Welcome to Gaia! ::

That's exactly what I'm saying.

As if those three had the power to do anything. Creating matches is solely in the judge's repertoire. Not the contestants. They stay out of it.

More or less. If you're just sitting down to write a fight post, unless it has a bunch of fluff or some long-winded explanation of REAL, ULTIMATE POWER included in it it should take about 15-20 minutes to write something that is solid, clear, and enjoyable to read without dragging it out beyond what needs to be in there.

20 minutes per post, x2, is 40 minutes per exchange. If you're talking about 10 posts per person that's 400 minutes (or just under 7 hours) of "both people at their computers doing a back-and-forth".

Ideally it would mean that a fight would conclude in 2 or 3 days of a couple posts each night (assuming say, 2 hours of dedicated posting gets done, or they're a little slow at it but put in 3 or 4 hours).

That's a best-case scenario pretty much. We all know that a lot of people aren't around every day, or at the same times as everyone else, or can sit here for a number of hours waiting for responses, or are able to write a post in 20 minutes.




I'm not saying anything. Just breaking the numbers down for you all.

That post time estimation is a bit assumptive.. it takes me pretty much 90 minutes, minimum, per fight post. Some people are slower than others.. and have obligations restricting their time.

Just saying.

It's on like Donkey Kong.

Long as I'm allowed to kill, deal, deal a thousand times over.

Option Two Brethren, you've already won as a heads up.

Still think this is ridiculous, and my vote and thoughts have not changed. Option 1.

I'll also jump on the "where's the scores" bandwagon if they're not out today, although I have been previously fine with waiting. This is getting to be too much, though, especially given the deadlines keep changing. Might as well just say "they'll come when they come." People will b***h anyway.

I don't see the problem with more transparency on the part of the judges, such as giving simple status updates or notices of absence. To me that's preferable to giving excuses after the fact because, really, all the judges have been working nonstop on it in their free time? Really?

No one's asking people to give up their lives for it, but the fighter's part is over, and now it's the time the judges are needed most. If you're busy, you're busy. Say so. But if you got into judging to do it half-assed or by ridiculously craving this minuscule amount of power and status, own up to it.

Replace whoever is fighting Roen, with me, I'll take on that free loader.

Seriously, Acro, this has got to be the fifth time I've had topoint out to you that my name isn't Lace. sweatdrop
