Finlantic6 need support

by twidi • 3 May 2012, 14:51 • Forums › Enemy Territory

Hello,

During the last weeks we've put tons of effort in contacting all the top organizations we could think of, but despite our well prepared presentation and professional approach none of the organizations have been interested. Now there's only one month left until the LAN and Sunday is the deadline for payment so I thought I'd try to find support this way.

We have already booked and paid our flights and got the trip well planned so none of you need to worry that we wouldn't come to the LAN. Our financial situation isn't that great though and going to the LAN from Finland isn't very cheap. That's why we're asking if some person(s)/organization would be interested in supporting us. The minimium support we are asking for would be the entrance fee (350€).

We are open to any offers and could for example provide you with a blog or other content related to the LAN trip in return. Just let us know what you'd want and we can discuss the terms.

Our lineup for Adroits ET Masters is Iron, Jewe, Matias, OLBAA, Salaneuvos and twidi.

For any additional details please contact me by PM here / msg tipsa @ QuakeNet.

Best regards,
twidi

Good luck! I've a list a mile long of potential MGCs but I'd guess that you will have already exhausted them all. (Have you spoken to R0SS/krein? I assume they'd have similar information)

Good luck!!!

GL finding a mgc but it will be very hard

I really doubt some of your players know what 'professional approach' is.

I really think you are one spoiled retard, wasn't a big surprise, after all your genes are what they are.

Parent

why u mad tho?

Parent

Talking about 'professional approach' and moments later posting a comment involving immature meme/troll crap :-------) youareadumbpolak

Parent

makes no sense, i suggest you read your comment again and think for a minute what you wrote.

Parent

Yeah it does not make sense because you're dumb. In case you didn't notice, your comment is the only comment with a hint of negativity (excluding the replies you've recieved) and is also rather pointless. Do you think that fin6 players would act like they do ingame, on CF or @irc when contacting a possible sponsor? Sand in vagina or is it that time of the month?

Parent

you really have no clue what you're talking about. I personally have no problem with their players, I even like most of them. Read my other reply and educate yourself. Insulting straight away huh? Grow the fuck up.

Parent

Your other reply is NOT about _professional approach_ which means approaching organizations for any possible support, it's rather about already having an org. behind you and your contribution & devotion for them. I suggest you do a better choice of words next time.

Parent

I suggest you fuck off and not reply every time someone has a different opinion. And fyi professional approach is not only if you're polite while sending an email with pdf so I hope you can learn from our little chat and become a better man.

Parent

already getting offended, you're so naive... thanks for the chat polak

Parent

why would the whole team even have to???

Parent

because one guy only is not valuable enough for organizations. ET is poor as it is right now and one guy writing a post now and then would get them nothing. I just dont think some of them would invest their time to actually contribute something for their org. And I think they would fold or go inactive after lan anyway and I personally would never support that.

Parent

now we're talking about something completely different than approaching organizations..
i do agree that if the team is likely to die after lan then its a huge deal breaker

Parent

Well its not like you stated that in your pdf anyway right? :D And lets be honest, you can do only this much to approach orgs. You send an email, you send msges via MSG, xfire, etc. and you hope they reply. I've done it quite a few times before so I know it's really not much you can do at this point. The fun starts when they actually reply in a positive matter or ask for more informations. Sadly it's a rare occasion :<

Parent

We have had the same problem with this as NBS. We have contacted so many companies on lower & higher scales on a professional level. But none seemed to be intereseted. We had SPEEDLINK's interest for a bit, then it turned out they were not in to sponsoring small amount of visitors at the LAN.

Still trying tho!

what are u talking about speedlink

Parent

for sure SL was interested into a non german speaking team :o

Parent

not team he means for this lan support from speedlink

Parent

ah, so about sponsoring the lan itself

nvm then :o

Parent

Yes, weve mailed each other, but they werent interested anymore after they heard how many people would visit the LAN :x

Parent

GL guys would be great to see you guys playing there hope you can find what you need!

