Post Your PvP Event Ideas Here / Re: Upped War? Is it possible?

« on: December 25, 2010, 05:44:25 pm »

poll is bad
because anyone can just click on a button anonymously

what we should do is a mock signup sheet

put down the 12 elements and ask whoever are down for any particular element i.e. :-

Forum	kobisjeruk
IGN	kobisjeruk
Chat	kobisjeruk
Element #1	DARKNESS
Element #2	AETHER
Element #3	LIFE

Team 

kobisjeruk (reserve)TheonlyrealBeef (reserve)thenewguy (reserve)

Team

$$$man (reserve)

DragoonTheonlyrealBeef (reserve)

kobisjeruk (reserve)

thenewguy (reserve)

Team   

with preference (e.g. element #1, element #2, element #3 - #2 and #3 means they will be reserved for that element in case that particular element does not have enough team members or something)
and see how many we can actually get to commit...with names
much better than a poll imo

Children of the Oracle / Re: Children of the Oracle

need to include score for forfeit (0-0) in the table
or else we'll be seeing similar issue as it happened in 12 lives event

Forum News and Announcements / Re: Apply for League Organizer

While I have been known to say stupid things (lets face it, with a forum name this bad) - I didn't want to be though of as trolling. (And I feel that the view I expressed before was more likely to be held by someone with 600 posts than a troll with less than 20, although - hopefully - much more politely worded)

Or it could be to give the council an extra something to think about regarding the responses.
The people who deny the statement and give the actual reasons are already showing the maturity needed for a position like this IMO. Good work jippy99 and TimerClock14, yours were the best responses to my little bait (There were other good ones to, but it feels mean to completely exclude a couple people). While I have no power to vote for you, I hope you do well.

intelligently put or not, you did admit to trolling, did you not?

and if we go by post count comparison, 1500+ post have much more significance than 600+ post...but thats not how it work now, does it? (i.e. dont compare post count)

12 Lives / Re: Feedback and Suggestions

« on: December 24, 2010, 06:54:29 am »

Rules need some changing (this is just my personal opinion and by no mean PvPO-stamped official/approved) :-

1) Win by 'sweep' 3-0 and only 3-0 will give you a bonus +1 life, anything else i.e. 2-0, 1-0 or 0-0 (forfeit) wont.

2) Bonus +1 life from sweep are to be used immediately after the match in which you won them, you need to specify which Mark you reclaim back in the battle result thread. The only exception (meaning the only time you can store your +1ups) is when you still have 12 Lives intact. You are required to use up your bonus lives as soon as you lose a mark.

The reasoning behind this is that Swiss tournament is based on performance and challonge does not differentiate between 3-0 and 3-1 (or 3-2) win but bonus lives gained from clean sweep (3-0) make a difference. Significant or otherwise it is still a difference and needs to be treated as such.
This is just my suggested solution. Anyone who think they have a better solution should provide it here so we can compare.

12 Lives / Re: 12 Lives Battle Thread (Hosted by RavingRabbid)

« on: December 24, 2010, 06:35:39 am »

the problem is that this event was riddled with confusion and chaos from the get go
wasnt anyone's fault because its the first time this event is hosted so only thing we can do is learn from it and make sure any future '12 lives' will be better for everyone involved
please put down any suggestion and feedback in the appropriate thread

Sideboard / Re: Brackets Up - Event Starts Now

« on: December 21, 2010, 06:39:32 pm »

like i said, latest timer is a nudge to those who have yet to finish their long overdue matches
for others, that means they can start their matches right away (if they know who they're dueling) like what some already did up to this point
but there wont be any coinflip for others when the timer runs out (because they're way ahead) so they have nothing to worry about

Everything updated up to this point.

Seeing deadline for double elimination can be a bit confusing, I am going to stop using it but I will personally nudge those in the lower rounds via PMs (particularly loser's bracket) and if they cant schedule or determine a winner properly, it will result in a coinflip.

Below are required to schedule a match as soon as possible (3 days) :-

Nudged Countdown
Round has ended

ISlayCasuals	VERSUS	$$$man
lava golem	VERSUS	asymmetry
7wavemaster	VERSUS	RavingRabbid
The dictator	VERSUS	Kakerlake
lukce	VERSUS	majofa
Smokefree	VERSUS	Malignant

personally i am looking forward to mrpaper's deck the most after sifting through all decklist
never expect to see something like that in this event and glad to see it manage to beat some more popular approach
