I appreciate the responses here in regards to my previous posts, I'm happy to see all the recent discussion. However, I want to be a little more serious now. To be frank, the NU community has been struggling with some issues lately and I want to talk about them. There’s no other thread to post this in so it's going here.
What problems are there with the NU community right now?
Can you please respond to this here and NOT on discord? This way, it clears it up for everyone, not just myself.
As for the VR, it’s also a mess, no one actually ever knows when the next update is, it takes 6 years for the last person to submit their votes, the VR insists on ranking memes out of the blue going against their own rules and I don’t see an equal amount of contribution.
Back to the whole debate here, I liked what you guys did before with community feedback but we haven't heard anything from you guys within months so I thought I would take it into my own hands and to acquire feedback from the NU community. Thank you everyone for answering the polls in the NU room, It was nice to see all the responses. Our voices matter. I hope the NU council takes that into consideration when thinking about what needs to happen next in our tier. Sooner than later. I recently said in my previous posts that most of the community wants to see some actions on blastoise but now I have the numbers for proof.
I don't have the influence to create polls like before so I did this instead. We had a majority thinking Blastoise's presence becomes problematic in this tier. 54% for a suspect or ban and 14% undecided.
As for Sirfetch'd, the results were similar. It needs a suspect too regardless of leek being broken alongside. Wasn't fast enough to make this poll (sorry guys I would have added a leek option to the poll.) There was a slightly larger percentage thinking Sirfetch'd was manageable but the council have already said themselves this is something they want to happen anyway so what's the holdup? Just constant stalling. It’s just “we’re looking into this” response and nothing actually happens.
Lastly, I made one more poll. This one averages at about 6 which isn't necessarily bad but definitely needs improving but no one actually wants to do anything.
We’d have so many more new NU players if we actually got ourselves more stuck in. I've seen some of these people speak about how they don’t feel included. Gonna mention a few names here Oathkeepre Aawin xerovis roxiee Corthius from room auth.
These are just a few names from the top of my head (there are others) but I really appreciate what you guys do in the NU room. You actively make an effort, it's so great talking to guys and how you interact with ALL users in the room alongside the projects you do. You are a shining example of what our community should be about. Good for you and everyone else who is like this.
If you're gonna flame me or meme on me for bringing this issue up just get off my damn post like idc anymore. This is in reference to NUPL and while it's not all that serious it kind of disappointed me to see some peoples reactions and jabs both on eternally / abejas. What's so hard about responding honestly to simple questions anyway? Why can't our tournament hosts act responsible? We never actually got a response from these biased one sided logic between having games after the deadline but allowing illegal games to go through. I don’t even play NUPL. Eternally might not agree with me bringing this up but I think he’s just pretty fed up and has dropped NU to any competitive level permanently. Another contributor bites the dust.
