I'm surprised CEK is doing so bad. Most likely due to the fact half the clans AWOL. (or should be)

I love when people say stuff like that. It's funny I don't even remember CNS being a competitor in the GJW. And it seems Tal's fiction entries alone were just a few points shy of beating CNS's total. hmm yeah... interesting.

Taldryan? Nothing?
I guess from where the other clans are we are just a speck of light in the distance....

yeah... Tal is getting beaten sooooo bad. We should be ashamed of our performance.
Sorry we're such failures you guys.

I'm not at all suprised about Tally leading. If anything, they know how to motivate people to do the competitions. They want to win, so they do, not try >:)
The participation of Tally alone was worth more than some Clan's submissions in some places.

Hey when you have people leaving because the events offered are of no interest it's hard to motivate those who are left.

Oh dear, that doesn't sound good. I think I know who you mean tho, and I've e-mailled him to see what he was actually referring to.

I know some considered the fiction part boring, but then, people managed to misunderstand the topic a lot. It wasn't meant as boring description and we got some great entries

Like you randomly keep deleting CSP's MB posts? >:)
Sure but you'd be sorry.. cuz I'd come up with way worse images, har har har.
It's a placeholder until my own avatar is done anway, but I won't tell you that!

That bit about motivating people when they find no interest in the topic - that's where the resolve to always win and do the best comes in. That's what you have to motivate with - not medals, or promos alone. Make them *want* to win, make them hate the other clans enough to not be able to stomach losing
Telona
30-01-2005 22:02:48
See now I can't do that. Forcing people to hate others just for some silly competition is just not my style. If they participate it's because they want to and I thank them all for it. Telona <3 all

It's not forced hate; most of it comes naturally with the desire to win.
yacks
30-01-2005 23:30:25
See, it's not so much actual hate, as general... well, refusal to even consider that someone else could be better than them. And when you can't believe someone is ever better than you, you like to prove it. And to prove it, you compete and beat the crap out of the little guy.
I thought everyone else would be getting all rev'd up to attempt to prove that Taldryan COULD be beaten... guess there isn't enough competitive spirit left in the rest of ya

Meh I could really care less about bragging rights. I guess if a female challenged me then I'd be competitive.
Aidan Kincaid
31-01-2005 01:04:27
Well, Telona. More guys are hitting on me then you. Now be competitive!
And Yacks is right. It's not really hate - it's about bragging rights which is kind of a guy thing to begin with. But I dunno, without having the urge to win and flaunt... what will you ever do in the DB as a clan?
Bubbles
31-01-2005 03:25:22
*waves at Telona*
I'm female >:) (No Shad hun, I will not prove it)
You don't force them, you bribe them. Surely you've got the knack of bending men to your will?
Come on, give us some competition!!!!! As for motivation - you guys are forgetting the Ekky special - Ice-cream!!!!!
And Yacks sweetie, Tally CAN'T be beaten, that's the whole point

Damn, you all got it better than me, lol
I have to say I'm very impressed with Taldryan's score at this point, and all the credit goes to QUA's Dark Sabre and Shadow. I decided to take a hands-off approach as CON with this KRoS and so far it has worked out really well! So props to those two and I'm sure the scores will even out more as the Chapters continue on.
And winning big comps like this in the DB is ALL about motivation. Let's be honest...the DB has been around for quite awhile, so coming up with unique competition ideas that are really really fun is getting very difficult. So some of the topics won't be incredibly interesting...it happens. Thats where your desire to win comes in. During the GJW I didn't like a lot of individual events...but Tal had the desire to win, and as leaders we pushed our members hard and got results.
The DB is about fun, but sometimes fun (read: pwning other clans) takes some hard work to get there.

And who really cares about a post count? Sheesh you guys need to losen up. A lot. Especially when it comes to messing with CSP's boards - as in don't.

Yeah well. That is not the only fun available and can also lead to frustration. And frustration leads to anger, and anger.. oh darn, never mind

Cool. Give me -10,000 posts if that will stop this retarded argument.
yacks

Vail, Spam is not allowed on official boards, they're giving you minus post count for that, and the next step if you keep posting nonsensical gibberish is to just stop you from posting. These boards are for informed discussion, even lively debates, not baby talk.
As for Arania's statement, yes I will be discussing with CG and Jamez about modifying posts on CSP's boards, because that is not our mandate, however, that being said, I still expect you guys to police them, and expect to see posts retaining a certain amount of etiquette.
Now, lets all just be quiet about this and have a very happy day... well except for me, because this stupid sinus headache is killing me... sinus'... who needs em?
Arania I didn't mean that the only type of fun comes from winning competitions, just that is one way people have fun.
I personally enjoy taking part in MB discussions and talking on IRC too, so its a balance thing.

Yeah Kir, I know. I don't see anything wrong with Tally being competitive. It would be rather boring and pointless to have competitions if people were not competitive at all.
