Why was the community left out of this ? Why are the selected people given this opportunity , are they better than some of us ?
Dont start , i asked a couple question , that is all , you seem to be very big in getting involved but maybe you think you can do as you like and you seem to get away with it. I wonder if you would have the same voice if stood infront of me ?. You insulted my wife the last time we spoke. Dont start stirring up trouble. I have posted over 100 times since we spoke last and this is the first time you seem to want to respond. This is proof you are doing it to cause trouble
I asked 2 questions , stay out of it.
I've no delusions of somehow being excluded from the rules on this forums. They apply to everyone.
Unnecessary aggression, but I'll bite. Yes, yes I would.
Actually no, I did not. All I said was that I doubted it was anyone else but you that wrote the messages. Then I continued with the reservation that let's assume it is. No insults involved.
I'm sorry, but isn't it you who's engaging in character assassination right now?
You also, with the questions you asked, explained why you were not involved.
Would appreciate if you didn't derail this thread any further.
Don't worry Funktastics. You are a wonderful trackbuilder, here is not the point.
this trip have many aspect for why him and not him. i's not at all about better than someone or like this thing.
It's just fill in this way like the disponibility of eveyone, it's really hard to setup a trip like this with perfect date calendar for everyone. And surely other details and stuff.
The community was not lefted out. It's just keep it secret to the very last time for many reasons. Even myself i don't know with who i will travel.
Make a handshake funktastic and we go share some beer maybe one time in the futur. Who know's ^^
Yeah, we are all equal here dude. It is definitely not about people being better than others..The community wasn't left out, as it was the community that went. All for their own reasons. It would be impossible for 50/100 guys to go right?
The logistical task of setting this up is a task in itself.. Details, time frame etc.
These trips are always spoken about, after the event..
That's your questions answered from my point..
hi bud ,:)
My intial thoughts were , " i would have liked to meet those guys " would have been nice and to a point does seem that some people are always getting the chances too. Take fin for instance he has on other occasions had this opportunity were as others haven't like my self. Its only natural to be disappointed about something if you would have really liked to have been involved ,some people just always want to be negative towards some people when all i did was have a natural thought and process and just asked a few questions. I play this game many hours a day 7 days a week and i also take part in the forum and community so its inevitable that i would want to be involved in things like this also. I am also very good friends with swampballs and his wife and have spoke to them for the past year or so on a reqular bases so it would have been great to meet up with them too. Sometimes it feels that the commuity side of it is only open to certain people. I guess this is why some then seek thier own rewards by trolling
It wasnt a problem and i never meant no harm bud when i asked my first questions, but more of a " yeah that would have been cool to be involved in" and maybe an invite atleast would have been awesome" and im not sure why fin would not see that this may be the thoughts of many people who suddenly see this post. It does come across as a secretive society in a forum or community when it suddenly appears. By all means bud no hard feelings mate and im sorry that any problem seemed to pop up when i posted. I guess in some ways i am getting irritated by the lack of response from redlynx , i have been trying to make a competition for the community with thier help and before Christmas it was was looking good but then shogun just stopped replying and hasnt for over 3 weeks or so now and any other response just keep giving me the run around to a degree maybe not but it feels like it. I have also had to approach redlynx my self and actual ask for a tournament to be put on the dasboard in which was suppose to be done weeks ago but again is just being left so in many ways i am being ignored. Unlike fin and many , we have to approach redlynx and ask for things , some arent involved in the invite circle of selective people and its only naturel people feel left out when so much support as a gamer is still given,
Most importantly i did not mean any offence dude , deffo will shake your hand dude :)
@ Rude Morph
Thanks rude , morphboy and no bud , dam i would do the same my self , pleased for you all , honestly am:)
@fin
I want to put all this crap from the past behind us bud , if its not dealt with it will carry on and creep further up and end up in something we regret , so what do you say bud ?
