1)We feel that people who use only the forum have no idea how the community has been progressing on IRC. Which clearly, we need to change and get more people involved overall.
2)We were thinking of public open discussions? Much like city council meetings in the US. We could do something like this where we discuss things important to OPU that maybe not all the public knows about but should. These would be run on the forums.
We want more involvement, polls etc.
3)User made tournaments or have all tournaments organised centrally.
1) find some people who are willing to go through all the fluff and post the latest developments of the community. Whenever I'm on IRC and other people are there, all I see is talk about how to set up a router so you can play or some coding string that is not related to the OP2 code
2)Have you ever seen one of our city council meetings? Half the time, not all the issues are gotten to because someone wants to drag out an issue that's been over with.
3)User made mini-tournaments would be fun. Would be great way to spread new maps and get more of them used. I always find it sad when I'm playing with someone who has been playing for little more than a year and the only map they've actually been ble to see is pie. Let's get som LR, SR, RR, and Midas tournies going, there is more to the game than, as would be put by Beavis and Butthead, "yeah yeah, I just, like, um, totaly kicked your @$$" "Shut up, beavis!"
(hmmm...I seem to recall an actuall situation similar to that on IRC :heh: )
