You PM them to me so there's no advantage to waiting until the last minute to learn cards.  The learning phase is after the duel phase and lasts three days.  I'll try to remember you posted this though =P

That's what I had figured at first but there was a bunch of stuff in the rules thread about posting them here. I'll be sure to send it to you once the learning starts :P

No....they(we) simply hit the minimum of zero and stop. This event isn't an elimination event, it keeps going until someone pulls so far ahead that they win(unless I'm severely mistaken about the rules).

That is correct.

I made a mistake and changed my mind about the below zero rule.  However, it would have been unfair to change the rules after the battles were fought, I raised the scores back up to zero.  The game ends when someone breaches 18 points.  This is a non-elimination event.

Oh great Gl1tch, divine for us thy oracles purpose!

Just to be clear, now that battles in round 1 are over, winners and losers are blessed by the oracle and get to learn 1 new card of their choosing.  Everyone must pm thier choice to Gl1tch within 3 days else you don't get to add a card for next round.

I suggest sending out a mass pm to everybody as a reminder & so we can all reply with our picks.

Sorry that none of this is done, my house lost power.  I'm currently in my mom's workplace with two bars of internet, a ROM of pokémon firered, and a storm outside threatening to take all my power away.

I'll do what I can.

HOWEVER:  If my power remains offline so long I can't run this, the event can either pause or be run by someone else.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

this IS a problem

In swiss, no player should face each other twice.

though, as some people already played, we cannot change it now, but we will take care that it doesnt happen again next rounds

My sincerest apologies to Jippy, Xdude has left the event.  This is an administration error on my end, enjoy your bye.

I would also like to apologize to gavsword and zyz1.  As you two had a 0-0, gavsword only earned one point, where zyz1 earned none.  When I randomized the list, there was a 4% chance of zyz1 being your opponent.  I didn't check against redundancies, and I should have.

I was going to try doing it, but it didn't work.  Besides, it's quite easy to see if you've already earned a card.  Simply count the number of non-other non-mono cards you have.  The relic is somewhat redundant, and because of it's location in the deck list, harder to see than just leaving it alone.  Either way, the relic was simply going to be a place holder to point out you hadn't learned a card yet, and would have been simple record keeping for my personal benefit.  The relics would have been removed at the start of round 2.  As far as getting two picks next round...

The rules say, and I quote, "you may "learn" one additional card,".  They do not say you must.  They do not say you may earn two.  As the rules are currently written, the answer is no.


Finally, I'd like to apologize to everyone in the event, I'm a really bad event organizer, as it would turn out  ¡^.^.  Please bear with me.

How is that 3 points, when I got 1 point because my opponent could not field a deck?

I know it's already said and done, I just want a clarification for why the points are different

You won your fight 0-0
He got a bye.

The difference:  He won due to my error.  You won due to your opponents.  Seeing as he didn't have an opponent, we assume he'd win 3-1, which is the average win ratio.  Seeing as you /did/ have an opponent, we know for a fact you won 0-0.

You won your fight 0-0
He got a bye.

The difference:  He won due to my error.  You won due to your opponents.  Seeing as he didn't have an opponent, we assume he'd win 3-1, which is the average win ratio.  Seeing as you /did/ have an opponent, we know for a fact you won 0-0.
Thank you for the clarification

hi,
i am officialy asking to delay the time to play our 3rd round (guy_fawkes vs Malignant)

we are from very different time zones and we arranged a match on saturday
( http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=19&month=2&year=2011&hour=9&min=0&sec=0&p1=215 )
which is something like 1 day after the official deadline.

Can we make it or do we get a 0-0?

thanks,guy_f

Saturday will be fine.
Title: Re: The Main Thread
Post by: The_Mormegil on February 16, 2011, 07:10:11 pm
Me and 7wavemaster have a similar problem, but can't play on Saturday either. We live at 9 hours difference, and since he has school until 18.00 every day and can't connect on Saturday, and I have school until 14.00 and can't wait until 3.00 AM to fight him... We can't play at all. Unless we play on Sunday, that is. So, since I rather doubt you will extend the time so much (not that I'm not asking! I am, I just know you most likely won't allow that...) but at the very least, can we get the matchups on, say, Thursday/Friday? I would like to be able to play on weekends, for cases like this one.

Hey, 7wavemaster, The Mormegal, Terroking, Appawesome, mrpaper, korugar, zyz1, icybraker, thalas, and achangeofpace, what's going on with your fight?

Specifically regarding thalas/achangeofpace, I have evidence that thalas sent PMs, but they give the impression that achangeofpace responded, and a fight time was set.  What's going on??

KDZ:  You get the 1 point win.

You can use BCC. While you send the PM, there's a slot sayin' "BCC". Input "Gl1tch" there, wait the box saying "Gl1tch" to show up, click on "Gl1tch" and there you have it. He will now know if you were making a effort to schedule a match.. (or not?).

You can use BCC.
Glitch doesn't need to be copied on all communications.  Instead when you PM your opponent, save a copy in your outbox.  If a dispute occurs you can just forward that copy to the organizer.

Lol someone beat Plastiqe! My fellow death mate in arms (Malignant) failed us and got swept by him. Loki being unavailable to play me in round 3 really does hurt the score. Only getting one point for something you have no control over is kinda meh.

By my calculation I'd actually be in 3rd place with 12pts if the scores were to be updated from last round.

I know it is a pain with people dropping out, but to hell with them.  For those of us still playing I would like to keep going until a winner has been determined as per the rules.

Ah yes.  The issue of dropping and bye balance.

The first issue I had here was enforcing the "disruption points" system, especially with war coming up.  The solution I'm considering is having the player who fails to make their fight drop to 0 points.  If a player with 0 points fails to make a fight, they're out.

Hopefully this will eliminate players who never played clogging up the system, at least better than my lazy butt did.

The bye system was originally intended to only be given to a player with 0 points, when there's an odd number of players.  When players dropped, and opponents had no one to play against, I decided in the beginning to count it as a bye, when I shouldn't have.  That should have been a 0-0 win, like the rest.

Those rules fixes, in addition to the upgrading card system, are what I would add if I ran this again.

Other optional CotO variants:
You earn cards for winning, much like in war.  You cannot lose more than your mono.  You win by building your opposite's mono, a second mono in general, getting every card, or just getting a certain number of cards.  Losing a match could cause players to have to "forget" cards, or cards could be cemented.
Another war-hybrid idea, you can only learn cards your opponent played, as though by beating them, you learned through experience one of their techniques.  After having fireballs thrown at you, you learn to make one of your own.
Duel choice variants.  Single elimination variants, round robin, a non-score based system in general, whatever.

Mini oracle trophy should be out later today.
