Why I miss old clickies: a lament...

[PoorOldSpike]

Incidentally I hope the fact that I'm still around at Blitz doesn't give the impression that I'm softening towards the rep system.
As I've said before, I'm only having to hang around to tend my Pripet Tourney thread, and once it's finished I'm outta here for good,because I hate the way the clicky system reduces the once-mighty Blitz to kindergarten level.
For example I got hit with a 'minus 2' clicky only recently because according to him I'm "an S.O.B".

Pity I'm leaving, because I'd only scratched the surface of what I intended to do at Blitz (with Randy's approval) such as create a string of fast-moving little tourneys,team games, a simple uncluttered neat mini-ladder ladder using the inbuilt handicap system, exciting quizzes and competitions, photo sections, video sections, special short knockout challenges, a scenario design annexe and so on, and buy trophies and medals to award out of my own pocket.
That input would have made members feel good and proud by being in the Blitz, in much the same way as they'd feel good by being in an elite military unit, rather than in a playschool.. ;)

Hey, when I joined Proving Grounds about 3 years ago their membership stood at 1800, then I began posting in their Design and Playtest sections and membership soared to around 6700, there's a moral there somewhere..
Oh and they don't have a rep system, so I don't get called a son-of-a-bitch there.. ;)
