I'm not afraid to lose, I don't know you nor do I think you know who I am.
`Pure, I realize you can't understand what I'm saying so I'll try to simplify it for you. I KNOW that is your opinion, and I KNOW MEMBERS AGREE WITH IT but you don't ask a cancer patient for their opinion on a possible cure, you ask the leading researchers because everyone knows the expert opinion counts way more. Simply put, you aren't a leader in this more rough and harsh time and age, so if you want to assert your opinions then stop trying to make the leaders look like cowards because they're the ones keeping clans alive and keeping what little action there is right now. Gandhi said "Be the change that you wish to see in the world.", so either step up lead a clan and show everyone else how to lead their clan, do more than just keep making ****** posts about clans/leaders being cowards, or stfu and learn your place
So question...wouldn't any opportunity to get fights, like whatever tournament/contest the OP is talking about, be a good thing? Since there's so little action?
Just because someone posted an event doesn't mean it's a 'ok now we can finally fight without being worried'. It has to be managed and advertised properly. You have to exaggerate the importance of this tournament or whatever the event OP is talking about, give time for the leaders to raise their members morale so the inactive become active just to win this very important event. Then, when say the losing (for the moment) clan between say 2 rivals will get a hype boost to compete properly and give a nice fight that isn't one sided (like the MM vs FOE full out in P2P).
It honestly doesn't look good when an event is posted and after a day of a few clans not signing up seeing posts like "lmfao coward TLP scared to F2P full out EOP when we're pulling 90s" or whoever are rivals right now, these type of posts should be cleared on the spot and not tolerated one bit, let the event bring up a positive feel to leaders who want to sign up and try to boost their clans morale even higher than it is. Don't let it become an event that gives opportunities to say let Fatality flame EOP for not signing up right away because they're thinking if they have a shot or if this will let Fatality flame them for the rest of the year because God knows if EOP could've boosted their morale got inactives active again and boom now you have one of the most amazing fights between these 2 cats.
So to answer your question, yes on paper these events would be a good thing. The problem? The execution sucks.
Edit: By the way, I'm not saying that the staff team of this site has to make events to make clans more active and blah blah im just saying you guys have the power to do so, so you should. Yes I know clan leaders can set these events up on their own but understand their situation and let them understand yours is all I am really saying. Don't tell someone to cross over a bridge to your side when you won't crossed over to theirs.
I guess I don't understand what there is to be worried about. You fight...you're either going to win or lose. It's not the end of the world if you do end up losing. I think the "lack of action" like you said, is mostly caused by how sure certain clan leaders have to be that they will win. Why not go in as the underdogs? Pretty good morale booster if you ask me.
Just my 2 cents.
