GameFAQs Contests

Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 443

ZFS | Posted 7/19/2007 4:11:53 PM | message detail
I'm not really worried about the contests one way or another. If they're not run after this next one, it won't be that big of a deal for me; it'll be a nice time to move on from GameFAQs. If they're continued, that's great, too, because they're a blast to watch.

yeah no contest = no ec, but that might not be such a bad thing going off to college and all.

I sent CJay a ticket suggesting our need for a Contest Admin, someone to work under SB to handle things like making Contest pics, dealing with prizes, creating brackets, and suchlike so SB doesn't get too overworked around Contest season. I know we've brought this up with him before and he hasn't jumped at it, but figured it was worth a shot once again now that we're officially into this transition period.

In any case I wouldn't worry too much about the future of the Contests... Even with CJay "stepping down," it seems clear to me that he's the type who's going to continue having a hand in the site for years to come. And with how much he loves tournaments, Contests, Got Console polls and the like, I don't doubt that he'd be willing to spend some of the massive free time he's about to start having in setting up prizes or making pics to help SB keep these brackets rolling.

I'm really not that worried. people are kind of overreacting to what I think was inevitable. Ceej has slowly withdrawn from the site over the last few years, to the point that he's completely inaccessible now.

that said, he's not going anywhere anytime soon, and I won't be amazed if he never leaves. this is his baby.

PortugalTheMann | Posted 7/19/2007 7:40:53 PM | message detail
I actually expect ceej to become a lot more a part of the community than he was as the admin of the board. I could be wrong, but I see him becoming a lot more accessible, even posting around the boards, and hopefully more contests.

As for a contest admin, I don't think there'd be anyone out there better suited for the job than Mr. Gamer himself.

IT'S SOME KIND OF A TEXAS PSYCHOBILLY FREAKOUT THAT'S WHAT IT IS
HaRRicH | Posted 7/19/2007 8:14:00 PM | message detail
TRE's my number one choice without question. He's already a mod and has stored so much good stuff from our topics and is rarely ever saying something disagreeable. He's also very fast ('m blaming it on him being a computer). After that, yeah, probably Ngamer, since he's done a lot to make the difficult stats something everybody can use and has also made storage for lots of good stuff...

...but I don't think of either of them as theorizing very often or looking out for good matches or analyzing created matches. I've always seen them as putting the info and features out there and letting others work with the finer details. As far as theory-people go...I'd like to think I'm as qualified as anybody, but tranny and KH are completely worthy too; it's not really my place to say I can match or outdo either of them. I would have said Leonhart a year ago, but given that he's gone and he just seemed to be more off this year idea-wise...or maybe it was just me.


More or less, if something wildly awesome like a group of us were picked, I would be very upset if TRE wasn't a part of it other than he chose not to be...then from there, it would just depend on what SB wanted.

Having just skimmed the rest of CJay's topic, I love how you chose to land 500 tranny. I trust therealmnm enjoyed it too...

...speaking of which, I completely meant to throw him on that list alongside tranny, KH, and myself in my last post.

haven't seen much of Kay Aitch at all in the last few months.. this is mostly because there's no contest going on, I think.

A Contest Crew? Then I think Smurf, Vlado, Durango, Ertyu (Face it, no one would complain about the match pictures if Ertyu made them) and fedor would be an excellent team.

Above all else, I'd prefer someone who'd consistently be willing to deal with all the work such a position would entail. N and TRE have already done tons of stuff beyond water cooler discussion, and would thus earn my highest recommendation. I, ironically, would probably earn my lowest recommendation.

I dunno bout you, but I think Wario/Kratos is a potentially good match. And I think PoP could make the crazy Kratos/PoP comparisons go outta whack if Alucard keeps going down.

Wario of all people is not going to gain some sort of absolutely enormous boost from SSBB, especially given that's he's already in all of the other Nintendo side games. And being in SSB is not a guarantee of being a powerhouse...just look at Captain Falcon.

Hell I'm not even talking about the other side of the fourpack, that's just filler to see how well Kratos can do. I would totally take Kratos in that fourpack all the way, but if you think Wario would get doubled, your crazy.
