My understanding is that the Brokers were originally the "G-Men" of the setting, with "shields" essentially representing "the badge." If I had to guess, I think it's because they wanted to avoid the implications that come with setting up a faction as the police and then attacking them. (Or worse, like the Hays Code, setting them up to lose.)
If I recall it was because development was happening in 2020 and they wanted to avoid having a police faction due to current events going on at the time (and yet All Will Be One was being developed around the same time period and... yeah)
d00mwake is pretty old my dude, like old player but new Twitch celeb i guess. Dude has a terrible reputation in NE as he ALWAYS ACTS LIKE THIS. Charlie is infact a zoomer and a child in this and handled this with pose and grace I think he should take that CSI logo from d00mwake
To back what Power Dragon said about Bloomburrow bringing in new players, I have a friend who has for a while told me she thought Magic seemed interesting, but was a bit scared to jump in. After I showed he the art from Bloomburrow, she downloaded Arena and did the tutorial that weekend.
I had that moment of "Saltoff" during an FNM while playing a friend then vowed to never to do it again. Didn't mean it hasn't happened since but I've definitely curved it to incredibly low numbers. What really helps is taking account of all your small victories. Something we easily overlook all the times. ❤
The Brokers were originally corrupt police but while they were designing New Capenna that became a hot button issue which I expect they did not want to touch in any way shape or form so they changed them to corrupt lawyers.
Why even touch on the doomwake drama if you are the one that is his sponsor him? Like we all know you are shill for the dude you are paying to have your logo on them. Dude has a history of disrespecting players he plays against, then using crocodile tears to get sympathy and vow to be a better person and MOST IMPORTANTLY DODGE ALL FUTURE PUNISHMENT. This is Chronic salty behavior you guys are doing nothing but enabling him. Plus he did that to an actual child you didn't take your logo(his validation for being a shitty person) away? bruh wut
Evan did you do any research into d00mwake dude literally always act like this and if you ask any grinder in NE they all have a d00mwake story. You guys are sponsoring an actual factual salt monster.
