#1419502523324170341 message @woeful osprey I see you got player Zango and not staff Zango
Everyone loves staff zango!
O wat?! I don’t want either
But why is Oskar so bad at risk?
the best people are working hard on the answer
Guys, who is ready for the Jokers vs butt rematch
time to send froggy and bango home again
Jokes on you. Well have tanner 1v2 you and win
Unfortunately your sign up was lost in the mail, better luck next time!
I can see all the channels and threads now, thanks frog
#1419502523324170341 message Great team, this one will probably go on to win it. I especially like the team name.
I'd expect no less
What can I say, I'm an Artist in my free time
There's also one more if you scroll up lol
i feel like this should be bonus points
Precisely
.
..
@woeful osprey Why isn't this in event manager
EM doesn’t really do teams tourneys
Or blame @winged scarab , whichever answer you prefer
do we have this with 2025 instead? or a different one?
!staff
theres no staff for this tourny?
fix the ping friends
@copper talon dont be shy what did u wanna say
I was just going to say there is no staff command for the 2v2 tourney as it isn't run on for. As for who is staff for this tourney, I'm not actually sure who is other than Zango and Frog.
thanks. @winged scarab
wrong frog
this @winged scarab
u r the best
Thats the logo
is the role only pingable by participants? I couldn't ping it so didn't know if there was a role for it
Try it now?
Breh
I can’t ping either. Only pingable by Zango
<@&1419503157976760320> as teammates we can normally talk even if not playing right?
Yes
Behold: The 3v1 strategy (I beat them all, obviously)
.
@winged scarab what happened to the upper bracket starting this week ?
when did we say upper bracket was starting this week
theres still a group to play
In our group thread
we did give 2 weeks so they are taking advantage
once done, we will launch
we cant start until that group is done
(aka tomorrow basically)
Are the matches always gping to be bo5 or is a bo7 planned too?
If your opponents get 3 first it is a bo5, otherwise bo7
hopefully youre just out
Bo7 got planned for Nov 14th 

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
What is SoS? I thought the primary tie breaker was head to head record
H2H is a bit messy here since not everyone on the same points played each other
But shouldn't it be active the teams that did play each other?
I was wondering where our group thread disappeared into, but this explains it
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
but then you could have a team who didnt have the chance to play one of the other 4's cause they were stuck playing teams on 5/6
H2H tiebreaker was really meant for the scenario where 2 teams were tied on points
not 3 or 4 or 5
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
.
That would suck but does it suck more than a team winning the primary tie breaker but not the third one which eliminates them? (I'm biased so idk)
Genuine question
ya maybe. i think when i wrote those rules, i assumed the implication was clear
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
Yes
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
Instead we lose based on .3 SoS 😭
I calculated it for myself last week anyway so I know we have less
We'll just have to disagree on the fairness of the situation but it is what it is I suppose
Ty for clarifying
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 😉
@woeful osprey has vampire chicken and hotbunz advanced to phase 2 ?
They have not

We can all collectively blame Kyle. And also emergency calls lol
.
💯
..
What if we just remove Oskars team and then everyone can be happy
Seems good
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
Alright buddy
Frog knows how it feels to get 3-0:ed
You’re next 
i mean it is in the rules as the 2nd tiebreaker. should it have been 1st? Probably
but here we are
Well it should be first if it’s applicable
And it’s simply not in the ai battlers case
Well thankfully this clears up our problem! Looks like team Plot Armor was just randomly dropped from the tourney!
Hope they had a good time while they were here
people are allowed to have a good time?
Not us
What is having a "good time"?
Idk, but I know it’s not the 2v2 help thread
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.
I would timker with the line up or strategy or take a bigger risk if need be. It's not that simple
I'd take it better than you all have. I've already said that we made a mistake in clarity. You don't listen, at this point you're just being an asshole
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. 👍
Next time you all can get the "fair" tournament you deserve 🙄
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%)
How did I a team cheat ?
they didnt
Why would you give them a warning if they did nothing wrong ?
They broke a rule, they did not cheat
The way you worded it, implies they did
My bad
I see staff is not engaging with my brilliant suggestion to have a 6hr long Freaky Sunday Risk-Off (working title)? I am apalled and dismayed.
It’s appreciated 🙂
Challenge staff to a play off to determine whether this is going to happen or not. 😉
"Risk-ception"
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,
🫵🤡's
You can't ever keep everyone happy. Thanks for your effort in hosting this tourney
Are you afraid of clowns? That's a clown pointing his finger at you as far as I can see. I can see that can be scary.
@onyx elbow I do appreciate your neutral viewpoint, though. FWIW, I don't think there's anyone acting maliciously here.
This is true. The most unhappy are usually the loudest and stickiest.
If you would want to oversee a lot of people, you need thick skin and clear vision (motivation) to survive for long.
You always keep me unhappy @woeful osprey ❤️
as the lord intended
why am i sticky
If staff can say that the outcome of the match decides what happens, I'll happily play a BO5 on the most gruesome settings @wispy crater can think of.
lol cheers for the luck Loma 🍻
can I choose from the plentiful secret mission settings that the staff have already thought up of, playtested, and used in a past 2v2 tournament?
You may use whatever you want.
ooo even better, I will be ready to provide a settings list upon Frog's request 
(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
I assume staff will soon make an announcement like the other tourneys already did, postponing the round at least a week
I can't find my thread, did it get deleted or just disappear ?
bumped it up for you
@winged scarab how is it going with rascals schedule?
it was forfeit
So ping us brother
next rounds threads will go out later
@lofty fossil
Oh its going together?
i've never seen 3ric lose slow rolls
you know it is bad when arco is the person telling someone to chill
I lose slow rolls, when I don't need to win them. AKA, when feeding them to Arco
Can we have some bo7 for the finals plz
Maybe 😉
If team butt wins, that will make up for Game 5 of our LB semis set.
Believe in Butt
You did it. I am proud.
Its all worth it then ❤️
Congrats guys
