I was just speaking about Paula's behaviour in general. I don't know the exact reasons behind this issue, but i'm just giving my general opinion of why it's most likely been the case. It is bad conduct and probably doesn't help his situation.



I am super honest about these things. I have nothing to lie about. Paula didn't really follow the rules at all on multiple occasions. I'm glad I didn't have to put him during NA games but it sounded like a real nightmare. You've got other top players completely frustrated because of his actions and the casters too.

ESL staff were the ones who were not keen on bans etc in general and a lot of issues did just get resolved and pushed on. I have to hand it to ESL staff how professionally they dealt with those issues as literally nobody in the community noticed at the time. But he was quite out of order to some players, Momo4sho was one of those.




There is a valid explanation for this. 8 players from NA and 8 players from EU were picked. DevM, Aimstrong and Cruzzi are all EU and were placed based against other EU players. You can't take out NA players and replace them with EU players cause that's not how the system worked.

You have to treat the selection of NA invites and EU invites as independent.

Hasn't Paula been done for smurfing multiple accounts before? Pretty sure the same problem was brought to attention on this forum too many times. Not only that, he acted disgracefully during ESL. Deliberately making opponents wait and breaking time rules. The amount of complaints against him from players and moderators during ESL... my word. I had access to that discussion group and it was not pretty lol. Not everyone will know that kind of thing that ESL moderators have to put up with the same way that you wouldn't have known that Jesulin was nearly disciplined in the same way for that kind of behaviour too. Why would they need to tell you?

But of course yeah, you should be able to blow like 50 chances with Relic and still get free invites just because you play the game quite well.

To clarify:

1)I'm not complaining about smurfing. I am stating that Kyle's response was a direct response to Paula's question regarding his entry of a smurf account into the tournament. As I said before, Paula was probably joking but Kyle's response seemingly incited you for some reason. Paula brought the whole smurfing thing into the conversation.

Regarding my addressing Paulas smurfs outside of the conversation about his entry into the tournament, I brought it up as a piece of evidence as to his character. I could care less if Paula smurfs, I'm sure I've played plenty of smurfs in all different game modes. What I think is weak and shameful is that fact that Paula:

a) hides behind his smurfs/claim that they do not exist despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary
b) uses his smurfs as an excuse to BM/spew toxicity at other community members while denying it/playing innocent
c) rampantly exploits on his smurfs to the point of being banned, and denies it

To be clear - I couldn't care less that he smurfs, but I do have a problem with him being extraordinarily dishonest about it AND using it as a platform for toxic behavior. It just makes him look completely two faced. At least Barton/Price are man enough to own up to their behavior and take the consequences (multiple bans) that come with it.

2) I've worked closely with Relic in the past, but haven't done so in many months because I have not been actively playing or actively involved in the community and they have not asked for my involvement in anything. I never denied working with them on stuff, I was simply pointing out that I have never claimed to be a spokesperson for them or in any way officially associated with them. I was just refuting you implying that I was some sort of representative from Relic - I'm not, but you already know that.

3) Paula was/is not only racist towards Momo. He's racist towards entire subsections of the CoH2 community. But again, he does not openly admit/act this way. He saves it for Chinese sites/smurfs. Do the research if you don't believe me or if you're so inclined. Sharpen up that Google-fu.

4) I was saying Relic was in a loose-loose because more than 16 players deserve invites. By limiting invites to 16 players (instead of having no invites or a larger invite pool) some one is going to get the short end of the stick. As I said before, I can easily name more than 16 players that deserve invites (Aimstrong, DevM, Omgpop, Cruzz, VonIvan, Shadowwada, Momo, Dusty, Talisman, HelpingHans, Jove, Noggano, Luvnest, Barton, Price, Paula, Jesulin, VonAsten, SpaceHamster... probably forgot some but that's just off the top of my head). More players deserving invites than total invite slots = some one doesn't get invited that deserves it. You're just SJWing for Paula because... Reasons? Why is no one upset that Aimstrong isn't even on the wait list? Surely he's more deserving than half the 16 invitees and people (including Paula) that didn't get invited.

To be clear - with only 16 invite slots, some one will be mad about the chosen 16 players.

@ Gdot and Budwise: I understand where you are coming from, but surely it depends on whether they have ever caught Sprice at bug abuse?

Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2016, 19:46 PMBudwise

I've personally submitted screenshots, videos, chat logs of admittance, the works to Relic regarding SPrice and his bug abuse. Hell he used the OnMe bug vs me and Marinez after we pushed him into his base in a 2v2 and there was nothing we could do about it except leave and shake our heads. He's streamed it, flaunted it, had replays posted reporting him about it, probably moreso than any other member of the community. And this is much more than the OnMe bug, this also includes probably every Sherman MG Cannon bug in history and the Super Command Tank ala Bren Carrier bug as well.

To ban Paul and not him is a disgrace to not just Paul but to Relic and the community. They either need to drop the BS and let Paul play or also remove Price. Anything else is a personal agenda.
