I don't mind your blog, I was just sad it got spotlighted for no reason and i wasted my time reading through, waiting for something interesting to come up :/

I said you were "upset", which you pretty clearly are. Maybe not about the content but for it being "spotlighted for no reasons" and that you "wasted your time." That's absolutely fine, you're free to hate whatever the hell you damn-well please. But dont lie to me and yourself about not being upset. T_T

There are so many blogs posted on TL, does anyone read them all? I think that most ladder blogs are just about sharing what you've been doing and getting it onto the internet (and TL blogs section is a great platform for that). Because once you've shared something online, it becomes a million times harder to go back on your word, even if no one read it.

If you don't like reading ladder blogs then that's perfectly fine and I'm sure you're in the majority. But the blogs section on TL is something pretty unique in that anyone can post there and it can be seen by a massive community of Starcraft players. No one is forcing you to read incredibly boring blogs, so if you don't like them then just stop reading them. But don't shit on the players writing these blogs because they're just taking advantage of a useful platform for venting about the game they love.

If people are shoving their ladder blog down your throat, or posting blogs with no content then that's a separate issue which holds true for all posts on Team Liquid.

Well RogerX posted you (that is you in this case) made a lot of people upset, then for whatever reason you start talking about my post but I'm not even upset about your blog, only about it beeing spotlighted which you have nothing to do with directly (i guess .. ?)

This was all I'm getting at you see? You did nothing wrong, I don't hate on your blog or anything
Please don't try to lure me into something I never said anything about, thanks

I found 2 typos, you say do instead of too at the end of the second to last paragraph in 2) and it is "it's" at the end of the edit. (edit that edit!)

I really enjoyed the proberto story.

Dear nRoot. You wouldnt have been upset over it getting spotlighted if it wasnt so terrible, unfunny, badly written, and a waste of your time, right?

But again, you're free to be upset all you want. I still love you nRoot.

Edit: Thank Zirith, but I'll bet you could find more if you tried harder ! I dont usually even put apostrophes at all in contractions.

Other edit: nRoot, if you want to yell at me some more, please take it to PM.

And Zirith: Had you read Proberto before? : )

Thank you thank you thank you

If you don’t write to make people want to read, you can’t complain when people don’t want to read.


OMG thank you.

Ladder blog? I agree, that is a good idea. Time to go write one.

Listen to this man.
We should make it mandatory for every ladder blogs to include a minimum-100 word girl/boy problem so that we will read at least some of the blog.

I would rather read 10 ladder blogs instead of one more "omg im so nervous i cant play sc2 ladder, what do I do gaiz?"

Luckily those seem to have died off. Hopefully it stays that way.

But even those threads actually invite readers to respond in some way.. most ladder blogs you skim and you're like okay.... am I supposed to say something?

You can do that, just don't complain about no reads/comments or 0 stars out of 5 rankings (lol). The bad ones, the ranty ones, the ones I write frequently, they'll get the TLDR reaction and that's fine. If the only reason you ladder to practice is because you said you would on your blog, keep it up. I'm serious. Be inspired to put some more effort into battle-reporting it with screenshots instead of linking a replay and whining, but still blog.

I found 2 typos, you say do instead of too at the end of the second to last paragraph in 2) and it is "it's" at the end of the edit. (edit that edit!)


Writer is also comma-averse for introductory phrases, and comma-splurgy when a semicolon or second sentence is needed. Two run-on sentences. Two examples of subject-verb disagreement. One use of adjective "impossibly" instead of the noun, impossible. Whiningly is actually a word, and does not require hyphenation. One us of "I," instead of "I'm" or "I am." Several contraction errors are present, as previously mentioned. One count of a space between the last word of a sentence and its punctuation. All these previous mentions do not even begin to interrupt readability, so I don't know why you're pointing out typos. Here's a smiley face: =).
We're not saying , we're saying don't make us :z

What I don't get is who this particular blog, if anyone or group in particular, is targeted at?

Are there actually people who write these terrible blogs who get shitty when people don't read or respond to them? How do you know this? Do they actually post again in their blog something along the lines of "Come on guys why the fuck aren't you responding to my thread about my epic 45 minute, silver league, I-got-an-expo-and-10-carriers-to-fight-his-9-BCs-and-crushed-him game?" ?

The fact that i wouldn't have seen this if it wasn't spotlighted demonstrates exactly why the blog's main point is correct.

5/5

I suspect Bibbit wrote this ladder blog just to get rid of people from the blog ladder, the only ladder that truly manners.

SirJolt unleashed a monster when he introduced meta-ladder-gaming to this world.
