[Dan]

you guys kick ass! thanks


i guess ill 2nd that (master sgt) :)

[TJ60]

How kind of you :rolleyes: Actually, who put you in charge of these threads anyways? Another thing, people are 'banned' from recognition threads, and others have had them taken off them (tung), because of forum bans, when these threads are mainly about a players skill in-game, not how much they piss off the admins on the forum. Dont give me the 'Its about forum and ingame as a whole' line, because we all know thats bullshit after kurtz got one (No offence to kurtz btw, he just doesnt post here).


I started helping out last month, why u got a problem with me too lol:P

alco, has either scored over 250 mil? has either ever proved time and time again they can put up big scores, im not talkin your big, im talking old school big (over 200 mil)

sarge has been here ages and been fucking scoring ages and helping people out, he deserves it the most on that list

[Master Sgt.]

Thanks Jesse, I guess that's the down side of being too quiet and humble. Everyone needs a hater, I just didn't expect hate coming from Alco. And just so you know Alco, I think I broke 200mil in worth a couple times, maybe even 250 and it seems as if I'm really gonna have to get back into b-games and use my premie handle a lil more often.

For the record I haven't missed a round since I started playing this game a long, long time ago.

but hey! thanks for the support Alco

[tca]

your highest score is like 297 mil (y)

[Master Sgt.]

your highest score is like 297 mil (y)



You flatter me! LOL

[tca]

well 297 mil is the highest i know of

fair to say im a fan :hidey:

[TJ60]

thats nothing i broke 400 mil and didn't even sign into my account for like 4 weeks.

Yeah that's why it kind of went un noticed

[Stupid and Contagous]

is reggie still about on this forum? if so then i vote for bellows but if not then im going to vote hoodrat purely cos hes been around longer than me and has won overall player before which should be the minimum requirement for a thread [failing that running a top 3 cartel in the medal tables or consistently finishing top 3 overall], how can u be great if u haven't won? i know this contradicts my vote for bellows but i know he would have pissed overall if he didn't get jumped [he was worth gunning which by its very nature means a carnage gunner will always break u if u haven't managed to get your defense right up, nothing to do with being unskilled]

[curlybogtrotter]

I vote Master Sgt.

[Dan]

hood was the first to have a million fucking cartels in 1 room(Y)

lol same guy i was thinking about then

[Drogaan]

This bullshit of the guy with the most friends getting a thread is starting to piss me off. I hear people are posting threads in their cartel forums urging their members to vote for certain nominees or to make nominations. Whoever decided that the masses are the best means to decide this was sadly mistaken and has tarnished this entire thing for all the old players that truely deserved recognition. The original system wasn't completely broken. She just lost touch with the game. Replace the original with an equal one that hasn't lost touch with the game. Don't go give every random person in the game an equal vote in something that most of them are completely clueless about. Stopping the entire thing would have been a much better decision than this. 2-3 votes in and its already being manipulated by assholes. I guarantee you a lot of people out there that felt good about getting a thread themselves would be shaking their heads if they knew how hard people were working to ruin this whole thing.

If this bullshit is gonna keep up then the names of these threads need to be changed so nobody new around these parts can stumble in here and mistake this new way of being equal to the last. Sperate the 2 for good or fix this new system. This is not a prom queen vote and shouldn't be treated as such


i fully agree with what eyez said, i couldnt have said it any better(Y)

[vixen]

I know my name was a "write in", but I didn't expect a big fucking controversy over the whole thing. I don't need the headache, been here 3+ years and the most of a headache I ever got was getting into a spat with someone in the forum which is usually disolved by the end of the day. I'll be here another 3 years cause I love playing this game. Feel free to take my name off the ballot....let the "friends" duke it out. Put my name up there in another 3 years and we'll still be having the same discussion.



Maybe it will be best if we had one person that decides who gets them, would that be better for you, or just make you that person you.

That used to be me but I got more shit for doing it my way so I have craig help....bascially he does it all now cause no matter the choices I make they seem wrong!

[Lysol Baby]

first of all well said eyez you got a way with words

second of all jock you can remove my name from tha damn poll if i can earn one by my name alone then i dont want on (you know like it use to be)

as for some cartels posting it in there cartels i know for a fact that its posted in NWC to vote for master (no biggie i posted it in my cartels to vote for hood or me) i only did that after it was known that others was doing it

these treads are beconing a joke these days

Of course I would post it in cartel section. I am really surprised cartels like Reds or Daqqers never saw Master Sgt as the player he is and ask him to join there cartels. The guy forgot more about dopewars than half of us will ever know. I forsee a "I told you so". Chris, forget the bs, I will always think you meet all criteria to have a recog thread.

Big cartels dont just go out and ask people to join, they get asked by players all the time.

[Zeus]

You're Loss for being ignorant smart guy.

[Eyez Neverclear]

Sorry Eyez Neverclear I disagree these are called The Dopewars COMMUNITY Recognition Threads so everyone has a right to a vote.

Start up Veteran Recognition Threads it might be closer to the old style threads, restrict voting to a commitee or to vets only, then you have to define who is & isn't a vet. Maybe the Ex-recipients who are still around could vote on the next vet for recognition.

As for the popularity thing & carts voting for their team mates then Bellows should be winnining with all the Reds players voting for him or Buckle as Loverats can usually raise a couple of carts. So that would suggest that folk in this COMMUNITY are voting & not dragging players in from the carts to vote then go. Both of these guys I'd happily vote for because I respect them & I'm neither a Red or a Loverat.

Then again if it it friends that are voting what do you expect, this isn't the easiest place to make, keep friends or gain the respect of your adversaries, if you have the respect of enough community members to swing a vote it suggests your doing something right in the COMMUNITY.

