There was never any chance that one man could possibly do all the things that are required here. What you are paying for is the core service, that the basic game works, most of the time. All the extras -- the tournaments, the contests, the clan wars, hell even most of the maps -- have always been a volunteer effort over and above the basic game.xroads wrote:I am a paying customer, why should I?WingCmdr Ginkapo wrote:If you feel that strongly, would you consider volunteering some of your time to help ensure this happens?
If I was a freemium, I wouldn't bitch. But when you are paying for a product, you have that right.
That is like going to a restaurant, complaining about the service, and then they ask you to help cook your own meal.

The true analogy is not a restaurant asking you to cook your own meal. An accurate analogy would be when your Chess Club has its meetings at a local coffeehouse. What you are paying for is coffee. The chess tournament is run by volunteers. You have a right to bitch if the coffee sucks. You have a right to bitch when the server goes down or data file corruption ruins your game. Everything over and above that is a function of the club, not the owner.
It's true that there are overlaps, such as "official" tournaments that are in some way guided by the owner, but they are still at their heart, community activities. I guess the extention of the analogy would be that sometimes the owner of the coffeehouse and the president of the chess club work together on some special promotion that benefits both.
You never got that answer asking about any of my autotourneys.xroads wrote:That is funny,Dukasaur wrote:There was never any chance that one man could possibly do all the things that are required here.

because everytime I contacted someone about Auto Tourneys, the answer I always get is that they are ran by owners and volunteers dont have anything to do with them.

And yeah, the autotournament engine itself is run by the owner and we can't directly do anything to it. But more and more, the front part is being opened up, first to the TDs and eventually to other TOs. So, if you have an issue with the engine itself you need to contact BW (unlike previous owners, he does respond to PMs) but if you're talking about the creative front-end part of the tournament then you may need to speak to me or someone else, depending exactly on what the tournament is.

This definitely needs to be fixed.mrswdk wrote:Would this be the right moment at which to call for justice for master cod?
Regardless of his later meltdown, he got screwed and then brushed off when he tried to call the tournament admins on it.
