Ode to a Sakura (Otherwise Known as Poem for a Female Child)

Soaring forever towards the lofty sky
You fly as though on angel's wings
And in the view of mine watering eye
Proceed to "wreck" most everything.
In our hearts, eternal, will you fly
Carried by a love unrivaled by kings
For the anime which you were mastered by
And all joy from within you brings.
Burn no more at our bedsides
For you feel no more flame in your heart
And search well for pastures greener
That pain again shall not start.
And know that in us all resides
A regret both sharp and tart
That in view you found us meaner
And thus must with us part.

Oh, were it a dream, and I could see
The name in mumble that we pine for
Perhaps I could turn fate and be
Just a little kinder.
Through the clouds forever, you will soar
Living through our memory
But with us now no more.

Though the coals may have dimmed
In misty morning haze
I can hope they will be remade
With an even brighter blaze.
Sadness your spirit hemmed
And so you left us in a daze
But let fondness for you never fade
And live to happier days.
Nevermore may you roam upon our silver screens
But forever in our hearts and our fondest dreams.

We've been trying to get jav to calm down with all this anime shit but he just keeps insisting.

dat 100% introvert

Also I feel like the description might have been right at a point, like I was probably idealistic at one point, but then the world crushed all my dreams so I stopped being idealistic. And how can I help people if I try my hardest never to interact with them in real life? I feel like they didn't think this through.

I think you're missing my point. Your original post was about how allowing players to be recognized based on skill was a bad idea because it was possible for them to more easily influence the opinions of others. I think you sort of changed your argument to say that removing blue for invite means there will be less instances of a player having the ability to influence others.

I'm saying this is unfair because there already exists a number of people on the site who have name recognition that is influential in the opinions of other people. They have this regardless of their name color. By taking away blue names, you take away any additional influence of lower or less well known players who are newer to invite, but don't do anything to take away the influence of well known invite players, or even your own influence. Regardless of whether these players misuse it, they have it, and removing blue names makes it more difficult for other newer players to gain it, regardless of whether they would misuse it.

Also as to the last part of your post, getting rid of blue names doesn't get rid of invite players, therefore the situation you posed there is literally not at all impacted by the lack of blue names. What you should have said is "Sometimes all it takes is a single post from someone other people know is an invite player. . ."

You're basically interested in preventing people from knowing other people are invite players without having to look at esea rosters.

I disagree. I think that players are far more likely to agree with names they know than anything else. There are tiers to these things that (prior to the elimination of blue names based on invite status) looked like this: well known player with blue/green > well known player > lesser known player with blue/green > everyone else.

I guess your argument is that people who are well known or have green names are responsible and won't misuse their reputations. This isn't really fair because it's not as if every player who would get recognition for making invite would misuse their names, and it doesn't mean that every player who is well known or has a green name now is consistently responsible and won't misuse theirs. Basically the elimination of blue names/lack of recognition for player experience etc. just seems to impede on the process of newer players actually becoming well known/respected in the community.

Well if you really carry this to its eventual logical outcome, we should all be posting anonymously. You already have significant name recognition in this community, as do many other streamers and high invite players. If people bandwagon behind blue/green names they're just as likely to bandwagon behind well known names regardless of color.

So then I assume you advocate black names for all?

wow all those seasons for nothing no blue no nerd honor

Based on scrims thus far the 4th spot really isn't even close to set in stone. Let alone the 5th. That could obviously change over the course of the season, but the bottom 6 is pretty even right now.

This sort of implies that you NEED to play mge to be successful in higher levels of tf2 which isn't really true. I've played with plenty of people who were good and rarely, if ever, played mge. Of course I guess now I'm on the biggest mgelord/mgetryhard team of all time but phrakture bl0ws anyway so mge probably isn't required to be good at tf2.

Wow, you guys let that phrakture clown make invite? What were you thinking?

One day I'll have a blue name.
