Metamorphosis - Short break to discuss issues (Please help discuss).

only 6 marks per alignment, and 16 players.  I highly doubt that there will be any issue of a player not having anyone to play.  swiss is fine.

These say the number of players with each number of completed mark after the listed round.
round 1: 8 players with 1 completed, 8 players with 0 completed
round 2: 4 players with 2 completed, 8 players with 1 completed, 4 players with 0 completed
round 3: 2 players with 3 completed, 6 players with 2 completed, 6 players with 1 completed, 2 players with 0 completed
round 4: 1 player with 4 completed, 4 players with 3 completed, 6 players with 2 completed, 4 players with 1 completed, 1 player with 0 completed
The player with 4 marks completed and the player with no marks completed would have nobody to play against, and the alignment still wouldn't have any champion.

Is this a problem? In round 4, the player with 4 wins will play someone with 3 wins. One player with 3 wins will play someone with 2 wins. One player with 2 win will play someone with 1 win. One player with 1 win will play the player with 0 wins.
So 8 people play someone with one more or one fewer win than them.
It's much better than someone with 5 wins playing someone with 0 wins and completely destroying them, which is something that might occur if random pairings were used.

I don't know where this should go, so I'll post it here.

That little summary between the links of where you are (Main forum->Elements the game->Etc) says 7 instead of 6.

[Spiraler]

What do you mean by that?

Click "PvP Events" and read the summary for Metamorphosis. It says you must have 7 different types of cards instead of 6.

The player with 4 marks would play someone with 3, and the player with 0 marks would play someone with 1.

That was posted before I made any comprehensive version of the rules.

OT: Eva, the header above the main Metamorphosis board says "Decks must have 7 different kinds of cards. Every round, players have to change their mark, and replace 2 groups of the same card with the same amount of a different card."  That first number should be 6.

I originally posted Metmorphosis in the "Post your PvP Event Ideas Here!" Thread. SG liked the general idea and moved it to the then new PvP section.
I made adjustments to the Rules since then. I personally do not have the ability to alter that text.

swiss method still screwed someone who messed up big time by making it impossible to catch back up.

[bucky1andonly]

Oh and here I thought anyone was gonna play anyone.  Which would make things so much simpler.  Don't pair people up based on wins, that is pointless anyway, just pair people up randomly, the number of wins a person has will not affect the outcome of their match, since all decks are already made and cannot be changed, even if someone can see a persons deck before they play them, its not like they can set up a counter deck.  Problem solved.

Refer to my first post to resolve the other issue.

This doesn't need to be more complicated than what you people are making it out to be.

16 people per alignment and to go through all 6 marks you will need to win 6 games with each mark, or 5, i forget how that part works, and not checking right now because that is unimportant.  I'll assume 6 for the sake of my post.  So a player needs to win with each of the 6 marks of their alignment.  Who they play is irrelevant, and since there are 16 players, (subs used where needed), no one will be without a person to play against.  No one is eliminated based on what I've read, so to go random selection is the only option, and rerandomize if needed to make sure people don't play each other twice, which isn't an issue being there are 16 players.

-edit-
if you dont know your way with the game very well, this isnt the type of pvp event you should participate in.  your deck can become unusable if you do something stupid and you only have yourself to blame.

You mean someone who lost? Because with swiss method, it is less likely that someone goes 6-0 than with random method. I don't see why you would prefer random.
