Fuck off with the “PLEASE WHITELIST US!!!!” bullshit. We’ve been through this a hundred times; stop interjecting 30 fucking ads when I’m trying to read a damn article, and I’ll unblock you.

It’s not.

why would it be on the business? why don’t the folks in the community complain to police, and community leaders about the high crime.

There are a couple of local neighborhoods near where I live where delivery calls are made specifically to rob pizza delivery, usually to an apartment building. Recently one delivery guy was held at gunpoint and ended up with him killing one of the robbers after they shot at him. The driver quit.

By all accounts she wasn't good at her job, didn't get along with people, didn't take the good advice she was given. She filed the lawsuit the same month her husband declared bankruptcy, and he's subsequently been accused of fraud. I think the jury got this one right.

Umm it proves his propensity for violence. Any thug willing to rob someone with a gun is willing to combat a police officer.

Right. IM the racist. OK PAL!

You missed the story. No one asks any player to appear in person, but she is a top ranked competitive player, and is completely unable to appear in person. In HS in online tournaments, anyone can log in and play for you, and there is evidence she was doing this. Plus, she got work as a consultant based on her top…

She's not merely trying to be a Hearthstone player. A lot of completely anonymous people reach high ranks every season and don't stream or sign with pro teams or solicit donations.

I don't think you get it. There are a couple of thousand players each month who hit legendary rank in Hearthstone. Most of them don't stream or attend tournaments. But they also don't join these pro teams and attempt to become part of this high-profile, moneymaking scene without streaming their play and playing in…

Why is that insane. People who join these sponsored teams and try to gain prominence in the community all attend tournaments and stream online all the time. Someone trying to join one of these teams and write articles and become prominent without ever playing live or streaming is really strange.

Look, there are assholes on Twitter and asshole YouTube commenters. Some people in the world have mild autism or personality disorders, or they are simply poorly socialized. A lot of those people play video games. If you interact with people online — for gaming or dating or political discussion or business…

A female professional gamer will earn more than a male professional gamer who plays at the same skill level, and male streamers tend to get fewer donations and gifts than female streamers, so there isn't much incentive for a female gamer to pretend to be a man.

Nobody is arguing that no girl could be good at games. There are women who compete at pro levels in Starcraft and League of Legends, and there are female gamers who play seriously, but are not at professional levels who have very popular streams.

It is absolutely suspicious that a person as ostensibly prominent in Hearthstone as MagicAmy has not appeared to compete at an in-person tournament. People will pay for her trips, and the appearances and prizes are potentially lucrative. The only reason she wouldn't have done this is that she doesn't want to play…

Guys who play on the same level are a lot less prominent than MagicAmy. There were male players on "Team MagicAmy" who were consistently ranked higher than MagicAmy. If William Blaney accomplished the same things in the game under his own name, he would be far less prominent, and his play would be far less lucrative.

All, she had to do to disprove these rumors was show up at an in-person event and play Hearthstone, and, instead, she quit Tempostorm and left the Hearthstone community. I think that lends a lot of credibility to the argument that she wasn't really the one playing the account.

Cue the race-baiting, preemptive attacks on anybody who might critique the article's premise.

How is this not just re-skinned Civ V? I'm having such a difficult time seeing how this is not the game I'm already playing.

You mean her disgusting behavior? She's the one that threw a sucker punch.
