For those of you interested in reaching professional poster status, I am opening the JBA Academy to cultivate the very best writing talent in the community and provide them with full sponsorships towards other message boards. To qualify for this prestigious Academy, you must participate in at least two of the following mediums, along with your regular forum posting: Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Blogspot, Xanga and Friendster. We will provide you with the tools and training to reach your fullest professional posting abilities, and for those skilled enough to complete the rigorous training process, a complimentary copy of Spybot S&D awaits! For those of you who say that my post was unprofessional, I am not a professional writer, I am not a professional PR guy. I was attempting to give the general theme of the thread up until then, and any quotes that looked out of context were taken by me as a representative of larger themes the authors were presenting. Since that though, LordJerith has been a really good face for vVv, and I for one appreciate his efforts and the considerations being made. So, hats off to you LordJerith, I applaud you and your organization's willingness to change to the community's reasonable requests. I hope you all the best. | ||

If they are altering the LAN thing, then I think I will grind myself into Masters so I can apply after all. That was really the only thing that was stopping me. I will say that I still think there should be some incentive for top-performing Academy members beyond free gear, namely at least sending them to a LAN. Even if it's only the top performer, or even if it's multiple people, but you only split the costs. I think having something like this as a goal to strive for will motivate whoever gets selected even more. | ||

But you get free peripherals roughly equal to what you already had after 90 days! | ||

But you get free peripherals roughly equal to what you already had after 90 days! They dropped the LAN requirement, and originally it wasn't even required. | ||

Also I love how you are taking every suggestion into consideration and refining them. Lastly, why not help a player set up a stream that way they get experience playing with viewers watching and it will help bring publicity to vVv, the player, and the sponsors creating a win win situation for everybody. Yes, streaming is included. We want to educate them on revenue streams and how to market themselves. | ||

The only thing that stands out about your clan is the severe immaturity and rage after losing clan wars and ladder games (and now immaturity in a major public forum as well). Let me put this another way... a 'vVv' player has never won any major tournament ever, and you're expecting people to jump at the chance to represent you? Great business model there. YO Haezy, http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=238282 get own you hypocrite. | ||
