[Name]'s Round 1 [whatever nonsense you would like to put]
I am good at following directions. Now I'm going to ignore directions, because if this is my blog it's going to start with what I want to talk about, not Kaycee's adorable "rules". I'm an adult, and I ain't gonna be part of your system. I don't enter this competition with an expectation of winning this. I don't even enter the competition with an expectation to truly be in competition. Because honestly, why should I expect to win this? I'm all grown up guys, it's adorable and I know after the year long hiatus I've had several times and the ill-fit for the job record I'd left previously, realistically the staff should (and does) already have a predetermined fate chosen for me. But I swear to god if you keep me around for the last round again to have some plot-twist I will smurfing find and kill all of you. I don't say this with regret, disdain, anger, or hatred, but with an odd sense of appreciation. Now instead of being overkill serious about this, I can sit back, play along and enjoy the ride. Maybe even, since I'm not so overwhelmingly driven by the need to impress, stay within the rules, and all that jazz reflect on this competition as a whole.
EoFF Idol The next CK tournament really is brilliant in its own way and I can understand why the staff continues to do it. Although it's easy to call BS on the idea of anyone being able to win, it is fairly clear that the tournament can get you at least on the staff's radar, where you might not have been previously. This does something weird. It makes people... "care". That makes them actually try when they are told, "post this, thread that, etc" and ultimately that's the big payoff of this event. People give up when an event has work, with no reward (I love you pr00t but the elections tend to fall into this category). But, when there is a irrefutable chance at e-peen enlargement. Oh boy will people try - and this is how I see that I win no matter what. I love being able to nerd out and rant about Final Fantasy, yesterday I made a post that probably took me an hour to think and type about FFX. I loved every second of it. Ultimately a lack of FF related activity was a big reason for my leaving. So a competition that people legitimately care about that ultimately just spawns activity? That's something I can be on-board about.
So congrats guys, you've played me like a violin years past, but this year, I win this game no matter how I look at it. Now it's time for the less interesting then my rant - required stuff.
What makes a good member?
Posting in the lower forums. :colbert: Other than that, if you're a good person you're probably a good member. What I'm saying is, be interesting.
What makes a good CK?
What is this the boy scouts? My 8th grade english class? Ultimately, responsiveness - different than activity, as long as the person is accessible checks emails for reports reachable by Mognet Message the amount of random posting they do is unimportant. If we think CK's should be "setting an example of activity" then this place is dooooomed. Being able to diffuse a situation is pretty helpful too, there can be some... strong personality differences here.
What would you like to change about Eyeson?
Pooooower to the people!
Poooooooooooower to the people!
Besides anything drastic like turning the place into a general gaming website with userbased content (oh my god! my game?)? Let's make gil actually usable. Either make buyable stuff like colored titles with a freaking million of it, or do something fun with it. Release more triple triad packs. I had this great idea back about a once a week chocobo race made in Javascript, but I don't know Javascript yet lol. Anyway, the idea was set up an animation of a race like in FFVII, have the chocobos run at variable speeds that are set at random every week, and have the users be able to bet throughout the week on who wins. Why am I typing this? This is awesome. I should be making this. Stop reading this idea.
What color would your CK tag be?
Realistically Gold would make the most sense, it is pretty much my motto. I know we don't have Gold, yellow will do. Pretty much whatever the recognized member title is made out of :p
Thunderdome - tactic against who?
Psy, tactic, sex. Next question.
What does FF(and EoFF) mean to you?
tit. Now it really does feel like I'm back in the 8th grade. I'll hold in the rest of my snide now. FF is quite simply my favorite game series, it is the game series that made me look at video games as form of artistic expression. EoFF started as a place where I could nerd about it, but eventually became a place I made (hopefully) lifelong friends that I would eventually meet (shoutout Eileen and Dakoda). Isn't that just adorable?
Gonna stop linking after I've made the requirements because I'm lazy. :p Also it feels incredibly weird linking to things I would've said anyway.
