Fuck events.

[DWARFINATORclock]

These days all you guys want to do is events, why can't you just think of your own theme for a movie and make and submit it whenever you want? I've gotten to the point where I don't even want to participate in an event anymore because every day I get 10 people telling me to join 10 different shitty events.

[Beret]

ouch.

Events can also provide a foundation for individual expression

[PropagandaClock]

I like events but I can agree that there can be an overflow of events at times, it should be a carrot and not a neccecity for producing works of flash

[DWARFINATORclock]

Events can also provide a foundation for individual expression

So can normal animation, and it would help people to think of subjects for their movies instead of all doing the same thing. Clockday, Halloween and Christmas are fun, but lately there has been an event overload and I'm annoyed by it.

Events are fun when there aren't 20 events a month.

I think events inspire people to make flash who normally wouldn't motivate themselves because of the community spirit thing. But I can agree with Dwarf that people should be able to motivate themselves.

That and they really open up the fact that we are a group.

If I want to do individual art, I try to do it outside of the CC.

But we don't need a million of them

Then you seem to have an issue with individuals and their lack of originality, and not the events themselves or their frequency, for there is just as much chance for an individual to express himself in a unique and creative manner as part of a group event, as there is with a solo project.

As ChesireClock rightly pointed out, we are a group, and not to offer group events is to neglect one of our main strengths.

[DWARFINATORclock]

I thought we animated for fun.

And yes I also have a problem with individuals and their lack of originality.

I did not say that events are bad, I just think this many events are bad. It's like people are making up events just for making up events.

Get into CCTV3 and fuck the rest of them

CCTV is one of the good kind of events.

If it makes you feel any better, I haven't submitted any flash movies to Newgrounds since the beginning of the year :-).

Why would that make me feel any better?

[BilliardBall10]

i suggest writing contests, and pic contests, would take our minds off flash contests for while, lads

[Blue]

I do not participate in events... I prefer the idea of making my own events... in my head... yay.

Dwarf says there are too many events, so your solution is to start up more events? Why didn't I think of that?!

[AlbinoClock]

MAKE FLASH OK

[PropagandaClock]

CCTV is one of the good kind of events.

CCTV lets people come togheter and make small clips of flashes, everyone can and should participate
Its a perfect example of a good event!

[Beret]

Heh, I need to get started on my CCTV3 part. But I can't this week. I'm in Quebec city.
