Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

I'm being pedantic because I think it's silly to give out something just for participating, alright sure. It was meant to be an achievement, simply participating is not.

To my knowledge you can't list only specific ones, I'd personally rather not have the participation badges on mine. Either you show the whole block of badges or none last I knew and I just looked at my profile and saw no way to select specifics.

I see nothing wrong with having participants listed somewhere, but having them in the same place as top x badges is a bit strange to me.

Certainly nothing wrong with having them from an archival perspective, but that should be sported elsewhere, haha.

As to where they're displayed is something else entirely, but even if participant badges were removed, people will still have signatures listing their participation and what not.

Maybe this is from the perspective of someone who has never seen profile badges as elusive, but it doesn't feel like you're giving out participation badges as an award for participating (and you shouldn't). It instead feels like you're certifying that someone has participated. In the same way you certify that someone was, in fact, the winner of a particular division.

If your going to quote me then actually use what I said and not edit it please.

What?! Asking the common decency of not having words put into your mouth?

THIS IS THE INTERNET!

Here's my hot take on participation badges.

Even if you don't get Top 16 or whatever (my personal best placement is 30th) it's nice to see that you have, in fact, been getting better over the years. It's a testament to all the hurdles you've overcome, all the personal bests you've set. And when you get stuck, just know that with diligence and determination, this too shall pass. Just probably not as fast as you'd like it to.

Well now.

1/ I didn't put words in anybody's mouth. Yes, it was PsychoAngel's -opinion- that 'getting participation badges is meh' therefore, to characterize her position as "participation badges are meh" seems 100% in keeping with her stated opinion. I didn't say she was presenting it as a universal fact, I quoted the -sentiment- behind the statement for -comedic effect-

2/ It was a joke, see the end of point 1

3/

it's nice to see that you have, in fact, been getting better over the years.

You can live your entire fucking life by this. Amen.

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

my opinion is we should ban jokes in the main OT thread and create an OT jokes thread, top 8 posters get profile badges

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

Yeah actually, I can see the problem here. The files would need to cater to all play styles and skill types as well as contain various patterns. Kinda difficult to determine from just 2 files and I can see multiple complaints arising from it. Scrap that idea :P

i kinda like that idea actually.
I feel it's a step in the right direction

I think we would need alot more than 2 charts though,
maybe like iono... 100?
consisting of all difficulties
and have varying patterns and lengths
maybe they could have a weight distribution system so our skill level can be reflected by our greatest strengths
so others around our skill levels can possibly be better at different things than we are, and significantly worse at what we are good at.
Making tournaments much more dynamic and interesting

hey...wait just a darn second >:C

Woop woop I hold round 1 D3's #1 score as of this post, not gonna bother AAA'ing unless I'm gonna be cut. Maybe I should just do it anyway, I'm only 2 goods away [/brag]

Re: 11th Official Tournament

ps. please don't whine about any skillgaps within divisions other than d7, in every other division 8 weeks is enough time for the worst player to close the gap against the best player assuming the best player stagnates in skill

Wow those are words
