All powers of ten correlate directly with Buttlife.
The most active Age of Empires III community: hosting seasonal tournaments, live streams, replays, expert strategy, and fan-made content.

So move it, you silly ESOC moderator.edeholland wrote:You asked a lot of questions and made a lot of statements without much structure, but I am going to try to respond to all your points. You did post this thread in the wrong section, btw. Meta-posts about the community should be posted in ESOC talk.

Forums were a bit inactive during the summer and still are. I hope it picks up during tournament time and afterwards. You are welcome to contribute yourself.Why is off-topic down to members online?
Because it revolves around the community, not the game. Stuff like ESOC talk should be internal, because we promote us as an AoE3 forum primarily.Do we have a dictator queen in charge of it?
Nope. You can blame me if you want to blame someone, and it seems like you do. The Comm Team is responsible in principle, but in reality all staff and all members have a say in how things are done, even when you feel like nobody is listening to you. Fact is that it's 100% impossible to please everyone.Gendarme and his followers are still here.
Gendarme is still here, indeed. And he is contributing. He also has friends on the forums, but calling those his followers seems like a stretch.There is no room for us to spawn our points.
There is a dedicated board for it, actually. And there are only like 5-10 threads active at a time, so saying that it's 'flooded with trolls' is simply untrue.I don't know if the game could be more than European civs only.
I have seen India, Aztecs and China for sure. But what does this have to do with discussions on the forum?Besides a few exceptions, the tournament is boring.
Well, since we have only had a few streams, I would say that's a compliment. The quality of the games will improve as the tournamemt goes on, of couese.Some trolls rekt the site and are hiding off-topic.
Nope. The site is functioning as intended. If a troll would rek the site, we would notice.
Besides the point but still: the dev team has made a lot of improvements last weeks/months and they are in great shape right now. I wish that would be appreciated more.Why do you have to be a member to read it?
See answer above.Gendarme was kicked out of the staff, has tried to rek the site ever since and collected some trolls.
Sounds like good drama, but not what happened. Please report posts you think ruin the site, or PM any Comm Team member. I don't think publicly complaining and blaming helps.
$500 and not Goodspeed are the answers, respectively.Snuden wrote:Why does people keep saying that ESOC management is poor?
On a different note, how big are the cash prizes in AoE2 and where does that money come from?
If anybody know.

[/quote]Can you please point to specific examples where trolls derail serious discussion? Also, which users are you talking about when you say that their absence has left a void of good discussion? This would greatly help in understanding your perspective.

Sounds like you accidentally clicked on your own name.iwillspankyou wrote:you could just click on their names, then you get to a page where you can view their last posts. 90% of them are pure non sense imo.
The number of derailed threads are far from what they used to be. Ear and Callen have toned it down quite a bit.iwillspankyou wrote:I also think that ppl stop making threads here, in hope of a good and fair discussion - Its not possible when these guys will post stupid comments or try to derail any thread.
If one takes dickofdestiny into consideration, Queen is actually a dictator.iwillspankyou wrote:Sorry for my remark on Queen being a dictator, That was not called for, and I do think she do a hell of a job with administration of the tournament, and casting.
