Not only that, we also get kill stealing.

"They stole my aura".

Tilting will never be the same.

Yeah, this reads more like it has been in the works for a while and they were waiting for things to settle down before dropping it.

I understand it can be frustrating, but we have to be careful to not turn this into another "team". Finding a new scapegoat is not the way to break the cycle.

We can share our thoughts and help people learn, but we cannot force anyone to understand, that's something they have to do themselves.

That's the point, you have to push yourself to be the competent rando and carry your team.

The only thing you can control is your own play.

I would just be very cautious about this line of thinking as it can lead to inaction and procrastination. Not saying this is what you are doing now tho, but you are always gonna be more knowledgeable in the future and there is always more to learn and understand.

Exactly, at this point playing rain maker is like asking melee players to play Coin Battle or Stamina Mode. It’s alright for messing around or side events, but it just doesn’t work for high level competitive play.

But still, GGs to everyone involved , from the onsite to offsite staff y’all did an amazing job, and of course ggs to the players for showing amazing games.

My roommate came back home while finals were on. She has never played the game, but I was able to explain briefly what was going on since it was zone. And while a bit lost, she was able to understand the hype and was starting to get it.

Then next game was clam.. and .. yeah .. she just left.

And in this case, the accused has not shared their side of the story yet beyond denying the claim, at least publicly.

But still.. posting that stuff is really not ideal. Personally, I would have preferred an audit done by a neutral third party. Although, probably not realistic for a volunteer org.

I agree, but I feel like it the community response would have been more of the same. Doubling down on attacking SSC and doubting their competence.

It seems like you can never be judged innocent unless you post a google doc addressing everything. Guilty until proven innocent.

You are given a team and a reasonable budget to enhance and promote competitive splatoon. What kind of project would build and what would be your main priorities?

And of course, a safety council is not a tool of vengeance. It is not about taking care of your own personal vendetta.

Let's all strive to do better as a community. 🧵 5/5

We must try as a community to make sure people can feel safe.

But the task can never be on any single person or org.

While criticism is fair, I believe accusations made against Splat Safety under the premise that they make members of community feel unsafe are dangerous. 🧵 4/5

Your feelings are your own and not a single person can control or dictate them. Your sense of safety is constructed through your own experiences.

The only thing SSC can really do is prevent problematic individual from participating in events.

They are not social workers or therapists. 🧵 3/5

SSC is about enforcing safety within the Splatoon community by doing investigative work and providing banlists.

It is not about making people FEEL safe, it is about making the community safe.

I understand this may sound weird, and I'm sure they do try to make this happen, however — 🧵 2/5

I don't disagree with the statement but I don't think calling someone out and insulting them is the play.

A lot of people are going back to the drawing board after today and yea that's a good thing. Let's all learn together and make the western scene better.
