Posts from One for all and all for one - 3

I agree with the previous speakers, remove Roma, Yura, and Marat from the 3rd tier, and let the newbies breathe a little:D

How are things going?

Captains? Is this just one Bishop who will make the same choice in any case? :D

Three people have already voted.

What is this captain voting thing? :smile28:

What is this captain voting about? :smile28:

If you can't attend the Skype conference tomorrow at 9 PM for the live voting, you can send R55Max a list of your player selection priorities.

Three people have already voted.

How can it be three, if the third one is me? :eek:

Dirty voted in one of the posts, without even realizing it?:smile17: :smile08:

How can there be three, if the third one is me? :eek:

Three people submitted lists of player selection priorities for the team, based on how the players are divided into tiers. These are the three people I know. Perhaps there were also other captains who sent lists to R55Max.

Not a drop in his mouth, not an inch to the... left. It's a pity that the organizer's stubbornness and his endless confidence in his own rightness prevent him from listening to small adjustments. Of course, it's up to him to decide, but sometimes it's also necessary to listen to the players' opinions.

I don't consider myself dissatisfied. I am ready to play with any rules; I confirmed this by signing up for the tournament. I just don't understand why a tiny change that would benefit the rules shouldn't be made?

I'm afraid you're not meant to understand anything anymore. When it's said that the goal of the tournament is to conduct it based on the ranking, you don't understand (and I don't know how else to explain that this is the idea and the desire to run it in this format). When you are told that the goal of the tournament is to determine the captains by voting and distribute the rest into tiers, you also don't understand that. You keep saying that it should be this way or that way, but you clearly don't understand that the goal is not as you say, but something else, because the organizer, when creating the tournament, had the desire to conduct it in this particular format and definitely not without tiers. That's the goal. And it's not because I think you're wrong or I'm right; it's just that when I started creating the tournament, I had my own ideas and I wanted to make it that way, but you just don't understand or don't want to. There are some fundamental things in the rules, and changing them means changing the idea of the tournament, which, of course, you won't understand because you think you know everything... Now, about your 3-2-3. It's nonsense that you don't even seem to have thought about. First, the team selection starts not with a draw, but with a vote for the captains, and each vote determines who will be in what position based on the results of the vote. And when this vote is over, it's silly to talk about who is choosing from which tier (I won't explain why I'm against tiers, I don't think you'll understand). Why vote if, after looking at the vote, everything is replayed "according to convenience":confused: Secondly, if the 2nd tier currently has approximately equal players from first to last, then in the 3rd tier, in the opinion of many, the bottom is weaker than the top. This means that the strongest captains, having chosen, in their opinion, strong players from the 2nd tier, will still get practically equal players as opponents for their chosen ones, but in the 3rd tier, they will already be getting players from the bottom of the 3rd tier, and the bottom, as many write, is weaker. This means that the leading captains lose a little in the draw, which makes it possible to balance the overall compositions. If this is not clear, I don't know how to explain it...

Now, regarding your 3-2-3 strategy. It's nonsense, and I don't think you've even given it any thought.

Explain to me why it's nonsense.

I'm afraid you won't understand anything anymore.

When arguments run out, statements like these come into play. I will repeat once again that it doesn't matter to me; I signed up and am ready to play according to the rules you provide. I tried to discuss the regulations after the second tournament ended, but having a constructive dialogue with you is pointless because you are so confident in your own rightness that it turns into some kind of stubbornness. :smile35: I don't want to argue anymore; instead, explain to Stiky why the 3-2-3 scheme isn't nonsense but a real bid for victory.

3-2-3 will be the biggest upset of the year, in my opinion. Stiki, you have no idea how much I wanted as few people as possible to vote for me because, according to the ranking, I would become a captain, but I'm not ready to be a captain at all. But you are just a popular person, so now you have to take on the responsibility.

I didn’t want to either. But why can’t a player decline such a privilege after the draw, if they wish? I think there will be plenty of people willing to take my place. My skill level and time zone are not suitable for being a captain. I just wanted to play in some tournament, but this is a disappointment:smile27:

That's exactly why I didn't apply for the tournament. I would gladly play in the first and especially the second bracket, but there's a risk of becoming a captain... So you'll have to work hard, Sticky, like a slave :D

Captain Sticky would lead us through fire and water!

But why can't a player decline such a privilege after the draw, if they wish?

I think it's because many would decline, even just to end up in a different bracket and strengthen another team.
