TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

Devonin has kindly offered several things for TWG as ways to potentially boost interest in the game, as well as potentially increase activity and visibility.

Perhaps the most important one in my opinion, is some kind of visual indicator on the front page for when a new game is beginning. I would quite like this, and I see no downside to this at all.

Other potential offers include a TWG tournament on FFR, with credits, or potentially a profile badge as a reward. I am more hesitant about this (really, I am just hesitant about the prizes), and the details certainly have not been hammered out yet, so this is more of an interest check than anything else for whether or not people would want this.

Basically, do you want a FFRTWG tourney (structure yet undecided; would probably be the turbo setup with 2 wolves, seer, and 6 vts), with the possibility of prizes? (Prizes would be in the form of profile badges and/or FFR Credits)

devonin chose the wrong option; his vote has been manually moved to what he intended

which is why his name doesn't show up when you click to see who voted for what, I think?

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

Yes that is why. There's no option to change my vote or to unvote even editing the poll, so all I could do was manually move my vote from the wrong one to the correct one. The display actually still shows my accidental vote italicized as 'the one I voted for' also.

I am incredibly tired right now, I'm surprised I even managed to click a button at all.

(Fwiw I have no idea what badges/credits even do)

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

Credits are basically just for unlocking the secret and purchased song genres.

Badges go on your profile and commemorate various things. We give them out for every Official Tournament etc.

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

vB's poll support is the actual worst and this thread is proof

dev's name is now viewable on his original vote because xel voted the same option

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

Weird indeed. But believe me I didn't suggest profile badges and then vote that I didn't like profile badges on purpose :P

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

Voted yes and yes to both prize idea, but I'm actually really indifferent on if we even have prizes at all.

I don't dislike the idea of them though, and both are valid ideas I think newcomers would dig.

Not sure how TWG can even be structured for a tournament personally, but I'm for trying

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

Yeah, I am alright with prizes/no prizes. I don't think the prizes will have any real effect on user turnout though. (i.e. players that aren't interested in TWG won't be interested in it just because of credits)

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

Prizes that don't mean anything tbh. Playing for fun > Playing for reward.

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

I did that have that massive spreadsheet a few years ago that calculated games and points per game and what not, showed % of wins or games won and the top 9 would go to a finals game. If that were just automated so I didn't have to do it manually that would be really fucking cool. I can link for reference...

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

I guess i'll clarify my vote

Non "win a game for a badge that gets held every so often" prizes are totally fine

I loathe the exclusive ones.

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

So no physical/tangible prizes of any kind at all unless that exact prize can be given out every single time?

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

I voted no prizes, but I would be fine if this was the circumstance.

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

badge prize for winning as mafia and winning as town or winning as neutral evil would be pretty neat addition, it could also bring more people to twg from the game.
credit prizes aren't relevant to me and tourney is interesting

\o/

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

i voted for the wrong option because i'm blind just imagine my vote is with xiz

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

The heck are credits and why would i want them

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

With how much activity is going on the twg threads are always at the top of most recent threads anyway lol

I'm totes down for badges and other prizes

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

they allow you to purchase/unlock the purchased and secret songs in the actual game of FFR

they're beyond irrelevant now as you could probably just post in a thread somewhere "HEY CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF CREDITS I NEED TO PLAY PLANET KARMA" and someone would probably give it to you in under an hour

they're used as prizes in official and unofficial FFR tournaments, usually.

Re: TWG Tournament Interest Check
 

I know I was making a joke about how irrelevant they are
