I notice you're not naming any names. I assume that "Svenne" isn't the embezzler? So is he in the right or the wrong? I don't really care I'm just curious because I'm a big procrastinator who wants to delay looking at these register docs for another day.

MrLonghair posted:The insider summary is that the arranger didn't want to come clean about embezzlement or present any bank drafts (I've seen the numbers, he can get nailed with jailtime) and then he changed his mind 120% about what he wanted to do with ESA and took passwords, accounts, money, equipment and ran off with four others with everything ESA. Which person is the arranger again?

Something got into his head hard about making complete 180 about what he wanted to do with ESA, he was ready to make this one the last he worked on, I've got Skypelogs. It's dumb loving drama that could have been taken care of better, Ludendi will be painted with ugly colours. e: but then again I like the Swedes of Speed name and idea more than ESA. Easier and cheaper to arrange a Swede/Scandi/WhoeverComes small cool event. e: not 100% sure what Ludendi had about what they wanted to do with ESA though, speaking of internal knowledge.

Alabaster White posted:poo poo, this is the kind of run I've always wanted Dude also runs SH2 10-Star if you're willing to dig through his video archives a bit and I think he did do a small bit of SH1 10-star waaaay the gently caress back when but that never really took off because both of us were too busy whooping the poo poo out of any%. 10-star is kinda cool but he is basically the only person who runs it and definitely the only person who routes it, I'd like to say I'd want more people to do it so it can get really optimised but I don't do it because it looks too drat frustrating for me so I'm part of the problem  Eonwe posted:Honestly, I know it annoys people that I'm into drama here, but if people didn't do poo poo like that, I'd be all about the speedruns. I know it isn't unique to the speedrunning game community, but its still amazing that we get all this bullshit out of a group of people affiliated because they like to play video games in a quick fashion It's not really that amazing, speedrunners are still people and people perform all sorts of stupid poo poo. It ain't a great surprise that these people who are known for an activity that isn't renowned for developing social prowess occasionally do stupid poo poo. for the record, it doesn't necessarily annoy me personally that you're into drama. Drama is fun, this new ESA drama is something to look out for because of its actual relevance, the cucking thing was funny at the time. What does slightly irk me is the fact it's still one of the more prevalent thread topics despite it having been months since it actually happened, dude hosed someone else's wife, we know. It has lost its lustre, presumably much like the cuck's marriage. i know i'm probably just going to get mocked for even posting this at all but w/e I'm a speedrunner I don't loving need social awareness SuccinctAndPunchy fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Dec 3, 2014 |

I wouldn't mock you. But honestly - it is a little surprising to me that this stuff happens. The cuck thing only gets brought up because its honestly one of the weirdest loving stories ever. I think the reason I find it so fascinating is that there are all these speedrunners there to raise money for a really awesome cause, and yet people are there loving each others wives and not showering to the point of needing to be febreezed. Also that one guy that ran Kirby (I think?) one GDQ and he was obviously drunk and then got kicked out for trying to grope some married girl. I'll let it go, I just wanted to explain why I find it pretty interesting. eonwe fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Dec 3, 2014 |

Just finding a fresh game and speedrunning is really fun. A strong driving force pushing me to getting Yakuza Ishin run and up on SDA is that the Yakuza 3 run on there is obscenely-rear end-poo poo. It's not only a NewGame+ with the best gun in the game, it's also a bad run. Which NG+ speedruns make for a better/more interesting/entertaining watch?

KennyMan666 posted:If Svenne indeed was the one who drunkenly destroyed a toilet at Nyeport during ESA and refused to take any sort of responsibility (I saw the toilet in question and good loving god anyone who does anything of the sort should be rightfully banned from the venue, as he also was), and additionally refused to communicate in English during a Skype discussion about ESA that he very well knew were to include people not speaking Swedish, I'm not going to consider him being "in the right". In this affair he's in the right, dog knows about his conduct though. But those he's more in need of management than an .nl runner who was rejected due to need of management.

It sounds like Edenal is in the wrong in how he did things, but if the alternate is Svenne being in charge, given everything I've heard about what Svenne has done (not just with the toilet), I'm not sure which outcome is best for ESA.

Everybody should just post about whatever they want. If it relates to speedrunning in any way whatsoever it belongs in this thread. It's not like this is some megathread with hundreds of replies everyday; it's pretty easy to scroll past poo poo you don't like. Truly, the most annoying thing is posts like this one telling people what they should or shouldn't post so here's some real content: A Month-Long Race to See Who Can Finish 21 Final Fantasy Games First

At the point it's gotten to it's basically a video game convention as much as it is a charity event. I know the people who help organize it and most of the people who have been there since the early days still really see it as a chance to play games and raise money but there are lots of runners who see it as an excuse to party with friends they would otherwise only know online. That's not necessarily a bad thing because the stuff that ends up on stream is still the positive stuff but you end up with weird other stories like people loving around and getting drunk. Plus it's a bunch of nerds at a nerd party. Weird poo poo is bound to happen.

If people were as good with alcohol as I am (only get physical latency) I'd be okay with people being drunk at places like that. As it is now I'd want to run a tri-corder at the door. Wasn't there also some channer challenging another to a lobby fight at AGDQ complete with surveillance video?

He's still doing but is currently on CV4 to get in shape for the big race at AGDQ, he's also gonna be racing DK28 at Contra so he's also playing that one occasionally and his mother is not well due to liver issues he's been streaming sporadically. He's doing good progress on the NESmania thing, I think he's at a 147, I still can't believe he beat Ikari Warriors with the ABBA code.

Tracula posted:Didn't he say human being or some other slur during his Kirby run as well? I thought that was the main reason he got canned. I don't remember human being but he said gently caress a few times and called some boss a bitch. There was also a lot of sentiment among the people who were just there hanging out that he was going too hard. People tried cutting him off at some points and he'd always just go somewhere else. this is depressing let's talk about the 'texan' chick who read beat poetry, begged Naegleria to let her stay and tried to steal KirkQ's bag.

Although I'm sure him being very drunk almost the entire time he was at the event probably played a big part in the other things that happened.

Crotch Bat posted:I have never heard of this and I'm infinitely Well I came into the casual room in the middle of the beat poetry. Soon after hotel staff showed up and asked for her badge. This was when she begged everyone to let her stay. As she was leaving the room right after this she grabbed KirkQ's bag. Of course this was directly in front of him so he just said no and took it back. Later that night a bunch of people were in a private hotel room watching the house of the dead and other poo poo movies. Someone was coming back into the room and as the door was closing she just kinda stumbled in. I say stumbled quite literally, she nearly took out the floor lamp and the tv in the room before people physically removed her from the room. This was when she uttered the "It's ok, I'm texan" line. I think naegleria told me she asked him if her tits looked real. They didn't.
