C.C. Semis THOTA vs. LoW [33-27] -- THOTA Prevails! [FINAL]

[Incandenza]

All games filled as of like yesterday morning, so round 1 is completely underway. And in awesomer news, nik has drawn first blood for THOTA!

[waseemalim]

incand -- would it be possible to not have the player names interfere with the game numbers? It's just so much harder to scan. You can get rid of the names entirely (no one really notices those on the thread). or have them on the right hand side.

Well... the names don't fit well on the right side, especially for quads. And eliminating them entirely... I dunno, I like having the matchups, it personalizes things a bit more. Personally I've never had trouble scanning the games, but then again it's my own bloody system. I'm certainly open for suggestions, but it's no small amount of effort to create and update a challenge OP.

not doubting the effort obv. why dont you just abbreviate the name -- the players are known well enough that people will recognize abbreviations. Also, no point in having the entire settings there.

Also, it would be nicer if you used colors, that way we dont have to go looking for the bolded "thota" or low next to each hame. May be with colors, you wouldnt need to change your format.

Colors are a good choice.

not good, tofu-kort thread is 3 pages longer, we need some drama here asap

[ScrewMeSilly!]

Drama hey? Okay then. I just posted, drama ensues!

Psst, Blitz, you should start taking your medication again. Y'know, for your weak pride and low self-esteem? I haven't seen many "Top 5 OMGWTFBBQTITS I'm Awesome!!!11111one!!!!111" threads in a while.

Go LoW, and khazalid!!

I'm sure Incandenza would love for more people to weigh in with their helpful opinions on what would constitute the most legible and appealing first post! (I personally recommend the format created by White Moose in the TOFU - KORT thread.)

Or you could stick to dice, drops, and breaches of the 12 hour fog rule. *yawn*.

I like what moosey's done. I'll see what I can do to improve legibility, but to be honest the thread is basically a mirror of the one I have in our private forum, and it is the way it is for good, information-gathering reasons...

Just for the record, as I'm not going to whinge (yet), I just counted the THOTA vs. TSM games, and it was a 10-10 split for who went first in the first round. Here it's 17-7.

Also, inb4 dice shitstorm, because there've been some stupidly incredible streaks for both sides.

it really doesnt matter right now....the TSM challenge finished at 52.5%, so it was balanced.....lets wait and see what this challenge finishes at too.

As far as the dice, I have been apart of some crazy games outside of the challenge. So it wont surprise me if the dice are "screwy" for either side here too. i.e. started a game with 2 bonuses after 1st round in a trips game, and lost the game, by a wide margin! Never count these games as over until you hammer that last nail!

Right, I agree with you on both points—just keep calm and wait until the whole thing's through and through. My point about TSM was in reply to ol' khaz:

i'd totally check the [TSM] thread and prove you wrong [that TSM had a first-turn advantage] if i wasn't such a lazy bastard. one of the LoW lot will do it, no doubt. and then keep shtoom about it.

[khazalid]

hum. but i distinctly remember having a moan about it. maybe i just like to moan.

I am sure you 2 are not the only ones who feel this way. I am fairly sure quite a few more are spent.

Color!

After consultation with LoW, round 2 games will be exchanged September 12. That's a week later than was discussed in the TOFU-Kort thread, but since wasee wasn't part of that discussion, it's fine by me.

We really need to get with Chuuuuck on this so we can get some hard lines down.

No kidding. But worst case, I think four of us (one from each clan) could put our heads together and whip something up that's plausible.

I think we can all agree to that.
