I'm very new here, and as such, have really no say in the past and what went down so I will not touch on that. I just figure as one of the newbies, I can at least offer my perspective on a few things that you listed from where I stand.
Promos. I am one of those that put out long pieces of work. I am very story based, and if I get rolling, it can go much longer than most word limits. This is why I always opt into Warfare, because its what I like. If someone doesnt want to read it all, thats fine. If someone doesnt like my supernatural subject matter, or wont touch my stuff because of the length, thats also fine. As for length winning, its Warfare and with no limits, the longer written has the better opportunity to get more points in, and gain the upper hand. Same goes if one reaches a cap and the other does half or whatever. Also, judging is based on whoever is doing it. What you think is the better piece of work might completely differ to my own, simply due to taste and what we eye as whats most important about it.
What I really go for is if the story captures me, if I want to know more, if I could picture it in my head. Is it funny? Are the points concise or just a jumble of words? Thats what I like and would look for. Someone else might put other items far above that. And so, depending on who judges you get differing results.
As for nothing changing... I was in a fed for many years and I stayed because it was comfortable. I liked knowing how things worked and what to expect. I didnt feel it had to change all that much. Fast forward 14 years later, Im knocking the rust off in this fed thats a very different animal from what I am used to. I am adapting, and growing. Point being, for those of us that are new, its not all old hat here for us. Its fresh and exciting still. So theres a little give and take there, some of the older members might be staying because they enjoy what it is and dont think it needs a lot of change.
I have put out some of my best pieces here, and never won. I dont feel like I was screwed, I feel like there were little things that were not stacked in my favor.
As a whole, when you get this many people and personalities there is bound to be drama and fighting sometimes. I choose to stay out as much as I can, but I just wanted to offer up some of my opinions on what was relevant to me. I have no issues with anyone here otherwise.
