plz yust shut the fuck up.
we never asked anybody to be here on the forum for our own sake, teamliquid is a community that is based on love for the games we play. sure many of us here try to improve, some maby try to become progamer, but i can say for most people here in teamliquid its still the community that is most important.
you did some nifty work in creating that book, i have to admit it. but its yust sad that you are trying to blame us for not satisfying your own financal needs.
really deeply sad.
Are you leveling me? You must have been really eager to find that book link, and just skipped the 100 other jokes in that. But now that I really think about it, yeah yo I think sabas123 is the main culprit. Nope, not my choice to not charge anything. I was looking for one person to single out. Looking in the mirror gets tiring.
I'm def not going to edit that line, though, as it appears to be getting to some. Yeah, let it sink in and trouble you at night, as I do something else. I could be playing against noobs, but no, the game is over. You guys might be a community, but I got a family. And my family doesn't live off nothingness. Imagine if I had 4 babies and 4 baby mommas to take care of. Everyone would be dead, and it would be on you. That's on your watch.
Have you guys seen how much some sites are worth, even this one... shoot, let my family die over the game. Quibbling over pennies, when I'm looking at billions. Give my site some monopoly money.
tbh i think you earn more money by sites like moneymillionair than asking money for your book now purely becouse of that it has been free for so long already.
althou i do find it sad that you (not in a offenive way) don't earn enough money to support your family (atleast thats what i am getting from your posts)
"Imagine if I had 4 babies and 4 baby mommas to take care of. Everyone would be dead, and it would be on you. That's on your watch." it really isn't. no matter which way you put it, you can't really blame us even it that would happen (which i hope it won't) becouse there are still plently of ways to or make enough money by other means, or survive without money.
You're too easy sabas123. I don't have a family to support, but I gotta support myself. You should see me. 6 feet and 150 pounds. You know what that means, that's a metabolism on overdrive. That means as soon as I eat something, before I've even digested it, it's already converted to energy. I can't keep up. Maybe that's how it works, I'm not sure; I've been too busy trying to pwn noobs for you.
I don't want to make money unless it's through cool means like doing nothing. It doesn't get any cooler than saying, I'ma pwn some noobs and feel free to give me some money. I don't know what moneymillionair is and I don't want to look it up beforehand. If that's some kinda joke or something, I'ma let you get me. I'll look it up after this.
Between what you're saying and what I'm listening to
Maybe I can find a way to survive. But how comfy will it be. Please take into account my comfort level. I'm sleeping on rocks and stones and too uncomfortable to find out the difference between those. I have bigger priorities.

moneymillionair is a site that basicly pays you for seeing ads, its little work and can give some income for some extra little stuff.
Sounds kinda illegal. Sounds kinda nice, but... set me up a bot that does all the work and we're set. So close. Online, sometimes, at least in the past I did some online data entry work. I like typing numbers more so than letters. I got a score that's third on some site, behind some Harvard Asian kid and the "typing champion" Shawn Wrona. This Wrona kid is like king nerd. Spent endless hours doing typing races and what not. I wanted to tell him, hey you could be making thousands doing the same thing but... on a different site, but I guess I'm like you: I could give them some pennies, but meh, I'd rather watch them struggle.
I hope that kid is drowning right now. Go us. I want to be the life guard the only guards lives not in danger.

