Elements the League: Questions, Suggestions & Chat

[dracomageat]

I want Malignant Cell as a prize!

A limit is definitely needed and 1/person/day seems like a good one.

kk, league ended now, if im not wrong.

a) what are the prices? (rare card(s)? forum icons? electrum?)
b) when does the next league start?
c) any changes in rules (maybe shorter in time, and the things, mentioned in this thread)?

I agree with plastique that the league should be moved from wiki to the forum and have two seperate threads (one signup, one match reports)...also if we continue with the point system, I think that you should play 3 matches (regardless of who wins the first two) and then every time you win you get a point and every time you lose you lose a point...

however, i think that it should be based more on win % rather than a point system but then you'd need a minimum game limit and how would you decide that and...idk...

I'm not saying we should move the whole league to the forum, I was only suggesting a sign up thread for the forums to ensure that people playing in the league were actually forum members (some aren't).

The -1 point for losing thing was discussed (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,620.msg6885#msg6885) and dismissed (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,620.msg29936#msg29936) earlier in the thread, I agree with their conclusions.

Maybe I missed something but why is the rule that you can play with same person only 1 match per day good? Some people are very rarely in chat.

I like the rule that 2-1 and 2-0 doesn't make difference (although i lost many games 2-1), because it leaves some room for experiments and allows to take games easier sometimes.

What I actually don't like much is that you can play with the same person 10 matches; 5 would be enough especially if we have this new 1-match-per day rule. Otherwise the results of the league are dependent too much on the quantity of the games played.

And if there is again something like 85 people in league, then it is good to give some awards (even if they are small) to first 6. That could be more motivating.

Finally, there is a rule that we have 2-3 minutes between games, but nothing happens if people don't follow that. I don't mind for waiting few hours sometimes, but still, should we have some control mechanisms  there or should the rules not be so strict in that point?

because you could play all 10 matches against someone on the last league-day and jump 10 points that way with ease (if you are lucky enough to find someone freh joined who wants to play all these matches)

Can we have an under 0's league? I'd be happy to do some of the organisation.

If we had league editor rights before, will we keep those? Or will we lose them and the only people that get them be the actual league organizers?

Couple of things..

I'm still looking into getting a new league scoring system.

The reason why we don't have it here in the forums is that we would have to do everything manually which is a big no-no. The plugin used in Wiki is not perfect but it does update standings automatically and score inserting is relatively fast (although it requires 2 steps and a middle-man which kind of sucks).

Number6 talked about in chat about maybe helping us out. We'll see. If we get a great system, we can incorporate that to these forums and scrap the Wiki version.

Sing-up here and match reports in Wiki doesn't make sense to me. It only makes updating more difficult.

Points based on final score won't happen. My tip to anyone who think they should be rewarded for a close loss: next time don't lose!

Anyone who has League editing rights will keep them. When you do edits, please write a comment like "updated" so that others don't insert those results as well.

So if I have one account above 20k and one account below, can I sign up for both?

[Troh]
