    Spoiler:

    Congratulations to the radreds! In a close match of 4-3, the radreds have come out on top as the winners of Red Vs Blue!

    What did you all think of the event? If you had run it instead, what would be some things that you would have done differently? Were the weeks too long? Should we have done two themes a week instead of just one? A neutral grounds DCC? Interested in seeing something else like it in the future? Questions? Comments? Complaints?
     
    for things done differently: no splitting into teams.

    that's about it. :P
     
    don't let hype build up for a month and then have the events be quote chains and using words in your posts. make it something more Exciting than that. I was involved in the event but I felt very little incentive to actually do anything because it didn't feel competitive and it just felt... asinine I guess? sorry. that's just me. I didn't love it. ):
     
    Hmmmm... If you guys want to do it again, I'd suggest you'd only make it a week or 2 long, tops. It was fun, for like 3 days (ish), then it got kinda bland and tedious, I just posted nonsense for a while and the DCCs sucked ass. A month is too much, in the end only a handful of people really wanted to mess with it. Keep it short and sweet. No one has a month long attention span, things get slow and it's too hard to just jump in in the middle.

    P.S. I won. Don't argue.
     
    My activity in a nutshell:
    - one chain during the quote war (right on the first day)
    - one post containing some words during words of the day week (I think, it was somewhere at the end of the week)
    - one compliment (don't know when that happened)
    - one time capsule post

    Yeah, that's definitely not much, but to be honest, I definitely had more fun thinking of strategies how the team could win, than getting closer to victory. Especially the quote war and the compliment week seemed a little bit too forced to me. In general I felt over all the quantity of posts, there was a hugh lack of quality.
    It didn't help that the whole event went on over a whole month, which I feel is a little bit too long. If you provide an event, it has to be amazing from beginning to end, or it gets boring. If you drag it out too long, without making sure it still is fun, then it gets boring and people lose interest. Make it a week long, give different and interesting challenges for every day and it might work out, but even that might pushing it, considering a lot of people in general seem to have an attention span of about 5 minutes {XD}

    Splitting the DCC was interesting, but people don't like being split from others, especially when they clearly can see what the other teams are doing in their own DCC thread. So, one thread where everyone can post, is probably better.


    Also about that challenge of proving that I won't have fun participating in this event: not counting the stuff I made up myself, it was pretty disappointing :(

    Also I didn't even get complimented once...

    Huge credit to Sonata for that one as he went through the threads and tallied the individual points. Was very tedious but got he em!
     
    Oh wow my team actually won? I knew the results were close, but everyone really gave it their all, and while there was one or two rounds that #bluebloods stormed to victory thanks to mainly one member (looking at you, Lucid) so I was feeling it would get grim but I think our lead in the time capsule saved us.

    Anyways, well done #radreds for winning and while it would be interesting to hold such an event again, I'd prefer that the DCCs don't split everyone up because we couldn't respond to someone solely due to them being our opposition, and also maybe not make the event drag on as long.

    WELL DAMN.

    If he had to tally it, he was the true winner. ;/ you poor little thing, and I'm dreading tallying motm. What a trooper, that was a clusterfuck.

    2nd only to mez.
     
    I agree with the general consensus of this thread. I like the team-based aspect and getting to know new people etc, but I felt little incentive to do anything in the challenges and didn't feel that engaged with any of the challenges either.
     
    I just felt like it was so over hyped that when I found out what it actually was I was just like "oh." And I guess that disappointment made me not bother. The opening post for it was just so grand and sounded so enticing.
     
    I was guilty of not taking this seriously enough. :c

    But I did help out in the Time Capsule thing even though I really didn't post anything worthwhile in there.
     
    i really enjoyed the overall concept but not so much the events and the lack of motive to do any of the events.

    i think if this were to return each team should get their own subforum that they could only access. in that forum the members could have their own designated chat zone to chat about the games but the main dcc would remain intact. the teams could be given the username color to correspond with their team ex: the green giants would be green and so on. i think that would bring more attention to it from people who possibly don't frequent these parts of the forum.

    as far as events go it might be nice to make them not all forum exclusive events? maybe a CAH night, plug dj, battle server night ect.

    Yeah a separate subforum for each team could work, because I recall being in a similar event on another forum and each team got its own subforum. But username colors I'm not so sure about because we have people who are still new to the forums and they won't know who's a staff member or not because there's a situation they may need a staff member and if they fail to find the correct one it could be bad.

    What I'd suggest instead is some new userbar (or mini tag added on if the user is a mod/supporter) that is in the member's team color so that you could still see who was in which team.

    i was considering that (and there are those who are colorblind) so i think the userbar would be a nice touch surely.
