So you may have noticed a particularly laboured and passive aggressive conversation, in which a member of munchy staff quite happily made bigoted accusations about me based on things she’d been told by blacklisted players.
The reason this conversation happened is because she was upset that I said she’d bought ranktop for irl cash.
So putting her collaboration with BLs and her bigotry aside for a second…
How does everyone else feel about that?
I hear the line “it’s her money, she can do what she wants with it!” mentioned in regards to this a lot. This is a statement of fact, not an argument. It does not mean anyone else has to like it. After all, if you spend your money on hard drugs, you’re an addict. if your money on a hitman, you’re a murderer. If you spend your money buying a leaderboard position on a videogame… you’re destroying any competitive value in playing that game.
It would seem she really dislikes being criticised, because not only she stoop to actions such as those mentioned above, she’ll have her twee survival friends flood the chat by mindlessly repeating the “argument” deconstructed above. None of those things are justified by the person spending their own money. It isn’t a justification. It’s a begging plea for you to stop talking about.
So let’s talk about it! Remember when Chance got way ahead of everyone else 'cos his team found a bunch of bugs and farmed a lot and had their drug selling business and engaged with the game because they were good at it?
Remember map 8 when Oryx mined wood every day to get ranktop? He deserved it cos he played played to win. It’s a shame he got sniped by Joe and Teeny… but they put a lot of effort in to raise the money to catch him. They also deserved it.
As for previous maps, well, I’d sound exceedingly self-absorbed if I were to go into too much detail about them considering… but let’s review.
Before I was ranktop, Caspar was, you might remember him as one of the most cracked players prison has ever seen leading one of the most influential gangs prison has ever had. There are none who could doubt that he deserved to be ranktop.
Later, Nuggetned rose the ranks to the point he could take ranktop… but he never went for it because he didn’t want to ruin the work I’d put in… but he bought hydra legs… he had the /bal for them, and if he had taken ranktop, as much as I’d have been disappointed, he would have deserved it.
In map 7, RPPR spent a fair bit of money. He also grinded like crazy, but he was able to catch up so fast and get the items he needed largely through the money he’d spent. This, of course, lead to a bit of tension between me and him. I was pretty standoffish to him, not gonna lie.
You know what he did? He didn’t go for ranktop, he offered to let me use his mythical pick (i said no because i’da hogged it all day, he’da never seen it again), even later in the map when they got elder wand and coulda got ranktop easily from how broken farming and fishing was, he and everyone else with the elder wand didn’t go for it.
Because he didn’t want to win off the back of p2w and he didn’t want to belittle the work others had put in to get there. In later maps, he never spent the way he did in map 7 again.
Enter Tart, oblivious to all of this that’s gone on previously, who shamelessly p2ws her way 7 prestiges ahead of the closest (unbanned) competition, and upon finding out that someone didn’t like that, she decided to go bigot/doxer-mode and then brag about her bank balance.
So prison players, you good with that? How about you Tart, wouldn’t you feel better about a win you earnt rather than one you bought?