it's funny how people assume something discard awnsers so quickly becouse it doesn't fit with their expectations.
Not that it matters and this is merely becoming a blog/journal (hence I why I made a journal site , but obviously I've been thinking about what to do concerning gaming. There's too many question marks, and what is said publicly is taking the "gaming" out of pro gaming. You have managers like Total Biscuit saying that skill is largely irrelevant. Talking in a manner like he has such a great personality and others don't. It's just kinda sick to me. Gaming is largely an introverted endeavor. Most of us are going to be more reserved in nature and only show our true personality in settings we're very comfortable in.
I'm half-black. Is maximusblack better than me? Has he tried harder in gaming than me? Does he probably have more of a personality? I dunno. I just see an extroverted person, though. Big deal. 75% of life isn't rare or amazing to me. If life isn't already dominated enough by them, they they have to come into gaming and set the parameters and be the judge on who has personality? Whatever happened to taking who you truly thought was the best player and working on bringing their personality out.
Korea is one of the most introverted countries, if not the most. Somehow they found a way to make it work out. Imagine your favorite sports team and then start subtracting people that don't seem to have the "best personality." You have to find ways to get sponsors their exposure without making a mockery out of the profession. No other sport works like this. To me it shows a lack of creativity, and maybe that's part of their problem. Maybe they should stick to talking. It's gaming. Not dating.
Even if the scene were "pure" and gaming results were all that mattered, where's the transparency? How much can you expect to make? It can't be amazing. Who says embark on a 100 mile run just to see if something worthwhile is there or not. How many are going to stop short due to losing faith in something "being there?" So much is left to be desired from a player's standpoint.
There's always something, though. Even when I could have tried out for Estro, I played on every server. Yeah, I wish I could pull a totalbiscuit and talk about how awesome I'm at things that don't matter. I swear I'm a great cook. Try to convince them that's what matters. Even if that were true and that's what sponsors wanted, who the fuck cares? It's not cooking. It's not a reality tv show, either. They were 10000x better than me, and there was no doubt I didn't belong there, whether artificial reasons could be created or not.
Anyways, going to stop being as lazy... and try to get one of those job things. I'd like to not play any HotS, but... I like it so far and the game is way more suited for me than BW or WoL is, so why not play on the side, even if I don't get the game right away.
And for sabas, pray for my imaginary baby mommas and babies. I have a hearing in 3 days, and if things go "how they should" it will be a 1,500 profit day. That's a lot of baby food for my imaginary family.
I want people to remember that Nyoken was one of the best Terrans ever from the US. When managers shun and indirectly hate on people like him, remember what kind of talent and skill is being discriminated against. I'm sure Nyoken is a very interesting guy. But, I'll never know because we're only highlighting people that already do a good job of doing it for themselves. Total bs.

That said there are also plenty of female players that get zero recognition or sponsorship because they don't properly market themselves, just like the endless stacks of male players who are supposedly "skilled" but have the personality of a cinder block.
That's a quote from today. I'm curious as to who are these people with these "cinder block" personalities? Was Korea wrong for focusing on skill first? Was it wrong to have to win a tournament to get a pro license? I'm just curious if you think this is a better deal for all parties involved. To me, it just seems like a good deal for whores.
What's sad to me is that despite having no connection or history between each other, is that I'm in a BW forum, which you can't ever be checking, yet I knew without a doubt I would be getting a reply from you. You guys like to pride yourself on how marketable "x" is and yada fucking do, yet it's just an easy game of manipulation. I could bait you into some drama that I possibly wouldn't even care about, and next thing you know I'm getting publicity. What do they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity? Say I become the most hated person, but I'm known for it, well at least that team will always be in the news.
Good at marketing themselves... what are they marketing? mediocrity? Drama? There used to be a saying that was something to the effect of "let the your results do the talking for you." I see a lot of people with no results just talking to talk. Anyone can do that. Big fucking deal. Maybe I'm doing that now. Does that make me a better person/player. Does that make more more marketable? It shouldn't be my job to bs people. What kind of foundation is that.
If you got so much money and you're doing so well, how about hiring some people to help market players if you haven't already. Let a kid focus on playing a game. In what sport does anyone have to worry about marketing themselves until after they are a pro? I'm genuinely curious. You know 75% of gifted people are introverted. The more intelligent one is, the more introverted they tend to be. I'm just curious what kinda impact that might have. God forbid their personality was affected in a "negative" way in regards to sponsors. You're involved in a game that involves cognition, and we're going to focus on extroverted people that say bs, bs ,bs.
You can sweep players under the rug with bs excuses, but I know players like Nyoken are still way more fucking talented than any of your pokebunnies and bs maximusblacks. Enjoy the fraud while you can keep it up is all I can say. I don't know who you're doing a favor for, though, acting like personality is some trump card. Are you dating these guys? I'd hate to think I'd ever have to be that interested in a guy's personality.
