Major Announcement

[NUCK]

1. We're not attacking Baller at all and the assumption that we are is actually kind of offensive, at least to me. The point of the conversation is to better the league, and in my opinion, is one that should've been had before the league opened, not now. So to say that he's running everything is exactly one of the reasons the conversation needs to be had. You can't build a bridge on one rock, you need a strong base.

2. Kendrick is not being an ass to anyone but me, and I'd rather he ask about grades on his work because when you graded mine and gave me a 4/5 you locked the thread so I couldn't ask. He can say whatever he wants and he has valid points.

The way I read through this thread, it gave me the impression that a majority of the comments and questions. Directed towards Baller were not needed and redundant.I am not speaking about the new guys, as theirs would all be legit new member questions.

My comment to Kendrick was supposed to finish with " towards Bengals " as it was evident to me your answers were clear and Kendrick is an intelligent enough of a human to comprehend them. He was, in my eyes just baiting and trolling.

As far as me locking your thread, I have yet to lock a single GFX thread. I thought it was good idea to have them stay unlocked to have creative conversation after the fact. If " I " locked it, it would have been purely mistake. Someone else may have but it was not me nor did I request it.

GFX grades are and can only ever be subjective.  There is no way that I can see a GFX getting a perfect scale to grade. We either leave it up to the eye of the beholder to judge. Or we simply give it automatic grade.

And know I don't think you should receive more per gfx dig ATM. Am I saying this shouldn't be discussed, no but not necessarily in this thread.

EVERYONE needs to fucking lay off of Baller, Bengals can attested to how quickly this shit gets old. The guys running every aspect of the site, in one way or another.

Things are not perfect, but we make it better by working together. Not bickering like spoiled pricks!

Make it constructive or simply shut the fuck up.

I will put some thought into ideas, possibly a bonus for submitting 4 submission. Or a bonus for creating another person a signature. Please feel free to start a suggestion topic. I am on mobile so this is hard to type.



@Kendrick stop being an ass

I'm not being an ass actually. I am asking him a legit question in order to find out what I need to do in graphics. I appreciate his honest answers because if I can make a graphic that he says has improved, than I've done my job of trying something he thinks would look better.

However, as the Head Grader I would assume you want people asking questions? Otherwise it's "Here's your grade, of you don't like it too bad".

If that is baiting and trolling than as Head Grader you may have more problems in the future. That was genuinely asking him if personal opinion is brought into it.

Yeah! How dare you guys bring up your concerns about a graphic grading system that has already proven to be inefficient! It isn't like there have been graphics sitting for over a week that haven't been graded yet! Anyone that disagrees with this stuff is obviously just doing so to stir shit up.

Am I doing this right?

If a 5/5 grafx was worth 1 mil there would be people routinely getting 3+ mil per week from grafx. Grafx guys on SHL are already the guys who seem to make the most money IMO. 1 mil.for 1 Sig seems like a bit much when people submit 4 per week.

Well, there is and is not truth to this.

1) I am a gfx person. I have a moderately large bank account on the SHL. I haven't submitted a Sig for $ in so long that I can't actually make a legitimate estimate on it.

My cash largely comes from me being a banker and my contract and the fact that I stopped buying equipment once I was happy with my build.

2) the largest bank accounts I can remember are actually Eggys, ArGar, and maybe incitehysteria? They got all of their cash by writing big ass articles. 701 has a large account, but I believe he got a lot of his by buying SHL $ with real money back when you could do person to person transfers.

3) The SHL legit takes the most work of any sim league I'm in or have ever been in. In the four other leagues I've been on, or am currently in 3 of them operate under the same system: you do a 500 word article or sig for your weekly PT (worth 6 TPE) and earn 2-3 TPE with an AC-like activity or 200 word article/trading card. On the SHL I'd have to do at least 2 Sigs and an additional 300 words plus an AC to get my "week's" worth of ITC, AC, and PT.

I suspect that in general the guys who are doing 4 Sigs every week aren't in many different sim leagues, and so can devote all of their effort to just TPE whirring on the SHL. Personally, I've only got timer to do 2-3 Sigs per week, and those will almost always go to there leagues where that will cover my entire weeks earning needs.

It takes you guys that long to make graphics? Wow.

I can do a graphic in way less time than it takes me to make up 1000 words.

[DollarAndADream]

Either 1000 words takes other guys way less time to write or I'm retarded, because I don't think I can crank that out in less than an hour. Happy to be proven wrong, but it's hard to write about made up football.

This is my take as well. It would take me way longer to crank out thousands of words than it would to crank out a few sigs. Granted, my sigs aren't of the same caliber as some of the amazing work other guys do, but still.

Making up 1000 words multiple times about role playing football isn't easy. You're either comparing stats, breaking down stats of players/teams, or you're just making up stories.

Why is everyone so angry

You know, it's weird. Almost like different people are good at different things. Strange.
