So about that MLG thing

I'll be sitting down with our MLG contact asap and make sure the rules reflect the ideas the community has formed over the past 2 years.

Perhaps take a representative of the H. League organization with you? Put aside they've worked out our current rule set, they're probably also the first to receive rule/organization related feedback from our competitive scene. Point is: I do believe our current League-orga-team has got a better insight on what the competitive community wants and needs than you, the developers, do.

While I echo the sentiment that some of the current competitive organizers should be able to give valuable input to what rules should be in place, I would say that that the dev team is involved enough in the scene that they have a decent idea of what's good and what's not.
It's amusing though. Much hype for MLG involvement, then sudden trepidation as to what it'll actually mean :D

I was amused as well. :D
For some reason I didn't really consider it and just imagined hardcore pros showing up in droves because of reasons. Also, massive tournaments with prizes like you see for the big name games.
Realistically, I'm cautiously optimistic that this will bring new serious players into the game and be a boon to the community and competitive scene. I'm also hopeful that it will somehow mesh with and evolve the current competitive scene rather than replacing it, though mostly only for selfish reasons.
I look forward to hearing more. Change is scary, but not always bad. I think as soon as we see a bit more communication and explanation things will start to clear up for the better.
Sammy B. T.:
Yeah, I feel like a cranky old man afraid of change. However, this just feels weird. Some dude with no idea how the game works and no connection to our community is just expecting us all to go to him and do his thing? Look, I am by no means a professional gamer, tournament organizer, or whatever. However, I feel he's kind of jumped ahead of himself and is ignoring the actual community.
As I said, cranky old man afraid of change, but this whole thing just feels awkward.

Ah well, for now I refuse to believe that someone whose game experience is limited to two matches insists on dictating and sticking to a rule set he made up in a couple of minutes. I rather think this Ron guy just leaped ahead to get things started. Lets see if we are able to work out a rule set which fits both, the needs of our community and the standards of the MLG community.

For me it's rather the other way around. Probably mostly because I've never heard about MLG before people stumbled into the forum, shout casting it was the next big thing that's about to happen to the GoIO community. After looking into it, I do see some potential of possibly enriching our community here by drawing the attention of competitive players who wouldn't stumble upon GoI otherwise. Anyway I definitely don't want to see this MLG-thing to be made happen at all costs. MLG needs to fit into our existing (and I'd like to add very vital) competitive community more than the other way around.
Alistair MacBain:
There is not much you can say about the current rulesset.
Its generic stuff that isnt compared to the game at all. A standard ruleset usable for nearly every other game.
I really hope that Muse and MLG make this thing better and i also hope that they talk with the competetive guns of icarus scene to work things out.
I am not selfish enough to say that the HC Admins are the only ones needed to talk to. I hope they will talk with us but i also hope they will talk to the administration of the SCS and other competetive players.
