UU, I'm leaving out the parts of your post that are off topic, so excuse me if I miss anything you wanted addressed.
It’s about actually doing something. We’d much rather see you post about things that can be done. All you’re saying is this, “Nope, we can’t do this because all of you are too noob to do so”. Get off your high throne and look at your kingdom. It is in shambles. We’re about to be taken over by two big leaders named zeeg and sixen. And you’re just going to sit here on your giant chancellor seat and say we’re not going to do anything about this ‘till we find the perfect person who we can all have a nice session Friday nights at the pub? Lemme say this again: this is a Critical Time.
I call no
man king. My king is a furry antler-headed
moose who was born old and grew down.
I was talking to Symmetry on MSN and he asked me what exactly my vision is for SEN since I've been saying 'no not like that' and 'no don't do this':
My main PC is still down. As soon as its up, I'm pre-ordering, and I'm going to get into the editor
And try and be the best mapper I can be
I want to make wiki articles, which usually I'm really bad at, but SEN needs it so I have to try
SEN will be advertised in any content I create.
And to get there, SEN needs to get its act together, get the new skins, really good skins, that make it look like a newer site and not v5.
And then we need to stop worrying about what every other site is doing
And focus on what we're doing
We need to create content and just build ourselves up, watching everyone else does not make SEN grow.
Right now I'm on hold because of my motherboard on my i7 rigg being dead. But I have plans for what I'm going to do for SEN, and what I think every other SENner with a capable computer should be doing. After all the people who came to me asking for computer designs that could handle SC2, I expected a good lot more of them contributing something.
I don't want to worry about what Mapster and Nibbits are doing. I want to worry about what SEN's doing. I don't want to affiliate with them, but I'll gladly throw my advertisement on their forums. If they want to leave it there is up to them. Competition is what has always led SC sites to improvement. We don't need to be hostile but we cannot be so intertwined that we make the sites interchangeable. SEN's history and legacy should be something we use and say that no other site can offer. It is the one thing we have no one can ever duplicate. We should be proud and hold our heads high and say that not only have we conquered SC1 but SC2 shall be another conquest and we shall be the best, attract the best, host the best, and endeavor to be the best in any and all areas of the game.
As for the positions: I want DevliN as our community admin, and I want Yoshi as our PR admin. Neither of them have said no, nor have they said yes. Should we accept a lesser man who would say yes quicker? I say no. But you might say yes. That might just be an area where we disagree.
Excaliber, if you want SEN to be your personal chew-toy, good luck with that. If you do your best to keep it small and keep from affiliating and doing whatever else is needed, SENners themselves will leave. If we don't expand, we'll shrink.
Chew toy Cent? What?
I'm not trying to keep SEN small. I'm trying to keep SEN from being Nibbits in terms of quality control. If we can manage proper QC at a size at or greater than Nibbits, then lets do it. I'm just trying to make sure we can handle the amount of growth we're going after. Lets not bite off more than we can chew.
Edit: And Cent, you spelled my name wrong! You bastard!
