Brawl #3 - Survey

[russianspy1234]

How did you feel about the auctions via googledocs (especially bosses)?
Not particularly relevant to me, seemed convinient for the bosses though.
How did you feel about standings via googledocs?
Very useful
How much did you use your secret section? Did you like having a secret section?
Not too much, we mostly relied on the pad.  It was good to know the section was there as a backup though.
How good/bad was the workload for Brawl?
About what I expected.  Between various amounts of inactivity from other teammates, did end up covering other tasks as well, though not as much as andre.
How much time did you spend actually interacting with your team?
Not enough.  I was half a world away.  A decent amount of interaction with andre as we figured out what to do in other tasks.  There was a decent amount of 1way communication going leaving notes for each other on the pad, but few "team chats".
How much did you enjoy Brawl?
8
Will you participate in Brawl #4? (This isn't a promise ^_^)
Yes. This is a promise.

How did you feel about the auctions via googledocs (especially bosses)?
I didn't even know this existed. Joey just PMed me saying I was on his team and I was like "Great."
How did you feel about standings via googledocs?
Very easy and convinent. Good job with this.
How much did you use your secret section? Did you like having a secret section?
We just used a titanpad for everything but voting. It got used a couple of times but...
How good/bad was the workload for Brawl?
For my task it was fine. 1 or 2 cards a week isn't hard. Dat round 3 tho. It got harder when I had to cover for other members but I have lots of spare time.
How much time did you spend actually interacting with your team?
Mostly just dropping feedback on tasks and some team chats.
How much did you enjoy Brawl?
Well it beats doing nothing... barely. No, it was really great.
Will you participate in Brawl #4? (This isn't a promise ^_^)
As long as life allows me to.

How did you feel about the auctions via googledocs (especially bosses)? It was nice to be able to avoid the forum topic bidding.  Some seem to prefer topic-bidding, but it scatters the bids more than I like.  G Docs would be my preference if asked in future Brawls.

How did you feel about standings via googledocs? Standings were done quite well.  As the Brawl Masters lack time-warping abilities to close the gap between standings-voting-current Round, this method was superb.  Thanks.

How much did you use your secret section? Did you like having a secret section? Only about 10% of DDD's team time was in the private team section.  However, this 10% was activity not otherwise possible.  Keep these!

How good/bad was the workload for Brawl? I would estimate that I spent about  20 hours on some rounds and only a few hours on others.  The 20 hour rounds are what I think I should have done every round as Boss but RL interfered.  *Disclaimer: time required may be warped due to 100% lack of two important roles.

How much time did you spend actually interacting with your team? Pretty much all of it if they were online... if I was doing a task I had the chat open as well.  I would estimate about 85% of the team communication was via TitanPad and 5% forum PM (the remaining is per above private section comments).

How much did you enjoy Brawl? I enjoyed it above and beyond what I expected coming in.  Truth in plain font here, I chose to participate to represent my Mastership and as a show of faith in those that voted me a year ago in the Community Vote phase of Trials.  I stuck with it despite the massive time sink it was because I follow through and did not want to disappoint my wonderful teammates.  The Brawl Masters did an excellent management job on the event which also contributed greatly to my enjoyment of it - very well organized overall.

Will you participate in Brawl #4? (This isn't a promise ^_^) I might participate.  I will definitely consider it.  I can say now that I will not do it in the boss role - been-there done-that.

How did you feel about the auctions via googledocs (especially bosses)?


Quite nice, thank you! However, I think I agree with ji412jo and I would have preffered the good-old way of shouting/spamming the auction topics.

How did you feel about standings via googledocs?


Great idea, but I don't really care about the way standings are represented.

How much did you use your secret section? Did you like having a secret section?


I tremendously loved our secret section! I absolutely want one for FBrawl#4! Imho, it is even more important than titanpad (let alone more reliable, if you take all these connectivity issues a titanpad may have)!

How good/bad was the workload for Brawl?


It wasn't very well balanced imho. Brawl#2 had a greater balance (and more epic submissions) with 3-member-combo tasks. But it was still a great experience and extra praise goes to the brawlmasters for balancing the teams.

How much time did you spend actually interacting with your team?


Much, much less than I would really like to...

How much did you enjoy Brawl?


I don't like it. At all! There is no sane person who would participate 3 times in a row in this event. No way!

Will you participate in Brawl #4? (This isn't a promise ^_^)


4 times in a row? That's insane! But sanity is overrated...

How did you feel about the auctions via googledocs (especially bosses)? Most of the time googledocs is inconvienent due to my comp being weird but was fine this time.
How did you feel about standings via googledocs? I felt worried I wasn't gonna be able to see them at first.
How much did you use your secret section? Did you like having a secret section? I used it as a formatting place when transffering between TP and Forum then to BMs it goes! The secret section was useful for that for me anyway and thus I liked it. I didn't like having a secret voting section though.
How good/bad was the workload for Brawl? Good/bad is how I would sum it up. ^_^. Good amount but bad for my school. lol.
How much time did you spend actually interacting with your team? I spent a lot of time interacting with my team at first, grabbing any availble chance. I didn't get my task in due to sudden time restraints and never got to warn my team. One of the brawlers got angry at me and thus I spent next to 0 time in TP next round which caused me not to get my task in again. I did get the task done, just not very well and not formatted. I also couldn't send it and appearently when I said I couldn't send it their was a communication issuie. Since I didn't want to have to deal with a very angry brawler I spent the least amount of time possible to interact with my team and just did my task and went on to the TP to tell em' it was done.
How much did you enjoy Brawl? I enjoyed the first round a ton. Then when a brawler on the team got angry brawl became a chore.
Will you participate in Brawl #4? (This isn't a promise ^_^) Hopefully. Depends on my grades. If they're better then this year I'll consider joining brawl by those who've already signed up.

How did you feel about the auctions via googledocs (especially bosses)?
i didnt follow it too much, i just saw who bid on me and yea. i dont have anything to compare to though... all in all, it was good
How did you feel about standings via googledocs?
again, nothing to compare to. though the formatting was good.
How much did you use your secret section? Did you like having a secret section?
well, see our secret section ^^ it was great to have one and have all submissions in one neat little thread though
How good/bad was the workload for Brawl?
Quite good and even, used mostly titan for that. Yet I found some tasks too time-consuming for a just a week... Considering RL stuff too ;]
How much time did you spend actually interacting with your team?
pretty much all of it
How much did you enjoy Brawl?
i enjoyed it quite a bit, a great non-pvp event and im sad not more people joined...
Will you participate in Brawl #4? (This isn't a promise ^_^)
depends on time, I'm married now, so... we will see. But I wonder.. Will EtG still exist in one year? ... I hope so... Additionally, I don't like the voting system very much, as you know...

green is my answers


I used mostly dawn's answer, I changed only a little there, but all the rest is true for me too. It was convenient dawn, thanks ^^

Because sooooo many people voted you. Definitely not the other way around XD

glad to be of help

Obviously, these questions are not for non-participant spectators like myself, but I still would like to express my opinion about the first one as an outsider:

How did you feel about the auctions via googledocs (especially bosses)?

I have much preferred the forum-based War auction, which was very interesting and entertaining to watch unfolding.
When I come to the forums I usually click on the "Show unread posts since last visit." link on the top of the page to see what's going on, then read some of the threads listed -- based on title/section to decide whether it is interesting to me. With this technique I have completely missed the Brawl auction, I was not even aware it was happening.