QuoteWe have already booked and paid our flights and got the trip well planned so none of you need to worry that we wouldn't come to the LAN.

We are coming, just would love to get a little support due to our financial situation :)

Parent

Yea I know just hope you guys don't have to waste all your money :P

Parent

Can sponsor Olba with 20€! Now you need just 330€!

EDIT: Collect from community, give back in possible winnings, ie. with 35€ sponsor, guy/girl/wsk earns 10% of your profits. Shouldn't be such a problem for finns to give up for one or two beers next weekend.

I'm sure we'd get people interested with that deal (10% for 35€), but it wouldn't be very ideal for us as we're planning to win more than 350€ (assuming the prizepool would be 1500-1000-500)

Parent

Eäh :/ Get a job then! Unleash matias & iron to the poker-tables.

Parent

lol

Parent

can offer you all one or two beers at wzzrd

e: i know its not 350 euros but I don't earn money at the moment aswell :<

i'm gonna hold you to your word!

Parent

Will hold on to my word aswell!

Parent

yeah, waited you at the bar @ enschede, didn't see you

Parent

you saw me when we were swimming, ehehe

Parent

Korkoa pitäs maksella.

Good luck, hope you find one.

gl guys
What was the presentation?

PDF with "Who are we?", "Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory in Brief", "What can you expect from us?", "What do we want in return?" and "Player Profiles". Put quite a lot of effort in the graphical look and texts. We got really positive feedback on it, but most of the orgs just didn't have any interest in Enemy Territory, sadly.

Parent

What did you actually write in "What can you expect from us?" part? This is pretty much the crucial part I would guess.

Parent

Not going to c/p the whole text here, but it was mainly about what we could offer besides good results in tournaments. Blogging, articles, pics/vids and other sort of content to gain visibility for the organization and get all the ET folks to visit their site etc.

Parent

The problem with that is that they can check that you didn't do it in the past. I don't mean previous orgs etc. but on a daily/monthly basis. Would be really good if you did blogs/article before to show it as a proof of your activity (dedication or whatever). I really hope you best of luck but without an org with somehow strong connection to ET you might not find anything. The main problem I see is that you wrote what you 'could' do and didn't really show any examples of your work.

Then again I hope I'm wrong and you get a great mgc :)

Parent

To be fair twidi used to be an active contributor here and is one of the few guys here that actually know what it needs to be part of a mgc.

I wonder though, what makes you an expert in this area?

Parent

Yeah, twidi was a contributor but for crossfire and not his own team (if im wrong correct me). What makes me an expert? Nothing, just over years talking to 100+ orgs for support both in ET and CoD4. If you do it long enough you can see the pattern -.-

Parent

Here is an example of what I contributed while my team was part of Insignia Cadre: http://www.cadred.org/Users/Details/Articles/1675/

News, articles, interviews, LAN coverage, cup supervising.. I also did my best to promote ET within cadred.org users by writing ET related tutorials and other stuff.

Parent

yup, pretty much what every team that wants a good org should do :)

Parent

man if you want to say smth just tell it

so what, so they sucks??? they dont deserve support? you dont want them to get one?

dont know what you have in your mind but i think you have a problem with them / getting support or you are trying to act like master of "support finder" and wanna tell more about it.

Parent

you really dont get my point, guess its not easy for a frenchie to understand english after all. Read my comments again and try to think this time instead of writing a 'hate reply' right away. You can even skip most of it and go right to last sentence in what you replied to.

Parent

"I really doubt some of your players know what 'professional approach' is."

please tell me more

Parent

Read all of Krein's reply's, maybe you can understand it then, sjeez.

Parent

hes just here to talk about his knownledge

cba reading all of these stuff for nothing

Parent

gl guys!

GL guys, A great pickup for any MGC!

See you there :_)

you aint goin so stfu.

Parent

hehe

Parent

I doubt you will have much joy this close to the event, unless someone well linked with ET sees this and decides to sponsor you - contacting teams now would be quite a waste of time.

