Well, quite predictably another thread having to do with Russia has become a proxy Ukraine Crisis thread. Whoulda thunk it.

Honestly I think that some reading on historical context doesn't really hurt people who waive the word "democracy" left and right without understanding where it came from. Some "arguments" he presented for his cause of the West being non-democratic are clearly ignorant and show that his only contact with political concepts is likely through online discussions with similarly delusional people.

On one hand I agree though that it could have been just a reply in the thread for the same effect, on the other the post is fucking obnoxious and I wouldn't like to discuss anything in the presence of such people (not that I have posted anything in General for the last year or so).

Easiest explanation is some people don't have enough imagination to imagine that other people think differently. Whenever I see such verbal diarrhea as that guy, I'm inclined to vote against whatever they are campaigning for.

If you want poiltical melodrama, you might as well just watch House of Cards, at least there it is both entertaining with a slight chance of nudity, the latter qualification is not often presented on TL.

And no, any resonable person who cares about the game and made a name in the competitive scene would not simply walk away. At least if these accusations are completely nonsense (which I cannot know).

Can we please, for the love of Bob, ditch this fantastically dishonest pretense that MagicAmy is just up and leaving for no fucking reason at all? IF MagicAmy is innocent, she is leaving behind a community which banded together to drive her away prompted by nothing but a few speculative forum posts. IF she's innocent, she's ditching a group of people who treated her horribly. It is not unreasonable to stop associating with people who treat you poorly. Christ.

Just because YOU think that the whole community banded together to drive her away doesn´t make it so. If you want to think that way, fine, but that is dishonest as well, also to you and you do many people injustice. There are enough people who give her the benefit of the doubt. But the way she treats the situation does not convince those people. Why should it? Again: That does not prove anything, but it increases the probabilty that it there is sth. to these accusations.

Also:

It doesn't matter that not every single Hearthstone player believes this shit or participated in pressuring TempoStorm. Some percentage of the community believed Specialists's story, pressured TempoStorm to investigate and are now crowing about how right they were because MagicAmy opted out of the offline event. With very few exceptions, everyone else sat on their hands. For the most part, the only people speaking are the ones brandishing the torches and pitchforks. If you're not speaking against it, you're tacitly giving it your approval.

And if you're more worried about the "injustice" done to you by lumping you in with the people who actively participated in this shit than you are about the fact that a community you're part of may have just ruined an innocent person's career for no reason? You'll have to forgive me for concluding that you're a horrible person who does, in fact, deserve to be lumped in with those people.

Injustice done to me? Dont´care, since it was from you. And no, I don´t have to forgive you anything. Your selfrighteous arrogance just improves my last post. Have a nice life, sir!

If MagicAmy had put up play, I would have watched it. I would also have watched the various play reviews that showed up from professionals. If there had been any modicum of support for her, I would have become an instant supporter. There are many people who are with me. The story of the girl scorned by the community who manages to show how good she is despite hate is a very strong and compelling one, as shown by players like Scarlett. She still gets shit, certainly, but there's a ton of support for her as well. MagicAmy would have gotten the same treatment, probably with even more support.

Let's turn things around. What would it take you to believe that she's a fraud? What evidence do you need? Keep in mind that there does need to be some reasonable standard that can be reached, because otherwise cheats can get away with anything.

What would it take for me to believe she's a fraud? How about evidence that actually speaks to the question being asked?

-Chat logs show that she was sharing some social media accounts with someone. Not evidence of faked identity or cheating at Hearthstone.

-Celerity's bank statement shows he gave her money but not that she "scammed" him. Even if she mislead him about that money, that has nothing to do with Hearthstone.

-Nobody has yet even tried to speculate what her motive is supposed to have been. What's the end game? Why fake your way through online qualifiers for a live event when you KNOW you won't be able to attend the live event without giving yourself away? If William Blaney is the brains behind MagicAmy, it makes a metric shitton more sense to play as yourself so you can attend the live events with the big prizes, doesn't it? Especially considering that all the money that could be made is the main reason people keep saying they think it's fishy that MagicAmy backed out. "Why would she turn down all that money to play at live events if she was real?!?!?", they ask. Well, I'm asking "If money is the primary motivator here, why wouldn't William Blaney just play as himself so he could actually attend these live events that he KNEW he was qualifying for?"

So what would it take? It would take evidence that actually makes some sort of sense, fits with a coherent explanation and stands up to scrutiny.

You didn't answer the question.

Like hell I didn't. I'm not fucking clairvoyant, dudebro. I don't know specifically what facts it would take because such facts are currently not in evidence. How about all the shit TempoStorm looked for and didn't find? How about evidence that, during a tournament, MagicAmy's HS account connected from someplace she was known to not be? How about evidence of someone with verifiable Hearthstone knowledge talking to MagicAmy with voice and video willing to say that she was unable to speak competently about the game? How about a possible motive for this alleged conspiracy that isn't contradicted by reality?

You want to know why I won't accept a shared skype account as evidence of faked identity? You want to know why one person's word that she was dishonest about X doesn't convince me that she also lied about Y? You want to know why a bunch of amateur psychoanalysts saying she appeared disinterested on camera doesn't convince me that someone was feeding her plays she didn't understand? You want to know why unwillingness to talk to Forsen on Skype doesn't convince me she's hiding the fact that she's really a man? Because I'm not an abject fucking moron. That's why.

He's right, you failed to answer the question.

Does your brain just disengage after reading one sentence? How specific do you want me to be? There are two very specific examples of things that would count as evidence to me in the very post you're quoting.

Riddle me this: if you're just going to declare everything that doesn't fit with your preferred narrative insufficient or a lie by fiat, why are you even trying to have this conversation? Just toddle off and believe whatever BS you want and let the grown ups talk.

Hehe, I understand what you mean. Insulting like everybody who does not share his point of view (which he claims to be the absolute truth) normally results in bans om TL. But I´m not a administrator.
On the other side, I somehow enjoy watching him rage. I know, I shouldn´t, but it comtinues putting smiles on my face.

The last 50 or so pages are a complete travesty of what this thread originally was, and the people perpetuating this mundane crap need to be sodomized with a rotten banana.

Its just really tiresome coming into the thread everyday and seeing yet another scrub who got a bit of BM during a shit game and thought "yes, I can post this crap on TL for a bit of fame".

Case in point, this fucking nerd right here:
