You all know that Richie and Jordan do not post here so why is anyone asking questions here. It was clear whining about it. If you have real issue or need real clarification, pm me and I will get it sorted out with the only people who can clarify it.
I am so sick of all this crying about the rules and the changes and the this and that not being clear or fair or whatever. We are all lucky to have these guys willing to invest 10s of thousands of dollars for us gamers.
Again. Real issues to my pm box. All else is pointless complaining as no ear that matters will hear it.
Ken, you're a TG ref. You've heard the issues/concerns/confusions. The natural (and kind) thing would be for you to be an intermediary for those that either 1) don't know Richie and Jourdan
at all, or 2) do know Richie and Jourdan, but don't have as close of a relationship with him as you do. I know you've said that people can PM you, but realize that people may just be posting so that other people (who aren't you, and who aren't TG refs) may be able to clarify things for them if their confusion really does just end with their own reading of things -a sounding board of sorts. Additionally, in the past, you have offered to get clarification from TG for people without requiring them to PM you about it, so the change in status quo might be unexpected. Also, maybe people post so that people like George or others (who aren't TG refs but also would be able to help get more needed info) might be able to help out due to their close relationships to the KO planners (assuming they find the concerns to be valid, of course).
Sure, I could call Richie (since I have his number), but I don't know him like you do, nor do I have the platform with him that you do. I don't want to come across as wasting his time or seem intrusive. It's a lot easier for a close friend to ask an honest question than it is for a relative stranger.
Lastly, I don't think anyone on DKF is gonna go to the KO3 and
not thank Richie/Jourdan/1up for all their hard work putting it on. I barely knew Richie and Jourdan at all last year, and I was thanking them at KO2
a ton. In the end, the fact that people have concerns is not bad -in fact, it is probably in TG's best interest if they
are actually clear on the KO3's schedule, as it probably factors into the popularity of the event. If they don't have all the issues ironed out yet, fair enough, people shouldn't pester. But if they are seriously trying to relay a specific schedule and there seems to be confusion, that seems like a legitimate situation to ask for clarification.