Like said though, hopefully someone spots this and gives you something.

no great organisation support ET Teams

best of luck

Insignia Cadre

hasn't had any team for years, it's just cadred.org now providing eSports coverage :p

Parent

go ask them for Insignia Cadre Qcup money then!

wtf for a comment is this judging other people activities based on some shit you got in mind, retard

Parent

Yes, you are not allowed to study anymore

Parent

yes, you are not allowed to study and work as well... and i wasnt hating, now watch your mouth!

Parent

if i pay you 350 euro, will you guys wear moldu as tag and t-shirts with "I <3 MOLDU" at back and my face in front ?

and with your dick printed on a cap ^^

Parent

if you pay it before sunday and provide us with the t-shirts, sure!

Parent

I'd like one of these t-shirts as well, you know, for pulling girls.

Parent

So fucking pathetic

Parent

:D was trolling lazio has been doing that for like 2years now :d

Parent

is there a clip available from him doing this jump? didn't see i think

Parent

dont have shit installed to make a clip atm but http://www.upload.ee/files/2318582/sdwestjump.dm_84.html if u wanna see it ;-)

Parent

oh thx to you ;)
have a nice weekend!

Parent

http://www.upload.ee/files/2318582/sdwestjump.dm_84.html

a beer will suffice cheers

Parent

wannabe :X

Parent

haha its ok man there are still only a handful people that can actually do it during wars ;)

Parent

haha yeah true ;p but still !

Parent

you can stand on my head np

Parent

coming to CGS is totally cheaper!

heres my support: gogogo

I'll give you 350e. If you get into the top3 (money placements), I get back my 350 and 15% of the prizemoney you win.

Echt?

Parent

That's a pretty good offer actually :-)

Most MGCs take more off the prizemoney

Parent

If they would win 500e, I would get 400 of that, doubt any MGC will take more :P

Parent

The MGCs I've been part of took 15% or more off the prizemoney. We did not need to pay back the entrance fee or hotel costs, but considering that you are not representing a MGC backed up with sponsors and other partners, I still think your offer is more than generous :-)

Parent

I thought about that "system" for quite a while now, tbh.

not for ET tho.

I'll have to think about it, not sure about their performance on LAN

Parent

If we were unlikely to finish in top3 that would indeed be a generous offer, because then we would most likely just get our entrance fee paid for free. Personally I'm certain that we will finish top3 so taking this offer would just mean handing out 15% of the prizemoney while getting nothing in return.

Parent

At least this way you could still play the tournament though instead of just spending a weekend in Amsterdam :-)

Parent

Issue isn't that we wouldn't have the 350€ to pay the entrance at the moment and also we already got a better offer than this one.

Parent

yeah sure...

Parent

Eddo and me will both give Jewe 10euros.

we need support as well. we are cool guys and stuff :)

350€ is working ~40 hours at burger king, where is the fucking problem to get such a small amount of money? :S

40 hours of working, hähä Its 18 hours for me

Parent

you receive 7€/h here in Germany when you work on 400€ base at burgerking, ofc you get much more as a regular staff :P

Parent

Luckily I dont work at a Burger king :D

Parent

your only twice as good as a burger flipper,

mad, y/n?

Parent

Yes very upset =( Non education work paying twice the amount of a burger flipper :D

Parent

8.13 hours for that sum.

Parent

It's not like 350e is their only cost, add plane+train tickets and hotel + money spent there over the 4-5 days, -60e per face would come in handy. But if 350e is nothing for you, feel free to help them out.

Parent

but they are just asking for the 350e.. Also I'm not the guy who is giving money to unknown people on the internet, german government is already taking too much of my money for the lazy fuckers here.

Parent

So you are searching support for 350/6

Pathetic.

"The minimium support we are asking for would be the entrance fee (350€)."
Learn to read, smartass.

Parent

They are satisfied with 350.
Whats so wrong about my post
