Guys,

We know you like big LAN events, and we know you like helping ACTGN become more successful.

(Well, we *think* you like doing that anyway!)

"How can I help?" I hear you ask.

Easy!

Download our poster, print it out, and pin it up at your school, uni, ressie hall, local pub, workplace, toilet door, whatever! Or, print lots of A5 "flyers", and distribute them any way you see fit (legally, of course - don't plaster them up where you're not allowed, or leave them on car windows. Letterbox drops are OK though.)

The poster is here:

I don't understand the minds of people on this forum who can only criticise other peoples efforts.

I believe we asked for ACTGN people to design a poster for us, we had no replies. I asked a friend of mine (and ACTGN regular) to come up with a poster (instead of the crappy Word Art stuff I usually end up doing). He puts in an effort in his very busy schedule to help me out and you people just criticise it. If you can do better then why can’t you just say “not bad, but how about this..”

Rob has done heaps of graphics design work for us (ACTGN website, ACTGN Newsletter, and the VIP cards) – I personally love all the work he has done for us, and am disappointed that people who can’t do better come out with crap like “look like someone got photoshop for christmas!”

After crap like that he has decided to withdraw his services, I can understand, if I was attacked whenever I gave up my personal time for free to do stuff which was critiqued and criticised about I would quit to… oh wait I do give up my time for free for ACTGN, and we usually do get abused.

If you can do better then do it and show us, if you can’t then just shut up.

P.S. Rob congrats on the birth of your second child last weekend, two kids under 20 months old will make you even busier.

Haha! Looks like someone can't take constructive critism very well.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, someone ELSE did a conversion to black and white to make it more readable. Where was the thanks for that?

If you think his work is good, great. If other people think it's not so good, that's their own opinion to which they are entitled.

I actually agree that it was a bit of overkill... Should have been a lot simpler to read. I didn't even know it was dudes at tables playing games until the black and white conversion was done!

I congratulate people who dedicate their own time to stuff like this but that doesn't mean the stuff their doing is automatically good.

You are correct, Mr Imp-myster. However, there is a difference between insulting and constructive criticism (aka constructive comments). I think the point here is although one or two of the comments were constructive, the delivery of some could have been better. Not only that, some of the comments were down-right derogatory.

And give me some of that damn greezy chicken in your sig, Imp.

Actually, we'd been given a black and white version originally. I didn't post it, as I figured most people would just print the colour version on a black and white printer, and by the time they'd photocopied it, the contrast would be suitable.

What? No KFCs in Samoa? I would send you some, but I doubt it would be worth eating by the time it got to you!

Besides, like me you're fat enough already! Well, last time I saw you you were. Now that you have house slaves, things may have gotten worse :P
