		<description>Lol

The Petition

&quot;This document serves as a positioning statement for the PC and console gaming community of South Africa on its desire to self regulate.&quot;

one of their replies on the petition forum

&quot;Its not the community&#039;s job to run their tournaments for them&quot; 

Am I the only one that sees the funny in this. They strive to self regulate this and then complain that its not the communities job to do this.</description>

		<description>This will only worsen the SA gaming situation. Theres an interesting post on their forum atm under general discussions and I have to say I agree with the guys going against this petition 100%.

How do they expect that a handful of nominees can represent the voices of all South African gamers and not only the 10 largest clans in SA that nominated their own guys. It will only result in unfair treatment towards the other clans in SA and raise the question of fair play at championships.

LOL what are they smoking? They don&#039;t even have 700 sigs and their already nominating the committee. I wonder how Deny of those sigs was signed without knowing the true impact this will have on SA gaming if it ever passed and how many sigs have been falsified as that is really easy to do.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t get it. All sports are ruled by these types of organisations. What makes gaming any different? The &quot;boards&quot; and the &quot;suit&#039;s&quot; and all the bureaucracy is just a way of life, and that is, ultimately, what rules the modern world. If you don&#039;t like it, you are approaching a much bigger issue than just the MSSE. Besides, gamers couldn&#039;t manage something like this. It is not their expertise. Yes if there were people involved in this line of work, who happened to be gamers, that would be the ideal situation - but it is not a reality. IMO this whole opposition to the MSSA is not realistically thought-out, and just shows how much the gaming community lacks perspective and maturity.</description>

		<description>this petition is really getting going. I see over 100 people signed it in a span off 1:30 hours. I really am for this petition, promotes more control to the gamers instead of the evil suits (:D). But then again they should include in the final council 1 or 2 suits that know the ropes/if they can get gamers that know the ropes</description>
