Re: Dragons Fury Welcome Back Tournament

Evnoir, I just looked at your level ranks - you're D3 material lol.

Re: Dragons Fury Welcome Back Tournament

And then there are people who get moved up a division anyways.

You are still whining about that, god damn give it up already. >_>

Re: Dragons Fury Welcome Back Tournament

What all of you keep failing to realize is this is a 7 DIVISION TOURNAMENT. Normal placements of a D5 tournament don't apply here. You can't look at someones ranks and be like oh yea you're D3 material when you aren't looking at every single person in that division. We didn't just go ok this person has these scores they're D whatever we went okay these scores are close to this person who's close to this person, etc. Then we went through everyone's replays and went through weekly stats on songs to try to get a feel of people who got skill increases or drops. Had I been playing my full potential I would have put my self in D4 no problem and you go look at my stats and tell me I'm D4 in any way. It's not the same and I'm tired of everyone sitting here like oh yea you're this you're that I shouldn't be here blah blah blah. The structure changed because there's 2 extra divisions. And was completely screwed up anyways despite how hard we tried because people fought and argued with us about their placements. There are people that are getting completely crushed in some divisions that never said a word even when I told people if they wanted to move down to message me. Elite ninja frankly your constant complaining got you no where. I'm just frustrated as hell because I never even stood a chance. Evnoir AAAd the 1st 3 rounds with no effort at all. Continued to dominate the 2 rounds after that then pulls an awesome score on an 11 that's decently hard within a few minutes of the round being up (Had these scores come out near the end of the round and much whoring I wouldn't be bothered by it so much). Ic0 I know pretty well and I know he wasn't playing nearly his best when this started and it just shocked the hell out of me to see an SDG on hajnal now after how much of a struggle the rest of the rounds were.

Sorry but I guess I just want to know if we started this thing all over again would I still be in D5. I just want to know if people really think I am D5. I am fine with playing against D5 but I am not fine with people thinking that I am as good or even close to being at their skill level.

We said several times if anyone had an issue with placement to message us to talk about it. You never did all you did was complain each round only to end up pulling better and better scores by the end of the round anyways. You may not be wrecking D5 but you aren't getting completely wrecked either. I feel like **** about all the people that just got completely crushed because even though we tried our damndest placements were still not great. Altho it really doesn't help that the site was down so long and some people got skill back almost immed.

you're one step away from not getting your prize. Had you disclosed who you were right at the start of the tournament and not tried to play off who you were, there wouldn't have been problems. Your reaction to the movement was even more reason to the move, since you flipped out like a little child, cussing words left and right. Stop acting like we're at fault when you were the one who didn't disclose who you were at the start, unlike a few other people here.

@ everyone else: if you think Evnoir is D3 material in 7 divisions, he's not. I knew well before the tournament that Evnoir was an ex D3 player out of FIVE divisions, and I, as well as Kayla were contemplating putting him at D4 to start - I stalked the living hell out of him, watching as many plays I could and trying to catch anything different, nothing had changed, and there were no major improvements. He just managed to luck out and get himself back to how he was, which is what I was afraid of. Others were able to get themselves back to where they belonged fairly quickly and that's why they were shuffled around like crazy (a few of you know who you are). Nobody has any say as to where someone will belong within the tournament unless they are a tournament host - if you make a suggestion, we'd more than likely follow it or at least check up on it.

I'm frustrated enough that people continue to complain about this tournament when you're being offered an INSANE amount of credits within the prize pool (the biggest EVER by almost 1.5 million credits), and it just goes to show that no matter how hard you try to satisfy everyone, there's always a few people who go out and ruin it for the tournament hosts. I can see exactly why Sprite- doesn't want to host another official tournament - no one can seem to keep their head on straight and play.

We didn't have to go out of our way to plan this tournament and put in as many credits as we did - let it be known that I threw in nearly 95% of my credits into this pot in hopes that everyone would be excited to play and get back into it. Obviously, things never change.

Re: Dragons Fury Welcome Back Tournament

Noooooo AJ This is a crazyhuge tournament! Main reason I come on FFR nowadays is to play in this tournament

Re: Dragons Fury Welcome Back Tournament

And I thank those who are actually playing for the fun of it. I really do - you guys are what make it worthwhile to host the tournaments. There's always the few people who cause problems for the events, though.

To be perfectly honest, Kayla does more of the work when it comes to the tournaments than I do. People should be apologizing/commending her. I pick songs and typically help with placements.

AJ and I have hosted so many tournaments and it just gets so tiring to deal with the constant complaints and bs that goes on in them. We wanted to do a huge one for the return so we did but otherwise I think it's about time for a break for both of us. We've done a lot FFR related especially while the site was down. I'm like 24 weeks pregnant now I personally need a break from all the stress.

Re: Dragons Fury Welcome Back Tournament

@Elite: You pull up the final round with the very 1st score you posted for it. Can't sit there and go off one round, Nice try. Because I'm sure you'll pull another score out of your ass before the end of this round. But you know what for being a smartass just leave the tournament I'm not giving credits to someone who's going to whine and be a jerkoff. Later dude.

Re: Dragons Fury Welcome Back Tournament

This tourney has been one of the best ones ever on this site. You guys did the best job you could possibly do. The competition we've had in D2 is intense and we still dont know whose gonna win. Maybe a few people complained here and there but dont let the negatives be the focus of the tourney. Things like these are pretty much the reason why a lot of FFR players are still playing...

Re: Dragons Fury Welcome Back Tournament

You're a beautiful, sensitive pairing. The world needs a contingent of assholes just so we can appreciate the generosity of folks like you, AJ/Kayla. ^^

I really can't see myself improving Hero's Theme to sub-30 by Monday night, let alone getting into the teens like Findarian did. Did I feel like I got boned by some of the song choices? Hell yeah, but I bit the bullet and did the best I could on them anyway. I got new personal bests on each and every song I played for the tournament (even that mix-up in the third round...hehe), and I have the tournament committee to thank for giving me that motivation to keep reaching for something greater.

Re: Dragons Fury Welcome Back Tournament

D2, D4, and D6 and D7 are INCREDIBLY tight. I absolutely love the fight.
