Domination Season End | |||||||

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT RUSSIAN ROULETTE WAS AN AWFUL IDEA FOR A THEME WEEK, IT’S EVEN WORSE IF THERE’S DOUBLE MEDALS TO BE had. |

The last russian roulette ended at a horrible time for me. Just got home from work, sat at the computer, and then the week ends. That would mean it finished mid afternoon in the US. Stupid theme benefits a tiny minority that have access to FW through the day. At the very most just set a 1-2 hour window or something. |

The last russian roulette ended at a phenomenal time for me. Great theme benefited players who can’t be on at 9pm Eastern. |

This sounds like it can be funny. |

Please no Russian Roulette with double medals. BB2 said he wanted strategy, not luck, to be more important in determining winners iirc.
Lummilux Posted: that’s what they said about INCIT too, and look what happened there |

so what happens when it ends at 2:53 am EDT or some other time that’s just as obnoxious for you as it was for most dom players last time we had this theme? you and the others that benefited from it were lucky that the random time lined up with when you happened to play. I know I was still at work when it ended and was completely screwed.
If binge really wants to do russian roulette again, that’s fine. but please, not the last week of the season when people have planned like hell and fought all season long to get the coveted end of season peens. |

Oh, I absolutely agree it should NOT be done on the final week.
I’m just saying there are other viewpoints to the fun and validity of Russian Roulette, to counter meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee’s viewpoint. |

So your argument is that it’s a great theme because it benefited you. OK. Have you got any info on how many players can be on and at what time? I suspect it’s going to be a tiny minority that can be around mid afternoon US on a Wednesday, unless you’re unemployed, unemployable, under 5 years of age, or retired. The timing didn’t even benefit the majority of Europe. So who did benefit?
Also, if you want to benefit other timezones, why not let them know ahead of time? Rather than just ‘spend all week preparing, just incase you’re lucky enough to live in the right part of the world to be able to do something with your scoops’ meeeeeeeeee edited this message on 08/02/2009 4:00PM |

Right now there are 2 Brackets with 1 person in them with 6 Medals for this season. Could you imagine them getting the season end peen for getting double Medals out of that?
Just repeating ad nauseum.
I forget who said it, but a total streak reset for the last week would force strategy above Luck a bit more, or perhaps something which affects the brackets themselves such as a mid week shuffle. There’s a lot of possibilities for what to do, if you don’t like Russian Roulette or Double Medals, let’s hear alternatives people. |

Honestly, I’d rather wait to totally **** with concepts until we’re in a new season. If I were set up for peen this season and had been playing with hopes of peen, I’d be LIVID if you started ****ing with things in the last weeks of the season. Beyond the possible elimination of double medals in the last week, I’d highly discourage any sweeping changes to how things work between now and then. |

And your argument that it was a horrible theme was because it hurt you.
We can dance like this all day. You keep putting forth arguments to make things the way you want, and I keep putting counter-arguments to make things the way I want. Doesn’t really get us anywhere, but hey, we can do it, right?
Honestly, some hard facts are necessary, and until CZ actually collects them, I think we’re all operating kind of in a vacuum here.

since we’re not in RP, I’ll stick to saying that this would logically improve dom a lot. End dom at 9PM server time Saturday night. |

I thought we’d already dismissed that idea because it would exclude anyone with a social life from participating. I’d rather play against people with a bit of personality. |

Frankly when I run my anchor forums, I like to get a couple of Job Points. Putting it on Saturday would kinda put a wrench in this this. Also, social life. |

seriously generic you didn’t get it on the other thread? People go out on Saturdays. Have friends, parties, families. The mayority of people want their saturdays free. Yeah moving it to a day without school/work would be comfortable, but I think most want it to be a day where they are gonna stay home anyway, regardless of school/work next day. Putting it on Saturday will leave even less of the site population playing domination because NO ONE or at least the vast mayority would be willing to sacrifice their real life to get a bigger pixel on a little community on the internet.
TL;DR: Go play WoW, they love people who stay on on Saturdays. People here have lives. |
