She doesn't need to relax. She is just reserved and with all the forum hate she is getting I don't blamer her. She is also Asian obviously and unlike us boisterous Americans and Europeans, Asians tend to be reserved in public and with people they don't know so well, value politeness over being unruly. It is a cultural thing, get over it.
She did fine as a commentator better than must of you forum jockeys could ever do. Even better than some other unsaid commentator that seems to have memory problems, not being able to remember something that happened five minutes ago. Maybe he should take some ginseng?
Most of you guys are nitpicking on her because it seems to be the in forum thing to do, or giving her a hard time for being a girl.
Get over it already, she is there and is a commentator and you are not.
Makes her cooler than you.

She says a lot of stupid things and isn't informative or funny.
Also, cut the "Ohh she's a girl, ohh she's Asian" crap. I don't really care what gender she is or where she comes from, I think her commentating is horrible, why are you being so presumptuous to presume that it's to do with prejudice? The "Ohh you couldn't do better so you're not allowed to criticize" arguement is a load of bull too. Film critics don't need to make good films to criticize films, food critics don't need to be able to cook food well to criticize food, I don't need to be a good commentator to criticize commentators.
It's a waste of a commentator slot that could be used for somebody that actually knows something about the game, can be informative, professional and funny. Like Darius JOHNSON.

I remember a post on some forum by her that went along the lines of:
"Hah, they think im going because im a "PvP Expert", are you kidding? Im going for a free trip to Iceland."
1.) Making massive generalizing statements about "Asians" is impossible and completely wrong. I've met many different people from eastern countries with personalities all over the spectrum.
2.) She pointed out obvious things, didn't do much else. and obviously dosen't PvP actively if at all on TQ.
3.) I seriously doubt she reads the forums, or much less cares.
4.) "Giving her a hard time because she is a girl." Right, we're all sexists and love to insult women for just being women here on the EvE Forums.
5.) You're obviously either kissing up, mad, or stupid. Maybe all 3.

There is nothing bad about pointing out what for you would be obvious, there r probably several hundred watchers maybe even thousands that don't know every obvious things as you do.. I've heard several questions raised by the commentators and CCP soundwave from players that have sent in queries, about pretty obvious things. It just shows that not everybody knows everything, and im sure alot of watchers r happy with getting things explained.
And she does PvP - probarly more than you

You also would if he was naked.
Conclusion: all tournament commentators should be naked.

More than half of the kills on the first page are pods. I've looked through 5 pages looking for ship kills with under 10 people on then, found a Condor(7), hound(8), coercer(8), Rifter(5), Incursus(7), Nemesis(5), Rifter(9). That's 7 out of 50 kills that I checked that had under 10 people, all of them were frigate of destroyer hulls. so as far as I'm aware has no credible kills to her name. Yeah. real expert.

Hurr durr cause im not a forum alt or anything.
All of her kills are either pods or noob-fit frigates and destroyers, real expert.
Debunk all my (and everyone else's) other points and you get a cookie. Isn't gonna matter to me anyways, she's still going to be annoying unless I hit mute.

And I find at least one or two of them pretty annoying and not funny at all.
Did they get such hate? No.
I think lots of people are big morons and totally unfair towards Brianna. |

Not as much as Brianna. Even Darius was far better this year compared to her.

I forgot you were the PVP expert with your Reaper kills and that 13-involved party to kill a pod ;)
Keep it up, son, maybe one day your corp will be a top 2000 PVP corp.

I don't think she was a very good commentator and that's why she got the initial crap. I think the massive forum drama over it is entirely due to her gender and is pretty sad. This is why more women don't play EVE.

She was too withdrawn and didn't really offer her opinions as much as she was put on the spot. I think the massive forum drama over it is entirely due to her cute face and is generally expected with this community. This is why more people don't play EVE.
Hey I saw that you missed something. I agree with the rest though. She was doing the same thing most of us would do, just happy to be in the room...in another country...during an important community event...geekin out.

Brianna, if you are reading this: please accept this apology. Since it seems every forum troll thinks you need to crap Eve gold in the form of pure wisdom that can be bottled into the newest Quaf.
You were good, entertaining, and not boring. Hell sometimes the general discussions just went on too long. Esepcialyl before the final match.

Personally I think Brianna was nervous cuz she wasn't prepared for days of uber geeky spacewar talk.
She has to learn from this experience and will commentate better next year (if she comes back).
btw, what's up with the other 76 applications? none of them were prepared or what?

Posting alt, real brave. There's nothing to be scared of, nobody will try kill you for upsetting them.
Anyway.
Sorry, but could you help me here? I can't find where I claimed to be good at PvP. I've already explained in an earlier post that I don't need to be a commentator to criticize commentating, so I thought it would be pretty obvious that I don't need to be good at PvP to criticize somebody else at PvP. So I hope I am actually missing where I claimed to be good and you aren't waiting my time.
Say I DID claim that I was good at PvP though, and those carefully picked killmails you linked to try make me look as terrible as possible were an accurate representation of my usual kills (which are noob ratters in belts, yes, I'm terrible, deal with it) then so what? I'm not the one here that applied as a PvP expert for the Alliance tournament.
Mrs Squid Tentacles on the other hand did, and she got accepted, spouted useless crap and appeared to be absolutely clueless with no proof to back up that she had any idea what about PvP in the first place in any form over "Warp in gang, lock what I say, shoot it" This is not enjoyable to listen to and it seems like a lot of other people agree. Lots of controversy on the forums, and nearly all my friends (all 4 of them, wow, I'm so popular, right?) muted the tourney for the first time. This is not what the commentators are meant to do. So here I am, whining on the forums as if anybody gives a damn.
P.S. I like your face. |
