Australian Kong Off 3
John73:
Unfortunately for several reasons, this will probably go down as the low lights of Aussie Kong Off's.
Disappointing aspects for me personally:
1. Some players *cough* Billy *cough* ignored the rules and sat on a machine after a start without letting others get on to try to qualify. This isn't a USA Kong Off, you don't get a dedicated machine - you get a L5 start and bomb out, you get off the machine and let someone else play. Ref's either didn't know, or didn't enforce the rules, or were probably too keen to suck Billy to tell him that he wasn't above the rules of the competition
2. Was streamed on Billy's channel and left for others to host it - wtf was that all about? Guessing it was a "demand" of Billy's - he needed more than a free trip to Australia - he needed a twitch stream which had banned so many people who called him out rightfully as a liar and a cheat.
3. Billy complaining about "hostility" in the crowd - there wasn't any - he is a cheat, we know he is a cheat, but no one was hostile towards him.
4. Billy crying in the final match about having to play on a machine he hadn't played on all weekend - thankfully they didn't move around machines just to suit this twat.
If Kong Off's are to move forward, they need to get rid of this muppet once and for all - he is a cheat, couldn't give 2 shits what he did for the community - the end does not, and will never justify the means.
GILLYKONG:
Couldn't agree more!!!

5. Going by the bracket as it was shown in the Twitch channel, they used a non-standard seeding arrangement until they realized it was going to negatively affect Billy. Then, and only then, did they rearrange it.
NWnike:
How the hell do you get away with rearranging the bracket after head to head matches have been played? I have never seen anything like that in my life. I don't know who's decision that was ultimately but that is shameful
Congrats to Barra and Allen. I know they didn't have the games they were hoping for but they still did an awesome job for the weekend.

I don't get what you guys are bitching about. Richie and so many others work hard to put this event together. Walter and Billy were brought out because they have name recognition, they know how to present themselves, and despite the whole controversy they were major stars in an indie film which still makes them marketable. Their names are linked to Donkey Kong, and if it weren't for them, Donkey Kong wouldn't have been as competitive as it has been for all these years.
I get why you guys wanted to destroy Billy's reputation and credibility, but what I don't get is why you guys bitch about it when I don't see any of you guys doing the hard work to put together your own events. You guys won for fucks sake! What more do you want? For the Kong Off's to stop? You guys know damn well Richie is good buddies with Walter and Billy, so of course he is going to include them, of course he is going to tap into Billy to help draw attention to it. If that bothers you, then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! It seems like you guys just want this entire community to just die off. But if removing Billy is your goal I can't see why you guys can't create your own events. Promote them, and slap some sort of celebrity into the mix. What's the point of this forum if you guys can't even unite to do something positive, it seems you can only unite when it comes to destroying people, and before you get into the semantics of that, you guys did destroy Billy's reputation - whether that is good or bad is up to interpretation. Outside of that, if you aren't going to do anything about it, then shut up about it.
