Title: NA Representative Thread (April to May) - Mack Takeover
Post by: junedragon on March 02, 2016, 08:10:35 pm
It's been a pleasure serving as NA community rep for the past two months. Whilst I was rather unfortunately occupied by exams and unexpected circumstances over the last few weeks, I feel like we did accomplish something of value and that it is certainly worth continuing with the position. In this regard, I wholeheartedly trust Mack to continue where I left off in striving to make this community a better place and prepare it for BCoF.

Thanks go out to Duuring for bringing back the CR position as well as to all of you that participated in my efforts and gave input into the future of the community.

I'll still be active on the forum and in game of course so I'll see you all around.

Regards,
Junedragon - Now with no sexy blue name  :'(




Past Updates:

Update 1

Update 1


Its been about half a week since the result of the runoff election was revealed on the 28th of March. As I stated in my platform/pre-election promises, I intend on avoiding unilateral action pretty much altogether. As such, I have decided to dedicate the majority of the first and second weeks in this position to preliminary discussion and brainstorming with the community. I have also taken the time to get to know and begin engaging members who have better knowledge/experience of unique sections of the community (eg. modding). To this end, I also created a thread for discussion on the state of the competitive community (which has yielded some interesting suggestions so far). If you have not seen/participated in this thread or responded to the included survey, I'd recommend checking it out now:

https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=29437.0



Forum Rule Reform

This week, I have also put into motion my plan to create a report on suggested changes/reforms to the forum rules. The plan, as it stands, involves going over forum rules/policies with a small group gathered from around the community, then passing on any suggestions yielded to the community at large for general discussion before final organization into a cohesive report. The process of contacting members has already begun, and several have already accepted the invitation to participate.

If you have not yet been contacted but would like to participate, send me a pm by Friday. To apply, you must have a minimum rank of Sergeant on the forum. Also note that the group is to be kept at a small number (no more than 5-10 max), acceptance/selection is by no means whatsoever guaranteed (and there is no offence intended if you are not picked  :P ).

If you have been contacted and have not yet replied, RSVP ASAP - if you do not respond by Friday, it will be assumed that you are not interested in taking part.



Other Happenings

I took Grimsight's comment that the Community Reps should be as accessible as possible (via a variety of channels) to heart. As such, in addition to forum pm's and steam, I have created a Community Rep Teamspeak server (address below). Feel free to contact me with any concerns, criticisms, or suggestions via any method at any time (I am usually available on at least one).

Teamspeak Address: tor7.progamerhosting.com:9015
My steam Profile: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198027183015



That's pretty much it for now. Look out for new surveys, discussions, and the likes as I continue in my attempts to engage the collective community toward the improvement of its current state.

Updates 2-3 + extras
Welcome to the second weekly update from the NA Community Representative.

As I have explained at length, my primary goal over the next few months is to engage the community as frequently as possible and to affect as much meaningful change as possible to its collective benefit. This thread is a logical extension of that goal.

Here, I will post weekly updates pertaining to the tasks I am currently undertaking in the role of Community Rep. I encourage you all to discuss any and all progress and decisions being made, voicing any concerns, criticisms, and/or suggestions you may have. I intend to keep everyone up to date on all matters.


Update 2

Community Discussion

Its been about 2 weeks since the result of the runoff election was revealed on the 28th of March. Over the last week, constructive discussion on the "State of the Competitive Community" thread I started last week has yielded (thanks to the commitment and effort of several individuals) several promising ideas, particularly those for new events. Concrete plans are currently being discussed and put into place to make these events a reality.

These events include:

  • A public NA_1 Linebattle
  • A public conquest event - brought to you by Siwi (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=29542.0)
  • A casual 1v1 group/league - WIP brought to you by yours truly



Forum Rule Reform

Recall from the last update:

Quote
This week, I have also put into motion my plan to create a report on suggested changes/reforms to the forum rules. The plan, as it stands, involves going over forum rules/policies with a small group gathered from around the community, then passing on any suggestions yielded to the community at large for general discussion before final organization into a cohesive report. 

The group has essentially been finalized - if you were contacted and have not replied or still would like to be a part of it, contact me via PM and I will consider it.

The discussion will begin at some point in the next week.



NA Regiment Leaders' Group

On the advice of Becker and other considerations (namely the incident with the NANWL/NANANWL, which I must add - to their credit - was resolved rather successfully in the end thanks to the members involved) I have decided to put together a group of NA regiment leaders. This group is intended to serve the dual purpose of:

A) Resolving disputes/incidents as they occur
B) Discussing issues surrounding the NA community

If you are a leader and have not yet been added to the Steam group, add Junedragon on Steam. Also check your invites first to make sure you haven't missed it.

If you are a leader and are unwilling or unable (time constraints, etc.) to participate, you may pick someone in your regiment to represent it on your behalf. Additionally, leaders may choose to add 1 other person from their regiment (eg. your second-in-command) to the group). They will not have the same role as leaders but will be able to participate.



That's pretty much it for now. Look out for new surveys, discussions, and the likes as I continue in my attempts to engage the collective community toward the improvement of its current state.

Actually squirts, that's not what Lawbringer is saying at all.

He's saying that your viewpoints lack alot of credibilty/validity due to lack of competitive experience.
Title: Re: NA Representative Thread - *New Update* [2]
Post by: Lawbringer on March 17, 2016, 08:01:03 am
Why I think there can be no such thing as a casual 1v1 league (w/o trolling or degeneracy) is due to the nature of regiments in general when participating in 1v1s or the competitive scene.

Regiments will want to beat the others, so they will take it seriously. It then escalates on both sides until it basically reaches the salt levels and shitposts that they always result in. It can be seen in almost all of the "Unofficial" matches conducted in the community. One side always gets mad or thinks they should have done a lot better. No matter what, people will take the matches super seriously, therefore just generating another competitive league. The only difference is it claims to be a "casual" league. Another evidence point is the PUGs. PUGs were initially created just for fun and to obtain a tournament style simulation. People take that PUG shit so seriously I cannot even start. Even when random players are thrown together it gets overly competitive. Even if the PUG format was transferred into a 1v1 line battle format, it would still reap the same level of salt and competitiveness.


Literally the only time people don't take things seriously

is when they be trollin

Post by: GeneralSquirts on March 17, 2016, 10:52:17 am
The PUGs are the least thing from being serious and competitive. If anything it's just that, casual. I've been to a good number and they were never taken serious to the extent that you are referencing. I mean at one set of PUGs BabyJ and Jackie went on a holy hand grenade spree. Lol.

that was before the round started tho. Once it starts, I actually take the pugs pretty seriously. I play the pugs to get better. If you don't try/take them seriously then you won't get better. One of the reasons I stopped going to them as often was because they aren't taken as seriously. All it was last time I went was people spamming soundboards.

i know I wouldn't do that because then I would lose my admin powers which I don't think I'm even supposed to have. The only time I would throw holy hand grenades is when we are waiting for people to join the server and it's not actually live. Literally the only time.
