    Out of love for the truth and from desire to elucidate it, the Reverend Father Phanta, Master of Arts and Sacred Technology, and ordinary lecturer therein at Brawl forums, intends to defend the following statements and to dispute on them in that place. Therefore he asks that those who cannot be present and dispute with him orally shall do so in their absence by email. In the name of our Lord Chickenputin, Amen.

    1. All of our developers should be instantaneously released from service due to their extreme lack of competence.

    2. All of our governing administrators and general staff should be released from service due to their ineptitude in the fields of social moderation and empathy and/or sympathy.

    3. A revitalized developmental program should be formed after the dissolvation of the present one. The reformed program should involve programmers with some level of aptitude and timeliness, unaffected by the sinful grips of sloth.

    4. The great community of McPvP was desolated by its aquisition from the holy hclewk by our lord the grand father, Chaploo.

    5. A malevolent entity of insectile "bugs" plagues the sanctuary of our great gamemodes, and are ignored by the holy saints the coders, in favor of a denial-biased view on life.

    I'm not sure what "competence" means, but I'm pretty sure you're wrong.

    com·pe·tence
    ˈkämpədəns/
    noun
    1. the ability to do something successfully or efficiently.


    I believe the message of this thread is that our developers and administration should start fixing Brawl's sh*t. Something that is not being done "competently".

    You might want to look at the changes made in the past year.

    Shots are repeatedly being fired. Taking cover.

    It's very hard to tell satire apart from non-satire on the internet. Especially since we cannot hear you actually speak.

    Nothing is too ridiculous on the internet. Stupidity has no limits here. Anything can be real. Although it would have been more obvious had I read the intro part a bit closer.

    Nicely said, there's a lot of truth in there.

    I agree that things need to be run differently, leadership needs to drive results and use metrics to improve, and we need to shuffle people into being customers and not developers.

    Takes stones to call it like you see it. I dig it!

    Sorry to revitalize a dying thread (not 31 days yet beeyotch!) but this is a perfect example of Poe's law.

    In the holy name of my lord and saviour @NomNuggetNom, the one true weaver of the code and administrator of the servers, aah men.
