I'd like to say my real issue here is that all of you worship the ground randomize walks on, and yes he's built a nice site. But he's got hundreds of us very invested in this site and it wouldn't kill him to make even QUARTERLY blogs about the direction this site is headed instead of trying to peddle his apps off on us. #SorryNotSorry
in my 6 years and 2 months on this site now, the only notable updates have been:
- Castings keys, apples, and challenges.
- Shops / Designs
- Frats
- The Duel, and then not the duel.
- Frookies, Survivor, and THG.
- 5 new color levels
- Tags in blogs
- Hof from 25 to 20
and thats about it. For 6 years, that really doesn't feel like as much as it should.
Danger but literally he never listens to feedback. I'm pretty sure the majority opinion of higher levels would be to axe fastings and bring back the duel.
Aquamarine Every game admin picks and chooses what he listens to from his players, he probably wants more new players. They're the ones who usually spend money on games anyway
EX-FREAKING-CUSE-ME-Noooooobie, Aquamarine, but he has done a lot of improvements over the years.
There are 7 games on this website! Started off with 2, now 7!
Castings has developed so much over the years.
He implemented mini games, he's improved the blogging system by a huge mile, he's improved the presentation of profiles, he added a moderation account which does work.
He does listen to us, but no one gives him credit for it.
Think about Crookies and Frookies.
When Rando changed Rookies into Frookies, me and many others haaaaated it, and some loved it. Because he listened to BOTH sides, he put both here. He removed the Duel for the same reason he removed the language options in games - They were taking days to fill!
Rando is a BAMF and this website gives us so much freedom and creativity. There are so many options, so many designs, so many tactics to win games.
This website deserves more credit than you give it, Mr. Marine. :P
You make it seem like we are entitled to this website.
Randomize created Tengaged on his own time. It just doesn't seem fair to criticize him for not adding "enough." You should be thankful he's kept this site going strong for nearly seven years. I really do appreciate what he has done.
_Adidas_ I don't consider those significant updates, it's just adding a calculation and some images.
Yoshitomi I understand what you're saying, but I think the users are a big part of why his website succeeds and it wouldn't be a big deal to blog even QUARTERLY updates about what his plans are instead of trying to peddle his apps on us.
coolnarwhal88, Again, with us there is no Tengaged and his hobby would have fallen flat. Those of us who have spent SIX YEARS and gone on this journey together with him are entitled to some kind of communication.
Who cares that the opinion of a lot of higher levels would be to axe fastings and bring back the duel? That would put off new players soo much because they'd have to wait at least a week to get any $t to join the duel, and that's not even guaranteed until they get better.
Very foolish idea. The site would have next to no new players who actually stay.
Yeah as someone who's been here quite a while it might seem like nothing is being changed, but you have to look at how different this site is compared to '09 and the fact that I doubt anyone is doing improvements to the site other than Carlos. The guy deserves a bit of credit where it'd due. If the development team were bigger, then it'd be a real issue.
aquamarine and the only game besides the week long one that new players can play would be mostly challenge-oriented.
The same game all high-levels want to be able to play.
Makes sense.
Getting thrashed in every comp will definitely make them want to stay around
KarmaSutra I'm sure if you call your local individual walmart store, you could speak to the manager directly if you so chose. Tengaged is not Walmart by any standard, it's essentially a small business. And in any small business, you could speak to the owner.
Agreed idk why people are arguing with you. Rando does a blog a year, and many of those updates were done like 3 yrs ago. Nothing new in almost two years!
'peddle his apps off on us' - Witch Night? That was ONE app that he wanted to share with the users of the website HE created.
QUARTERLY blogs - He'll blog when he wants to.
he's got hundreds of us very invested in this site - Then he's doing/did something, isnt he?
I think you should also make it apparent as to when each of those updates occurred, because most of them occurred in the first 3 years of the site and barely any in the last 3 years
