So, after almost being done with the video (just some editing which was apparently more complicated than I thought and I've been looking into it for over 24 hours now), there's a lot on my mind.
I'm not really one to start a group or be in a group due to the fact that I've never had it work out for me. In fact, the one time I was actually asked to pair up with someone, they told me at the last second they were doing something alone instead and I had to scrape a project together within a day. That left a bad taste in my mouth and I can't say I've bounced back from it.
However, despite my not being big on groups, I wanted really badly to be in a full group of 15. I wanted to get a chance at the special items and really wanted as many people to do so. I wish that was the case with most people, but most didn't try to find that many to begin with.
That does bring up one thing though--I know some people were hurt when they weren't asked... which, you know, who can blame them? If you see a friend of yours in a group, especially one that has space, and know they outright didn't even ask you, that sucks. And there's no reason for it either. It's one thing if they fill up, but if you are friends with someone, why leave them out and not even ask? That hurts.
However, groups can be groups of people besides just friends and you can't always know everyone. This was a good chance to meet some new people--I know I did. But if you just wrote off everyone, not only does it make it harder, it can be frustrating for others. Sure, there may be people you don't like or have issues with and if you don't want to be in a group with them, fine, that makes sense. But if you meet someone randomly who really wanted to be in a group, it's mean to just shove them off and not even give them a chance because you don't know them. If that's the way things worked, you'd never get to know anyone.
There's also something I've noticed which can be incredibly frustrating--the lack of respect for others. If someone is trying to take a picture or film something or set up their room, it's only proper to respect their wishes.
However, that doesn't mean the person asking can be rude either. You do not own the area so at least be nice. "Can you please leave/move? We need to *insertwhateverhere*." <-- Good. Bad ---> "GO AWAY." "MOVE." "GET OUT OF HERE WE ARE BUSY."
There is no need to yell and if you're going to be rude/harassing over it, then that person may not want to leave just because of how you went about it.
Finally, if you work with people...you need to be actually willing to work with people. You may need to bend your time or try being a bit more patient or give WARNING before you just poof and leave everyone stranded. You can't just leave because you're bothered as it's unfair to everyone else working hard. If you can't commit to something (Now, I know real life stuff happens--that's okay, but if you know things, you should let everyone know ahead of time and not just vanish. Similarly, if someone is "brb", there's no reason you can't wait for them to get back), you shouldn't force people to have to try and work around your schedule--it's about compromise. Similarly, you can't just throw it on someone's shoulders to fix--they may have enough to do and giving them even more isn't exactly fair in any way.
But yes, just things to think about.
