Hey @Delta! Care to explain why this fun experience is not eligible for any compensation whatsoever?
-Cancelled original flight
-3.5-hour delay for replacement flight
-Non-functional jetbridge on arrival
-Hundreds of dollars in rush hour transit expenses accrued due to delays

To be blunt, today didn’t go the way it should have, and we’re working with our partners to make it better going forward.
I wish we could get in everyone who wants to compete. The reality is, even if everything had gone perfectly, demand still would have (far) outpaced supply by nearly 5 times. That’s going to continue to be a challenge for future events.
We’re building something new for us with these events and trying to grow it responsibly. We’ve been pushing up event capacity and we’re going to keep doing that as long as we can still deliver a great competitor and attendee experience. We’re working on dialing in everything from round times, judge training, and more to make sure we can accommodate even bigger events. We’ll also continue to add non-competitor badges to bring in more of the community. We’ve got work to do.
Lastly, we see the concerns about reselling. We don’t have a handle on how big a problem it is, but we do have measures in place to prevent reselling. If someone offers to sell you a tournament badge, please DO NOT BUY IT. If your name doesn’t match the name on the order, you’ll be denied entry. We’re looking hard at how to crack down on it even further, and how we scale up access without compromising the event itself.
This isn’t solved yet, but the team is all-in to get this right.

As we shared earlier, today’s Regional Qualifier ticketing launch didn't meet the standard we set for ourselves or the experience we want for the Riftbound community. Here is a bit more about what we’re doing to improve this as we go forward:

Hey @playriftbound @riftboundop - why are you charging VAT for a US-based event (assuming people can get far enough along to pay)? The discourse around this event registration is quite bad, and rightfully so; oversights like this are not helping. Please triage and improve this!

I kid you not, the Rams have lost every single game I've watched or gone to in the past two seasons, and ONLY in the most heartbreaking ways possible. After 25 years, we're clearly not good for each other anymore, so maybe it's finally time to sit down and stop caring so much?

So tens of millions of people suffered for over a month for no reason whatsoever?
There is no opposition party. Nothing matters. Fuck Republicans and their lawlessness. Fuck Democrats and their spinelessness.
Look out for yourselves. They never have, and they never will.

If I bet on a player or start them in my fantasy leagues, this is the borderline-guaranteed result. It’s like reverse manifestation, #nothingmatters

Brian Thomas Jr. has dropped at least 3 would-be TDs today. SMH.

@CodyBrownBets Since the start of last season I’ve lost every single time I’ve tailed you, so clearly this is my fault 😂

Brian Thomas Jr might be banned forever.
How do you drop that pass?

@CodyBrownBets How does Thomas drop that ball!?!?

Why is seemingly every genuinely interesting article on @verge paywalled? I get needing to make money and stay sustainable, but it's pervasive enough that I basically just don't visit the site anymore. Scale it back, maybe?
