hey all,
Just a short note to say that the olympics are cancelled for this year. I was going to repost all the organisation threads again but honestly, i just don't really have the heart to spend time redoing them and then contact everyone on Xfire and tell them to post here. It was already hard enough finding the motivation the first time.
It's a big time commitment. Each video I upload takes about ten hours of editing, encoding and uploading, and trying to organise matches often means being near the computer the entire day waiting to see when people are online. I'm not complaining at all: I was happy to do those things when it was fun, and I was enjoying myself. But today I just realised: it's really just become like a job, taking time away from far more important things.
I wanted to organise a last tournament for fun as the 2011 olympics seemed to be something people enjoyed but this year it ended up causing a lot of arguments and it seemed like the fun was gone. It wasn't really necessary to do another competition. But I'm pleased that some people did play and enjoy their matches and at least some fun was had along the way.
Cheers all & hope you all continue to enjoy playing.
Regards, Mai Mai (Making a difference in 2012)

Well thanks for trying to make it all work and giving up your time for us all. Great videos and effort you've put in to help the conquest community and maximise the fun we have through playing conquest. True, the Olympics havent been too good natured and there have been a lot of arguments which has spoiled a lot of the fun. Shame cause I was looking forward to the army of 3, doubles, clan event and hero events but I guess not everyone would want to finish some of the duels. I hope Valar can have a clan war against some of the teams that we didnt face during the Olympics. I was going to quit conquest after the Olympics but I guess I might stay a bit longer due to them being rather short.
Maybe start the cups again seeing as the Olympics have ended.

If the Olympics dont go ahead would anyone be willing to participate in the cups again cause at the end it was mainly me, Raj, Riki and Taco. A few others joined in for the archer cup like Ding Dong but not many people took part.

I would also try and help but unfortunately I wouldnt be able to make the servers. I could give up some of my time (which I have lots of now) to make organisation threads and update some of the leaderboards. you have time but don't have skills!!! ;D ;D ;D
