Which communities get coins as prizes in their official tournaments?

@dwilson said in Which communities get coins as prizes in their official tournaments?:
I am not certain whether this only happened during the 'Torneo de la Hispanidad' or if it has happened in other events organised by the Spanish Community; as I said I can only talk about what I remember from my own experience.
I also remember a "Torneo de Navidad - Maestros" organised by the Spanish Staff, 2 or 3 years ago (can't remember that), where the best 3 received premium tickets.

@lafuens Thank you for your help. Thus, if this is something that already existed a few years ago it is something that should have been kept throughout the last few years in the Hispanic Community. However, it wasnt. I dont want to blame anyone for it but it seems there has been a lack of continuity in the way things were being done.
This thread should help unify the criteria for prizes and conditions for all CMs. The Staff above them should keep an eye on the way they develop their tasks. It should be a call of attention to improve OSM conditions for all managers from all communities.
I must thank my beloved Italian group The Rebels' Yell for letting me discover more things from OSM and making me want to acquire a real world view of OSM in its different Communities. Very often, there is an endogamic vision of the game and it doesnt help see solutions taken or adopted in other Communities. After having a close view at all Forums I have realized that the right hand doesnt know what the left hand is doing. I dont know if you understand me, but we should bear in mind that there should be a closer contact amongst all international members of the World Staff and all the CMs. All CMs should be able to get information from all World Staff and not just from one or two.
As far as I have seen, language should not be a barrier for communication. CMs should be able to communicate in English with all the Staff sbove them. Otherwise, this might lead to misinformation, unequality, unfairness and, eventually, chaos, as this thread has proved.
I love this game more than any other. Not only have I tried to be helpful to the rest of managers, but also to OSM Staff at all levels and, eventually, to GAMEBASICS, which must show it is a reliable enterprise.

@rafael-1974 Are you not forgetting something?
It's a privilege to have teams that organize events for prizes, it's not an obligation.
They are all organized by volunteers of the teams, who put extra work in it next to their normal life and team tasks.If you would like to see an event with prices, just contact the CM from that team and they will see what can be done.
All of our CM's and above know perfectly what they are doing and how to lead their teams or how to run their tasks.
So what your doing here is making conclusions, but it's not based on facts.
-
@hespera Are you sure? If I were you I would not be so assertive. Who are you trying to defend and why? A conscious recklessness mustnt be allowed.
If my conclusions disturb you, you should first ask the evidences that prove my conclusions.
-
@rafael-1974 Yes, I'm sure about that.
Don't need to defend anybody it's just a fact.
So what are we going to do here, this topic has been kept open to see somekind of disusscion.
If you only going to use it to doubt any of our officials from our teams then there's no point in leaving this topic open. -
Is this the way you act? Are you threatening me?
This thread has been opened for a few days just to make information arise. More information should arise as well in the next few days so there is no point in closing it. There are still many questions without answers so dont act in such a way because it means that as @DWilson said this thread must be taken seriously by all of us as a way to learn from everybody's mistakes and as a way to prevent many other questions from being done.
-
@Hespera I don't doubt from them. You act in an extremely defensive way. When people act like that is because they hide something. What are you afraid of? Information is necessary and veiling part of the game only leads to obscurantism.
When I opened the thread I wanted to get answers to my questions. Not all my questions have been answered. I don't know what you are afraid of. This thread has turned into an intetesting debate and has revealed strange situations.
How long is it since OSM gives coins as prizes, for example?
How can it be done so that all Communities implement this system?
How is it that you, who now knows it, doesnt use it? Why isnt there an English National Championship? One post before asked for it, for example.
Thank you
-
@rafael-1974 Your the one who is offensive, if you have questions you can just ask them instead of going the wrong way by going after any of our team members.
This is something that is there for several years already, a view competitions a year can have prices, so there is a limit to them.
It's not possible that all communities implement this system, since we are not obligated to do so.
Yeah I know about it, but I'm staff, not CM and those are the once who handle that stuff.
We are simply to busy with personal life,osm tasks etc and if you organize such an event it must be done good or otherwise it's better not to organize it at all.
I've mentiont it before we are all volunteers, and that kind of events costs a lot of extra time to organize.
-
@Hespera touched the right point: personal life, osm tasks etc
@rafael-1974 i answer you because i've seen the effort made Italian FMs who's organizing Italian Championship, i think this is the real reason because of there aren't a lot of Official Tournaments in OSM. I guarantee you that is very challenging to organize such a tournament, first of all the Team have to be very joined, without internal stuffs. Then must have a lot of free time to help in the organization and finally they have to be very patient because you can bet that OSM players want only to play, and they want the meal ready

It's really nice to see how much our community appreciates the effort that the ones from them spend their time helping them enjoying OSM....
When this topic was created I (yes, I saw it since day 1) allowed it to stay open, because I wanted to have an idea how community feels about it, but looking back now, I think that it should have been shut down from start.
I'm gonna do it now, but before I'm going to provide some info!
As you all know, OSM is split in several communities (14 if we include the English/International one). Every community has it's own Support team, managed by volunteers. Those volunteers, help OSM providing support to our users on their native language and also on keep community active by organizing competitions, forum activities... etc.
It's not manadatory that they do all this. Every community may decide on what to do based on the feedback they get from community and on the availability they have to coordinate those events.Prize events, need permission from Gamebasics. For those prize events, Community Managers have to present the whole draft of the event aswel as the 'royalties' they are requesting (free leagues, BC prizes). Those events have to meet some criteria, if they don't meet the criteria, they are rejected.
Instead of complaint about everything, undermine the work that Support members do to provide you guys the best OSM experience possible, why don't you join them and try to help them? After being there and know how much work is needed and how mentality strong these support members have to be to listen these non-sense comments after spend several hours 'working' for them.... After all that, then you'll be entitled to criticise, because you've proven that you're able to do it better, but I'm pretty sure that after go through all this, you'll never think on criticise their work again!
This being said, have fun, help your community support members (and all other teams) and make their life easier!
