The ignorance of Sirken is why I left this server, and until decisions by staff don't boil down to one-sided highly-edited fraps competitions, p99 will continue to erode. I hope they launch that rotation server honestly, so we can see if the two playstyles can stand on their own.
I remember when I quit, Sirken suspended TMO because IB trained themselves in VP. Right after the ruling he poofed, for weeks, unwilling to look at evidence, and unfortunately Sirken seems to be the end-all-be-all for these decisions so there was no one to appeal to. He did the same thing with a player dispute a few months prior, death touching some people because he didn't understand what was going on, only talking to one side, then hiding rather than discuss the issue.
It's really hard keeping players that care about the game when decisions are made by people that lack the fortitude to learn from their mistakes. I hope these decisions become public threads with both sides presenting evidence in the future, because right now Sirken is like a drunk parent ignorantly lashing out, unwilling to apologize when he's sobered up.
For most of the server this doesn't matter though. Eventually he will kill off the guild he chooses and things will calm down until competition rears its ugly head again.
