People have been saying this game is dying since I started playing. It is a little but I prefer to play a game that is fun rather then play a game with a bunch of people using modified stuff to be "better" than everyone. Microsoft will ban your console if you get caught modifing stuff. Go ahead do that and throw away a couple of hundred dollars but since Jitspoe's game is free it is ok to hack? Nah. I expect the same from him as I do other game host. Keep it clean. You go on to talk about all what is needed to keep the game alive but what exactly have you done to help? Anything? Have you created a new clan? Do you take a proactive stand by entering games and trying to get new players to get a mic and jump on irc? Do you take time to try to help these people get everything online? Whe's the last time you were in a game and just ask everyone if they now how to change their name? Do you spam a link to the forums in any channel? Do you try to welcome players openly? When's the last time you helped anyone get on irc or vent, teamspeak? I know there are a few people who play now that can say that some of us have done this and it is a proven fact. People used to give InT such a hard time for being "noobs" or just sticking to the values that were thrown down by the great M7 but we ignored it and did what we did for the benefit of the game and other new players. It worked then but people laughed and joked. It'll work now especially when so many of the idiots are slowly disappearing. If you like the game and play it then you should give back some by fighting to keep it alive. Most of the members on the committee have been elected because of their respect for this game and its creator. Most of those members work fairly hard at helping others in this game and some even outside this game. I would take everyone on the committee at face value on the outside world because they have shown their worth to me by stepping up to this community with their words and actions. I would suggest that you take some time out from the forums and put the effort and dedication you have shown in your posting lately into the community that needs you in the game.
Honestly, i have tryed helping newbies a lot, i joined a clan before joinging Ij and made an irc channel for them and tryed to keep them active, i havent tryed going into a pub and asking newbies if they know how to change their name but thats actually a rele good idea ill definitely try it and you may not believe me but i do openly invite players to play and i dont talk down to players or "trash-talk" i know ive had some differences with s2k and probably trash talked to them a couple of times but thats about it, i would hope that s2k does remember the days i was in the clan and remembers i wasnt one to trash talk to others. but this is one reason i made this post "not just to complain like people think" sure i let out some complaints but i had to let it out and now that i have im not complaining anymore nor posting like crazy on forums. you guys may hate me but honestly i do like this game and want it to grow and lately i have been trying to get it to grow, maybe not on forums but definitely in game and on irc, so if u have any more suggestions i will take them as constructive criticism and try hard to apply it in game thanks
