Give people the freedom to speak, and the first thing they'll use it for is to trash you. In principle, Dirty did warn me, and I knew what I was getting into. Still, there were plenty of other voices, and the discussion was for their sake.
Vic was right in some ways when he talked about "whiny dads." Though I still think it wasn't a valid reason to deny the FTS registration in the IP-2.
OK. On the positive side:
- found an error in the rules concerning the bible (well, forgot it at the start :smile43: )
- increased the share of OH games in the tournament (the first open tournament on SoD generally has OH in the rules)
- formulated the question regarding the Tant for the community at least; if it's important, it can be incorporated into the HeroesWorld rules
- added a detailed fixed schedule for the group stage rounds (well, forgot that at the start too :rolleyes: )
- changed the round deadlines to minimize the chance of losing weekends
- thinking about what to replace the half-dead 8mm6a with
- accounted for the confusion with coefficients from the OFB and added a formula to this tournament's rules.
On the negative side, I'd also like to hear something concrete, besides "there's a bad aftertaste."
I already wrote — there is a part of the community for whom the very fact of open discussions is unpleasant; it leaves an aftertaste. Found an aftertaste in yourselves? Then you're part of that group. But that's all there is to it. :) It's not a problem, unless you make it one.
There will be 8 days before the tournament to calmly think and decide what the bottom line is from everyone discussing whatever came to mind, and ultimately choosing the best outcome. The ruleset has improved in places — that's the whole bottom line.
