soooooo -- the final match doesn't determine who makes playoffs but it does determine seeding (based on SoS). that match is yet to be scheduled, but hopefully tomorrow

Idk I'm probably just salty because defaulting to the third tie breaker means my team doesn't qualify but with the primary one we would've

winged scarab
#

H2H tiebreaker was really meant for the scenario where 2 teams were tied on points

#

not 3 or 4 or 5

jovial widget
#

I understand the reasoning that but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it, but rip ig

#

Probably should have clarified that in the rules though

Genuine question

winged scarab
#

cause look. full transparency here. you beat schosel and eaze. and eaze beat situ empire

#

so by your interpretation of the H2H rule, youd be ahead of schnosel and ahead of eaze. and eaze would be ahead of situ. and we would have to tiebreak situ and schnosel.

#

but they didnt have the same opportunity of playing the other teams on 4

jovial widget
#

Yes

winged scarab
#

and based on SoS.. they were playing teams on more points

#

so theyre punished for playing better teams

#

it doesnt make sense

#

if it was 2 teams tied and they played each other. than yes. that works

#

but it isnt the case

jovial widget
#

Instead we lose based on .3 SoS 😭

winged scarab
#

frog is recalculating the SoS btw

#

there was an error in the formula

jovial widget
#

I calculated it for myself last week anyway so I know we have less

winged scarab

tiebreakers are always gonna suck

we're just tryign to be the most fair we can

jovial widget
#

We'll just have to disagree on the fairness of the situation but it is what it is I suppose

#

Ty for clarifying

woeful osprey
#

Zango’s point about not having an opportunity to win a tiebreak (due to playing teams with more points) is the key here. H2H can only actually work with two teams.

Three weeks ago we had a plan to make sure we won the head to heads that mattered to get in. It's not very cool to have the entire field looking at one group of tie breakers then switching last second cause it didn't look like you thought. And we shouldn't be handicapped either because we didn't draw the best teams. I'm done from here. I'll drop it in this thread but I think it's crap. And I think if you took a blind survey it'd show a lot feel like I do and not just the salty teams that didn't make it because of a switch in rules after the regular season was over. Good luck @wispy crater kick their butt please

At best that's a stretch of the truth, but I'm guessing you're just lying. There's no possible way you could have known 3 weeks ago which teams would tied with you. You cannot plan to beat teams you're tied with weeks before you end up tied with them.

To use your logic about SoS in a different direction ("we shouldn't be handicapped either because we didn't draw the best teams"), why should the other teams be handicapped because (1) they had to play harder teams and (2) they didn't happen to play other teams that ended on 4.

Sorry it didn't work out for ya, but that's not on me. You had 8 chances to win and you had the easiest schedule of any team that won an equal number of games.

#

And, just to be very clear, there's a big and important difference between "switching last second" and "clarifying". Not a single team asked about how h2h works when there are 5 teams tied. If they had, we could have clarified that earlier.

Don't try to claim that we changed some tiebreak rule just to screw your team.

There is a very easy solution to this drama: have everyone on the same points play a short tourney vs each other. BO3, all on a saturday or sunday in a 6 hr time slot. More risk, fairer for everyone. Also, more chaos 😉

SOS is definitely the best tiebreaker for Swiss. Should it have been in the rules? Probably. Would it have affected how anyone played? I seriously doubt it. U should be doing everything u can to win each match regardless

I said we had a plan to play the ones we knew about. Seeing where you are in the standings and coming to a conclusion those games are deemed important I'm not lying and to think prof and lebruh and myself are all lying is a crazy statement.
Second we (lebruh And myself) joined during another team flaming out and we saved it. So. It wasn't 8 weeks. One week we were told, even though your opponent clearly didn't follow the rules, didn't read the rules they win and you lose cause they're new.You set up the rules. Well in the rules the Number one Tie breaker is head to head. Clearly stated, how are we to know that what you really meant was if by chance five teams tie, then what is in the rules really isn't the rules, so don't bother reading them and just ask the king. He'll change them to his liking, screw the serfs following the rules. They really are just broad guidelines. I don't mind losing or I would have left a long time ago. What I find disgusting is you tell us to use a fair play system, but aren't doing it yourselves. Again I don't mind losing. It's been happening to me for years in body parts. I get you've made your ruling but you want to get people to join the tourney scene. This ain't it brother. You get more with honey than vinegar. Say we screwed up. We got it wrong, next time we'll do better. I could have lived with that over well there were 5 of you so obviously this is how that would work. Sorry you spent so much time lebruh trying to figure out what was needed to advance. Next time check with us first to make sure what we put in the rules is what we meant. Duh
.. not a good look frog.
I look forward to watching the playoffs. And I do appreciate the time and effort you put in every tourney to deal with jackasses like myself. But you aren't gonna bat 1000. You missed this one. just step back and what if it was you in our shoes? How would you take it. Good luck in the playoffs and thank you again for your efforts to make this a better game.

while we're at it

#

One week we were told, even though your opponent clearly didn't follow the rules, didn't read the rules they win and you lose cause they're new.
this is a lie

