C'mon now, I'm crushed. Turnout wasn't bad. And on Sundays, I'm up against football games. Have mercy.
Just keep up the good work..
If you've been following this thread then you know that the times are always faithfully announced a day ahead of time right here. The times are always given in US EST. And they don't vary. The days are always Tue, Thurs, and Sunday. And the maps being played are listed. I don't make the schedule, but I DO faithfully conform to it. Yoshiro does not always announce the event, but he does when he and other TWI studio members are available to play. Regardless of that, the schedule is adhered to. Participation varies. The average session usually brings in twenty or more players. Some sessions have filled the server for a couple hours. The days selected are formulated to give a fair opportunity to each range of time zones we operate around a good chance for participation on at east one day a week. The rest is up to the players and Providence.
I will continue to feature and high-light the work of mappers here to do the best I can to assist in map development, provide a constant source of availability, and attract player attention. And when I'm not doing that, I'm giving away free tickets to the public.
I'm not commenting on the announcement,shedule,mapchoice or the way you guys announce the events. Everyone has the same goal. I probably pump out another update before the thursday event
But you mention that the average session usually brings in twenty or more players it only prooves Wolverines post and Catalavos thread. Most of the players probably don't care.
After observing player behavior with regard to custom servers for a few years now, my take on it is a little different. It's not that they don't care, I think it's more a situation of lack of awareness combined with this senseless download aversion, and a lack of imagination. I think a lot of folks fail to envision how good many these maps are. If they could get a glimpse of them in action without the (reviled) download chore, I see no reason why they wouldn't be all over them like white on rice.
