Why do you want to be a player representative for Rules Committee?

 While being commonly seen as a jokester of the league, I truly look for the betterment of the league and would like to assist by increasing communication of League staff

@BS | SABRiNA++ 🏆

In what ways do you see Rules Committee as a possibility to "increase communication of League staff"?

i think a channel similar to #admin-updates that delivers a "press release" style discussion of what RC is tackling and what may be the hold up. A whole LOT of information stays private simply because it should be when in a private discussion channel, but there are ways to safely articulate parts of what League voted Representatives (and the rest of RC) are ACTUALLY discussing without leaking personal details and other sensitive bits (this can be sifted and waded thru to present a PR take). Often i feel like the "voted in" element is forgotten about and there should be more responsibility to actually be on ally of the community when in the role. GMs, staff heads and all of RC should ideally also be in communication more with the people they are elected to serve. As a start at least.

^ in response to Scraps !

I am deeply in favor of the kind of "RC Updates" channel you mentioned, I think that's a great start. However as we've seen repeatedly with admin updates, simply having a channel is not enough. How would you ensure that the channel is kept active and used for its intended purpose?

if elected i would allow people to randomly ping me to keep it in the spotlight and to keep RC (mostly myself i guess) more accountable for actually keeping a communication with the rest of the league. i do worry that some person's harsh stance that is keeping things from changing something might be conveyed toooooo clearly and there might be a witchhunt scenario to figure out "who could be holding up GM term limits?!?!?!?!?!" per se,,, but i think the community also deserves to know which of the members of the almighty rule deciding council might be holding things back, as previously I felt like (and still partially do) that some Staff members got in early and are now endemic servants that can be forever stuck in their Positions AND their opinions allll while not being seen as the problem simply because tenure... There needs to be a lot more communication, the league is getting tooo big to not be transparent.

I just mentioned this question for Gm rep but feel it may be good here as well. Keepers were given a large share of the blame when discussing mid-season drop outs for players. I always felt that there were more reasons to that and to point our fingers at one felt a bit rushed. However, I concede that while I still disagree with the rule and hasn't really changed how things are done, I see a positive being the new playerbase is more happy. That being said- what were your thoughts on the rule change? Have those thoughts changed? --------- I also want to ask about promotions. Numbers committee decides the tier lines and where players land. Players that are promoted are taking away a roster spot from someone assigned to that tier. Too much of that and suddenly you have 5%-10% of a tier's rostered players come from a different tier. Should there be a limit on the amount of players a franchise can promote in a tier?

i like this give me a sec to respond these are good Questions

SORRRRRYYYYYYY I HALF RESPONDED TO BOTH LAST NIGHT THEN HOPPED ON POKEMANS SORRY there are a bunch of reasons why mid season drop outs happen, keepers and the act of trialing players without really intending to keep them (my teams have done when we know theres only one rifler spot available realistically) is under the umbrella of "keepers being the issue". In the sense it is but the nepotism angle of wanting to build a Franchise or a team around players you want to keep for a While because they work great together, just vibe really well and some become captains as a psuedo-AGM especially after longer tenures. That was always encouraged it felt like until the recent sweeping change to lock keepers. I think a limit was needed ESPECIALLY after getting a huge wave from xbox, there had to be ways to keep new players in. Hard to tell so recent after a tier addition, and major spike in member numbers overall that the rule change was "good" objectively or not but i think it should stand. Four players is still a lot and id argue to adjust the rule to three keepers from the season beforec, i feel as if FA signings in a period like rn during combines have been SEVERELY punished, but that was really my original stance with the Rule. At this point I dont think it needs any changes, content now with the ruling. yesss as someone who Numbers is trying so desperately hard to keep in contender, im a consistant promotion Player taking up a spot in a roster as an IGL where more of my 'stats' come off the field so i justifyably am misplaced and require a promo to get into the rank i can win and hang around in (i can in elite GMs if youre looking if fr). It isnt healthy for new players for sure and there has for sure been times where there is upgrades over me and the franchise hasnt jumped the gun even if it would, on paper and in a vaccum, be better moves but there was a lot of trust and faith provided by the long franchise relationship. i really have a gripe with numbers committee bc the God who decides all wont let me join, as well as there is a LOT of gaps in the 'formula' and the skill of manual numbers members is (kinda yeah offense) low at eyeing what CSGO Skill, awareness and sense of game is. There ARE missed players and sometimes players are so valuable and underMMRrated i cant say anything on a Ban or Limit immediatly without seeing more context. Stats on if there were more than 2x promotions per team something like that to see if the problem is rampant enough to warrent a change. There comes the time where some people really need the ego breaking check that its time to accept the scale of MMR has outpaced the growth of you as a player. season 8 to 9 there was a BIG MMR curve/jump/power crepe however you want to phrase it, but this jump had a lot of Season 7 chally players set below challenger and it was aparent that there was a LOT of promotions for the sake of staying in the green tier. Last season with the new tier i think a similar power creep adjustment has occurred BUTTTTT faceit ESEA being so much more easier to join IM there will be a mass loss in players without drastic Premier tier changes,,,,, so its gonna be the opposite of a power creep?? an MMR inflation??? like super reverse crash where all of top of elite last season have to fill the Premier top dog spots and everything gets squished upwards idk. Like you said it is on the numbers committee to place them, they should land right or that system needs to be looked at. Numbers is a lot and very wonky so i say no to a limit for now but am hungry to see more data on if over-promotions saturate team counts. It really questions the core of the leagues "skill evaulation" if there is SO many players misPlaced that a promo limit is necessary, or does the player want/need a promo because its an ego thing?? (for me yeah it is lol i know where i really Rank) hehe good questions @UPS | TNoodle 🏆🏅🏅
