BuzzerBeater Forums

anyway, gm people are so much corporatist and if u say something to one of them, they come in army to say he has reason

Why is this wrong; GMs represent BB on user level, and I'm not sure that people would like to see GMs quarelling on public forums, in that way they would lose "credibility", they have their own forum for contemplation, and I'm quite sure that every situation which is not clear from first glance is checked through several other GM's opinions.

I agree, that someone must know the code and how everything works. It might not be BB-Marin. I think atleast one current BB knows the code. I'd prefer, that there were atleast two developers, who know the code and interactions inside out.

Coco's analogy is not bad imho, but I have to agree with Wolph.. AT LEAST 1 BB has to know how the engine works. Maybe it's not Marin, but someone else must be, I don't care who (it's not important). Recently have been introduced isolations and BaO tactics... who did it? The one who worked on it made it "blindly" without knowing the rest of the code or engine? Wow, that should explain why those tactics are such a crap... :D

Seriously, I think Marin knows I'm not attacking him, but the "no one knows the entire code" scares me, and it smells like a lie. If it's not a lie, I'm really worried about who makes modifications or solves bug...

i think what Wolph is trying to say is, that many comments on the forums are being made by BBs, that are not acceptable from a business to a customer point off view. I have been trying to get this across myself several times now and stopped, because it is a waist off energy.

I have worked in customer support for many years, and if I would say to a customer, I dont know how something works, you would be in big trouble. Cause you should say, i need to look into this and get back to you.

there is one other thing I agree with, with Wolph. And this is mostly ment for Marin. If you work in a certain business, and you have insider knowledge, you arent allowed to use it. A few examples.

+ if you have stocks in your own company, you arent allowed to trade them under suspicious circumstances

+ if you work in the betting industry, you cant gamble within your own company. do other companies find out you work in this industry and you play with them, you will be stopped

+ sporters arent allowed to bet on their own games

And I can give you many more examples.

There is a reason for all this. In the name off fairness, people that have an unfair advantage arent allowed to compete or participate.

I am aware BB is only a game, and I have no problem with this, because we have no BB in the english community, but I would be really peed off, if someone that is developing this game, would be competitive in my community and who would be beating me. I would always see it as them having an unfair advantage.

I dont care whether the BB staff run a competitve team or not, but from a business point off view (it is their business and they want to make money out off it), and to avoid this from every happening again, it would make sense BB staff have no (competitive) teams off their own. In the end, you wonder, what is more important, playing BB or earning money...
