This thread has been a long time coming from me...
PLEASE NOTE I'M NOT WRITING THIS ON MY BEHALF!!!!
Anyone involved with WOF knows how disgusted I was that it took so long for FPC to give the prizes in the first place. It was 3 months for those that don't know. Also for those not informed, WOF is an event that goes on for over 6 months. People from all over the world hunt their hearts out for 3 hours about every other weekend for the pride of their country. This event makes a lot of money for MA and FPC. As much or probably more than any other single event.
Recently their was the Miss Calypso contest. Another great ongoing event, including wonderful deserved prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. After seeing yet another prize discrepancy between this event and WOF I had to write this thread.
Over the years as WOF has progressed, so has the prizes. Initially I think it was just the jackets. For the 2009 WOF event:
1st place received jackets, a 1st place 2009 wall certificate and an L gun.
2nd place received a 2nd place 2009 wall certificate and and lesser value L gun.
3rd place I believe received a 3rd place 2009 wall certificate and least value L gun.
This year... first place received jackets (3 months late). That's it. Nothing at all for 2nd and 3rd place.
As a member of the winning 2010 USA team I received a jacket from FPC. I was traded that jacket by Hanne. At the same time Della and Wildman were doing their radio show during the prize ceremony. As previous participants in WOF they figured there was going to be something handed out to 2nd and 3rd place and announced that on the radio. I messaged Della really quick and told her I didn't think they were going to get anything. I still had a pm chat window open with Hanne due to the trade and I asked her about 2nd and 3rd place. She thanked me for reminding her, then did a short gratz in open chat to them. That was it.
Now, I don't know about the weapons last year and where they came from but the jackets and certificates certainly came from MA. (FPC)
I am asking Hanne, Marco or? for a complete public and full explanation about WOF.
Why did it take so long for the prizes at all when FPC knew months in advance when the prize ceremony would be?
Why were the prizes less this year?
Why didn't 2nd and 3rd place get anything at all?
How is this going to be done next year and will the prizes be announced in advance?
Shouldn't the prizes for events be announced in advance?
How many teams get prizes?
I've been upset about this since the prize ceremony, no not for me, I got my jacket although I thought I'd get a certificate but for the 2nd and 3rd place teams. They worked very hard and deserved SOMETHING for their efforts!!!
WOF 2011 will be coming up soon. I'd personally like an answer to my questions before I decide to commit to a 6 month event again. I'm positive that there are many other dedicated WOF participants wanting to know the answers too.
Please do not move this thread to the WOF section. I posted it here so the community as a whole could join in the discussion about events, prizes and how things should / could / might be done.
Thanks,
Casay
