Gripes about the song game

Post by Pete-Rock »

Sorry, dont want to beef here, but we already played some of the songs in other song games. -_- And even if we take them out, those are still too much songs. This will result in permanent errors (which nobody likes to correct) and the game will go on for ages!!! If you really wanna do this, why not make it Garage Inc. Disc 1 Song game and later a disc 2 song game? And.... most important.... we should not forget to play the ULTIMATE song game, with all the winning songs (and 2nd places) from the previous games.

We will play the ultimate song game AFTER this thread is done! You can vote the winning songs from this game off right away if you choose.

This was an Admin decision..... so please, if you don't want to play, dont'!

THIS WAS A JOINT ADMIN DECISION..... SO IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, DON'T PLAY.
Hey relax, I demand freedom of speech. Cant I point out that many songs have already been played in other games without being instantly rebuked? How should I know that this was a joint admin decision? And even if it was.... is it forbidden to critisize staffs decisions?

Hey, I see that you edited your post right right after I quoted it. I know you wanted to make it sound less harsh and I really appreciate that. But do you think it is fair play to even secretly edit the quote in my post? So I edited it myself again back to how it was. And tell you about it. Do you want me to post a screenshot as well?

Where are we? Is this some kind of dictatorship? Holy moly!

I edited it Peter. Melodie didnt realise she had caps locks on (She sent me an IM with them on and I asked her why she was shouting at me and she explained)

I didn't secretly edit the post, I did it in order to ensure Melodie got her point across in the way she originally intended. That sounds fair in my view.

At the end of the day Peter, this is just a game. I realise you take pride in these Album games we play, but you also have to respect that creative control with this site & forum lie with us, the staff. If you really feel that strongly about this game, then would it be that hard to just sit on the sidelines while the rest of the members partake in something that's proved very popular around here.

If you've any more issues, complaints or ideas, please contact either myself or MetDream, or any other staff member as we need to let the game go on and not ruin it with a discussion

The Game continues! :yes:

Sorry, but I feel to say it here and not by PM.

It is not that I take pride in these album games, oh lord no - they are just games, you are totally right about that. So please, you are missing the point here, it is not about those games..... And I am totally with you that the creative control lies with the staff, otherwise it would not work, we totally agree here.

It is that I strongly feel that it is unapropriate here to bring up criticism. Why? Members are allowed to tell their opinions to each other, but as soon as it has something to do with the staff you ask for PMs. Does creative control mean to react harsh on members opinions?

No one told you that you can't express your ideas and your gripes. Shane just asked you not to do it in the song game thread as to not take away from the game. That is all. IF I were a betting gal I would have won the jackpot in that I told sjmike that as soon as we put up the garage inc song game, that you would bitch about it... and low and behold you did. :) We know how you feel, but no one else seems to mind about how long the games take, or care or have the same gripes. This is the last album that has not been played, unless you want to do S&M but that would be redundant, so it is the last game to play before the ULTIMATE song game. We debated not playing it, but then said what the heck, let's just do it for the FUN of it!!! We know it will take forever, in fact, I stated that in the 1st thread. These games are just time wasters so who really cares about how long they take? Seriously?
