ID: strings’s splatoon stats chart. I self-scored the following in my stats tenure - 4 needing - 2 game skill - 2 non-game skills - 7 responsibility - 6 affability - 3 An explanation of the stats are as follows: TENURE: how long have you been around. how much have you lived through in the scene (imo. a newer person who participates fervently in the offline scene is more "tenured" than someone who's been a smashtwt warrior for eons). O is "i just got here" and a 7 is "i've been here since the dawn of time" GAME SKILL: are you nasty like that. 0 is "I don't know dick about this game and i could not play it if i tried" and 7 is like, recognizably skilled player. goated RESPONSIBILITY: to what degree are you instrumental in the operations of the smash scene (ie. as a TO, community figure, stats person, panelist, etc). a 0 is "I'm just here for fun", whereas a 7 is more like "ngl i kind of run this shit a little bit. i Contribute" AFFABILITY: are you chill. do people fw you. are you normal in the ways that matter, a O is "i'm genuinely a pariah" and a 7 is "i'm getting straight swarmed at events, bitches love my Me" NON-GAME SKILLS: do you have other cultivated skills that you put to work in the smash scene. do you lead a balanced life. a O is "omg you people can't do anythinggg" and a 7 is like "I've got my shit together and/or my corner of the scene benefits from my skillset". if you drive you have to put at least a 2 NEEDING: no matter your niche (competitor, content, to'ing), how much do you Need it. a O is "i have no stake in any of this i'm just havin fun" and a 7 is "'m gonna rule the World just you watch. i need this more than air" End ID.

ID: a screenshot of text. It reads: “You’re right, most communities are like that. Splat is a little different, with having a custom site for everything thank you sendou. The thing that sticks in my mind is, when we advertise our tourneys, we only do so to an audience of people already in comp splatoon. TOs don’t archive their tournaments outside of sendou, and players often don’t post their tournament VODs to YouTube. Unless you know where to look, it’s extremely hard for folks to find information on our scene. That being said, there’s been a lot of work put in by competitive content creators that I really think helps us out in this regard. Shoutout content creators. But there’s a lot more work non content-creators can do to make our scene more accessible to curious outsiders.” End ID.
