Alex Garfield speaks with PPJ and oddly enough he doesn't report back to us on a line by line basis. When we have something to share we will share it. There is no conspiracy or anything like that. You can argue against me about how fast it takes companies to respond and that won't change my tune as it is the reality we live in atm. I hope something comes of this really soon but it probably won't. It will take time. As for the tiers (which I addressed earlier) I will reiterate: I am not in charge of making sure these are done. This is a multi-team effort that takes a lot of moving parts. I ask about it semi regularly and we all say "yeah we need to do that asap" and that is where we are! | ||

If you guys did your research and ran the promotion through big sausage pizza instead of poppa john's pizza you would have had a quicker reply. | ||

I'm certain iNcontrol himself just went "Guys, we need a pizza sponsor. Who should we pick?". Because thats totally how things like this work | ||

I haven't kept up with this but it does kind of suck so little has come from it (so far) at least regarding the tiers. The tiers seemed to be from the team/community side so I did hold them to a higher standard. I certainly expected most of them to be done by now, perhaps naively. I never really expected any mega announcement that papajohns would be a new lead sponsor and savior to esports so I'm not sure what people expected from them. It was a promotional event, that's all. At the end of the day I bought pizza with the TL Dota2 team link because it was a good deal and I got to offer a little support, the tiers were an afterthought. They did the pizza eating contest, and I think they held an AMA thing on stream when that finished, it was a while ago though so I don't remember the details. | ||

The fact still remains, you are whining about half off pizza and youtube videos. You already got the half off pizza. Its a three day weekend, got outside and have fun, maybe the funny youtube videos will be here when you get back. | ||

Pretty sure one of the points of Plato's Republic is that the simplest definition of justice is doing what you say you will. If you can't at least do that, then one is unjust. And there is no logical rebuttal. If you think there is, feel free to explain it to me, and the rest of the philosophical community... | ||

Did you just try and bring Plato's Republic into an argument about funny youtube videos and show matches? Why would you lower it to such a level? Although you are correct they should follow through, are youtube videos worth indignation and outrage over? At the end of the day, are we not entertained by EG, Root and TL? | ||

Nice. Because God forbid I actually use what I've learned in life, and apply it huh? Especially when what I've learned disagrees with your opinion? Right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter who says or does it, no matter how big or small. And I call it how I see it. So yes, I do think this is worth outrage (I actually won't even watch the videos, but that is besides the point), but you can feel free to disagree. | ||
