Relic... Please stop giving everyone flame throwers and more arty.

Replays?

As one of the few that have been around since "The Beginning" I'd have to shake my head at how ignorant some of you are...

Telling the Admins of this site in general to "PUT YOUR TIME IN!" is just lol. I guess it's a little understandable because SO MUCH work is done behind the scenes.

As for Relic, at least for me lately, I have been impressed with the communication in privy channels where things actually get done. I had a little free time last year and I picked up the ball that was dropped and I carried on and we got some shit fixed. The maps are 100X better than they were thanks to the hard work and effort of a handful (Thanks Ben and others!). I now don't have as much free time and since that movement has kinda dried up. I am proud that myself and some crafty forum goers got together with the Relicans and we got shit done and we'll still be seeing the fruits of that labor in the future with new fresh maps.

OK, that said. The above was A LOT of work done over months and months and it wore me out. BUT, what Ami and other staffers do with these events is 10X that amount of work and chaos. If I kept going with Relic, helping them as I could, I'd basically be a honorary Relic employee to be honest. They'd get the advice, council, and management of others that only comes from doing this since 2006 and actually being a big part of the 2.602 patch process in vCOH. All of the pains that their Dev's have been through, I've already been there! The same goes for Ami, he knows how to run events better than Relic believe it or not. What he does is a massive boost to their exposure and advertising, considerably bigger than a duct tape ESL series. You don't think someone should get a little coin for that? I sure do. Was Ami salty when Relic offered some DLC codes instead of actual support? You betcha, and he said some things as people do when they're steamed, big deal.

In summary, I think the biggest frustration from all of us as a collective is Relic not doing what is best of the franchise that we all love and have wanted to see succeed since "The Beginning". I really think sometimes they miss the boat and other times they surprise me with some outstanding individuals but as a entity I think Relic has really lost some big opportunities on the way. Not just with events but with how the game was designed and implemented with 2008 in mind instead of the future of gaming. I hope it works out in the end...

You can't change your Steam ID, which is a code of numbers. You can only change the name. :<

Thank you, that is what I meant.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...

Price you are hopelessly terrible at playing innocent. Please cut the bullshit and gtfo.
