I let myself be challenged again by doing a convention.

 

All the way during the convention my show was ranked in the top 5. In 1 hour I did 14 shows, which is the maximum to do, unless you use batteries or diamonds... and yet I failed in the convention.

 

I realy do NOT understand this. What is one supposed to do?

 

Sad and disappointed, Marja.

YOU did not fail the convention.

The convention failed YOU.

 

Every convention sets a bar on "visitors" (all our fans combined) it must get.

If that bar isn't met (which it doesn't because the bar is idiotic lately), the convention fails.

And so all your efforts can be for nothing. It's a gamble.

 

Edit: sorry jan for cross-posting (wave)

Now that my char has been deleted...

I finally am just as relevant to UK2 as Maalena always has been.

Thanks for the explanation (and moral support :) ).

 

I think they should realise people will completely ignore them, which I think is sad, because the concept is good (I think).

All you ever wanted to know about conventions:  https://forum.us.big...page-2#entry870

 

The problem with conventions lately, is that the savvy players never get past the first paragraph of the "How to Run Conventions".


Retired from the game. Not from life.

Well, I'm pretty much done with them... Outside of Temples, I think I haven't participated in a convention for months now. And it looks like others have adopted a similar approach, since the conventions seem to always fail now. So that makes the effort even more pointless...
