First of, I can sticky the topic of alberto, but I personally will not assign or support any kind of teaching. You may discuss your ideas, games etc, but there won't be any "seminars" for commanding, it's PB. Plus, I won't take into consideration such discussions from admins while they're actually supposed to know all the basics of commanding, you can easily guide the new or inexperienced players to learn by giving the example. Show them how to command, go CT(or put someone else experienced) and put a new guy next to you/him, simple as that.
Secondly, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I will NOT be taking many map suggestions into consideration, hardly any actually. Simply because we've tried 500 different maps and combinations, and I've personally concluded that maps is not the actual activity problem. I will make a few last changes soon, but they will stay for an amount of time.
Thirdly, overall, it's neither the "bad commanding" not the "maps" that have made activity drop over the last 1-2 years, it's cause 1) interest on CS keeps dropping every year, 2) many old players on who the community was based on the past years have quit, 3) the attacks and issues we've had the past months, 4) we do not play JB anymore for "fun", but rather to have some trouble, destroy the CTs/admins' day, and so on... I've received hundreds of suggestions and complaints of any kind(especially those maps you keep talking about) these months and even 2 years back when I was SM again, took 80% of them into consideration, and most of the people that brought those up haven't played more than 5 hours of PB for years. So I apologise if I seem "ignorant", but I have a purpose, and it's to start looking towards things that could actually change something, instead of playing around with maps.
Put it simply, what I've said over 100 times, we got 150 members connecting daily, and a playerbase of 15-20 people. So you have 50 complainers but not even half actually play.
Forthly, the tournaments. I fully agree with everyone here, the tournaments are important, and it's on me to process that, but the recent attacks were not helping. i did make an effort to bring a clanwar, but received almost no interest, and you understand that if you spend hours preparing something and it doesn't happen you kinda lose your mood. As soon as the attacks stop, I will run the events again. I promise you, I do have plenty of ideas, and sooner or later they WILL happen.
Last but not least, the most important thing, the attacks. It's been long since we promised a solution, I know that, but we were not lying. I'd like to thank
@Sneaky~RoN for his efforts and hard work and I can finally say the solution will probably be applied tomorrow. More info is about to come, and this issue will possibly end once and for all.
I don't think there's anything further to discuss, but I'll leave it open a little longer just for any missing parts someone'd like to fill.
