Re: a dead contest

So i was thinking of making another contest,a one that fits more to what vasum01 said.
But,it would probably fail.
again.
why do we need these unofficial contests?
then i thought about making a fifa contest while i was writing this,but yeah,nobody on ee has a social life so they never kicked a ball.
and they probably hate football.
yeah.
anyways,someone please lock this thread,its ugly

Maybe, just maybe, people didn't take this contest seriously because of your maturity

nobody on ee has a social life so they never kicked a ball

How can you have a social life if you're that rude? I get you're angry, but no need to take it out on the community as a whole.

im not rude.i literally asked almost every person i met on ee if he likes football/soccer.
they replied with:
no
or
i hate it

Football/soccer isn't the only sport in the world, no need to say if they don't like soccer, they have no social life

also asked some ppl if they have a favorite sport
megalamb likes tennis
other people are like:
sports are boring
im not going to watch more than an hour of sweaty ppl kicking balls,jumping,swinging rackets or sticks

I like soccer.. Or football if you aren't in the US. But no need to draw total conclusions :/

Re: a dead contest

Can I just point out that it's a popular stereotype that gamers have no social life and that my previous post was sarcastic? And that what peugeot said was probably just a joke referring to that stereotype?

Re: a dead contest

Would you like my opinion on why no one signed up?

I know I didn't sign up because finding a team of "parkour, art and bot" is odd, and as an artist "They have 15 minutes" to create something artistic is just an unrealistic expectation that would have produced nothing more than sprite art.

EE succeeds because it is self pacing and work on your own time, not "show up at this specific time and be timed." People have lives and other events that take precedent over EE. When a contest is a "It doesn't matter when you work or how long you work as long as you get it done by X" then people are able to manage their time more accurately and think about how to best improve their levels.

Also, when promising gems, it is important to either be known as a trusted player that follows up on their word or to have an admin confirm that gems are bought. It is too easy to have a gem hunt or a contest hyped and then the owner disappear.

Just some thoughts, if you wish them.
