On another note, why not just find something that the community needs and do it? SCII has a lot of writers from what I gather but there must be something else that the community needs (maybe player bios or BRs etc...). Let your imagination soar! :D | ||

I'm not an amazing writer or anything (though I'm sure I would improve), I'm really not sure what I could do. I want to do something for esports but what that is I don't really know since I have no real skills  | ||

I mostly hang around the BW part of TL so there's always stuff to do. I mostly did stuff like this though there haven't been any BW tournament recently: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/464652-41-starleague-ro16-recap Maybe summary videos? Recaps for smaller tournaments? Write some battlereport for an amazing series with pics and gifs? Organize a fun tournament like LRSL? Write hype blogs though guess you'll have to wait for PL for that lol. I'm sure there's more, just off the top of my head. | ||

Man, thinking about all that makes me realize how little I really know about the scene, so I don't know if I could really do those things well :/ Running tournaments would be cool, though I'm not sure how I could make it work when I'm already doing a full time job. I guess there's very little I can do | ||

A weekend one maybe but it's a lot more difficult that it was when I was only working parttime. | ||

I guess there's very little I can do Then start simple: write a battlereport blog about one of you own SCII games (or BW if you've played some before). Basically, talk about the game. Make it sound exciting! Make us feel your struggles! your triumph! etc... You can see my blogs for some examples. Templar has some as well, Stratos had a couple of nice BW BRs and a lots of other TL members write them. Once you make one, work on getting better at writing them and translate that over to recaping tournaments or something. That should be a good start imo  edit: Also, LP always needs work so you can always do that! | ||

But there's a lot of things left to do if you look beyond that. For example updating player pages. Most of the articles about players are outdated to varying extents. I looked at MMA's page for example, and there's not details about his career in 2014. Nothing about his WCS Europe Season 1 second place, his WCS Europe Season 3 title, nothing about his Dreamhack title, nothing about his Blizzcon second place. It would be nice to know more about his path through these tournaments, the playstyles he exhibited, what happened to him in real life etc. That's somewhere you can contribute. | ||

That's all true... but I'm so bad at remembering stuff that I'd be terrible at it. I'm making excuses now I think. I want to help but there's nothing I can help with. Once again, for the millionth time, sorry everyone edit: turns out there's no way to close blogs? this was a bad idea, sorry | ||

At least you want to contribute unlike slackers like me, and attempting something is never a mistake (ok it is sometimes, but not in this). And you definitely can do something, you just need to find what. | ||

http://toprightnews.com/?p=2872 To the point, if you really want to contribute in whatever way, you need to lower your standards and/or compromise considering the circumstances you're laying out, including how valuable or how big YOUR contributions should be. Personally speaking, I randomly volunteered last year for NASL's production of the WCS America Season 2 finals and I haven't done anything since; And I'm more than okay with that, because although I COULD be doing more, and COULD have done more since then, at least I did something. Not trying to be religious here, but have you ever heard of the bible story where Jesus witnessed a poor woman contributing a very small amount of money comparatively to the rich donations? The intention, heart, spirit of the action, whatever is good. Even if you think making an edit on Liquipedia is only a small drop in the bucket, it's one drop more than before. | ||

IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING BUT LACK KNOWLEDGE, ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE FIRST. YOU HAVE THE WHOLE INTERNET TO GATHER INFO FROM Who cares if you can't write as well as you want to, or if you're not as knowledgeable about the scene as you want to be? Write to the best of your ability and figure out what info you need to update a player profile. If you screw up that badly, someone will tell you why you were wrong and you can learn from it. Moping about not being good enough wont help you become good enough. Sometimes I want to hug you SGTK. Sometimes I want to slap you, though. | ||

Honestly, I really could use the hug and slap about equally as much. But your right, I need to stop setting such barriers for myself. I've always struggled with confidence issues and just need to try stuff sometimes. When I get back home from my vacation, I'm gonna really try and figure something out! Thanks | ||

Thanks np, the worst that happens is being rejected. The worst case outcome of rejection in this context is having your feelings/pride hurt. Are you going to let hurt feelings or damaged pride stop you from being happy? I hope not. Who cares what anyone else thinks? Confidence starts and ends with you. You're on vacation? Get off TL for 5 goddamn minutes you have enough posts to last you a while. Go have some fun or something. We wont forget about you! also you're* | ||
