Just for funsies, I figured I'd look through the post history. There's a bit of bashing EG's business model, some being irritated at Poa and Hobbes, a silly backhanded accusation of poaching, some hindsight-assisted judgements about Geoff... You really seem to shit on EG's player development a lot. There's a bunch of passive-aggressive stupidity, along the lines of 'well, some teams do this, unlike those other teams, which do this!' You don't tend to say any names, but it's only slightly less than blindingly obvious which ones you're talking about. I don't know what Puma did to you or your cat, but you haven't said a single good word about him, ever. You did call him a nobody after he won NASL, though, so I guess that's something. It's better than that time right around when he joined EG, when you said he was "finished as a top tier progamer - it's over for him".

In fairness to you, you've calmed down a lot since Huk-to-EG and Puma-to-EG happened. Back then it was all accusations of 'dragging others down' and predictions of imminent doom and unpopularity and high-minded assumptions about the glowing future of the TL/oGs partnership (really great call there, b-t-dubs). You also had this weird thing going on where you seemed to assume that Huk-to-EG only happened because there's some underlying hatred between the management teams and EG only acquired a player to fuck over another team, like some guy sauntering through a parking lot, smashing up people's cars with a bat, just 'cause he can. You commented on the wonderfulness and loyalty of Clide and SangHo, saying that Puma would regret his decision when he watched them winning foreign tournaments which he might have taken IF ONLY he'd never left TSL (again, good call on the futures of SlayerS'Clide and coLKiller). You've called their management liars, you've attempted to build some sort of case that the team is out to deceive everyone in a nefarious attempt to line their own pockets, while at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME claiming that their business practices are unsustainable and will lead to ruin, both for EG and for everyone who has ever played or even looked at a game ever. You've said they're "blatantly abusing" smaller teams, "screwing over" other teams and players "without a trace of good manner or respect", and accused people who've disagreed of racism.

You also said, and again I quote: "I'm literally looking forward to the day they disappear from the SC2 scene."

That's nice. It doesn't make your protestations of innocence sound good though.

Commendable effort and most of that's true, if a bit outdated. And some of it are jokes (the pets thing for fucks sake).

Admittedly I was blunt during the Puma/Huk transfers. I still think that the way large western gaming organizations do business is quite cutthroat and even nefarious to an extent (and did reflect negatively on every scene they all were involved with in the past), but I wouldn't have worded it as passionately today as I did in the past. In hindsight, it was stupid to get so emotionally involved in things completely out of my control - that one lesson I did learn.

The protestations of innocence was about the whole stalking thing and going around from thread to thread and fanclubs saying some abusive evil things. Most of the stuff you found was from a select couple of particularly hot threads almost a year ago.

More importantly, here are some posts that happened in the meantime, that you missed because you only looked in threads you wanted to look in:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=336097&currentpage=7#132 (on EG vs Empire)
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=336286&currentpage=10#181 (on Thorzain)
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=262214&currentpage=3#45 (about a guy who thinks I'm diabolically stalking him)
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=145494&currentpage=1477#29535 (more about the same person, I guess I am stalking him)

So hateful right? There's a ton more, but I can't remember the content enough to Google them. The whole Demuslim vs Nestea debate comes to mind etc.

So no, I'm not stalking anyone. The only reason I even bother trying to prove this to people who are usually less than reasonable is that I'm eventually going to say something negative about EG at one point or the other, and I don't want 10 angry nerds on my back talking about hate, thuggery and hooliganism every time I mention their GSL results when somebody proclaims them to be the best team etc. If you can't take the argument, then just don't argue rather than coming up with some ad hominem bullshit.

But I'm guessing this was just an exercise in futility afterall.

Yo, quick question. My itunes subscription of all the onemoregame.tv shows is no longer up to date. ITG stop at around mid-30's, Lo3 stop at 104 etc...

Where can I find the audio only rips of the other eps? I tried their site but it just gives me an rss of the same ones I have access to on my itunes. I'm dying for more dj_wheat but I just cant find it!

I actually just came to this thread to see if there was any word about the last 10 or so ITG episodes being updated on itunes. Then I found your epic post. Bravo sir, that is a truly entertaining little read. It's always nice to see haters/trolls getting exposed.
