For many reasons activity in the bracket has been decreasing lately, I'm not going to get into that for a simple reason; For success you need to focus on the solution, not the problem (A lesson I learned from a wonderful book series called "The Sword of Truth" by Terry Goodkind).
Now boosting Activity
is not hard once you have the formula, platform, the resources, and the help (trust me i'm pretty good at this activity thing) - ANYWAY - Activity is dependent on community interest, if the community is not interested the bracket dies, Bye bye bracket. Now we don't want the bracket to die (maybe some of us just want to watch the bracket burn???) HOWEVER! Most of us don't consciously kill the bracket, and by that I mean not queuing kills the bracket, now you are conscious of it. Even so most of us don't mess with that bracket killing stuff, so that means the people who really want to see this bracket be great, need to do things that interest the community as a whole, what is that you ask? Streamers, Exposure, Events, and Funding, its that simple, allocating and managing these things appropriately can lead to a very intentional and massive increase in activity, and regardless of what anyone thinks; it has done intentionally as well as methodically in the past, and we can make it happen again.
As a some-what separate issue;
Some of you still harbor ill feelings towards me, and to an extent I don't blame anyone for that, the atmosphere that took hold behind the scenes was very real, and very toxic, I caused a large amount of that and I am truly sorry that I tore the community asunder in such a way. Yet I think my sin would be doubled if I don't do everything I can to help compensate for the stress I put on the community, however the very real paradox I face is that I can't do what I do best without the community behind me.
Making the Push, how you can help.
Streaming - Stream, if you are a 19 twink, stream as often as possible, promote XP Off, and the bracket, funding, and events as often as possible. Any streamer can ask for the NWL stream key and stream casual or competitive PvP, at any time.
Funding - GG19 could use some serious help at this point, we have been going for near on a year. With the twinkcup and other circumstances as welll as legion, I would really love to orchestrate a major funding push, but I don't have the large amount of funds necessary at this point, we need more donations.
Exposure - Sending an Email to the 26,000 XP Off Users will help, but the real point of exposure for twinks comes from Streaming, and promoting the community threw your stream, if you've got questions about how to do that, ask.
Events - The NWL cannot be the only structure setting up events other people should set up small scale events, or even larger ones. If the community is interested I will announce a third season of the nineteens Wargaming league in a month or so, it will be very differently structured, it would be only a month long and may include a small fee for teams, and a small prize pool derived from that entry fee. HOWEVER the NWL cannot be the only source of Wargames leading up to the twinkcup, WE NEED TEAMS TO PLAY EACH OTHER OUTSIDE OF THE NWL, The NWL cannot be a crutch.
That being said I need people who are willing to take on the duties much like HB, and Muskie have had for the NWL, I need more people able to stream, commentate, manage overlays and more, If this thread gets a good response I will put out an NWL recruitment thread. Season three will not happen without sufficient support/staff, even if your on the nwl staff, I need to know if your interested in helping still.
