A "fake" sig?

Follows the guidelines of a sig, same appearance as a sig, but you have to paste it in each post yourself. ^^

lol or that that would get annoying plus it would take up image space

Jack I 02-05-2008 02:00 AM

Not if you put it somewhere besides the gallery. That's what I do at TTC. ^^

Of course, it does get annoying. ^^

Chris 02-05-2008 02:08 AM

lol thats nice to know

Which is why I say go with the avatars, if at least one of the three winners don't have a signature.

I actually think you would get a better response with a really cool avatar. The sigs vary so much that having a group of avatars that mean something would probably generate a lot of interest/excitement.

I'll probably go with the avvies now that we have another vote on it, because everyone seems to agree on that. ^^

Brain 02-06-2008 11:23 PM

I say go with the avvies, though, I have no real say in anything these days...

Jack I 02-06-2008 11:30 PM

You're event staff. Under BD, SB, and me you have top say in things. ^^

I would go with the avatars, everyone has access to one and in my opinion represents the person.

As for the race, I would like to see it as a team race. Teamwork is important in game play and it would be interesting to see what would happen if we did this. As for making the teams, I have to think about that, maybe have people sign up first and then have them decide who to be with.

Now I know you couldn't hear us at the meeting, that's what I suggested. We could've been done earlier than we were if Captain Sea and me hadn't sit there and discussed it for half an hour. ^^

Like I said in the meeting, team events almost ALWAYS go bad. Here's a few of my points:
  • People May Not Want To Be On A Team Making Them Mad If They Have To Be On One.
  • What If Nobody Wants To Be On Their Team Due To Notoreity Level, Weapon Levles, Etc.?
  • What If They Get Mad At Each Other Or Blame Each Other Because They Lost? It Would Ruin Their Friendship.
  • If We Didn't Give Them A Choice, Then They Would Not Know We Gave The Option, Therefore, Being Fair For All.
  • What If Somebody Isn't As Good As Another, The Other Teamates May Take Over, Or Blame Them For EVERYTHING.
These are just a few of the problems that have happened in the past with team events. VMK stopped doing team contests/competitions, because people lost friends, and some quit VMK. I've lost a friend in a team competition, and almost lost two. I don't think it would be fair to have team contest/competition. What if they want to be a one person team? Voting, is a way of deciding this, but it wouldn't be fair to the other people if they didn't want teams. Even if they can still be a one person team on a team race, it doesn't seem fair that they have to do the entire thing, while others don't.

Yes, team building is important in ANY game, but there's limits. Team events on a lot of games, usually go badly. There are other ways to work with people, but in my opinion, team events aren't a very good way of doing/teaching it.

Just a few of my points, that I tried to address in the meeting :). I was pointing out facts, and my opinions, on the idea, and that's what meetings are for :) LOL.

Sorry if it's too long ;),

Simple, we give an option of two races, a solo first and a team later. ^^

I finally worked out the issue, that way both sides can have their way. Now if you'll excuse me I need to make sure someone
doesn't trash my rep for telling the truth to him. >.>
