Amassing Event Interest
Quick Notes
If you are about to do a tl:dr post - or troll, flame, or argue - please leave.
If you have something to say, then say it directly to me without the public hassle.Please lower your inexperienced expectations, because I am trying my best with what I have. This community lacks in people who can work in media or administrative roles and a lot of you spend more time bashing people, organizations, and events rather than trying to promote or support them.

Hello community,
I am here yet again, using up peoples time to do something for this “competitive” community. It seems that there is a massive decline right now, more than usual. I have been checking activity and so far it does not look promising, especially for organizations who would want to try Cross Fire out. In any case, I am here to put a little effort into something that most of the community - outside a select few people and organizations - never actually put work into.
I am planning on running an event, specifically a tournament. I have most of the specifics ready to go, such as admins, rules, content, and information. The prizes will be game related, which includes the usual ZP, GP, and weapon material. There will be no anti-cheat used during the event, because of a few issues this event will have to be moderated manually in many different ways. Now I am not going to explain myself in this thread, because that is not what this is about. If the rest of this thread goes as planned, then I will be releasing more news when possible.
So what do you need to do to make this happen?
All you need to do on your part is type and post the following;
- I want to see this happen.
Some More Quick Notes
I will do what I can to make sure duplicate IP's are not counted, and I will watch for post-counts on accounts. I want to see an actual interest, not a bunch of alts from a few people. I will also try to see this thread is kept moderated, as I am completely sure some nonsense is going to go down.
I am not going to tell you how many posts or views I need to see, or how many days this is going to go on. So this entire thing depends on you guys showing some interest. Once that happens I can see whether I need to run a 8 team event, or 128. I will also be able to see if I can get even better prizes stacked on top of those I have now. If you have questions or concerns, please use the contact information at the top of the page.

It seems like I was expecting too much to happen too fast. I have found a coder who would have let me use a new piece of anti-cheat software, and I also found a few people who were considering to sponsor some playspan code prizes. I was expecting a spike in replies at some point, but it does not seem like it is going to happen.
I wanted to bring the community a fun event that included some sort of structure and prizing, with possible media coverage by in-game streaming and commentating, and other possibilities. If you guys do not want it, then I cannot see why other people will want to try. -

its hard to get more than about 10 teams interested in anything -

Not to mention that WOGL had almost 100 O/P teams registered in season 2, while this season they wont even hit 50. ESL went close to 40 teams in the third SND cup, yet dropped down to the 20's soon after. I just doubt that the teams and players I am looking for even exist in this game anymore. Maybe the kids finally grew up and got jobs, graduated, went to college? Who knows.
