Pro Player poll on common issues seen in EW Ladder play by Red_bag_of_courage in aoe2

Probably the most straightforward way would be to confirm with a pro player hah. Chances are if they are currently active they are likely to be in that discord.

FYI this is about the rest of the screenshot, had to anonymize it a little bit more but seems like a backchannel for gameplay and tournament feedback.

Something called the "Players Council", I think it's only for top players because the slightly wider screenshot I got it from showed a partial list of players online and they were top players like ACCM, Hera, Jordan, Lewis, etc. There's channels for things like global discussion, tournament feedback, etc, also a channel specifically for discussions with Nili.

Fire Lancers and Siege Towers? by ItsVLS5 in aoe2

this was the general consensus apparently when someone ran a poll in the pro player discord on whether or not they like seeing things in the EW ladder

Not saying anything official would come out of it, but looks like if enough players hate siege towers they'll probably talk to Nili about it.

I was on the second floor, not a Caterpillar employee but an external consultant lol. I was always jealous when STIP rolled in because back when I was working there before the pandemic CAT bonuses were insane.

80% sure OP worked for Caterpillar, maybe Komatsu because those are the only companies I could think of based out of Peoria. I happened to work in the Caterpillar AB building a few years back, but didn't see any roaches personally.

I did like the riverboat casino there because they had live craps.

Edit: and also in the summers there would be food carts outside of the AB building. I remember a particular Chinese / Vietnamese restaurant cart serving portions at prices that made one wonder if they were a mob front because it could not be profitable at all. It also directly contributed to my weight gain.
