Hi all
Just a quick post to say...
Well, it’s been an interesting 12 months since a post on this forum from Zey plunged me into a years worth of organisation both in the BWJK2 league and community. For the most part it's been rewarding, I have enjoyed things, and put ALOT of time and work into it (possibly more than I should have considering I also have a life which at some times took a back seat). What I'm trying to say is.. I've worked hard in the last few months and I've not taken this dicission lightly.
Anyway, since I started we saw the launch of the subscriptions system which basically did an awesome job of killing off JK2 public play at BW (and stuck us back to the Stone Age compared to Jolt). Forcing the organisation of weekly events considering there are few JK2 subscribers. Initially I wanted to setup a mail group for the subscribers using something like Yahoo Groups to keep people in contact with us but was told I couldn't because a mail-group isn't a BW service. They told me there was going to be a newsletter for the subscribers and anything that gets entered into the events diary would appear on that news letter. However BW managed to forget about my entries in the diary twice in the 2 weeks it’s been running. Even though the second week may have been a little shaky with me only posting about this weekly event on Thursday, my first entry in the diary was posted on the Tuesday giving them more than enough time to incorporate the post but it wasn't there. I guess the key thing that annoyed me about this is the fact that:
"FF / Yoni were worried the other day that the JK2 event didn't appear on the events mail which went out that is because they didn't add them to the diary" - Barrysworld Person
It's my fault according to the people who matter and I've not been able to run things quite the way I've wanted to for a while. No doubt they'll post and argue their side of the story about GAME insisting on subscriptions <insert the usual spiel here> and things will be ok in time, but I'm sick of being fobbed off, ignored and embarrassed when we try to run things like the weekly events and only 1 or 2 people show.
Anyway, as I say, I'm out of here and I wish Yoni the best of luck with the league and community, Damage for the weekly events and Kosh for Duels Day. We have a top line-up of admins at BW and all are willing to do what they can to get people playing on the publics again. I sincerely hope you succeed.
Meanwhile I'll return to having a life outside of computer games
