That means, if you fuck it up you fail and deserve the wraith you receive. It's just part of the game - getting people hyped up for a week TSL style and then flopping is unacceptable. I can appreciate that its hard and that sometimes not everything goes to plan but if you can't handle the heat of your own week long count down and then deliver.....very very disappointing. I don't agree with this at all. In SC2GG's case, the project was ready to go and at the very last moment; something came up and it threw everything off. I don't remember if it was Chill or Plexa, but in the TL vs YG English cast, one of them said something along the lines of: My suggestion to SC2GG & iCCup would be to finish the project entirely, then create the hype, then release the product; it's apparent you guys cannot handle time lines. If SC2GG or iCCup had something they made for their community and it was 100% done, why would either site create a countdown or start hype threads then? Why not just release the project and let people use it? IMO, the entire point of hyping something up is to let people know something big is in the works and that it will be coming soon. TeamLiquid has had cases of failing to start their broadcasts on time and having to delay many times. If someone is doing something for free and circumstances out of their control result in their project having to be delayed, no one deserves any shit at all. For you to say, "If you can't handle the heat.." is fucking retarded. Unk already posted that something happened with optic cables. There is nothing he could have done. I think before you start to point your finger in the direction of other sites, you should look at this whole fucking thread and realize that there hasn't been anything on any rival site that compares to the ignorance that has piled up here. | ||

Isn't it already 00:30? | ||

Are you seriously comparing a 30 minute delay to cancelling a project? People don't like to be baited, even if it's free. If there's a countdown, there's some respsonsibility to be on time with it. I think 30 minutes is long enough that we deserve some shit for always doing it, despite try out best, but it's certainly not on the same order of magnitude as this. People aren't giving him shit for the optical cables, they're (justifiably) giving him shit for saying "we never said THIS monday." | ||

I think before you start to point your finger in the direction of other sites, you should look at this whole fucking thread and realize that there hasn't been anything on any rival site that compares to the ignorance that has piled up here. TL broadcasts are up within 20 minutes and posts are made concerning the issues immediately. You also don't see TL staff bitching when everyone is asking "WHY ISN'T THE STREAM UP YET!!" They just answer politely and maintain composure (and even have the courtesy to apologise). Broadcasts also aren't mysterious countdowns where everyone is getting their hopes up... They're just 'oh, cool, now I know how many hours I have to wait without having to adjust for time zones. Perfect.' When TL has done it's big mystery countdowns, they delivered and didn't take huge risks (it seemed). Everyone knows broadcasting can be a bit troublesome, but a newspost announcing some cool new service should be fairly easy and reliable for any website. Comparing what these sites do compared to TL is not even a contest. TL is always much more professional, on-time, and mature. | ||

Refer to my earlier post, this situation should've been handled with a "we have optical cable trouble outside of our control at our server location, sorry for the inconvenience we will update you as soon as we can get the site up and running" instead of jokes, hidden information, and arguing with complainers. | ||
