MetalAtlas' Back To Basics Tourney

Re: MetalAtlas' Back To Basics Tourney

Oni is D5 automatically, that's been established a long time ago. Token whore (in my opinion) should be auto D6. It doesn't matter what their levelranks look like if you can see that their skill tokens look like that :P yes they still matter, but it's not as necessary to place. And yes, I do understand that you don't go completely off of skill tokens :P

To answer another question, the reason why some people are dual-placed is because they used to be in the higher division, yet since the site has been back, they're still gaining their skill back, and as the tourney progresses, the person in question will be placed according to playing skill at the present time, which will likely be in the higher level. If I understand Shayne's intentions correctly, you'll more than likely get rewarded the credits if you play in the higher division and place, rather than playing in the lower one and just taking the easy ride.

Sign ups are likely over if Shayne has definitely decided to end them. If this is true, then the tourney should start by or before October 28th.

With all of that being said, Shayne I'd like to compete in both D2 and D3, seeing as I finally AAA'd my first 9 (well, first recorded one) and I have been getting more and more AAA's lately. I do still want to do D2 just to see if I turn out to truthfully suck XD but I'll only accept D3 rewards if I get them.

cool, because an index player being able to AAA a song with slow jumps like Club totally puts them in D5 when they'll end up getting 100+ goods on something like EHHS or Garyoutensei, etc. It's about overall consistency. Being good at one song shouldn't put you at a gross disadvantage - there's actually a player in our tournament who has a FotBB AAA, and they're sitting in D4/D5 (iirc). Does that mean I'm going to put them in D6 or D7? Not when they barely have SDGs on any 10s and their overall level-stats as well as weekly/monthly level-stats don't show them doing any better than they were when the site went down.

Having all of the skill tokens really doesn't mean that you're D6 either - anyone can have anyone else achieve tokens for them in a secret manner (hiding IP addresses, theoretically).

Double-placements are eh...I don't think they're horrible, because yeah, a person might be on the borderline of two divisions and they may not know where they belong. But putting a person in two divisions when they clearly belong in one...never have seen my way through that and I really can't understand it.

Stavie shouldn't be D3 though - not with two level 12 AAAs.

Re: MetalAtlas' Back To Basics Tourney

Token Whore is definitely NOT automatically D6. D6 should be for people that AAA FGO songs (since it's the highest placement)

Token Whore is actually not that difficult to get, it just takes a long time.
I'd personally say D5. I've earned Token Whore myself, and it's a LOT easier than you'd think. I thought it was impossible for the longest time but realized it wasn't so hard once I got it.

Re: MetalAtlas' Back To Basics Tourney

Yeah D5 is probably a better place for people that cannot AAA FGOs

rushy, ^^^^^^^^

And guys, like I said, it was my opinion. I wouldn't know about getting Token Whore because I suck at the damn game, so chill >.>

And FotBB AAA and only D4/D5..............I guess to each his own........

Oh and:

Yeah D5 is probably a better place for people that cannot AAA FGOs

If this was to be carried out, then krunky wouldn't be in D6 and a whole bunch of other people wouldn't be in D6, yet they all have the ability to do well (not necessarily win) in D6.

To start off with, I dont see the point of running in two divisions, just be placed in the higher one and keep your own personal scores if you'd like for the other division.

Also, I think AAA 8's and 9's is a D3 placement at least, because I am a D2 and have only AAA'd Secret Zombie Room (5) and Fours and Lower. That's my opinion.

The issue is that everyone is at their own skill level, and I don't believe two people are evenly matched. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It's impossible to break everyone down into a perfectly even six categories; the range of skill is too wide. We have to take what we get and try the best we can within our division, wherever we are placed.

Placements are tricky and controversial, but placements can be made within a division accurately without some freak skill jump. Sometimes we forget, however, the competitive spirit when we bicker about skill placements too much. The idea is to improve own skills. It's not always about leading the division. It's like in the other tournament, I'm in a division with D2 players that are better (with PA) than I am. I know I'm not going to win the division, but Im going to do the best that I can to finish as high in the standings as possible.

So when we get down to "Am I in D(x) or D(x+1)?" lets take the higher road and challenge ourselves. That's what I think.

Re: MetalAtlas' Back To Basics Tourney

Well, this is a public announcement:

I am going to be helping Shayne with the running and placements of people in this tournament. For the rest of tonight and all of tomorrow for confirmation, Shayne and I will be comprising a final list of all placements. If, after the tournament has started, there are signs of a person playing at a higher ability than the division they are placed in, the person in question will be moved up, no exceptions.

Everything for the start of the tournament will be ready no later than 12:00 A.M. on October, 28th. Songs for the first round will be posted shortly after the post for the final placements.

Any complaints will result in a warning that it is just a game and not to complain. Any other problems will result in removal from the tournament.

For any questions or concerns about placements before we have our final say, please contact either MetalAtlas (Shayne) or myself.

Thanks.

Re: MetalAtlas' Back To Basics Tourney

Oh shiz firefox, you're so in :] I saw you lurking earlier, putting you in the list now.



AJ, we'll run the tourney with the people we have, thanks.

Re: MetalAtlas' Back To Basics Tourney

How about those that are not helping with hosting the tournament stay out of it and those that are in it do what they feel is right. How the hell are people going to learn tsk tsk tsk.

AJ, instead of telling them what to do, why not give suggestions? Telling someone that they should do something cause "it'll help" really just is like "oh I know the things your not doing and you should do them." Sorry bud just saying. No offense.
