^^^ this 100%.I honestly don't care that they got it...in the end it's only a badge and there are far more important things in life.Originally Posted by DomeJohnny
Just my opinion on it...hopefully people will let it go and move on.

No, it is the badge. Long before I posted anything, we got F you posts. And people are focusing on only one portion of my post. Nevermind the fact that we were offended. Nevermind the fact that we were frustrated. If just once someone had taken the time to message one of us, we would have said, no, Saturday is a bad day for us. Don't plan on us being there. We also would have said that we had actually prepped for the 250 badge, before it got reduced, so, we had this planned before anyone else, even before the last few failed attempts. But, the reason we didn't just do it months ago was because it was an in-person event. If that is elitist to you, then we have a different definition of elitist. I don't expect events and conventions that I cannot attend to account for me in their plans, no matter the event, and no, I never considered anyone that wasn't attending. I spend months planning, and I plan for that specific year's attendance. If anyone that is currently mad decides to attend in the future, I will do everything I can to ensure your enjoyment. But, if not, I won't. I won't be mad that you don't attend. I won't be offended that you think the event is dumb. I won't begrudge you for selecting another way to spend your time and money. But, I also won't plan for you.It's not the badge that's the issue people have. It was the intent of people in the community towards others. Close the thread or not, that attitude and the feelings it stirred up will not just go away for some people.Originally Posted by HyruleBalverine

So, what I get out of this is that if someone had PMed you about plans we didn't know you were making in order to ask specifically for you to help with the plans being arranged in the forums, a thread which you had actually commented in during the planning stage, you would have helped.No, it is the badge.

My comments inflamed people, and those people are perfectly fine to feel whatever they are feeling. But, we were inflamed previously. And again, if anyone had reached out to one of us to even consider our plans, we would have acted differently, but, we were offended, and we did it the way we did it because we wanted to.
Even now, no one has even asked for help, the implication is that we should have just been there for the community, no matter what our plans. If someone had just asked, this would have not been an issue. It is perfectly duplicable, at least, it is until Eric decides if he wants to change the criteria. This will be at least the third badge on the site that has been gamed (and I do agree with suggestions made about changing it, we did absolutely game this badge), and Eric has addressed those badges by tweaking the requirements, but, on neither previous occasion did Eric removed the awarded badges.
Yes, the poll was part of our motivation, but not entirely. And it was stated that way originally. That's it. I have not said anything since Saturday, trying to let it go away. And I will not say anything else, unless someone DMs with a specific request.
Good night.

Would you care to tell me when I commented in the thread for this particular Saturday during the planning stage?So, what I get out of this is that if someone had PMed you about plans we didn't know you were making in order to ask specifically for you to help with the plans being arranged in the forums, a thread which you had actually commented in during the planning stage, you would have helped.Originally Posted by HyruleBalverine

You never bothered to post in http://www.gamertagnation.com/genera...-2300-cet.html either to say that the time would not suit you guys. The topic was made in time, so we could have easily shifted the agreed date and time.Even now, no one has even asked for help, the implication is that we should have just been there for the community, no matter what our plans. If someone had just asked, this would have not been an issue.Originally Posted by futiles

LMAO!!!!!For some comedic relief to all this drama, Bozack (who graciously hosts us each year at his store) took me out to the local mountain bike park and introduced me to a floating bridge to try to bike over. Here is the result:Originally Posted by Elem3ntal80
Like any difficult achievement, I did try again and was successful!
