a theory of the birth and death of the competitive scene

I believe that the Paddling, the Brood, and the Raft were all competing in the last Cogs, and all did very well. One of the older Ducks probably remembers the specifics better than I do, but I know from competing against them that none of them were teams to be taken lightly.

You are correct. In fact, those three teams occupied three of the top four Cogs for a few weeks, and all three were participating in a number of events for a period of several months. So a little bit more than a "very brief spike"
Using Skrim's definitions, I'd absolutely agree that the Ducks are a "weak" pillar at this point, at least compared to the way it was last year.

Sunderland, You are correct. I had forgotten that Brood had played at the same time as
Paddling. However, when tournaments generally span several months, having three teams for
only a couple months is a small spike when talking about the ENTIRE HISTORY of the GoIo
competitive scene. Which, for the third time, takes me back to calling the original post too
narrow. The fact is we are talking about years worth of competitive play and tournaments. If
we want to make the competitive scene better than it is now, we have to think long-term.
DMaximus, I am surprised that a CA has forgotten how to send Private Messages through the
forum.I mean, it LOOKS like you read my post so the only other explanation I can come up
with for not sending me a pm is that you don't respect me enough to open a dialogue with me.
But you're a CA, I can't imagine that you'd feel that way.

Seriously people, I thought I had made my opinions and reasoning clear. If you feel like I
haven't, then feel free to send me a message so I can try to explain it better. I might even
edit my original post as a result of the dialogue.
As for the original topic of this thread,
--- Quote from: nhbearit on September 22, 2014, 11:55:53 pm --- I think a relatively easy solution to this would be a consolidated thread with contact info for team organizers. Even if it's just a thread that says " I am the organizer for team x", where it's explained how send PMs through the forum, would go a long way towards solving that problem.

That's probably the best idea I have for improving the competitive scene. I think a lot of
people are unhappy with how it's currently handled so, let's try to figure out a way to make
it better as a community.

I was merely providing some background friend, sorry if that offended you.

That's not a bad idea. There's a stickied thread in Community Events that's fairly similar:
https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,1379.0.html
And a Steam group Skrim setup for helping contact other clan leaders:
https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php?topic=4544.0
Unfortunately, neither really sees much use. There's also the Currently Available Clans thread on the Dock, which lists the clan leaders for many of the clans.
