WLIPP was a bummer...

[irbodden]

It was bad-

Rude people, spamming and the worst of all, the mail bombers.

Atleast 5 people were using mailbombers for the contest, one person won an Emag, Warp and something else all in seperate contests because of it.

Very cheap if you ask me, even though Tom did not mention it exactly I would belive its assumed. People complain about getting lagged on the forums, yet they use mailbombers to send hundreds of Emails a minute...

I was there for the whole thing, and I have to admit there was too much spamming, whinning and begging. As far as the email contest went, I think Tk should have just had everyone enter once per drawing and pick randomly. All in all though, I did have a fun time and it was worth it to hear about the Level 10 mod.

i was also dissapointed but i only go to stay there till 8 cause i had a hockey game to go to and while i was gone my *** brother was saying crap to people... so i beat him up i thought it was a great idea but the lag and spam was horrible along with people begging for stuff. and the email was horrible i sent 78 emails for one of the prizes and i got them all back and i made sure it was the right address and everything

I was also there for the whole thing. I would say about 100 out of 140 were there just for the prizes, the rest for the fun. I can understand people wanting to win it, but asking over and over "is the emag given out yet? did I win?" ect ect gets old, and makes me POed. :) overall, it was fun. :)

yes i know, that was a complete accident. it got jammed up and i ended up sending it twice very fast. if you look you will find that it was the only time i said somthing more than one time in a row. also i dont see why i was booted for that i mean so many people were saying things like 20 times in a row and a lot of them werent booted. i think we should just stick with pop up parties they are a lot less chaotic.

ahh my Mistake. I just finnished reading your post, then I saw you kicked for spam, haha bad luck I guess.

Well..I didn't get to participate..so oh well...i can't comment...

[jah871]

ohh, ya must be. robs bot thing gets annoying sometimes.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

sometimes..that thing is annoying all the time...

[personman]

but it does its job.. wait, thats to annoy people, right?

[raehl]

Bah...

Why you guys are surprised is beyond me.

We had this discussion after the last bombed WLIPP. Too many people in one room is chaos, period. Offering prizes is going to attract people who want prizes. This is not rocket science.

Every single one of these is not going to go well unless you install some VERY rigourous moderation software that doesn't let ANYONE talk unless what they say is apporved by the moderator.

and make it so that people that can't be in the chat rooms can still participate...'cause i couldn't get in and it was like having to stand outside a club while all your friends are inside having fun...

Hey folks, I have a few thoughts...

-It is a Saturday night and you are all online in an internet chat room!

-Everyone was in that room for the same thing - free prizes!

-Amy is a pin-up girl, and unfortunately sex sells. You have to remember who paintball guns are aimed at: teenage/20 something males. Sex has always and will always be used to sell products to that demographic.

I agree with Rocp15126

"As far as the email contest went, I think Tk should have just had everyone enter once per drawing and pick randomly"

I think this would have been a better idea. He still should have had people e mail for every contest (to prove they are still there). I had many e mails bounce back, and it's not fair to people if a few people e mail bomb the contests. Also I think another idea is that by the end of the night that any one person can only win one thing, say the most valuable thing that they win, then the other prizes get re-drawn.

Oh well just my 2 cents...learn by doing.

[MagDog68]

I wasn't in the party, so i am firing blind. Did you win a prize by emailing tom the most amout of times, or did your chances increase the more emails you sent him? And why were people able to win multiple pries? Doesnt that naturly favor the person with the fasted connection/mailbomb macro?
