Whether this is true or not, I don't know, but I do respect the fact that you know how to draw the line somewhere, no matter how talented a player may be Best of luck to both | ||

Admitting the truth helps keep Reign's name out of the mud. | ||

If someone wnats to talk to my players my name is here there n everywhere feel free. If someone feels their legal duty to undercut me, thats for a court to decide. Although pheonix doing what his is doing is kind of fitting to his persona, I dont believe any law was broken and this thread is unnecessary.. I.e its a defamation thread. If you got a problem with a player, sign them first. Then its easier to deal with the end result. I love you spades (i really do!!!) but this thread sux. This was simply in response to Desrow leaking a message Phoenix said that made it look like Reign wasn't following through on paying the players it signed. It turns out people were believing that, and it would have likely become a big deal had they not made a public announcement. Also how was this defamation? Oh no! Phoenix wanted to be able to travel from Korea to the US quite frequently when Reign couldn't afford it! What a terrible person! Oh wait, it's not a big deal and they just couldn't come to an agreement. I really don't think less of Phoenix for trying to get more out of the deal so he could get what he wants, and I don't see why others do.

People had started to believe that Reign signed players and didn't follow through with their contract, so it is good they stopped it before it spread. I don't understand your criticism. Edit: Also, the other thread that spread misinformation was actually closed due to this response. Having rumor threads being closed and the facts come forward in a timely fashion is actually what we SHOULD want on TL. Otherwise you end up with the EG/Puma situation where it goes on forever without any answered questions. | ||

We can just look at the EG-puma situation to see what kind of harm a slow reponse can do | ||

It seems to me you just used him to promote your team and then forced on him only what was in the contract although he asked for more. You should never have taken him on the team in the first place if what was said in the contract was all you cared for. | ||

Considering RGN's Shady past, and how poor their player relations are (remember when they decied to eff over VT?), I am hesitant to believe this as the 'official' way things went down. | ||

They were simply clearing up their name. What's hard to understand about that? With regards to "nobody really caring" about this news, I care. I like RGN, and I like staying abreast of community happenings. | ||

Shady Past, They are a new team? Eff over VT? THey are VT. It is the same Management with the same star players as VT with some new ones. This is the official response by the manager. | ||

Ya I agree that teams should be able to compete for players, but I don't understand why responding publicly to the suspicion that they aren't fulfilling contracts doesn't deserve its own thread. If they did not respond publicly then the image of their team would be much worse. If you are suggesting that they should have replied in the other thread, the OP in that thread had information that portrayed Reign negatively (and falsely) so why would they want to continue discussion there, when their response would be buried, and people would continue to see this seemingly negative side to Reign. Just on it's own, announcing that Phoenix will not be part of their lineup anymore seems thread worthy enough to me. I'd say that's about equivalent to a thread announcing a new Korean player joining a team. I do agree they could have gotten away with less details while still getting the point across, but I don't see why being a bit more transparent while not slandering anyone is such a bad thing, as I personally think it is refreshing to see them step forward and just discuss the topic publicly without making it about personal attacks. That is why I am so adamant to defend it, because I feel their response was a good one. Edit: I completely agree with the post below me. | ||

I have talked to all parties involved, and no end was achieved. But the end result is, this has nothing to do with FXO and the FXO name shouldnt be in the opening post. Story ends If "drama" starts up that causes people to question the integrity of the business side of your team the thread seems necessary. You probably would have done something similar to this in a more professional manner if it was leaked that FXO wasn't paying players. I agree that it was probably a mistake to do anything with phoenix prior to having a signed contract, but I think this post was necessary. Could Reign have done a better job with the post? Yes, but I like the transparency. I don't see anything defaming about it. To me it reads "We offered X, he wanted Y, we couldn't do Y." | ||

If someone isn't paying players, it should have blood wiped all over the front page. Its not necessary, until a conclusion is made. No conclusion is made. They are just relying on the community to back them up. No contract was made, therefore, no legal bounds are there. Its an irrelevant thread until "pheonix leaves reign" comes up. | ||
