I dunno what to think of this to be honest... Yes, it's funny. And I'm sure that Jack can take a joke. But (sorry, Shell vent inbound!).... For a staff team that profiles itself to be professional and such I think it's also a weird display to see one of the staff members being made fun of like this. To be perfectly honest I don't really appreciate it myself (but don't think too much of that please!). See, I learned and practiced team building long before it became a profession to earn a living on (we're talking the 90's to 2010) and if there's one thing I know, the one main golden rule, it's not to discipline or fall down on your team in public. Because in the end that only makes you look bad. Now, don't get me wrong here... I know I'm probably taking this waay too seriously, but then again: if you consider the prices EMC charges before you get hold of this then I also believe that I am well within my right to be a little critical. You get what you pay for afterall Alas.. sorry, venting mood, wanted to share. I do think it's a nice touch. And yeah, I got myself a winter sale right in the summer! lol 8)
I'm mostly bothered by 'the those'. That does show that this was a quickly-made fun extra, though, so indeed not to think much off.
So what happens if you get yourself a big winter goodiebag? For a moment there I was worried that my inventory wouldn't have enough space But yeah: EMC are cheating! We can only /mail 8 items, not 10 But seriously? There's a reason I post this and no... it's not showing off though I can't deny that there might be a little part of... let's continue Thing is: when I see stuff like this I see: Xenforo website (limited customization options), Paypal transaction setup (gateway), payment window fallback (apologies: it's Friday evening and I'm probably mixing stuff up) but most of all: a direct link back to Minecraft. I don't care what you might think about EMC as a whole but that part is, especially from a technical pov, impressive I think. Especially if you look at what goes on behind the scenes. Oh well... with a little luck I'll do dia again and as you can see... there are golden times ahead
I have done it! journalism, determination, and pure guts allowed me to snap the perfect picture. I expect an EMCullitzer prize any moment now! All pun aside (apologies: I am not very clear minded at the time of writing) you have to admit: this was pretty cool. Call me biased, all good, but I have a weak spot for events which are about having fun vs. "hopes to win prizes". Yes: easily said for someone who is less active on EMC but .. I always felt this way and can back that up if needed This was a good event!
It's the second post from the top on the homepage. Although it's happened to me before that a thread had been featured for a few days but I still hadn't seen it... https://empireminecraft.com/threads/flag-parade.80611/
