Title: Are we now just getting Participation Trophies?
Post by: WxMan on September 26, 2021, 12:37:39 PM
 :headscratch:

It's been 4 months since any of these frames have been scored!  If you're stopping it, why bother with assigning points to these things at the beginning. However, I think most people would want to know who won.

To those that say it's all about the fight, I agree. But even then, each participant in that fight tries to win and that thinking should extended through the entire frame to its final outcome. In addition, it provides the Designer, CiC, and the Strike/Defense leaders feed back on how successful their planning may have been.

Personally, I look forward to seeing these outcomes.

I'll be the first to apologize, owing the community Aprils and Augusts scores.

I had an illness in my family back in April that had me providing near 24 hour care while I was in the middle of a political campaign.

Since then, my life has been nearly non-stop and Augusts FSO was just an re-run of an older FSO that I just updated to bring it to modern FSO standards.

In short, I've been extremely busy. I hope to get them out before my next FSO.

As long as they don't take my beer away I don't care who "wins". It's all about having a good time. Beer>points.

People "win" in FSOs? Today I learned.

I am a huge noob though, I just like the structured gameplay around actual objectives that is so rare to find in the chaos of the MA.

 Nef, dont sweat it,family and RL come first!!   I know been wrapped up in that stuff for too long now and just when you see the light at the end of the tunnel,something else pops up.

  Wouldnt life be so simple if all our needs were met and we could devote all the time we want to our pastimes??

The winner should be determined by who gets the most new people to show up and stay.   :)
