Lol . In all seriousness , fuck this shitbag society . <| sep |> 13 Hours , most of which were my daughter naming things . I was done at 1 hour personally I only continued for my daughter to name stuff so that was a couple of 2 hour sessions . spent a couple hours fiddling trying to get mods working and such but not the least bit guilty about it . When a Thief runs off with 60 mil it isn ' t a crime , when a consumer gets scammed and asks for their money back they become a thief ? <| sep |> You must be the only person who thought of giving NMS an ironic award . Better not check the front page , just go straight to posting . <| sep |> Update 847 am PST A Riot NA LCS spokesperson has responded with the following statement We ' ve been fully committed to talks with the NA LCS owners regarding their participation in the 2017 season as such , there was no discussion of the process of selling slots should teams not wish to participate or of contravening our rules to allow the poaching of players currently under contract . This alone is enough to make me second guess the article . Even if you take the belief that Riot ' s lying through their teeth , this is an incredibly EASY thing to snap at and say that Riot ' s lying . More importantly , you also have to account for the fact that the teams are quite unified . Even if Riot threatened , they could most definitely leave the LCS as a whole . ESPECIALLY if Riot is going that far . Secondly , if such a thing was true , this would be huge community leverage for the team owners . And someone , be it an owner or someone in Riot , is willing to leak things in the past . So I ' m extremely skeptical of the whole thing . We ' re asked to take this article at face value and make a judgement call on both Riot and the LCS when the most we have is a hesaidshesaid rumor . Not to mention Riot ' s rapid response to this , especially when their usual course of action is to avoid controversy or just not address it all that quickly . Perhaps it is true but , no matter what , I ' m extremely skeptical of this rumor . EDIT Update from the ArticleUpdate 1117 am PST Another source has come forward claiming that Echo Fox has already attempted to poach at least one player contracted to another team . This poaching attempt was apparently done with Riot ' s encouragement . This player ' s team has in turn gone to Riot and asked them to enforce LCS ' poaching rules . We have contacted Riot further for more clarification on the matter . This is a huge allegation . Not just to Riot but to Echo Fox as well . However , with sources rightfully being hidden and the sum of this being a game of whose telling the truth , we ' re rapidly approaching a point where someone is going to play hard ball . This doesn ' t even just concern Riot anymore either If these allegations are being levied at Echo Fox , they could have a tough time and it becomes even worse for EF looking at other esports . Conversely , if this is a lie on the source ' s side , this means that someone was willing to throw Echo Fox under the bus because they didn ' t sign the agreement . That bodes poorly for the unity of investorsowners as a whole . Especially if you ' re a prospective owner looking in Either play ball with the gentleman ' s club or risk being thrown under the bus . No matter what , it ' s a shitty situation Either Riot is lying and they ' re in line with Echo Fox or the source is lying and Echo Fox is the team that gets pissed on because they didn ' t play ball .
