vVv LordJerith 739 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 Application reopened at the request of vVv Solid. I'll be checking into the reasoning for his request. Personally... I feel that there should be a new application. I believe this is for the combine in Chicago, but I will need to meet with the team first. A re-app is not needed.

dmbrandon 1 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 Personally, I don't see this team being a great fit. The team is missing two people from their original app, because they claim they don't have access to computers. We're an online community, and that's a big hindrance imo. If they can get past that, I think I'd be okay with it. Not that my opinion means much, just saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they just pay for internet, but I don't see how this is possible. Does another team member access there MLG Accounts to add them to the pass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fugo 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) Watch got let go from his job, we don't "not have computers." At the moment Watch is very low on cash at the moment and has moved back in with his parents. He didn't have a computer at his past apartment but he has one now at his parents house. I don't understand why it would be such a big deal if one member doesn't get on the computer often seeing as the rest of us are on the computer VERY often. Our team has not had a problem like this ever, Watch getting let go from his job was completely unexpected and unfortunate. The original post was with me, Watch Swift, and InSaiyan. The only thing that has changed from that is that we picked up the Doritos Combine FFA Champ: Adrenaline. I don't see how that would make us a worse option, especially since InSaiyan didn't even post his resume in the thread. I'm just explaining so you guys understand where we are coming from, not trying to start an argument. Edited May 10, 2010 by Fugo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmbrandon 1 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 I'm just going off of what I've been told. I never once confirmed it as fact. As for importance, we're an online community. If a vVv member cannot be online, then it defeats the purpose. Again, just my take on things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vVv LordJerith 739 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 I think the real issue here is two fold: 1) A loss of a job usually makes travel and competing very difficult 2) Each players needs to add value. This is something about the way we work that has served us very well. it might be best for us to set up a meeting and talk with your team. As you know, with us picking up Active tush, we are open to an Amateur team, but having a member who just loss his job and is low on cash, as unfortunate as it is, it does make me very comfortable moving forward. Finally, I noticed that Fugo and Watch have the same IP address. What that means is that you had to fill out the app for him. I understand the circumstances around which you had to do it, but teh fundmaental question remains how do we receive value from a team that has a memebr who can not afford to travel, and has limited access to a PC ( so limited someone else had to create his app). I also am not trying to start an argument, i am just asking the tough questions so i understand the situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watch did lose his job, but he now has a new one (a better paying one) and will be able to attend every tournament. I understand that this exact moment is not a great time to be applying because of what Ryan has been going through, but he is back on his feet. The meeting sounds good, just let me know.
