I also was very surprised at my nominations, I honestly didnt expect it as I'm not a frequent forum visitor because I have simply almost no time. I have hardly time to play FFXIV (now I'm afking on FF to write this post) and even less time to read on the forums. When I finally make my way to the forum, I normally just read up on posts, which takes already a lot of time..and then there's nothing left to type a response
I found it really hard to find my way into the forum, despite the very warm welcomes. I think it might be a "deterrence" for newbies because the community is so strong, the topics change really fast and everyone knows each other for a long time...same as it is with our Fat Chocobos community. It seems like there's a river between our two communities and that is a bit sad. But I think it is very well possible to combine Eoff and FCs, as Jinx has shown with her joining the FB chat.
I can understand the disappointment when people are nominated who don't participate a lot, but think about it: the nominations made me try to participate more again. So that's a nice side effect of the Ciddies, isn't it?
