Ruination: The Contagion - Discussion

It would probably help if there were more positive discussions going on instead of the overwhelming majority of it being negative.

And also, almost none of it is every out in the open. Way too much of the arguing is done in secret. I had to find out second hand that Spatula thought I was the worst results writer in ARC history and I pretty sure he's still never bothered really talking to me about it. Some actual real discussion on matters like that WOULD be constructive, but it's never happened.

Quite frankly so much of the discussions go on in small isolated chats that not everyone is privy to, but Kody does tend to be in a lot of them so he ends up being the only link that people involved in some debate or other have to communicate with the other party. And that can be VERY stressful for someone. And not every can deal with that kind of stress on a constant basis.

And yes it's a competitive game. Hell no game is ever quite as fun or enjoyable if no one is really putting forth an honest effort to win and has some emotional investment in it. But I'll also say I've probably had more fun at the different ARCcon get together's than I've ever had competing in/hosting any of the tournaments. Mostly because I value the actual human connections here more than the wins and losses.

I've actually been pretty happy here for the last decade since outside of a few stray members, people here have actually felt like real people and not just usernames on a screen. One of my worst moments here was when Joey left in a huff at the end of Armageddon. Prior to that we got on well and would talk regularly about random stuff on Messanger, but after he soured on the ARC community at large, just like that, I'm blocked and probably forever associated with his views of ARC.

As such I would REALLY not like to see that ever happen again. I don't like losing friends over (in the grand scheme of things) trivial matters.

Yes I can be rather stubborn when I think I'm right about something and usually am all too willing to debate it to death, but I virtually never hold real grudges against anyone and I'm always willing to put stuff in the past and move on.

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

really the argument in question didn't even concern kody, just his win record, which he had no control over. i don't know how or when this turned into a personal attack on him but it really shouldn't have. it's not his fault the writers appear to be biased toward his robots.

As far as I know, it didn't turn into a personal attack on him. I definitely never said anything close to that (until I told him to go fuck himself just now, but that was in clear reaction to his statement that he thought he was the 'babysitter' of this forum which is insanely condescending.) and I'm positive Spatula or anyone else never attacked him either. I don't know if anything was actually said, or if he's just taking it all personally.

I feel Kody didn't so much feel attacked personally but rather felt shit about the whole situation.

I wouldn't expect everyone to necessarily be friends, per se, but I'd expect a certain amount of respect to be shown to the other members. Perhaps simply explaining your position and viewpoint, rather than just a callous "go fuck yourself".

Like, idk. I stand by my statements. I think that him portraying himself of "the babysitter of the forums" is incredibly condescending, and "go fuck yourself" is an appropriate response. Acting like he's above it all and "its just a game" when I've seen him get just as upset at results or anything else that happens on this forum is also pretty patronizing.

As far as his record goes, yeah, I think its been more than a little ridiculous. Top of the power rankings for pretty much every single season since FRR5 is a little much. I also stand by my statement that his robots aren't good enough for that record to make sense; I'm not saying his robots are bad (even if it sounds like I've insinuated as much, for robots like Mass Hypnosis or w/e) it's not like he's entering underall, barrier, tank, japanese school girl every season.

That said, none of this is his 'fault' (and I don't think anyone's at 'fault' insofar that anyone is actively and maliciously giving kody wins) so there's no reason for him to take offense.

If this is about me making cracks about him cloning my robots well... Perseus and Mimete kind of speak for themselves! :P

As much as John and I argued, I gotta say, dude knew how to design some robots. And his crap is basically my biggest influence for designing now

I've never lived by anyone's rules but my own.
I didn't want to just say to your face "hey I think you're super biased towards kody" because that's like... a pretty huge goddamn accusation. I wanted to see how everyone else felt first and if people were happy with the results and felt nothing was wrong, then I wouldn't want to rock the boat. I'd chalk it up to my own neuroticism. If there was a consensus that kody was winning too much and it was going beyond normal sort of luck and randomness, then I'd say something.

And that seems to be the case so I said something. Unfortunately saying something caused badnik to pretty much reject me for having opinions, and kody to leave entirely so... there you go.

I'm just gonna sit here worrying I killed arc.

Well it's more in that it seemed to be an opinion that was floating around for some time before CB even started, and I presume was a major reason I wasn't asked to be part of the Robot Bastards staff (which is perfectly fine actually and I actually kind of liked having a break from writing after being on every staff since the FRR 4 playoffs).

All the same I don't want anyone to think I'm unapproachable. If I'm doing something dumb or you suspect I am, by all means let me know. I can be amazingly reasonable. :proud:
