Guly's Joint Gaff - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

The Official Off-Topic Chat Thread currently known as "Guly's Joint Gaff", and was known as Krueger's Korner. Was Liebherr's Corner, formerly Cortese's Corner. The original name of Beefy's Corner, is being replaced on an occasional basis. Next time, who knows..? Could be anyone. Could even be my corner.

Firstly, the normal rules of the site apply. You cannot start a discussion about contentious issues, Politics, Religion, or show Porn, etc... The flip side of this arrangement is that there will be a much stricter enforcement of the "no going off topic" rule which has always been the case anyway, on the other threads.

Secondly, the normal rules of the Saints board will apply, (except that you can go off-topic obviously). This is not going to become a "private GC Lite." Personal insults will not be tolerated, and neither will goading someone to draw them out. The whole tone of this board has suffered in the past as differing views have been aired and there have been far too many angry exchanges. Vitriolic exchanges are not welcome and will be dealt with as appropriate. If you have fallen out with a poster put him on your ignore list and don't rise to the bait!
If you see content which is not appropriate, please send the mods a PM rather than fronting up the poster and let us deal with it to save a bun-fight. Lastly, if a thread is closed or deleted by one of the Mods, and you have some good reason that it should reopen, then send us a PM with your reasons. Simply re-posting the same thread again to be confrontational would be considered very provocative and would probably lead to action being taken.

It would seem that large numbers of posts and subjects causes problems for mobile phone users to access this site. So from time to time it will be necessary to close the threads down and start a new one. Approximately every 1000 posts or so.

Messages that are purely designed to increase a post count will be deleted.

 

Great name

 

Yeah that's great, but that's for 0.0001% of people who play DoTA 2 or whatever. For everyone else, even though who have a desire to play professionally there's probably little to no money in it. To put it another way, you have to be a better player than all but about 20 people to get a decent income from pro-gaming. Even professional sports (e.g. football) doesn't have quite so horrible odds as that if you want to earn a decent income (say a couple of thousand per week).

As for me, I play DoTA 2 as a kind of Sunday afternoon tradition, co-op just because it's something that doesn't require much thought.

 

Close enough to Guly's Joint I suppose.

Now, I want to get LTL started on youtube careers.

 

What the **** is a "joint gaff"?

 

They have them in Amsterdam?

 

Oh those! I call them "joint joints".

 

It's the current name for a compromise. Didn't you know..?

Besides, Lamb likes the name a lot and that's good enough for me.

 

joking surely. It is naff I'm afraid. Should have gone with the most popular. Either or, but not both.

 

Why I oughta.....

 

Seriously. TSS it is naff. If you didn't like joint, you should have gone Gaff. It is so bad.

Change it to one or the other.

 

Guly's Joint Gaff just sounds wrong. Sorry TSS, it's ****. I'm with FLT.

 

I'll follow the pack. Naff.

 

Vote vote vote! I vote Joint.

You're hugely underestimating the amount of professional players let alone those who make their living from livestreaming or making YouTube videos. I can guarantee the ratios between amount of players to those who are professional in eSports and real sport is not that different. Also since when is a couple thousand per week a 'decent' living haha?

 

Guly's joint.

 

I'm with stupid, errr, I mean Tom!

 

I vote that we remove the first part altogether and go for 'The Off-Topic Chat Thread' because you're all babies.

 

Jos's Joint.
Hooiveld's Hangout.

Just call me Mr Compromise. He's off too, and did more than GDP...

 

I could get by on 104k per year, easily.

Maybe, maybe. Tbh it's nothing I've ever looked into but that's just the impression I get, but maybe it's more of a realistic career option for someone willing to put in the time than I'm suggesting. Who knows.
