Response to Tourney 4 - Length of Tournament vote

from IUR Dhurin (iurdhu@hotmail.com)
I agree with Tommy: we need more time to play: this is the real sense of my previous message ("Tourney 4: new ideas"). Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough, but I always forget that you're not in my mind and don't know what I'm thinking first... I proposed 4-6 games in a 1 month tournament because I think it's not possible to get "deep" in ten games at the same time... maybe when I was younger, and I played 4-10 hours a day... So, after I read your answer, I think THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is TO KNOW THE NAMES of the games!!! Infact if we know them some months first, we have all the time to learn them.

An example:

Apr: vote for t4, vote for t5

May: t4, vote for t6

Jun: nothing

Jul: t5, vote for t7 an so on...

so we have two months to learn t5 games, 3 months for t6, t7, t8...

The second reason to prefer less games: with 10 games I have this situation:

GAMES T2 T3

I like 3 3

I can play 4 3

I hate 3 4

Why do we have to play FOUR games we hate?

On the contrary, if the games are only 4-6, probably we'll hate only 1-2, and this is a reasonable pain: we have 3+1 months to learn them!

So, I'd prefer 6 one month tournament, each of 5 games, but... first of all: PLEASE, COULD WE VOTE FIRST?!

Last thing: I proposed another leaderboard to reward high scores (Tommi 3 first place!) because so I think that Tommi didn't stop at his first attempt on Tron! And if there is a percentage, or something similar, it should be the same thing for the second place, and so on... (for example: with T3 rules, why did Phil have to play to Ladybug, since he was virtually first, even if he was third with about 45%? There were other NINE games to play!)

Maybe the best thing should be to find a strange mechanism that links simple points like in T3 with percentage... and then prove it on the previous 3 tournaments to see if it works well!

Well, now it's time I vote: I prefer #1, of course; and I hope we could vote first...

Regards to all
