BeaIank | 1,674 Events Team · Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Hello worthy players! We should be moving on with the tournament, but I will be super extra busy in the next weeks and won't be able to run it properly. So, I would like your feedback on this. Should we run it between the end of US Thanksgiving and Xmas, run it in January 2024 or just go on and try to run it in the next three weeks? The qualified players are: @PII @Gloves @Bearcat-Doug @mbd39 @Richardhead @Dr. Morbis @NESfiend @docile tapeworm On the call list, we have @BlackVega @SuperJimtendo @G-type @RH Awaiting your feedback on this. ~Bea 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJimtendo | 1,209 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) If you're not prepared, probably better to wsit until proper attention to detail can be given to the elite players. Less chance of rule changes and exploits in the top tier. Edited October 8, 2023 by SuperJimtendo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackVega | 583 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) If this is supposed to be 2023 challenge then maybe we should all take our time and do it near the end of the year before xmas?? That is if I have a chance to speak here In the end of the day doesn't matter much to me anyway. I only participated in a few games and didn't focus on these challenges very much because of lack of time Edited October 8, 2023 by BlackVega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardhead | 2,925 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 My time to play is extremely limited until after Thanksgiving. So anytime after that would be perfectly fine with me. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, but I'll likely pass my spot to someone on the "on call" list to give a new player a shot at playing in the tournament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PII | 2,012 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) I will echo the vote for benefactor convenience with preference on the post TG - Xmas time frame. Edited October 8, 2023 by PII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 5,186 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Whenever is most convenient for you, though as last-string, I doubt I'll make the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,300 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 As a very important person who came on 17th place overall I agree with those who left the decision up to Bea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Morbis | 2,116 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I'll make time whenever it happens, but if we could do it before year's end, that would be cool since it's the 2023 tourney, but I'll be in regardless, so no worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving that it will most probably have 3 rounds, the tournament would start on 26 of November and ends by the 17 of December. Edit : Okay, I see now that Bea actually proposed January 2024 in the OP, but I'd say it is highly unlikely we do that for the sake of keeping things in 2023. If she's still overwhelmed in late November, I'll naturally step in to starts things off for everyone to have this done and finished before the Xmas Holidays.

NESfiend | 1,548 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Put me on the list of what works for bea, works for me. I like the idea of playing before xmas. I also like the idea of having a round between xmas and new years, the most unproductive month of the calendar year - if that works for mods. Not exactly within beas parameters, but close.

BeaIank | 1,674 Events Team · Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 It seems that the time between Thanksgiving and xmas is the preferable one. And we will have time to do 4 rounds for the tournament. This is nice. I already have a list of games in mind, but I will have to proof of concept the rules I am considering for them. I would run them starting next week, but I was dropped a truckload of new features to develop at work, so that would get in the way of running the tournament. I will keep you guys posted and I will post the list of games we will run this weekend. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m playing since it’s between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Good thing you aren’t playing though. I would hate to knock you out early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to distance myself from the internet and focus on my family time between Thanksgiving and Christmas since my parents aren't getting any younger. From one former champion to another, I hope you to win another one this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaIank | 1,674 Events Team · Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 It is definitely good that we postponed this. Work has been even more busy than I expected. There is a national holiday coming this week. I will be able to double check videos of the games I picked up to see if the rules I have in mind will work and post the details next weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here so I wanted to give one of the new guys a shot. I haven't played either of these games anyway so I doubt that I would have had the time to give it a proper effort.

BlackVega | 583 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I suppose watching just a bunch of n00bz slapping each other in order to get the 1st place is going to be much more entertaining rather than watching an army of titans going full berzerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