You claimed they were cheating. We looked into it and deemed that a warning was sufficient. You (1) didn't actually prove any cheating, just made some big claims after a misplay by your team and (2) don't get to decide the punishment for your opponents if they do break any rules

#

Good luck in the playoffs and thank you again for your efforts to make this a better game.
Don't do this. If you're going to go after someone, don't fake nice at the end. Stand behind what you're saying, you very clearly are not thankful

#

Sorry you spent so much time lebruh trying to figure out what was needed to advance. Next time check with us first to make sure what we put in the rules is what we meant. Duh
As I've already said twice, if anyone, literally even a single person any week leading up to now had just asked then this would have been clarified earlier. I'm not sorry that anyone spent time trying to clarify rules on their own rather than simply asking. I am sorry that we weren't more clear from the start

#

And as I said in DM's to you, thanks to you and your team for encouraging me to never host anything here again. 👍

To be clear this was about the action not you personally. I think you are a great ambassador for the game. I can compartmentalize the 2. Again it wasn't personal it was the action as you are a leader not always easy but to keep your stress down it makes it good to be able to do that. Just like I know you're mad right now and seeing red. This wasn't to paint you in any light. It was about the rules and the implementation. I did say a couple things that I apologize for they were directed at you and that was wrong. I am emotional as well so I have a brain fart now and again. Maybe it's because I'm missing so much of me and have had 2 strokes. Wish my folks had better genes or I wouldn't have abused my body so much when I was younger.

And I'm always genuine

And mean what I say.( Unless it's right after one of you kill me, then maybe 50%)

Hey Frog, I think you need to practice a bit more empathy here.
I agree with you if you're saying they're out of line with their claims. From your perspective they're mostly without any reasonable grounds. And they haven't been transporting the kind of nice you would've want to get back for the amount you invest into this event.

To be empathetic towards them, you could say:

  • They may not have been very intelligent with their claims, those can be disputed easily. But they're full of passion, which makes for the majority of their movement
  • They have a different perspective than you. Many people have different perspectives and it's important that you have them all. So they must be able to stand up for theirs.
  • While they may not have been giving you great or even valuable feedback, their appreciation for what you do can very well be genuine.

Why this might matter to you:

We're social beings. We need those kinds of relationships with everyone around us. The fact that you would not want to host an event again because of the kind of relationship this put you in is proof of your involvement.
As a social being, you profit most by understanding others. Only then can they give you as much as you can take.
So, you might not appreciate their intelligence, but you might appreciate their passion.
You might not see their perspective, but your perspective can only shine because they have theirs.
You might not appreciate their feedback through action, but you can accept their attempt to show you appreciation through directly spoken words.

Even if all that wasn't the case, you as a social being are the one that profits from making a case for them, to practice empathy.

And I'm saying all that because I hate to see you suffer from this interaction. Because I do want to share and give you some more feedback you might be able to appreciate more.

#

Because personally I've been entertained by all of this and I think all of you are quite valuable for that. But that's only possible for me because I have the opportunity for that luxury of seeing if a bit more differentiated. So let me give some of that back. :)

Perhaps true. But I draw a line at being wrongly accused of changing rules and being lied about. That line is even less flexible when I volunteer my time to help out and the "thanks" I get is, to quote Loma elsewhere,

(In response to your DM Frog.) Sorry you feel that way. Especially if you quit hosting. I'd feel awful if you stopped I'll honor your wishes and steer clear. but it doesn't mean I'm leaving a group because you're in it. I ain't the one taking it here. i feel i should try to apologize to you one more time. I truly took it a little far even for me. And when I saw You all making fun of us. It hit me hard. like i was in front of a mirror you're one of the best players and people follow you. I don't want those two being looked at differently because they are associated with me. And you're one of the best tournament organizer's directors. Whatever you want to call them in our space. Why do you think I'm always asking you your opinion but I get it. I took it a little far so if you want to block me you don't want to talk to me. It's all good man. I'll stay out of your lane. I'll stay out of your way. Again, Please don't hold this against the other guys cuz it wasn't their fault. Btw it Took you long enough To realize something I knew months and months ago. You and most of the guys don't care for me. Well, said it out loud to my face anyhow. I feel it's because I'm handicapped and can't play like you all and I'm kind of , ok I am an ass ****Maybe we can move on from it. Maybe not. I'd still practice on the opposite 2v2 team if you can't find someone. You can find me and kill me as always. And try not taking too much damage. Me I can practice dropkicking a frog to the moon. Good luck to you.
And to SMG and the staff and players. I wasn't showing much in sportsmanship yesterday. My brain just doesn't function the same and it's getting worse. I'm ashamed of my conduct with frog and zango. Not the standing up for my team but the way I conveyed it. I put this here because I know you'd see it. And as you said you blocked me.

Maybe I'm slightly overreacting but I'm not sure the game is playable right now. It could be different for private matches but in one game I just had it skip my turn while setting me in automatically (which just placed my troops around the board randomly), It did not give me time back for a kill, and on at least 50% of my rolls it refused to give me the percent of my roll (and it would show up 0% of the time on larger rolls). Not sure how anyone could play tournament games with that happening
