TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!!

[Rico (FGM)]

Thanks for the good replies --

Gangofmao -- I remember you wanting to join one of the BBB's -- there wasa slot, I e-mailed you twice at that time...no reply, moved on to next guy.

To Mixmaster: Good news that games are finally going -- but let me say this... if you didn't hear from Geordie for such a long time, why not get on his case? Too many players sit back and wait for weeks to hear from opponents -- I understand if life's busy and of course real life is more important than a silly game... but I have two responses to that:

1. If there is a problem with time and stuff -- LET SOMEBODY KNOW!! What would that take -- 5 minutes to pop off a quick e-mail? Too busy for that??...oh, please!

2. If life's busy and everything else takes priority over the tourneys, then maybe one shouldn't be in one... nobody's holding a gun to your head to play in the tourney!

Every time I start up one of these, I ask for dedicated players.

The real point here is RESPECT and COMMUNICATION! Think about it.

Somebody in recent debates called CM just a game -- sure it is, but the Blitz and the Clans are living, virtual COMMUNITIES.. actually a bit like sports clubs.
If you don't show up for soccer practice, don't show up for the games, don't have the decency to let anybody know why ... you gonna be kicked off the team in a flash!
