"The Cogs" Week 8 - Discussion
urm:
This idea would work, if GoIO's community is something like Dota's community: with pro teams, which can spend all those time on game. Now we haven't such community, so big tournament just can't happen.
JaceBoojah:
We all have time to find players available and form or reorganize our teams.
If you cant make it that is just bad luck.
If you want a tournament that you can control all the details of, make one.
please, I want a ton more events.

You are aware that boils down to "too bad, go away" right? That's a completely unacceptable attitude for what's supposed to be a friendly community event. Not everyone can easily form teams, not everyone is instantly recognizable in the community and can form their own cults if they so desire. There shouldn't be this active effort to dick with people who are struggling to keep up as it is. Believe it or not, those complaining aren't doing so just to ruin your fun, there's a serious downside to splitting the incredibly small competitive community into different tournaments, we WANT the Cogs to be the big event of GoI. It truly is not terrible for the Cogs to be a bit more accommodating if that means it's not turning away people who want to participate.
I'm fairly confident Qwerty and Swallow aren't thinking this stuff up just to whittle down the participants to the true poopsockers, but there does need to be more thought put into big stuff like this and their impact on those participating. These games should be for those playing first and foremost, the spectators and the channel views are a nice bonus but they should not come at the cost of pissing off the players. Just ask for input on this stuff, it's so damn hard to get a small team together as it is without having to deal with big changes on short notice.
Captain Smollett:
I actually think Swallow legitimately put a lot of thought in this and I do see some merit to his idea.
That being said I believe the Paddling to be a relatively organised team and even we would likely have some trouble getting organised for such a large event in such a short period of time.
I really like the idea of having another tournament, but I think one of the things that made the last one so very successful was that it was announced well over a month in advance.
Hopefully Swallow understands this to be constructive criticism meant not to disparage his significant efforts but rather to build upon the great work he and Qwerty have already done.
