We were told to hold off until september 11th where we would promptly get a new PR after the culmination of the OSL finals. Prompt isn't what's happening and people are perfectly entitled to be annoyed with it. Oh ok. I guess it's my mistake for not realizing people here are entitled to content. | ||

Why don't YOU write your own power rankings. No one owes you anything. I sincerely hope everyone who complained about the delay gets banned permanently. So sick of this shit. | ||

The "I'd like to see you do better," and "You're not ENTITLED to anything!" stuff. It's true, no one has some immutable right to power ranks on this site, but you guys who are complaining so hard about, well, other people complaining need to realize that the reason people are upset is not as plain and simple as "the power rank is a little late." That's old hat by now. People have been fairly patient and cordial, giving the power rank an extra 10 days to let the OSL conclude, being promised that once that was over we would have a definitive rank. Now this wasn't a direct promise to the forumers or anything, but it was kind of a guarantee if you will. Time passes and the OSL ends, so now people are expecting a power rank. Plexa comes in, two days ago, and say that he's seen the rank and that as soon as his replacement logs on it will go up. This led some people to think that "Oh it'll be up soon, I can stick around because I really enjoy reading it." Now while it's kind of silly to postpone sleep for an arbitrary ranking of starcraft players, some people really enjoy reading it, so they did. I'm sure they all went to bed, eventually, a bit disappointed that it didn't come out in time -- atleast it'll be out tomorrow, right? Well, no, not quite. It seems that guarantee from Plexa fell through pretty badly. But it's only a day late so it should be out sometime today, that's great, right? Well, no, once again another day passed. I know this is a lot of words to describe how it is to someone who doesn't care so hard that they're angry at other people caring (I love the irony in this thread, there's people in here who care so much about other people caring that they want them banned. I mean seriously, you're more venomous and spiteful than those who are just disappointed, don't you realize that?), but for people who really like the rank, getting guaranteed a rank soon and then getting held off, held off, and then insulted by holier than thou forumers who act like their opinion on the rank's tardiness is better kind of sucks so maybe you should just let people air their perfectly reasonable complaints. I mean, the power rank isn't a big deal, after all, why does it matter if people complain? :p | ||

PR threads were already fanboy ghettos replete with defensive handwringing but this really takes the fucking cake. Flash wins decisively and yet the whining and bitching is turned up to even higher levels, as if every passing moment threatened Flash's all-important #1 rank. He won! He is acknowledged as the best, the bonjwa, even without TL's imprimatur. Power ranks aren't the Holy Scriptures guys, raging like this is pathetic. You'll survive without it a day, a few days or however long it takes for it to come up. It's great that some of you value the PR so much but this is ridiculous. | ||

If you bothered looking at the comments you'd see plenty of people did write their own rankings to pass the time. As TTT said, people are annoyed because they were told it was coming soon and there's an unexplained delay. Pretty reasonable. All the people bitching about people bitching are the truly sad ones. I mean, thank god you're all here "contributing" by abusing other people. | ||

Bisu It was pretty obvious that he just straight up didn't care this month, so that grants him number 1 in my book. He also continues to have the best hair and best looks in pro Brood War. 2-10. Who cares? No one can be as good as Bisu. No one. But more to the point, honestly who cares what some other guy ranks people at each month? Yeah, it's an interesting read but just like any other random 10 slot ranking system it doesn't mean shit. We all already know that Flash and Jaedong are better than everyone else, we also know that there are a dozen or so people who are all over the board there's just 10 slots in the PR though so that's what you get stuck with. But seriously, Bisu > all. | ||

It's also the first official article by TL regarding the culmination of the most successful year for a progamer ever. I'm sure "Is he going to do it?" was on a lot of people's minds before Shanghai. The delay also made it sound a lot like #3-10 had been written and put away already, and possibly even #2 barring flash forgetting how to build SCVs in Shanghai. And yet despite the obviousness of the rankings it hasn't been posted yet 2 days later. | ||

It's just they're not all trustworthy to set aside their bias to do so. I'm sure if I wrote it this month I'd get some silly KT comments etc. On September 13 2010 15:04 soudo wrote: Oh ok.

Like this makes you so much more of a human being than any of us because we want to read it. Seriously, what's with the non-mod police squad who seem to want to endlessly comment on other people commenting. Driving me nuts. | ||
