Just wanted to share with you my 2 lil cents,
after your recent exchange with some of the players
on why people are so upset, and pls feel free to pass it along.
you see, the most passionate anger often originates from love.
people love this game and would LOVE the cc clashes,
if it was done right and w/ good faith.
if you'd throw away the quantity factor of both CC pass,
or the number of members in participating CC's,
it would've been an exciting event that e1 would've been waiting for.
If you could just put aside corporate greed,
and make it single play (still can require CC pass for it if you'd like),
and instead of this modified stableford system, maybe make an
algorithm to calculate the round average of all the scores posted
(and a penalty score for WD's), so that size of CC's wont be an advantage,
and really base it all on the Club's average game skill compared to other clubs,
well then, we'd actually have ourselves a CC Clash.
but instead of doing that, and fixing long overdue issues,
you invest time and resources on complete nonsense
like gnomes and puppies, when you can use that time and manpower
to better the game's mechanics, and add new products and avatars.
when you first announced CC clashes, it sounded like a great thing,
a real chance for a cc to come together and battle it out to the top,
but instead you gave in to greed, and took out the skill factor all together.
So next time you scratch your head thinking
about why so many players despise the CC clashes,
maybe consider some of what I wrote about here,
and maybe, just maybe pass it on to some of the execs,
and make it about golf and skill again.
and now, a funny interlude (a must watch!)
