Re: 12th Official Tournament
Congrats to dragonman2, hard_choices, lukeoid, theropfather, Riotpolice, FirstMaple8, rCaliberGX, and Shxfted for winning the ramen!
You'll have one week after FINAL ROUND CLOSES to contact me through here in pms or discord (Qrrbrbirbei#0980) to get your ramen on the way. 12 packs of the generic college ramen CAN be swapped for fewer packs of greater quality just as an FYI

All credit prizes for 4th through 8th in the divisions have been awarded. D8 has all 3 new event tokens unlocked for them.

Re: 12th Official Tournament
I'm curious as to why prizes for the tourney are being announced so far through the actual event. Why weren't the event tokens disclosed at the beginning? Like, players who have all the past event tokens weren't incentivized to try as hard in this tourney, only to see that prizes were added after they were already eliminated? Rob even asked me if I had any intention to play the night before I was eliminated and I told him, not really because I already have vROFL. Then very shortly after, Strangeprogram v0 is added to the prize pool midway through the tournament? That's pretty silly.

I will never be able to make people happy 100% of the time. This was my decision, so I guess be upset with me if you'd like to. But there will be other OTs in the future to achieve it. The other prize tokens added will be available during other events on the site as well. |

Re: 12th Official Tournament
At this point, I'm personally just starting to feel that this point was made in bad faith given that the initial point literally came out as this:

Re: 12th Official Tournament
I don't think they released the strangprogram v0 when they did with the intent to spite people who were already eliminated - and you probably don't think that either I'd imagine.
attempting to add excitement later isn't guilty of error imo but would of been more wreckless for example if they said "oh yah you'll win this" and then they like, downgraded the prize to a lesser token or said here have half the credits we mentioned at the start. edit: sorry for the the pile on magda :v I c aj and kayla posting next to each other in more than one way :P but just now im realizing the potential shit storm you mentioned can be very entertaining and thus the real reason for you're complaint (:<? nate is a robot what is 31 on bike altho he might improve before this round is over Last edited by V-Ormix; 09-28-2019 at 05:31 PM.. |

I don't think there was malicious intent behind the announcement either, like obviously Kayla is just trying to make an exciting tournament, yes. But at the same time, I truly think it's unfair to those who were already eliminated who would have been more motivated to perform to the best of their abilities by the token pool.

Re: 12th Official Tournament
I can't turn back time and change what's already done. To me, it was fun added excitement that to my knowledge people enjoyed. There were other prizes that were added before the top 8 as well that people could have strived for, such as the necklace. So I really didn't think it was a big deal.
If others have an issue with surprises being added I'd like them to voice it too, because frankly I really like having them and if the majority is okay with it I'd like to still do them in the future. But if that many people are pissed off then I wont.

Re: 12th Official Tournament
oh dang so its a debate between who's better and who quantifies their time worthy of it being spent on the game - the objective of one side is not to waste time while the other will gladly give it to achieve status or feel like they broke even :u
interesting stuff to think about after having played so long but never really having thought about :v edit: so morally speaking the harder you work the better outcome you should be able to deserve?? I'll stop budding in now :v editv2: OH but people who compete for raw competitions in theory, the prizes don't matter to them as much. More like icing on a cake... the plot line thickens in subsequence. editv3: my personal conclusion is that the mainstream player would be more driven to win a prize while unironically the more capable person of doing it naturally has the experience already to care less given their imagination...

At the end of the day, it's just a meme chart (sort of).

As far as the rest: there's still no one else to blame but yourself for the laziness, because at the end of the day, guess what: if you would have put in the effort instead of worrying about top 8 and there being "nothing else", you would have gotten a more favorable placement and still gotten what you wanted (and likely deserved). If you had the capability to push forward, you should have. You barely put any effort into recording attempts through just about anything in this tournament and as a result, likely didn't do anything to really figure out how to improve your scores in an optimal manner - you got eliminated and got the result you deserved. As I said before: this complaining is coming in bad faith. Put more effort next time and apply yourself. EDIT: changed full attempts to recorded attempts because that's what I meant Last edited by TC_Halogen; 09-28-2019 at 05:56 PM.. |

Re: 12th Official Tournament
I remember regretting not trying harder to push to round 4 cause I played the round so late in the week - but that was more of a pride thing and unforeseen reinstatement to D7 but I felt humble to be remembered as a 'D7' player.
All and all I made it as far as I did last time lmao and at no point did prizes even reach my attention but that's coming from me personally. The last time I was prize hungry was when vrofl was 500 mill in a day :O edit: also I remember getting top 5 in d6 one year after having had vrofl already but didnt know till the tourney was long over that oh yah vrofl is a top 8 thing guess I forgot Last edited by V-Ormix; 09-28-2019 at 06:03 PM.. |
