why are bands that release crap singles and albums rewarded?

i've looked at some of the bands ahead of me in the rankings, and many of them have released singles and albums with ratings in the mid 80s to low 90s. some have even released records with far lower ratings. with the exception of my band's debut album; all of their work has a rating no lower than 99. at one point i even deleted 5 songs, because they weren't rated 100.
my band's other strength is touring. they are #6 in money & #10 in tickets sold, but these categories aren't valued nearly as much either.
IMO bands should be rewarded for releasing critically acclaimed work as well as the quantity of albums sold. i guess i just don't think its fair the ratings reward those who have played the game the longest.
anyway... thats my beef. i've said my piece.

Its who ever has the highest ranking in the regions, highest song ranking, best ability, best producer, most points spent on album/single, and what rank you are in the game. |

i'm #57 in the rankings.
i've had 100 popularity in every region for some time now. i always spend the maximum to record a single or album. my band's records are always ranked either 99 or 100. for some reason my bands singles never really sell that well. i've had better luck with album sales.
my original point was...
bands who have been in the game the longest are rewarded with the most points, because even if they release a bunch of singles with rankings in the mid 80s they still get points for records sold. quantity not quality is the only factor to receiving points.

Somebody's got a sandy vagina. Keep your toys in your bloody well pram and ENJOY THE GAME. You don't have to win everything to have fun with it. |

Such is the case in the real music industry. Even when a band like the Red Hot Chili Peppers release a poor album, they will still get millions in sales. |

As I said, what's wrong with enjoying the game? sure buddy. i'm guessing your experience with pussy is much like your band's albums; low quality shit. and for the record lodging a complaint in no way indicates i'm unhappy with the game. why not make the game better? as it stands now the point system favors those who have played the longest. obviously, since you are one of these people you probably don't want to see changes in the game.

1. My bands' albums (well, solo artist's album, I've only released one) is not low quality, hit the charts but is probably nowhere near the top 250 (haven't checked, but I doubt it). I've had most of my accounts since 1st May 2009, released a few singles, but I don't play often. 2. I can't improve the game. I moderate the forums. 3. My vaginal experience amounts to being in my 24th year of owning one full-time, which is a lot. |

how would i know bikz is a girl? this thread is a perfect example of why i usually stay away of the forums here. and since we're on the discussion of vaginal experience; i think its safe to say your experience with vaginas is purely custodial, where as mine have been much more pleasurable. let me just say you're doing a bang up job as a moderator.

This forum get more pathetic everyday. I wouldn't be shocked if there are no users by 2011. Carl should just shut down the site and let you all starve again.

Is not my fault you "Mods" don't do your job correctly and treat new users like shit. This is what the 3rd of 4th time you get rid of a new user. It's pathetic. I voiced my opinion which i have the right. And I think your worries should be more on not scaring all the new users away then worrying about if I'm leaving. Obviously I'm here. I don't think you do your job as a mod correctly. You suck at it and i don't think you can handle it. How about that. Edited by user 26 March 2010 12:16:03(UTC)

And I also want to say that i don't give a sh*t what you think. I voiced my opinion and I'm not going to continue this discussion.

1. PatagonianFox isn't a new user, has been posting since the game restarted and possibly before; also spammed the board and been suspended once already. 2. Mods are human too, and have the ability to act like total prats. We weren't elected because we're perfect, because we're not. 3. You never made the connection between this game and starvation. |

If it helps to clarify at all, the mods are just supposed to handle any valid problems on the forums (Flames wars, hacking, etc.). I don't think that necessarily implies they're doing a shit job if they want to have an opinion of something. Hell, you always have an opinion on something Steph, so why can't they? Either way, this'll be the only time I post on this thread, no interest in arguing.
