Then don't expect the next campaign to be any different then the last 5 ones.Spreez wrote:Not everyone here is going to be all hardass and competitive. Much less every general we look at.
After every campaign like that everyone around here asks why the campaign ends so soon with such imbalance? And every time the player draft and attendence is at fault. Well, I think its the fault of the Generals that were picked. Why you picked 'em matters none. You want to Ignore the fault and reaponaibility the generals have over the campaign? To be all nice and politicly correct to everyone?! Fine with mw. Just don't expect a differen't result at the end, and don't point fingers at the attendance as the sole reason for such an end. Its not. Its jusy the easiest thing to blame, nobody gets hurt and it cannot be guarneed next time it'll be better so everyone is setisfied with that reason.
And frankly if this discussion will make next generals take a bit more responsibility and not go "awww, we lost x players, its not our fault, theres nothing we can do about it, I had fun" then I did mine.
And yes, a General's position is not without obligations and responsibility for ~40 players. People who take that position should be aware of it and have to be up to it. And if they aren't up to it then they shouldn't be Generals no matter how nice they are.
Being nice and laid back isn't a qualification for the General's position.
As to having fun regardless of winning, thats true. But i'm not having fun simply from playing the game or just because im playing at GC.
I have the most fun when i have a challenge. When the teamplay reaches new levels and the officers are required to use every advantage possible to gain the upper hand, to map the spawn points and their order to increase the chances of winning, because its NOT guaranteed. When the same mistake doesn't happen twice.
I didn't have fun at Campaign 1, when there was no teamplay at all, and the same mistakes were repeated round after round and there was no challenge at all, we just got our assess handed to us without posing any threat at all.
And being on the other side is a little better, but its just boring. When it turns into a pub stomp i usually stop attacking, stay at the flag and just pass the time till the end of the round. There is no fun playing against someone who has no chance.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think people drop from the armies and stop showing up at the last battledays from having excess amounts of fun they simply can't handle.
