@Ninja There are a lot of people that don't think you should host this, including myself. The problem has been nobody wants to hurt your feelings or make you feel bad in general, so nobody has said anything to you about it. Just know that I'm not trying to go out of my way to target you and abuse your position aimlessly. I'm just trying to communicate what a lot of people have been wanting to say in a way that we can all leave happily with. I'm all for allowing the community to do shit, but between the way you carry yourself on the forums, the way you communicate through text, and some the cringy shit you say in stream chats, I don't think you'll be a good, entertaining host. Or at least not someone we want to show off to the people that watch the stream seeing it for the first time. When you interact with other people in the community it seems like you try too hard to be outgoing, to the point where it can be grating on the community experience. Maybe if you would relax and just try to say your own stuff, or at least handle all the fads the community goes through a little less seriously (by this I mean feel happy to use them , but also just try to communicate with other community members on other interests, either your own or something that you learn about someone that would be a fun thing for both of you to participate in. In other words just don't go overboard with the "memes")
The whole way you're going about setting up a vote match so in advance is no good as well. It may make setting it up easier, but it kills the classic vote experience on the spot, which is part of the entertainment of WYL in the first place. Like, people like to suggest matches IN stream chat, allowing EVERYONE watching to choose what goes on in the event. But in setting up the vote super early, you're just excluding a lot of the people that would otherwise only vote while watching. There are probably a lot of people that won't even know the vote already happened. There are a lot of other people who can host. I would go so far as to suggest that you still host, but have someone that can show you the ropes of being a good entertainer, a good commentator, and see how to handle your self (akin to a mini public speaking class experience.) Like, perhaps if
@mcpeanuts or someone else that has a lot of hosting time were to co-host with you it would be a good thing. But by yourself a lot of people are worried about the quality of the event, seeing as how skullgirls play is slowing down for a lot of people in the first place. I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
