Champions of Cardhuntria: Discussion/FAQ/Grouping

:coughs:
I'm just going to tl;dr the last 7 posts:

"We've completed the Champions of Cardhuntria tournament!
It was a lot of fun, excellent matches, and everyone learned a lot-
And there were some excellent contributions, especially from the refs, who offered their time for reffing, organizing, and even recording matches!
Wow, golly gee, am I so very happy to have participated with such great people!
Congratulations to all who made it through the tournament, and thanks for sharing your time with us!"

Spoiler

Well, okay, that might not exactly have been what the posts said, but it's what I am saying here, and since I'm going to use tournament host powers to 'accidentally' knock some white-out on the above posts, everyone is going to just have to take my word that the above posts were the same in content.

Prize listing should be up later today

 

And the final match is up now!

 

That commentary from minute ten on is like rubbing salt into my wounds. Ofc it looks bad and ofc it is a mistake and ofc no experienced player would have done something like that.

 

The rewards are finished being compiled and checked [by me] for errors.
Just waiting on Flax's okay [which is as much official dev confirmation of prizes as it is confirmation I didn't screw anything up] to post the results.

 

@Han Lee and @timeracers thanks for subbing and sorry for getting angry yesterday.

The situation was not that easy for me, since I put a lot of work in a much better build than the one with which we played, but @WhiteSorcerer did not submit it. Also I stand up in the middle of the night to get a sub for @Ewemax, but the sub did not show up. (Turned out he fell asleep, what is more funny than anything else, but at that point I did not know that.) Then also @WhiteSorcerer did not show up.
The purposeless suicide of @timeracers was the straw to break the camel's back.

I learned that a reliable team is the most important thing followed by a direct communication.

 

I learned that this format allowed for some incredibly interesting builds and playstyles, but is too demanding on everyone involved

Also learned that spinning around violently enough can have some very positive results..

 

That and the Move team were important. But just when there were mistakes before. At least for our team that was true.

Better than the team move and violents spins were the Quick Runs, which often lead to wins and there was not really a way to play around. As far as I have seen, Diamond Moccas were not only in our team the most used boots, and most often the team which drew cards from them won.

That is true. I think because of this I would not do it again. Standing up in the middle of the night is nothing I want to do usally for a game and if there might be a big disappointment waiting, than even less.
Maybe bigger teams would do the trick. And also having some people from different time zones involved, to be able to play at different times.

 

I don't mean to be rude, Obernoob, but I feel like there's a certain lack of sportsmanship coming from you on this topic. I understand that you encountered difficulties in organizing your team and coordinating strategy with your stand-ins, but this isn't doing anything positive for you. It's disrespectful to your teammates, the people that volunteered their time to be substitutes for you, your opponents, and the coordinator and judges who put a lot of time into making this tournament happen.

For what it's worth, you had my respect as an opponent and I enjoyed our match.

 

That is unfortunatly true. As I said, I am sorry.

Until now I did not find any way to handle my disappointment. I enjoy close matches, I dont mind to loose. But I hate throwing a match in which I put a lot of effort.

If you have a way for me to handle this situation I would love to hear your advice. I have this problem also in real life, when at university someone does not show up to a teamwork and the team has to do the work for him. I hate this situation, I get angry about it and I will show my anger. The good thing is I found enough friends which think the same way and we do the team work together.

Nice euphemism.

I respect you and your team as well. I also have a great respect and I am thankful for the coordinators and judges.

 

I won't be using this format again.
It'll take a bit to make a presentable version of the new tournament structure, and I'll need to get it approved, but it should run a lot smoother, and be a lot more accessible than this one was.

 

It will take some effort to let a Coop tournament be more smoother than this. May be having a weekend were everybody needs to have time? But then there is still the problem of different time zones. I look forward to see your solution.

I finally found away to get over it. Until now my assumption was, that TimeRacers did know what he was doing. But actualy his rating is not as good as I thought, He is posting here alot and is playing a while, but apperently he is not playing a lot MP. So probably he did not know what he did, when he walk next to the opponents. Under this assumption it was just lack of knowledge and a premature click, nothing else. I guess I did that mistake in the beginning of my MP carrier also sometimes. The main trick of MP is to react to the opponents moves and to have at least a move left, great for this is a hidden card and perfectly something like a Team Walk.

 

Hurray for elven maneuvers!

 

Or Sparkling Cloth Armor.

 

If anyone wants to brag about what they end up getting from their chests, you have my curiosity's attention

Turquoise Boots :')

 

Thanks for asking! My 3 epic chests, 6 gold chests gave me Halloween item Witchy Robes and the following epic and legendaries:

Aataabulous's Boots (duplicate)
Dark Chain Shirt (duplicate)
Bniff's Boots
Ettin's Club
Robe Of Useful Things
Staff Of Freezing Fire

St. Xarol's Mace (new!)
The Bludgeonator (new!)

Those two new legendaries put me at 95 % collection rate.

I got just epics, so I am still at 95%.
