When the ranked lobbies combined

deletedover 10 years

I don't think it was a popular decision amonst training lobby players. From what I remember from being active around that time, I simply remember comp lobbyist crying on the walls about inactivity in Comp games and begging for Trainers to leave T-Lobby and stop playing 'newb' setups.

Instead of thinking of them like this, think of of them as the setups that people liked because they were fun, and you could play them and have said fun and not have to worry. Still took a little bit of trying in order to win these 'newb' setups. Also you have to realize that most people didn't actually consider their score/trophies to be a representation of their manhood like Comp players seem to do. Most of us played for fun and the accumalative 'total points' was just numbers you earned after a game. Sure it's fun to have a high score, but as the kind of intermediate lobby, I could simply see that most people enjoyed the games themselves and not the outcome of said games, which we DO NOT HAVE ANYMORE.

The only people at the time who complained about anything on the site were Comp players who were mad that nobody in Training wanted to step up to play Comp...

Real quote from Comp Player I swear: NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE IN COMP LETS MERGE LOBBIES SO WE CAN HAVE MORE PEOPLE RUN.

Real quote from same Comp Player, I swear: OH HES THROWING AGAINST ME. INCOMING GAMETHROW. WHY ARE THESE GOD DAMN NOOBS PLAYING COMP. OBVIOUS GT ALT. HES PLAYING WITH SOMEONE ALOT CHEATER CHEATER. OBVIOUS GY VISION.

And now you'd have to be daft to see why nobody in T-Lobby really ever cared for it... the culture you guys have in Competition is absolutely awful.

Nobody wins a trophy without playing lots of games with the same person. I'd like to see the last person to win a trophy while just joining games randomly and trying to win against the people in the game, rather than win with their friends or whoever their Em love is etc.

There is an obvious gap between players who want to play red heart games and setups that are now protected and locked down and blacklisted by people trying to protect the meaning of what internet pixel points really mean...

Somebody else getting points for playing Reverse shouldn't effect your life or your EM life. For example.

Sandbox and Training were the two most popular lobbies for a reason, people. Can you just stop turning a blind eye towards it now?

TL; DR

UNDO THE MERGER AND REAP THE REWARDS OF A BETTER ALL AROUND COMMUNITY.

As long as the tryhard, prima donna players, [mostly old comp players] that take the game way too seriously stay out of my games I don't really care about the merge.

Reminder that there's literally people who miss the days of Reverse Mafia, when they would sit at their computers eyes glazed over for hours and hours and hours on end mindlessly clicking through games so that they could watch their meaningless point counter go up

Back in MY day, a long time ago, before the stupid frickin lobby merge, I could speed-game and pointfarm all of my red hearts in less than an hour's time without being yelled at ONCE in a game...

Unblacklist Reverse Mafia.

I don't understand what negative things the merge did. You can still play your red hearts and now you even have all the roles.

The blacklisted setups like reverse weren't blacklisted due to the merge if that's what you thought.

Not everyone plays the games with the same people in comp (I've won trophies and I don't) but yeah there's some that do. Does it really affect you though? Just play ranked games.

Unless you're complaining about there being a few comp players playing stuff like fancy pants then there really isn't any problem.

Wow not only does Audacity still exist but he is even worse than ever before

Before the merge, training lobby was just classic mafia and fancy pants. Now, it's classic mafia, fancy pants, and sometimes a gold heart game every few pages.

i think the complaint is people cant point farm the best reverse mafia setup etc anymore

ITT Audacity thinks that ONLY migrated competitive lobby players are malicious tryhards in red heart games, and that the training lobby was a sacred, respectable place before the merge.

i don't get why you cant just go back to playing the same red heart setups that you used to. nothing really changed, and very few comp players play red heart setups like fancy pants

Did you forget to mention that there were some random refunded games?

Nobody wins a trophy without playing lots of games with the same person. I'd like to see the last person to win a trophy while just joining games randomly and trying to win against the people in the game, rather than win with their friends or whoever their Em love is etc.

I won a trophy just joining random games and never dodged anyone last round, hope this helps.

Lots of problems in the real world too started long ago too and people rally for change on lots of these issues all the time. I don't see this as any different. Why mindlessly adjust/adhere to a broken system when it can be easily fixed with some discussion. If it doesn't work out I'm certainly not going to cry, but as someone whose been on EM since 2009; I have actually seen what the site used to look like versus what the site looks like nowadays, Ariel, and you happened to join right before the cusp of all this crud, so I know it's hard for you to actually see said problems because of this, but they're apparent. Split lobbies were fine and only got changed because the minority opinion for changing them was thrown in peoples faces.
