Other Metagame of the Month Archive

Ok so despite being the first person to vote for FU, I'm actually going to change my vote to Linked because I believe it would be better for FU as a metagame to be OMOTM next month as opposed to this month, because of the fact that the tier leader will be gone for most of the month, and because the ladder being up the month after PUPL would be better for its popularity imo.

However, I'm kind of repelled by the reaction of the non-FU players to the fact that FU is getting votes. FU players simply want their metagame to have a ladder like players of every other OM in the running do; they do not mean to spite people who want different metagames to have a ladder. The fact that people are attacking FU (in all likelyhood without actually playing it) is kind of unsettling, especially when people who vote for FU have said nothing to the same effect about any metagame in their votes. If you're part of the OM community and you're attacking perfectly legitimate OMs without any provocation, you're really putting the community you're trying to defend and represent in a very bad light.

Also, saying that "FU is just another PU" is ridiculous, that's like saying RU and NU shouldn't exist because "they're just more UU's"; if you've played both FU and PU you'd know that they're completely different metagames.

Sorry if this post was out of line or anything, but I really think this needed to be said.

People aren't bashing FU, they just don't think it belongs in oms or omotm for whatever reasons they may have (I agree with them) Also they're frustration is understandable due to the large number of people support FU but aren't active om members, considering that omotm is a time for creating new challenge options or ladders, which everyone thinks is great. But omotm is also something that allows other people to get involved with oms, and for that reason I am ashamed of the response of the other members of the om community's response.

I mean magnemite as well as me and a lot of other people supporting FU also play the MOST SUCCESSFUL OM called PU so its not like we are completely outside of this. Feel free to delete this post if deemed inappropriate ur useless or something but had to get this point across :/
 
Success in terms of a subforum? That's because PU is a semi-standard tier and the leadership teams were able to secure a subforum for THAT reason. Userbase wise, I'm pretty sure historically 1v1 and Monotype get the same or more plays than even some of the official tiers, LC, and DOU (which also started as an OM.)

Anyway, let's just focus on voting. I've already asked people not to post extraneous text besides their vote. If your gripe is with FU because it's just another PU or whatever, remember, Other Metagames are any metagames not accepted as official or CAP. For better or for worse, we're all in the same boat together. And if you're a traditionalist, vote for Linked or another metagame. But please don't start pitting yourselves against each other.

The real om community is tired of these usage tier OMs.

The ladder is available to more than just the "real OM community", the ladder is for anyone that plays on PS! and not just the "real" OM community. So your complaints that people from outside the OM community have a say in the omotm is pretty dumb. Sure I don't play oms but last time I voted for FU I sure as hell played it. Having people from outside oms excited about omotm gives you a chance to introduce them to other oms, don't waste it by being a self righteous twat and saying that only the "real OM community" (which you've conveniently defined as people who agree with your vote) should get a say. It's pretty pathetic, even for 13 year olds.
 
You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Alright, I apologise in advanced, I know that most of my OM posts are not of standard, and are more or less shitposts. It may not seem like I take OMOTM seriously (I don't take my vote seriously) but I really do. I was actually interested in linked. I usually never play mons, and I was generally interested in this metagame. But after seeing some of the shit that has happened, I will not vote for this metagame. I have reasoning to my hypocrisy.

Maybe next month when this has died, but if the OMOTM is linked, then that will practically just let some of the shit go unheard. If you genuinely like a metagame, be an advocate for why it is good. Don't go to dirty politicss and attack the other meta, let alone the other people. How the fuck can you look at me, and say that you want to take someone's life just because they like a different metagame then you? You may say "I just said those words, I didn't mean them." If you either want to say that to me, or was thinking that while reading the previous sentence, it's difficult to know someone's intentions over text.

I was going to say this is almost the same reason that CH was deleted from ladder, but then I realized, it's not almost, it fucking is the same exact reason why CH was deleted. It was deleted because users who advocated for the ladder attacked BH and made a politicalstatement off of CH. The Dirty Politics metaphor can pretty much relate to my whole essay basically. It wasn't that people didn't like CH itself, it was because of the people of CH. If you want proof, I can pull up that stupid petition that someone here made to bring back CH. Not all of the people who made/signed that petition are involved here, but a hefty some most likely are.

The last thing I really wanted to address, if you really did make it this far into my rant, is that stupid fucking movement of "Real Other Metagame Community" or some shit, how ever the fuck you put it. Are you guys seriously that daft that from one minute you can be complaining in chat about how nobody is on your ladder, and then the next, complain when people are voting for an OMOTM that you don't agree with? Sure, maybe some will only be here to vote FU, but let's making a scenario here. We have users here who vote for FU, and then think spontaneously, "Hey the people in the OM are nice and welcoming, maybe I should check them out." That guy then gets involved in the community, and possibly bring his friends. This man/woman gets involved with our community, and is truly apart of this community from here on. There ya go. Will this thing happen? Probably, probably not. Probably won't happen at all because of how some of you treated these people. Not all, some. But thos some caused enough damage to make the whole community look white-washed. You guys sound like fucking aryans, it's that bad.

Now, I want to apologise to two different communities.
  • To the PU/FU community, I apologise for the way some of you have been treated. This was not right, it's not who we are. I spoke to quite a few of you when you guys signed up for MPL, and many, if not all seemed like genuine people.
  • To those in the OM community. I'm sorry for in this post grouping everyone of you together in some instances. I tried to remove all instances of me doing this out, some may have stayed in, but I won't go editing my entire post to make my point seem better. But I thank those who genuinely try to include other communities into the OMs, or at least are inclusive for others. Your one action actually means a lot.
Now, so this total post is not a waste. I want to vote for Mix and Mega. I Was told by Deathly this tier was in third, I believe it is fitting. I am not voting for Linked, reasoning was prior. Yet I am not voting for FU, at least this month., I won't be hypocritical now. I don't want to give FU leverage. I want it to win, yet it is not in my place to vote for it just to spite those in Linked. Thank you, and have a nice day
