New Management Structure

[FrEnZy]

Personally I come here to play games I like, with people I like, in a tactical and team orientated way.

As long as the current management structure can provide well run servers with mature admins for these games on a free basis, then I have no real reason for complaint.

If I was to want changes then I would expect them to be considered, but under no circumstances would I expect the people who work to keep dMw running to automatically implement those changes.

As for a dwindling player base? Isn't this something any of us could help with? Lets post on forums we frequent, mention dMw to anyone we know that plays games, help players work as a team on any server we're on, anything other than sit on the forums and complain.

Totally agree Frenzy.

This is why i would like a war anger position made aswell as recruiter.

Hell i'd do it if no one else will.

If we play friendlies its cheap affordable and we spread our name constructively. Joe public aren't as per se tactical but they will need to work as a team in matchplay.

Often i feel i make suggestions and its like putting responses into a comment box. You make them but they aren't heard.

Personally i think we should have an AGM at the next lan.

Not for a personal debate but more so for this is what we are doing what do you guys think could be improved.

Forums are good but face to face meetings are another tool.

We are a community and society and i feel for Half an hour in October we should all sit round a table and come up with constructive comments.

It's a shame this has fallen into personal comments we are all here for one reason and one reason only for the success of the community and to be part of a living breathing enitity that is dMw.

From the first day of finding dMw its provided a vehicle for me to enjoy my gaming time. Any of the games the comunity run give the best possible experience with both attitude and teamwork. I have tried many others and lets face it none come close. When i click on any of our servers i am 99.9% sure i will have a cracking game

So what will the changes mean for me ... well in 2 words "sod all" the games will still run the servers will be top notch the people playing them want to enjoy time on there as much as the next person. Long may it carry on. For the majority of members all that is asked of them is to play fair and enjoy

I don't disagree with a lot of your points Ghost, however I feel I need to answer 2 of them.

Everything that is posted of any substance is discussed at great length in other forum areas, and I really do mean at length.

Secondly, the war-arranger piece. The opportunity was there, and to a certain extent still is for people to represent dMw in L4D, however the abysmal turnouts, dire organisation and complete lack of effort mean that at present, I personally wouldn't be happy for dMw to be represented at risk of besmirching our reputation as people wouldn't turn up to matches.

I don't aim these comments at you, nor anyone in particular, but it's all very well making suggestions, but as with all positions, put the effort in, make a difference and I'm sure those positions will came your or anyones way. Sit back and list wants and not a lot will happen.

I don't see any harm in a meeting at the LAN, but bear in mind you have 40 people....sat in a room, how would you propose that it would be handled to make it productive?

This isn't to ignore your comments, but suggest, again, that you come up with the solutions and I'm pretty sure they'd be welcomed if viable. It's hard work behind the scenes, less so for me as I have one section, but still a commitment nonetheless. I can tell TL for example how he should really run WoW, but without putting some practicalities behind the suggestions I would also end up feeling like I'd been ignored.

I hope this is taken as meant and not as a personal swipe. I'll add a smiley to note that we are all still friends. :mellow:

War arrangers' and matches are no good if we don't get people sign up or even worse, not show up for matches. COD4 even had to suspend the internal ladder, as we don't manage to get enough players for one match a month.

So unfortunately GM, I think your barking up the wrong tree there.

Ok seriously, am I missing something?

We have servers, we have admins, and I'm enjoying L4D with the deadmen. Is there something significant going on in other sections to cause this toy throwing?

If people want to publicly flounce off,  let em I say.

For what my opinion is worth :wink: a thread like this works as follows


people who have posted here saying they're quite happy with the way things are
+
people who haven't felt the need to post anything at all (the silent majority)
+
people who think there could be improvements and have made constructive criticisms and suggestions
-
people who have simply had a mindless rant
=
the state of the community.......... So as a rank and file member I'm not unduly concerned.

We do have an issue with how we grow the community, which ironically this thread didn't ask us to address, and we're discussing it.
