Title: Tristan Shaun Gregson Fired
Post by: KangaRod on August 15, 2012, 03:05:33 AM
Guys!

How are we not discussing this already? I personally am flabbergasted. I cannot believe it....

http://www.channelfireball.com/home/announcement-regarding-tristan-shaun-gregson/

If LSV is to be believed (and to be honest, I don't know if I want to), TSG was stealing cards from the company and selling them on eBay. I am unbelievably upset, he was someone I looked up to and had immense respect for.

He got to rub shoulders with people that I would love to have met for but a fleeting moment, on a daily basis. He got paid money to get video taped talking about magic cards, with his friends - who just happened to be some of the best magic players in the world.

Unlimited access to all the cards you could ever need, and that's all gone now; because of his greed.

I want to believe that there has to be another reason, because I can't believe that is the only reason.

Just about to post on this myself.  This is very surprising.

Wow that really sucks. I am sure we will never know the exact reason why he did this. Greed seems logical but it could also be stress. Whatever the actual reasons, he made a mistake, one that will haunt him forever.

People do this all the time. They don't realize how good they have it.

But think about have you ever taken a pen home from work or something small? It's the same thing just to an extreme level.

Is that why all the Magic TV episodes vanished?

I'm sure there is other stuff you can "borrow" and sell for $40.

Someone mentioned something in another thread, but they took all the videos with TSG down?

Yup.

Wow, that's kind of hardcore. That's years of magic tv gone

Yep, unfortunately. But at least we get more Martell and Conley. I always felt like TSG kind of had a really casual view on the game. He never had the overall knowledge that TM or LSV brought to the table.
