Given that no-one would hold a gun to your head and make you read the mock wars season, does its MERE EXISTENCE still reduce your enthusiasm for the annual tournament?

Or is there a misconception that people would have matches every week? The next polls are going to be about length and frequency of mock wars season matches.

Part of the idea of the Mock Wars Season is that it would give the Mock Wars a presence outside of the 1 month it's running, and therefore (hopefully) more people would know when the tournament is happening and show up for it. Giving the wars exposure on the main site of i-mockery is great in a lot of respects, but it redirects a different crowd to the tourney, and Joe "Slurpee Thievery Gag! LOL" Internet isn't necessarily a member of the pool from which we should be drawing our participants. YUNNO? So, promotion on the forum would be a good start and Rog is notoriously afraid of doing that outside of the traditional "A THREAD OUGHT TO EXPLAIN ALL THIS" format. Not to mention that another hope for the Season would be to draw attention to the forums to help grow them like a KOI.
