All hail the mighty Pingu Joined: 20 April 2008 Posts: 8,770 User: 5,921	I hope people aren't too angry at me for what I said in the other topics. I'm really never this angry on any other forum or in real life. I only argue/complain about these things because I care about this contest a lot and it's one of my big hobbies. and I just hate it when I feel like somethings wrong with it, maybe that's just me but I get stressed when I see something that looks a bit iffy. I don't want to be seen as the drama queen who is crazy but rather the person that cares enough to get really angry about things sometimes. I'm posting this because I feel like people are kinda at odds with me at the moment because of the things I've said. (maybe they're not but I still have this feeling in my stomach and I can't just leave it there) This post has been edited by Sabrewulf238: 22nd June 2009, 01:18 PM

But taking a little break isn't that bad. I wouldn't mind the thread to open straight after the final, but I don't really mind the other option either. I think it's opening tonight at 9, I'm reserving Röyksopp but I'm afraid it will get taken, so I'll try to be quick. Don't feel bad about what you have said. I understand your strong feelings. But I take this contest as it comes and I don't get like head over heels over it. For me, it's just a bit of fun. But I see where you are coming from!

Thanks, the only thing I really didn't like about the break was that it was just out of the blue and so random......I wish maybe it happened every so often so it would just become normal and people wouldn't feel sad that it wasn't opening because they'd know that this was the time we take a break. Maybe I'm just caring too much about the little things This post has been edited by Sabrewulf238: 22nd June 2009, 01:42 PM

It's not a huge deal as Rich has come up with an exact time which doesn't leave too much of a gap, leaves a long enough confirmation window for anybody who does want a break, and a well publicised exact time so that nobody is at a disadvantage when reservations start. What would have been a big deal would have been had this compromise been reached and the mods decided to say otherwise, as I think simple things such as the time frames for the contest should be decided 100% by the host. One thing I did notice last night though, was when all this debate was going on, one of the mods was on and offline for a couple of hours lingering in the threads where these discussions were taking place, but said absolutely nothing, which led me to question who really is pulling the strings here.

I wouldnt pick and f* knows why i would post it in this thread.

I'm happy to say it's one of my hobbies, and if that's sad well then I'm the saddest person on this forum. I think what's sad is someone posting on a topic just because they've got nothing better to do except belittle an online contest and those that care about it. Do you have anything nice to say about anything? This post has been edited by Sabrewulf238: 22nd June 2009, 03:16 PM

I do tend to linger an awful lot and generally don't post unless I have something constructive to say on the whole matter, especially so when revising (assuming you are referring to me) My appologies to Sabrewulf if you feel people are angry at you but I for one have absolutely no idea what all the fuss is about. It does seem at times that people are just arguing for the sake of arguing which is especially frustrating when, like you, we mods are also very passionate about the contest - hence the reason we accepted the position of mods. Anyway that's water under the bridge etc...

All hail the mighty Pingu Joined: 20 April 2008 Posts: 8,770 User: 5,921	I will admit that sometimes when I start arguing about something I'll repeat myself a bit and go on a bit in circles....which I probably should learn not to do. But I think my very first point was a valid one. I want to just forget this now, because I think I did cause more of a fuss then was needed, sorry about that

thanks for being a sarcy lil bitch Joined: 25 September 2007 Posts: 79,280 User: 4,397	LOL. Chris. Everything has its own benefit. You get acquainted with tonnes of good music via this contest ffs. So telling that BJSC isn't a hobby is stupid! If it makes you HAPPY then you must do it no matter what ~~Chris~~ people say. And this IS the definition of a hobby. Not something that involves real things that you can touch, communication and so on... QUOTE An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure.

DROTTNING! Joined: 15 April 2006 Posts: 63,953 User: 480	Don't at all worry Sabrewulf, I only argue for the sake of the passion for the contest as well I'm never angry with someone specifically, in the end it is only someone's opinion on the contest, nothing to be angry with them for! And Peter, I think you're beginning to take these mod conspiracy theories a little bit too far now Fair enough if you wish to disagree with everything we suggest, but we are all equal in our say on the matter, no mod trumps another

For most of us who participated in more than 2 contests - yes. I sort of agree that variation is lacking here but this is BJ!

baddest of them all Joined: 2 August 2008 Posts: 21,784 User: 6,764	Chris was just joking pplll. Don't take him so seriously. Moderating the lonely Metal and Blink 182 forums can have its affects on him you know. But we still love Chris, manson face or not. He's a ledge. @ Sabrewulf: There is nothing wrong with having a major addiction for this contest. This forum is full of "loons", so if Chris says it's sad to be passionate about BJSC, his a hypocrite because his overboard passionate for Blink 182, NIN etc. I don't think he meant it seriously anyway. I think the arguing on the forum as a whole has went down drastically when MY PMS got under control. As for the concerns about the Reservations Thread, I don't think anyone of us have bad intentions for this contest, the mods in particular. But I do agree on the host deciding how to host his/her contest, the mods I think are just making a suggestion at the time which wasn't fully concluded causing these confusing arguments etc. But everything seems to be cleared up now so WOO.
