CF Awards *update*

by timbolina • 25 Feb 2013, 19:12 • Journals
Tomorrow I will write a nice new item on the Crossfire Community Awards and do it more formal.

Today, I got home and read about all that negative feedback. It's not about me not being able to handle criticism, I just don't know why I should put a lot of effort into something when others cant be arsed about it.

Still some people talked to me that I should host the cup anyway, despite of people hating for clearly no reason.
This way I may look like a woosh, by saying I won't do it anymore, then after I will host it again. Well everybody makes mistakes.

I'll put up a nice newspost tomorrow etc etc.

In the meanwhile keep voting: http://cfcommunityawards.webs.com/vote

the RtcW community is much nicer than the ET community.

These awards are awesome nonetheless, good luck bro!

rtcw community is smaller, most of them have known each other for +4 years and all of the newcomers at least are known from et. when et gets down to 75 players im pretty sure nobody will mix with the dickheads (like@rtcw).

Robert 25 Feb 2013, 20:10
I was reffering to what he did when he was still playing ET. You have to know that to fully understand my comment :)

GoGetEmTiger 25 Feb 2013, 20:30
well then write it in such a way next time so no one misunderstands :X
but still stray is right in the way that putting too much effort in an almost dead community doesnt help much :p

Did the mighty ducks give up after losing so many times? Did Hitler give up after the numerous assassination attempts? Did MLK give up because of the oppression he faced? Did we give up after all the flame we received from the draft cups announcement? NO, and neither should you!

timbolina 25 Feb 2013, 19:28
I get your point, but it's just frustrating when you're trying to do something nice and fun for this community, and all you get is negative feedback. So why should I waste my efforts?
Parent

fumble 25 Feb 2013, 19:30
I was only joking around btw, but you need to ignore the few idiots because the majority will appreciate it.
Parent

Oxy 25 Feb 2013, 19:40
here's one way of looking at it... take the "negative feedback" for what it is and adapt whatever the majority seems to be upset over. Grow up and learn to take some criticism, if they whined about you hosting an event / cup there must be a reason for their whine, figure out what it is.. change it. It's that easy to please a community, believe it or not. But sitting here pointing fingers like a little boy whining and complaining about the fact that someone may have disliked your idea, is hardly any better.

I disliked many of the 'new' admins but from what I've seen lately I'm sure I was wrong. They are motivated to breathe life in to the competetive scene though it appears to be near impossible as every game eventually comes to its end.
However I think that the news posts, announcements etc are much less official and formal nowadays. You need to earn the respect you want to get from the community by hosting cups&events that run properly, write posts which attract the viewers.

fuck i wont receive my best panzerman award :s

Robert 25 Feb 2013, 19:59
So basically you ran something that has many flaws and goes far away from tried out and good formula and you go bananas, deleting everything cuz feedback wasn't "OH GREAT SOMEONE DOING SOMETHING FOR THE COMMUNITY" something being bad.

Nice tim, only 1 thing.. Best newcomer in 2013... We're only febr atm :/

newcomers should be new imo..
Parent
▼
eron 27 Feb 2013, 17:29
true but I think it will be better to ask this question in december for example, who was the best newcomer 2013.

Got best sniper and best panza(which are used once per round or never) but no best spammer and best movement/TJ/obj runner?

If I were you, I would change construction of your sentences. When I read your questions, it came up to my mind that you're asking about present time or about all-time :) Who was ..in the past year seems way more clear to me.
