It's March... where's the Mayhem?

[TheOtter]

I can't say I'll really miss it. While it was fun to fill out a bracket and such, these forums were insane. I typically don't post much (I lurk and read everything instead) but I sort of avoided the site during that time.

 

[Idlemessiah]

I know it's the biggest pain in the ass after ZP upload time but it IS tradition. I will be sad if it doesn't happen. Still, nothing will beat the year of the Zynga plague. I don't think I've ever seen these forums so united for one cause.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Ehhhh, I bothered with it when I felt like it. I liked getting fancy badges for it. I'm not shedding any tears, however.

I'm glad it isn't happening.

It always turns the forums into Retarded Fanboy Central.

March Mayhem will not be running this year. Other than that I do not know any more information on the subject.

What a shame.

And here I was waiting for another Zynga-pocalypse.

Who knows, maybe I'll never get to see another one.

What a shame.

Calumon: We're still here? :S

What's with all the banned people in this thread? Did I miss something?

 

[JoJo]

Shame, I always enjoyed the competition and it brought fresh blood to these parts. Curious now why they aren't running it.

I joined late July so I've never experienced March Mayhem. What was involved and what was the appeal?

Escapist becomes ban central [small](funny, given the current pubclub gimmick)[/small]

More people are banned during the month of March, than any other month of the year.

I can tell, just look at this thread alone. Five in less than one page! Thats faster than they cleaned out the R&P forum after the election.

Edit: six now. I cant even post fast enough to keep up.

You ain't the only one seeing it, Heavy. I'm seeing it, too. So, we might have an answer as to where the mayhem is.

Although, to be quite honest, I ROFL'd when I saw banned for post in thread "How To Shove A Porcupine Up Your @$$".

Whomever is doing it (and I fully expect it to be you, World Breaker. Yeah, you know who I'm talking about) needs to include a banned for post in thread "Tips On How To Headbutt A Belt Sander" or "Here's How You Comb Your Testicles With a Rabid Wolverine IRL".

 

[Souplex]

We're better off without it.
It takes over the whole site.
It makes everyone angry.
No good developer has ever won.

 

[Fasckira]

I personally think it'd be kind of cool to have it so that once a month you can go through all the devs with a "Like/Dislike" vote, keeping a running leaderboard. That way its not pitting a certain dev against another which never seemed fair to me.

 

[karma9308]

I was kinda interested in particpating in one considering how much I've seen people talking about it. Oh well.

That sounds incredibly fun! I can think of a couple of posters who are hanging on by their fingernails.

Let's do it ourselves!

Like...that.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

Gosh dang it Escapist, what's going on? First, you get rid of the Video Contest, now you get rid of March Mayhem? Are you running low on funding or something? It's okay if you are...

 

[Basement Cat]

Derp. Miss-post. Pay this no mind.

Move along...move along.

It's some silly Pub Club thing apparently.

Anyways, while I will miss it, I can see perhaps why they haven't bothered with it. Place tends to turn into a warzone.

 

[Phlakes]

Whoever decided to not have it this year made a brilliant call.

There's absolutely no way, under any circumstances, with 100% confidence, it would end up as anything but a massive flame war. It was already bad enough the last couple of years, in 2013's gaming community it would be like the Republican side of the House voting on the best gay rights bill.

 

[Nouw]

Can't say I'll miss it but it does have some sentimental value for me. It was the reason I came here, in suppourt of Relic Entertainment.

 

[Best of the 3]

That's a shame, I rather liked the picture wars it brought on. My favourite being Bioware vs Valve at the time of Portal 2 and ME2. Good times

O.O

That particular ban reminds me of that "How To Serve Man" thing. I must say, I'm starting to warm to this playful banning/promotion thing.

Well done.

Holy crap, I haven't seen you two in like forver!

Kinda surprised they canned the whole March Madness thing but at the same time maybe it's for the best, it does make everything go crazy around here with all the fanboys coming out of the woodworks. Does anyone have that Goat badge working for them? Mine isn't doing a thing for at all.
