Someone else has shutout Sustain? How many times has she been blanked now?

Yeah pretty much what I was thinking.

News Credits: 3 · Fri May 22, 2009 2:47 pm

so do we have to post our losses, or is it up to the winner to claim it on you?

That was pretty cool

Also Chaoslock gave me my second loss. 8-2-0

When I was punching and kicking, I would only take off 1% at a time. Damn you :-x

Good battle though

Correct we do not have to post our losses, it is up to the winner to post their claim

Actually, reading the rules, you might have to.

# Results will be posted by participants, and must follow this pre-determined structure:
[Fight link], [winning commanders name], [losing commanders name], [score]
Failure to format results correctly will result in them not being counted.
(You may add as much detail/smacktalk about the fight as you wish as long as the result itself is obvious and is formatted correctly.)
# For each fight you will score:
3pts - For a 'Shutout' (Your opponent scores 0xp)
2pts - For a standard 'Win'
1pt - (Each) If the match ends in a 'Timeout' (a 'Draw') regardless of the actual published result.
0pts - For a 'Defeat'
Your 'league' score will be your total score divided by your total number recorded matches and will be published to 2 decimal places. Ties will be resolved by highest number of wins.

Neither Psychout or Burn have said anything publicly about it as far as I know, but reading this it could go either way. You could read it as you have to post all results from all your battles and the score you get (3pts to 0pts). With the league score running off of your total battles, I think you might have to post losses, so that they can tally all of your battles to determine your league score.

I have just because I believe that it's proper to post everything. It may be to my benefit if somebody forgets to post a win against me, but i would rather post and dealt with it now, then argue about something later.

Hmm good point.

Fri May 22, 2009 4:00 pm

decepticons, just follow the rules & no one gets hurt :roll:

Fri May 22, 2009 4:09 pm

Admitting your losses can be hard but remember, others (me) are doing worse than you
once you've seen my results list, posting your losses won't seem like such a big deal.

Autobots are the ones having a hard time following the rules.

So I've changed my single score post to match the requested format, and Northclaw is awake and in the arena, if slightly groggy.

He kind of did on page two we shouldn't have to post loses if everyone does it correctly and if they don't to bad for them.

We'll just have to hope it works, scoring this thing is going to be a bitch, and im not sur how ill keep up yet.

But how are they going to accurately count battles fought if not everyone is tracking correctly and posting all of their battles? The whole arguement for not posting loses is kinda weak and underhanded, I think. "If I don't post a loss to someone, and they don't notice it, it gives me an advantage." To me, that works against building a strong community, and says that you're not confident enough in your configuration to win without taking any advantage you can.

I just went ahead and posted mine just to keep confusion down. I kept them I just hadn't posted them.

Personally I feel we SHOULD be posting our losses as i'm of the understanding we need them to work out the final league score and such.

Psychout came up with the formula and as he said, it's going to be a bitch to score so i'll leave it up to him what he wants to do. I'd prefer people to post their losses and if they don't, well it's up to the scrutiny of individual players to bring such ommissions to our attention.

That and if you notice people are resetting. Yep ... watch your opponents! You never know if they're going to do something dodgy.

sounds like grounds for dismissal from the competition.

now utilize ur mod skillz & get to banning! :twisted:

Of course if it's found that people are just randomly reporting, well they'll get kicked out instead.

And i'm not seeing a name mentioned there ...

Fri May 22, 2009 5:12 pm

i'm just itching to hit the red 'ban' button B-)

News Credits: 226 · Fri May 22, 2009 5:15 pm

nyeh. Bannings won't happen anyway, it's just a "You're not allowed to play in this competition anymore, oh and we're taking your xp toys back too!" thing.

Which would be fun ...
