Well...you read it and posted here so......

I don't see what the problem is. Ashkance's content are very informative and I've learned many things about hidden cv mechanics to general map macros from him.

Yes. But he is also very biased and partisan when the word come about Cv's. Up to the point where he denies facts and bends the truth. So. match made in heaven. Or some other places

[Hakssor]

This thread is not necessary. His opinions on CVs don't matter, he isn't the one who makes the calls on their balancing. He just started as CM and that's nowhere near the balance department. WG NA lost a lot of people, I don't understand why throw even more hate at them, even before doing anything.

That's correct. However his behavior does matter.

That's also correct.

I see more people getting Perma bans on the NA forum soon.

Totally agree about that.  He will go even further than just bending the facts about the CV vs other ship interactions.  To the point where he will say that the CV is the weakest type in the game.   This, despite the fact that his WR in CV is over 7% higher than any other ship type. 

 

He also has been one of those who always sides with Wargaming on controversial issues, to the point of also denying facts and bending the truth.  When the fiasco happened this summer and quite a few of the CCs resigned, he totally defended WG, and said they (CCs) were the parties completely in the wrong.  (Misunderstanding, bad translation, difference of cultures - the standard tripe always brought up when someone is trying to defend some indefensible action of WG.  Then when finally cornered about and issue he would plead "I got this disorder which causes me to inappropriately interact with other people."  {He threw out some name for it, but who cares.  He was the one who entered the discussion that was going on about the storm on the way WG was planning to reintroduce the Missouri.}

 

I became fatigued with his drivel, so he became one of the few on my ignore list.  This news sucks because NA is my main account and I may have to deal with him for some reason.   

 

(I see Bear responded while I was writing.  Bear, you are probably correct.  Question is "will I be the first?"}

You bet. Given our history I fully expect my permaban  I'm on his ignore list :)

I can attest to all of this. And that is the main issue. He is an aspiring game dev  (went to school about) and as such his "explanations" always will favor Wedgie.

 

Btw its Asperger's syndrome. 

 

Edit: Btw taken from NA

 

They do not seem to last long any more.... Don't know who this new one is off hand but I see he/she is on my blacklist here in the forums for reasons that I no longer remember. 

 EDIT: Oh it is the CV guy, I remember him now....  LOL lawd.

[arttuperkunas]

Ashkance has trouble understanding/interacting with ppl, either due to aspergers (according) to his own words or other reasons. Not perhaps a great trait in a CM.

Can't speak for him, but understanding people is not a real issue - as you are taking things verbatim. It's rather a problem to understand implications and motivations, especially when it comes to deception and lying, which is an alien concept to the straightforward approach we take on communication.

I meant understanding people in the second sense, not as a cognitive process.

 

I would say the main problem with Ashkance is lack of goodwill with the pbase on day one due to his hackneyed apologias of weegee lately, but then again they have Maredraco on staff. So goodwill with the pbase is clearly not a requirement for the job.

Someone who defends reworked CVs?

From my experience, the Thought Police are very active & have been, historically, very active on the NA forum (in which case, he will fit right in).

Is it any surprise that Wedgie would bring in a 'Yes' man to support what is, arguably, the worst decision (the CV rework) that Wedgie have ever made.

Wedgie loves giving out 'atomic wedgies' (it's what they thrive on).

Yes, this happens a lot - but the fault lies with the people who are unwilling to talk straight. Women have spent weeks to talk me into having coffee with them, instead of just asking for what they really wanted, and the most embarassing dates ensued.

He’s mainly a tunnel visioned CV griefer and a dork. A guy with self confidence and better interpersonal communication would suit more for a gaming company like WG.

[ihan_paras_nimi]

Another addition to WG's "special" forces.

Can't wait for him to start working for real

"I got this disorder which causes me to inappropriately interact with other people." 

Perfect fit for WG CM

[Gvozdika]

This being the same Stevie Wonder who posted an 'I explain it all' vid about the Yukon - but getting virtually every material fact wrong. Then doing a similar 'I explain it all vid' about the Missouri - only to get every material fact wrong. The guy basically spent the entirety of the CC exodus explaining why WG was actually right and all you unhappy players don't understand all the facts. THEN - only after everyone if basically calling him out for it - he wheels out the 'Not my fault - I have Asbergers' line. 

 

I have good friends on varying degrees of spectrum - some very limited in how they can go about their lives because of it. The difference is they don't hide behind their condition as a 'get out of jail free' card when they get it wrong. That isn't an Autism thing. That is the sign of a narcissist who won't take personal responsibility.

 

Now, if you don't mind - I might pop over to the NA forums and watch the slow motion car crash ensue. WG and him deserve eachother.....

Meh....

I had such high hopes when I read your post, hoping it was El Risitas, since you posted his Pic. 

RIP. 

[Aragathor]

I wanted to say something, but @MementoMori_6030 already raised the points.

 

I find it iffy that he said "I have Asperger's" instead of "I'm an aspie". But that's most likely just me.

[hellhound666]

hopefully he gets enough respect so that the quota will be filled ...

i could not care less who is cm of na server or even here for that matter

all that they do is to follow instructions from piter without much personal impact

But Community Managers have their hand on the feedback from the community that reaches the Devs.

And when you are biased in one matter you tend to be also biased towards the feedback you pass on to others in this matter.

 

 

Or to be more specific: If you are thinking that CVs are fine you rarely will pass on feedback that says ban or nerf CVs, as you would think that they were wrong.

[Miscommunication_dept]

He tries to teach but his focus is on CVs and his ideas on balance are pretty terrible.
