bump for S7, happy to compensate for your time if that's an issue as well :]

I feel like replying somewhat seriously and in-depth, so I shall.

I think this all comes down to the question of: What are we trying to accomplish as a community?

Do we want more stuff for us to play in? Do we want it to be a viable career for the best players? Do we want the community to be larger?

I don't think any of these have a clear 'Yes' answer.

To address the first: I personally don't enjoy playing tournaments that often, it's really intense, and it can be hours and hours of playing. They're fun every once in a while, but I wouldn't say that myself or many that I know would want to play weeklies.
In contrast, I actually really enjoy the concept of a season because it allows for someone, like myself, who works a normal 9-5 to play in the evening and do something rewarding with a really flexible level of commitment, from a match-only team to scrimming every night.

Do we want it to be a viable career path? To be frank, it's really no skin off my back whether anyone makes money playing the game I like. Maybe this is a selfish attitude, but life isn't really all about money, and if the top guys want to figure out a way to make money playing, that's more on them than on me/anyone in the community, I think.

Do we want the community to grow? Again, I don't really care that much. I think this community is pretty good as is, the size of the community doesn't really change the core of what I enjoy about the game. I wouldn't mind if the community grew or shrunk.

You may disagree with my opinions, but I think it seems like if we want to accomplish something as a community, that thing should be overwhelmingly popular, like RGL changes for example.

I think if you want to run tournaments, you should do it, because you want to.

it feels nice and you can't put a price on that :)

Let me preface this all by saying I am not going to defend every action that every admin has ever made in RGL history.
However, since you are replying specifically to Scream, let's look at some facts:

• This is Scream's first season as an admin.
  
• Scream has multiple seasons of advanced 6s, he is clearly good at the game.
  
• Scream has, throughout this thread, advocated for the correct decisions to be made, as well as been exceptionally respectful and patient.
  
• Bonus fact: he also claimed to have advocated for a change in the ruling regarding the actual OP of the thread.

If we, as a community, want more admins that are good players, patient, respectful, and make good decisions, we should recognize it when we see it.
I know it feels good to get mad at someone and that sort of thing, but that is not how progress is made.

Now this last part is conjecture, but I think if we support the admins, such as Scream, who consistently advocate for what is right, we can perhaps get these admins into places where they have the power to make decisions that benefit everyone.
