^Not actually me. Reputation: +9/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 9786	Yeah I can understand that; I remember back during the first one- it was pretty crowded. I think the way I'm doing voting this year is going to speed things up a bit, at least in comparison to last year, since a lot of matches will be done in tandem. Logged

Never try, never fly Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 139	I hope I have time to make one heavily based on background rather than design (like the Nevermind, where you really needed to read the text to understand what you voted / did not vote for) and one more based on design than background, but I'll see. No red hairdos this time. Logged

^Not actually me. Reputation: +9/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 9786	It will pretty much be the same, with the exception of limiting the voting to one match at a time. Instead of taking forever to get through the divisions and individual matches, it'll help speed up the process. Divisions will be set up pretty much the same as well. I was going to follow the same general naming conventions as well. Logged

There are no general naming conventions. In 2005 and 2006, they were called "We Don't Need no Edu", "Clones", "Kitchen" and "Darkness" In 2007, they were called "Snowstorm", "Thunder", "Flood" and "Inferno" In 2008, they were called "Forest", "Light, "Fire" and "Water" Logged

^I was referring simply to 2007 and 2008; which is more elemental; although I do like Moldrills suggestion... lol I had been playing around with that idea as well, but I guess we'll see how it goes, since I probably won't decide until I'm actually making the bracket design

^Not actually me. Reputation: +9/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 9786	lol We'll have to see depending on how many people actually enter this thing My goal is 32 unique people... 32 is a good number. If everyone in that makes 2 characters, then we can have one super comp Logged

Reputation: +3/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 3374	I'll only be making one character though. I'll only just be back in time to see the start of this comp. Maybe I'll try and squeeze in some time to make a second, but it all depends. Logged

I choose you, Zorua! Reputation: +1/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1945	Couple of points: Well, Mammy: set up a poll: 'Are you gonna join?' with answers Yes, for sure/No, for sure/Haven't decided yet. Speak for myself: yesterday I finished my second character, so I should be good to go . If you need help with bracket design; the brackets from every previous competition have been drawn up by me. I think Moldrill's suggestion with the colours is a bit too dull. If someone submits two characters, will those characters be seeded in opposite parts of the competition? Meaning, they won't get to fight one another until the finals. « Last Edit: November 22, 2009, 01:45:00 pm by NeoGeo-x » Logged

With the poll; eh not *that* worried about it

With character- awesome

With brackets; I've already done the bracket design; but I haven't set up the division names and stuff yet... But if you wanna send me yours that'd be cool too

As for people with 2 characters; I'm throwing the second characters in the same pool as all the rest, so their position will be random all the same. While there is the inherent advantage that comes with having two characters already, I don't want to give one user an additional advantage by allowing them to have characters on either side

I guess ultimately though it all works out exactly the same pretty much. I was toying around with the idea of requiring secondary characters to stay on the same side as the primary characters to avoid having a final round with one persons 2 characters. That way the losing character (be it primary or secondary) would go directly to the tier two tournament.

I think though it's just simpler to randomize them all together instead of segregating them.

I'll get to work on the brackets. I've already got a splendid idea for the names of the divisions It'll be a lot of work this year though, with a losers' competition running as well. Logged