Hello Funk,
I will leave Matt gives his own answer too but I wanted to also answer personally because I was among the group of people who chose who to invite, so I can explain how my reasoning worked. Please take into account this answer is my own personal opinion, other people in the team may have had different criteria.
Also, I am going to ignore the exchange between Fin and you but that's not cool.
The first thing is that obviously, the community has not been left out of this, as we invited some players. But I think what you mean is "Why you didn't let the community chose who would come?". It doesn't look like a real option though, I don't see how that could even work. Also, we have plans for the future of working closer with the community, so it was important to invite these ones that we believe represent a good mix of types of players and good attitudes. Then there are other criteria like number of people, budget, nationality etc... There were other players in the short list, we just couldn't invite everyone. But when I see how many they were, I am really proud we have been able to pull that off. When studios organize this type of event, it's rarely for so many players or it's because it's a much bigger studio.
About my criteria, I think the attitude inside the community was the first criteria in my mind (and not only the 3 last months, but on a very long time). I don't think we have invited only fanboys who have always been happy with what we did. Some of the players who have been invited have been quite vocal on their disappointments in the past actually (in public and in private). Also if we wouldn't have invited these ones, none of them would have asked "Are they better than some of us?". They would have expressed their jealousy (not even sure), in a positive way (for sure) and would have congratulated the lucky ones. Another thing is we wanted to be sure to have a great alchemy between all the players (it's not easy in a group so large) and we feel like it worked as they seemed to have fun together.
What I like in the panel of people we invited:
- Good split of nationality (most of them are Europeans though as it was easier to make people travel in EU).
- Good split of new and veteran players (Swampballs started Trials with Fusion, some with TEGE, some with Evo, some with HD, some with Trials2SE).
- Good split of players age (from 20 or to 40+ I think)
- Good split between all type of players: speed runners (iBlubbil, Blaze, Sandholm...), streamers (Inquisitor, Blaze), community organizers (Psyhodelik French, Morfyboy OTHG...), builders, (Swampballs, TeriXeri, Nibhorhats...)
- We had all platforms represented, even keyboard people. (half joke for iBlubbil)
I am quite happy with that. I think the community team did a great job.
So I want to tell you I totally understand your frustration, but I think you can also understand our choices. I think you should see that as an encouragement as we're showing we're working closer and closer with the community, which can only be positive for everyone, especially the highly involved players like you.
No drama, mate! All friends.
Cheers,
@ Anyone
" Better " in a gaming world means skill or have people forgot the design for a gaming forum ?. Hence stream participation. Who ever read " better person " maybe need to read some self help books , you are beautiful lol
@eno
What about giving to a gamer who supports your game so much who havent been given sod all ? this is what i mean , this is what i mean when i say being a selective process and as long as your in that bubble you may get in. Morally when there is many gamers in the game that have not received anything as of yet from the game should have been considered and people who have should have not been even part of the selection process, it to me only seem fair if you want to class as giving to the whole community and not just a select few. As they are members of the community it would suggest that the community was involved but not in choosing them , it would have been very easy to make up some list and poll were the community could have voted.
As much as there is reasons for individual events such as this , there is no reasonable reason why members continue to repeatedly get put into these players rewards , most features include people who have already been given many other feature or invites to things. These gamers should be excluded from further features likes these to give chance for the whole community to get involved , i mean i wasnt even invited to make a dashboard tournament i ad to ask , were special invites were sent out to obvious favoured people and the same for the community recommended no doubt , thats coming. I personally have given this game engouh time to have earnt some support back , even alittle.
" Thats a community " other wise every time something happens some of the already given to will receive again and again leaving people like my self seeing no return for thier gaming support and others who support this game in many case with as much or more more hours of thier time.
I understand i wont ever be getting any rewards or invites , but it would be nice to actually get some support back from redlynx team like it continues to give certain other people of thier choice. but i guess , i will settle for being betting looking than everyone in the photos lol. :p
