When I first got picked as a rookie for this draft, I was pretty excited about it. In all honesty, I'm still pretty proud that someone thought I should be on a team at all. I'm just over 30 days into this game now, after all, barely taking my first steps.
However, I almost want nothing to do with this now. This thread started as some trash talk, which is expected for a game, but it's devolved into childish squabbling I would expect to see in a schoolroom. Who bribed who, who's morally superior, is it Coke or Pepsi, who's gay for who- does it really matter? From what I can gather, this is supposed to be a fun event. There have been issues from the start with DTT dropping, but working around them together is part of trying to make a good thing. Mistakes happen, and the PR team has worked with what they've got. Maybe they haven't handled it the best way that satisfies everyone, but that's a part of being human. With the attacks and stress that everyone is putting on them to make this event perfect, who can blame them?
Initially, I intended to stay silent for this draft as I'm new. I'll be the first to admit I know precious little about this game, but what I do know is that those in the thread the most often are also the ones acting the most childish. Some have irl stress and some have owned up to it, but I can't count a one trying to legitimately fix this situation. The last constructive comment or bit of banter that didn't personally attack someone was... wait, was there one?
It seems the only one trying to preserve the original intent of this event is the one handling prizes.
On that note, I'm not opposed to the prize money going out. I'm not ashamed to say I could definitely use it and I'm sure the other rookie picks could too. I'm thankful to everyone who donates prizes- without you all, the drafts wouldn't be what they've come to be. However, no amount of prizes can change the fact that this has completely flipped from what it was meant to be.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk, that's all I've got to say about this. I hope everyone is proud of what they've made out of a mildly challenging situation.
