Re: Suggestions for Sanity!

Physical activity has been helping me a lot. There's an app I like called Push-Ups PRO. I think there is a free version as well. You place your phone on the ground in front of your face and lower yourself until the tip of your nose touches the screen. You do sets of push-ups, escalating your total n...

Nigel, your summation is disingenuous. Nobody, at any point, said that team or league events were bad. IFL skipped a year because it was my opinion that we had overdone it. That I said, in the very first post, IFL would be back in a year's time should have made it clear the league was not considere...

The narrative in 2016 was a lot different from what I'm reading here. In 2016 when it came time for IFL the community was told that it was negative and it was being cancelled. That team based events detracted from regulation and therefore team based events were going to be limited, starting with IFL...

The reasons? Here's some of mine. The stress of running a team and trying to accommodate both *all* the duelists on my team, and hoping to whatever gods you believe in that the opposing teams duelists won't be jerks and be reasonable in scheduling their times, *as well as* show up. A majority are g...

Okay. So this is what I was looking for. Discussion instead of being told asking for discussion was negative (and also it being implied that since I don't volunteer I wasn't contributing anything positive). So if I'm understanding this correctly, you think that IFL being too much of a good thing neg...

Given I made the call, the only person it would be fair to throw that in the face of would be me. Telling anyone to go out and do something positive for the community is not something I've said however - so I think you're "do as I say ..." statement is rather misplaced. I actually was pla...

Do something positive for the community! Aside from discussing why a well liked event was taken away without it being discussed, or opinions actually gauged and weighed prior to the unilateral decision being made. Do as I say and not as I do? Where is this sense of positive community building when ...

I don't see any event that the community enjoys, and does so in such large numbers, as a detriment to the community. Maybe the discussion should move towards how regulation and league dueling can accommodate each other better? There are lots of people who have varying levels of activity in dueling. ...

Without regulation dueling, how long would leagues survive? Yes, the reasons that regulation is currently dead (or slightly revived from it's very dead state) go beyond burn out from leagues. That doesn't change the fact that the leagues do help kill regulation. And if regulation dies, will there b...

I'd kinda like to see the conversation turn from debating whether or not there was burn out to actually discussing it. I don't think the sample size of respondents we have in this thread is representative enough of the entire community that participated in IFL, just from this last season alone, to d...
