this shouldn't be moved to the call-outs forum, its a tourney!

by **joeyjordison** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 11:41 am

strange.... the thread has been moved but is still in the same place.... maybe wicked thought it was so important she wanted to highlight it with a big moved sign

by **poo-maker** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 11:43 am

its in the tourney and the call-outs forum.

by **joeyjordison** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 11:44 am

ah its in both. i get it.

but yeh can we have it in the tourny section please?

its tourny so it should be in the callouts section

by **poo-maker** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 11:45 am

are you sure? i've never seen a tourney in the call-outs section

by **wicked** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 11:46 am

It's not a tourney anymore than the previous open games callout was a tourney, as has already been discussed. If you want to suggest that be changed, use the proper outlet as has already been explained (suggestion in suggestion forum), but don't create a bogus tourney. We're not that naive. :roll:

this is not bogus tourny.
i am 100% serious about following it all through.
i amended the scoring system as per poo-maker's suggestion and i don't see that there is anything un-tourny like about it.

can i just ask for clarification upon what makes something a tournament?

sign me up joey!!! your goin down!!

by **joeyjordison** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 1:07 pm

rite u r hett

i've taken the liberty of allowing all people who played in the dragoons open games play seeing as the open games are no longer running due to 'the rules'

theres no limit on people in the tournament and people can join at any point during it.

I don't quite get how can one earn 1 point if the one wins and kills he gets 0. Could you please explain.

by **wicked** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 1:46 pm

That'd be the bogus part, where they think they're being cute.

There's no official CC definition of a tournament, as we thought it would be common sense, but here is a standard definition for those of you without common sense:

tour·na·ment (tŏŏr'nə-mənt, tûr'-) n.
A series of contests in which a number of contestants compete and the one that prevails through the final round or that finishes with the best record is declared the winner.

Having competed in many tournaments in real life, I can attest they all do have an end with a clear winner. An on-going series of contests just for fun or practice where no winner is defined (like the open games) would be called a league.

there is a winner at the end, the person that gets to 1 point :roll:

why dont you make the tourney an "honourable one" joey? you could award the most honourable player each match a point, and if noone was honourable, you could give noone a point.

quite true. hence the implementation of the

it may seem strange that it is for a loss but i believe that an honourable player must know how to lose as well but after further deliberation i am implementing a second change. from now on there will be a:

0.000002 points for a win

as otherwise people may use the tournament as an excuse to give their friends points

genius!

by **AK_iceman** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:12 pm

I'm not buying it. Privs DENIED! :lol:

Seriously, you guys have several clan members who are actually able to put forth the small effort of hosting a REAL tournament. Just ask them to make the games for you, or host a real tourney yourselves.

by **joeyjordison** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:13 pm

ok i think the rules have been revised enough and are fair.

i declare this tournament

OFFICIALLY OPEN

(once tourny privs are recieved which should only be about 21 hours now!)

thats not funny.

this is a serious tournament and i don't like being mocked and ridiculed. i put a lot of effort into this and spent much of my time working out a unique and workable system.

can i ask upon which basis the priveleges were denied?

and as for a 'real tournament' i've done a tournament before and it was very successful but recently i have been busy hence the fact that players in this tournament will have to count their own scores.

i actually devised this tournament in my small amount of spare time whilst travelling from the dog shelter to the local oxfam to volunteer

by **AK_iceman** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:21 pm

Look, I don't have time to follow you guys around and answer all your questions in several different threads. And you making a bogus tournament, I mean, did you really think was gonna work? You are mocking the system, because your ignorant clan leader feels he is special and deserves to be treated above any kind of rules or system the site puts into place. Now, please post in the flame wars thread if you want me to respond to it, because I'm not going to reply here anymore.

Good one

You got someone asking about your fake scoring system, and now you're all gonna go laugh at him

HILARIOUS!

I mean really, this idea is not even clever. If you want to play games with certain players, then just set up private games and play together.

by **joeyjordison** on Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:32 pm

ok this is a separate thing from the original open games thread so i don't think they should be merged.

at MB i was laughing because he didn't read the whole thing. of course he won't understand it if he hasn't read all of the instuctions! :wink:
