It may also have to be more complex than one contest. People who were not that good at it would be reluctant to participate if they felt that others are far better than them or they will look silly for not being as competent. Meaning again it may quickly lose popularity.

I am sure I could think of more but working out what I want to do in terms of university is more important. In short I feel it has a relative shelf life.

Thanks for posting a serious post in this thread! It'll make Loke happy

(My post, however, is on page 1 at the bottom.)

I had something to say, I've said it.

And go on then... how the fuck is Starcraft getDare-related?

(Oh, and according to http://www.getdare.com/bbs/blog.php?b=5715 it appears you were banned from the Starcraft forums for trolling. Surprise?)

SC2 is not but the league will be. Getdare's name will be in it, They will be the owner of it. it can be a part of getdare. Therefore, it is gd related. it will be housed on gd or on an external site just like the podcasts with the gd logo. Therefore, it s gd related.

That's like me suggesting getDare host a subform specifically for Doctor Who because it's a pretty big thing. But, no. Because it's nothing to do with getDare and there's a forum for it elsewhere. The only difference, I can see, really is that I'm not actually banned from my fandom's forum for trolling

It will just be for the pros because most of us do not have SC2 and I doubt many will have the time and money to play it.

What, about three people maybe?

There's a Starcraft forum for this kinda thing. Maybe you should've been occupied on keeping your account there.

Just seen the stuff by doctor I also agree with this

"So? Minecraft is big. WoW is big. CoD is big. CSI on TV is big. Does that mean getDare should do EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD EVER?"

Just because its popular doesnt mean it has to be something endorsed by the site and followed by the site. Its adding elements that arent needed or helpful... or any good. This idea isnt awesome.

This will make it even less popular and more a waste of time- if noone will bother because its just for pro (ie 2 or 3 people) then why bother having it if people dont have the time or money to play? The logic seems flawed.

SC and WoW is FAR more popular than minecraft and CoD.

Slenderman - Doctor · 06-28-2011, 12:39 PM

Loke tried to take over getDare with religion, and then weather, and now Starcraft.

That said, I've changed my mind.

getDare should endorse every product ever created. Depp, we have a mission on our hands

Wrong with everything there. And SC will just be a neat add on. It will give you another choice on gd for when you log on. It will adddd to the site. Hence what this suggestion forum is here for. Give suggestions for gd.

Slenderman - Doctor · 06-28-2011, 12:42 PM

From the forum notes: "Suggestion Zone - An area to offer constructive criticism and point out problems to make getDare a better place for all."

How is having a getDare pro league for Starcraft going to benefit getDare?

Answer. You know it won't. You're just being extremely silly, trolling, and being unfunny (and selfish, though it's not gunna happen).

Come on Loke, we know you can do better than this!

A neat addition for you, yeah. Everybody else? No.

You're an idiot for pushing this. You know it's a stupid idea and you know it won't ever happen

Suggesting a subform for every TV show would technically 'add' to the site. Wouldn't improve it or anything, though. Bloody hell.
