Waiting list please.

by **hecter** on Sat Dec 08, 2007 12:54 pm

Can I get on this waiting list of yours?

by **rebelman** on Sat Dec 08, 2007 12:56 pm

this is an impressive size of a waiting list - this could be the first tournie that has more competitors on the waitng list than taking part :lol:

by **lagger-no-1** on Sat Dec 08, 2007 1:49 pm

I'll wait, let me know when i'm in!

by **inonzuk** on Sat Dec 08, 2007 2:12 pm

sounds interesting, I'll be happy to join.

by **Optimus Prime** on Sat Dec 08, 2007 2:31 pm

Alright, the Waiting List is now CLOSED until further notice. No new entrants until we get a few weeks into the league games.

Thanks for everyone who has signed up, I should be getting us up and running in the next couple of days.

I have just finished sending the PMs for Game Batches 1-3, so I anticipate that all of those games will be active within the next couple of days. Also, please take a moment to look at the adjustments I made to the scoring system for each game. It is nothing drastic, but I did make the reward for winning a little higher and adjusted the scores for finishing in the bottom 3 of a game at any given time.

I have also increased the penalty for not showing up for a game to -5 points instead of -3.

There will be a poll soon about a new map to include in the league if the players are interested in doing so, as well as a PM survey arriving in your inboxes sometime in the next week to discuss some possible additions to the league as well. I want the players to be involved so I will try to make as few drastic changes to policy, procedure, or rules as I can without first gathering input from the participants.

Regards, Optimus Prime

I'm pretty sure I sent you one, did you not get one? I'll send it again real quick.

by **Gilligan** on Wed Dec 12, 2007 5:39 pm

Yeah, I didn't get one. But I got the one you just sent.

Good to hear. I promise not to do that again with the next games.

It's not a problem, Optimus. Tournament organizing can be strenuous... I know!

P.S. 3000th post

I thought all games were unlimited fortifications. Game 1371053 is adjacent

Look under "Game Format" in the first post.

Add me to waiting list, please

I don't think we need two champions... One winner, everyone else... loses! :wink:

Nah, but seriously... Why need two winners? Only one winner for the whole tournament.

There ISN'T a winner of the whole tournament. This isn't a tournament, it is a continuous league that will continue for a very long time. That is why I am asking if we would like to have an Era Champion every so often in order to give the players something to strive for.

By the time I am done getting input from all of you players this league is going to be pretty fancy.

Is there a reason why 15 and 21? Why not 16 and 22?

by **Optimus Prime** on Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:01 pm

Because the games start in groups of 3. 15 and 21 are divisible by 3, 16 and 22 are not.

Then why not 18 and 24? :wink:

I guess I misunderstood that then... I change my vote from 'Other' to 'Yes, at 22 games'. (In the final tally, I know I can't change it in the poll... If you'd be willing to change it.)

by **Serbia** on Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:04 pm

15 and 21 are fine options. The only other number I'd suggest would be 30, but that might be too long. I voted for 21, the extra 6 games give you a better scope than the fewer do, in my opinion.

Oh, right.. anyway, my vote went to 21 because I like table tennis and you need 21 points to win it in there

Yes, the logical thinking of women :-$