Sorry I have to disagree, the threads were started as recognition threads and not "community" recognition threads, the last links to get into these subcategories here all still point to the old recognition threads and nothing about community, and all the old ones were tossed in as being apart of this very same thing when they are so very clearly not. Nobody thats gotten a new one since this community tag was added has been labelled as being a community recipient. They are still titled, just the same, recognitition thread. Hell if it wasn't for arguements like this nobody out there would even be thinking about the change to community recognition threads. They'd all still think of them as being the same as they were from day one.

And to my knowledge, Reds and Love Rats haven't stooped so low as to post threads in their forums rallying the troops. So you're comparing apples to oranges as they may have just not been the first to the punch. Its not like this thing new way has been around so long that so many people have put thought into rigging it in their favor. There's only been a few votes since we've taken on this new format so don't go thinking people aren't gonna search for better ways to manipulate the process. Its only gonna get worse.

Master Sgt., dude I don't know you and I don't pretend to know you and I would have never called you out and you are far from the only one to have a thread in your cartel forum........ But, your democracy post is exactly what I think is the problem here. People should not get their threads democratically as most people here are clueless to whats going on and actually prefer it that way. Not to mention these nominees aren't actually representing anyone. If they did then vote them in, but thats not what this is about. People or a person that actually has a clue needs to be deciding this. As was before when Vixen ran them and before she burnt out on the game. If the threads are going to continue as they are starting to now then they should be shed of ties to the old ones. Thats all I want, its not a perfect answer but it has always worked and this already isn't....... and fuck you for assuming I give a fuck about personally choosing people. You don't see my name throughout the nominations thread begging for people to get threads and trashing others. Nor have I ever made a point of making a lot of friends around this place. I know damn well I'm not qualified to be the one person. You're just talking shit out your ass because you felt insulted before anybody mentioned your name.

[thisguychris]

The Reds forum was the first place I had ever heard of recognition threads - one of their players was up for one.

It doesn't matter, Eyez - seriously. The way the threads worked when I started, people would put a name in a thread and vix would choose a name from the ones listed. Now, it's a poll.

As far as using a private forum, I can tell you that MAYBE ten members of nwc ever even come into the forum - and I know it's the same for a lot of the loyal players across the board. Last round there was a post in the cartel discussion in LR about one of their player's nomination. Had the post not been made, it's probable that many players who respect that player and WOULD vote for them wouldn't even know to because they don't frequent the oddthought forum.

Being nominated for a recognition thread - IT'S EXCITING. It's kind of a big deal, even if opinions have changed due to the legitimacy of one or two of them. I think it's pretty cool that so many people have voted - it shows that people care about them again.

Also, the way Craig and Gretchen have it set up now - players are nominated, they choose the players to include in a vote from the nominations, and then the community votes for the most deserving each month... I fail to see how this system would fail worse than it ever did before.

Lastly, you should get to know Chris. You'd like him. He's also the most veteran player in a cartel that ranks in the top 5 for B games, top 12 for A games - and he is one of our top 5 scorers every round. The thing that sucks for NWC players and recognition threads - more than 80% of our players only play with NWC, and most of those players started with us. I could name our top players and most of them would be unknown to the rest of DW.

I hope the comments made in this thread don't take away any of the excitement or meaning to those nominated. I've voted for Reggie every time his name has been submitted because he's one of the top players in one of the top cartels. Simon has established LR as one of the top teams of all time, and Nev has built a solid reputation and leads one of the best A game cartels in AOY. I don't know hoodrat, but from the comments made by others about him in here, I know he's someone I'd like to play with sometime - and I wouldn't question a thread with his name on it.

[Diogee old]

The major problem with these are people vote for who they know and not who they want to know more about.

I keep seeing I dont know "this person", yet that is what these threads are for so you recognize them for what they have done. I think the only two people on the poll that pretty much everyone knows are Buckle and Bellows why cuz they make sure they are known, so if anything they would be least deserving.

Everyone in the poll has earned a spot in it so people should be voting for the person they want to know more about because they dont know them. What would a Rec. thread for Buckle realy do, pretty much everyone knows what he has done, who he plays for, His real name.

[Blindj]

when will the threads that got deleted be replaced?

Lotan has been worthy for a long long time he finally gets one and it is deleted. what is that all about? is he not in the in group to get one and keep it or what. to prove he is worthy he cracks off an overall while his vote is still going on.

[SNOWBLIND]

I didn't vote for anyone actually, the reason being is I don't know who would deserve one or who doesn't. I know names not what they have accomplished. I can't see why I would vote for one and not the other. I talk to 3 different peeps on there, but it is just talk. That wouldn't make it fair for the other 2 that I don't talk to, but know their names. Sorry to who ever this may offend for not voteing for you, but I can't make it unfair to the Rest. Good luck to all in the Running!!

[ruffnready]

i cant seam to see why there`s any arguin going on over who does or does`nt deserve one of these threads,reading through this thread and seeing the names above nominated then is there anyone else out there who deserve`s to be there?if so then there time will surely come,im lost on the actuall rules that deam you worthy of a recognition thread but iv been around long enuff to know all the above are very good players and i would`nt hesitate to give each one my vote,it`s the arguments that lower the credibility of recieving a thread when the reciepent should be proud of being voted by there fellow players(Y) ,,ruff

Well i did like stupid and contagous' comment that the defining criteria to be awarded a thread is to have won overall...

However, i think its fair to say that theres enough people in this community who have been here long enough to know who does and does not deserve a thread based on their contributions to this game and forum.
