Thoth Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 64 would just be too many to handle. Lets leave it at 32. And I can't please everyone. But i am staggering the registration times to allow for more diverse players to participate. Link to comment
Plague Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thoth has just posted a reply to a topic that you have subscribed to titled "[Official] PokeMMO Winter Bash!".------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- If enough people show interest I may open up 64 slots. Do you guys think we could get 64 people? Ill ask around. >Come to thread >Post is edited Well that was disappointing. And yes, for a Shiny Jynx you could probably get 128 participants without breaking a sweat. I understand you "can't please everyone", but if you don't want all of the typical tournament goers to be participating, why have it be a tournament? Why not some other kind of event like that Magikarp Contest or that Safari Contest? Link to comment

But i am staggering the registration times to allow for more diverse players to participate. Why not just do a multi-part Tournament? 64/128. Narrow it down to half of that one day. Narrow that half to a quarter of it the next day. Final Rounds the third day. Doesn't even have to be days consecutively. Can make it a Saturday/Sunday of 3 weekends in a row. You can easily find enough people. EASILY. Link to comment
Thoth Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 I will take this into consideration guys and talk it over with the Higher Staff Plague and fany 2 Link to comment
fany Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 wouldn't it be possible to make the tournament a 2 day one? 32 players per day. haha Link to comment
sxxybeast Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 or just have as many people sign up in one day as possible. then randomly pick 32 contestants. doesnt have to be one day. doesnt have to be 32. but randomly picking the participants reduces the need for timezones. just a suggestion :) Link to comment
Jag Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think between now and then, GMs who hold other contests, like say the magikarp one, should try to make it so that the winner and possibly runner up have a chance to enter. Or at least hold one day in advance contests either on forums or pokemmo. Like let the people know a contest is going to happen at 6 pm est saturday, but don't let them know what the contest is. I think that'd be a better way to recruit people. I literally browsed the forums for 3 hours today, then left for 15 min to make pasta, and that was the 15 min registration opened and closed. tyler and fany 2 Link to comment

If this is what u gonna do, I will have to give up my spot, I cant play 24th of december as that is when we celebrate christmas in my country and I doubt it would be taken lightly if I sit and play a computer game during the christmas dinner Link to comment
Bran Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think this will only be fun if you don't allow Pokemon loaded with a bunch of TMs not earned on one account into it! Link to comment
ggnore Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think this will only be fun if you don't allow Pokemon loaded with a bunch of TMs not earned on one account into it! Grinding alts is part of the game. Volpi 1 Link to comment
xiano45 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I want to be in the tournament please, do not understand much as I joined but hopefully register :( Link to comment

How pissed off would you be to put together a specific level 30 NFE team for this 1 tournament only to not get drawn out of a hat on the day? These NFE battles, especially with a lack of Chansey won't even take that long. 64/128 slot should be no problems as long as you run multiple games at a time. Pretty much any online tournament in existence will run every match in a round at once and that will give time for double elim as well. This is pretty short round pokemon, so even 5 or 6 battles being done at a time with multiple refs watching each one could run through pretty fast. Link to comment
AestheticsBrah Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I can't believe some people in here are trying to convince staff to quadrupled the entrants and make it a several day tournament. Don't you guys have plans for the holidays? Link to comment
Thoth Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Its two days before christmas. I have a feeliing we will have trouble filling the 32 player slots. Link to comment

Did you even read what I said? I said multiple weekends. As in: Round 1: December 23rd. Round 2: December 30th. Final Round: January 6th. 3 Weekends in a row. 1 Round per weekend so it gives people the week to do their Holiday stuff. I can't believe some people in here are trying to convince staff to quadrupled the entrants and make it a several day tournament. Don't you guys have plans for the holidays? I assume this is pointed at me because I'm the only one who made that suggestion. And you, as well as the person I quoted above, can't read properly. Read what I just said to them. My God people.
