      Why do you need to tell them that? Let alone publically?


      As an aside: I suspect it might be fair to suggest that people that are -very- close to the 150 game minimum are more likely to be put higher than they should rather than lower. I'm quite positive enough people might consider making a new account and trying to play 150 games "poorly" to get into a lower division. If I were Sprite- I'd choose the 'better safe than sorry' approach, and risk overranking people who are new. If you've only played 150-250 games I'm not sure you're dedicated enough to the site to get an indepth analysis of your skill.

        devonin, may you notify me when's your next Critical Thinking Tournament? It seems very interesting and I would like to participate in that whenever you plan to do so. Thanks

            How large is the group of people who both care that your skill seems to be lower than usual and actually look at your plays enough to notice that your skill seems to be lower than usual? Probably small enough to PM?

            Expect it either sometime in July, or just after the Official tourney ends.

                  Yeah.

                  Also--I hope you know that since this is your first time playing in an official; each division has one player that will simply play their song until they end up killing a kitten; that person is me (go look at my Hardkore Atomic playcount >_>).

                  I wonder what other players will be whoring songs until their fingers come out.

                    I refuse to play anything more than 5 times a day and that's probably going to get me eliminated pretty quickly rofl

                        Looking at your level stats--you're D3. xD

                              Heh, thanks. Doing well in D1 would've be nice, but I like a good challenge.

                                Just to get this statement out there, since I end up making it a half-dozen times every year:

                                80% of you have absolutely no chance to win.

                                Because there are no qualifying rounds to eliminate the people who aren't skilled enough, a huge percentage of people entering have no chance to win. Don't be upset by this, if there were qualifying rounds, you woudln't qualify, that's just the way it goes.

                                The skill differential between a brand new player who goes into D1 and a player who is just inside the D1/D2 border is very substantial, and that is true across the whole sequence of divisions. It's pretty much the case that basically, the last 32 or maybe 64 in a division are about the closest there are to -accurate- divisions, and the lower divisions will generally have 3 or 4 hundred people in them.

                                I'm one such person. I'll be in D2 this year, and I'll be eliminated by round 3 tops. Maybe 4 if I'm very lucky or whore songs very much. I have absolutely no chance whatsoever to win or even place, and I accept it and have fun anyway.

                                So please let's avoid the guarenteed string of "You put me in the same division as WHO!?!" posting that will come up when the brackets get posted, and just accept that the price you pay for not having to actually qualify to get in, is a better than average chance that you cannot possibly win.

                                Edit: ALso, since the D1/D2/D3 breakdown is the one that seems to make the most people have no idea where they will be:

                                Devonin, across 5100 gameplays, has 34 AAAs, and 239 FCs, with 54 skill tokens. My best AAA is a 6, with some 5s, and my best FCs are a couple 8s, and a bunch of 7s. I am most likely going to be placed somewhere around the middle to lower/middle of division 2. This should help you gauge where you are likely to end up.

                                Also, if you have -any- tier points, it's pretty much a given that you are D2/D3 minimum.
