    I'll get this out of the way right now - I didn't make this thread because I thought anybody wanted to attack me or anything like that. Even if that were the case, I can handle some comments that are negative, I've been through much worse before. Second, some of the comments I have heard, not just the ones in this thread, about me trying to suck up to Joe, about the tshirts being for sale, all of that is just ridiculous. I have no reason to suck up to Joe. Im not, nor have I ever made any attempt to get back on staff. Joe and I have spoken a few times and I think we are all moving past things.

    I was not aware that there would be such issues with this challenge, but there were so this thread was necessary. I'll explain a little more about my thoughts and such, in order to clear the air.

    The tshirt design was meant as something fun and creative to do. You could have drawn something yourself, you could have looked around for bad ass fonts to use with a nifty background. You could have even customized a particular pet to make it look like something that encompasses all of ck. Idk, you could have done anything lol. Idk where the issue with artists wanting credit if the shirts were going to be sold came from. You're reading far too deep into this GAME. None of these challenges came from anywhere but me. I asked @(you need an account to see links) for some suggestions about challenges that were used on other sites but everything so far has been my idea from stuff I've put together.

    The video/referral contest was something I came up with on the fly. I figured anybody could make a video. You don't even have to be good at graphics. You could showcase all kinds of things. You could even advertise a giveaway to pull people to ck. I didn't think going out to try and get more people to join the community would be an issue either. It doesn't take much effort. You could advertise on site, make YouTube vids, advertise on other online gaming sites, other forums, anywhere. I never thought showing off all the great activities, discussions and people on ck in an attempt to attract more great people would have been that difficult.

    One of the main reasons things are sort of tossed together was this competition started far later than I intended it to. Staff thought there were too many competitions going on around Christmas, when I wanted it to start, so it got pushed until after the new year. I had time back then to devote to in depth things, time that I currently do not. I know many people here are busy busy as well but it took awhile to get everything ready behind the scenes initially and then each week to set things up, score them, answer questions and wrap it all up


    As of right now, seems like most people don't like the challenge so Id rather not make you do something you don't enjoy. I wanted to get a little something going because in all the years I have been here, which is all of them lol, this time of year is usually the slowest. Something other than post this many times and win, or pick a number and win happen all the time and they are incredibly easy. Something like this just required more time than it seems I can give on my own atm.

    Sooooo with that, I think Im going to put survivor on hold and reevaluate things a bit. Kylae offered to help run things with me, as have a few other people. Idk whether im going to completely reopen sign ups or what will happen. I don't want to start any arguments or cause any unwanted tension. So let's just take a step back, give me a little time to look over things and plan a bit, then cKvivor will be back
    I'll leave this open for now!
    What's my definition of success?
    Creating something no one else can
    Being brave enough to dream big
    Grindin' when you're told to just quit
    Giving more when you got nothin' left

    Just wanted to say again we really appreciate you taking the time to do this and I would be happy to help you out as well. Even by having another person take mails for you, makes your life easier.

    And by putting this on hold, do you mean doing it at a later date, and with a re-roll of teams? Chances are people may not even be active later on to compete, and I'm sure others still want to join.

    Thank you thank you. Gonna take some time to go over things again. This season will basically be a wash for the time being, unless by some miracle I organize everything again. Might be better to just start fresh though. Idk yet

    I agree 10000000%.
    I know you can handle the "negative" comments, Andrew, but we really do appreciate all the hard work you've done, even if it feels like we didn't.
    I've run events in the past for guilds and what-not, and nobody even understands the amount of time it takes to coordinate tasks and activities for as many people as we had going into this - even what seems like the simplest tasks.
    Comparing all the team answers to everyone's individual answers in that last challenge?
    Ugh, I don't even want to think about it.
    But you were up to the challenge.

    If there's any way I can help out in the future, just holler.
    Sad to see it put on hold, but I understand the frustration and honestly, with the tension right now over the game, it's just kinda silly.

    ...I just wanted to design a shirt with some bullshit quote & bad clipart and I'd have been thrilled to rep cK with it, just for the record.
