As sht. I'm one qualification short. When I was born I didn't know what video games were. It took me about 4 years to figure it out.

I'd say submissions should be allowed since TGSAP is in place. It's not like refs entering their own achievements themselves.

Database management could result in temptation although if such a thing were abused the person would be easily caught

I’m sure Jace has all of this covered already. He mentioned a while back no staff member will be able to submit under his management.

Nor do I think it's appropriate to be throwing out definitive statements based purely on speculation - unless you spoke to Jace, Robert, or someone else from TG who shared info with you (and got their permission to share it with us), I think it's pretty irresponsible JJT.
Thanks Snowflake, Barra, HugDD thanked this post
  • alarm

I would be curious what your source was jtt. When I thought you might be correct I didn't want to pry for more info which was surely confidential but now that we know it's false I'd like to know if you just make stuff up or if someone else played you
