No, they won't.

I've already accepted the fact that you're retarded and can't pull your head out of your a**.
Gezz, man, you're so bipolar. One minute we're cool, and the next, I'm like your sworn enemy.

I thought there was supposed to be specific guidelines being put in place for judging. It still looks like some people are either really inflating points or some are grading really really hard compared to the rest.

Will we be able to request comments this time around?


everyone is getting comments, as far as i know. ask vintrict how much i screamed at him for not including last round's comments.

go on, ask him.

Vince.

Like I've explained elsewhere: I could understand if I lost in a fair or legit way. Instead, Iden's character felt no pain, could take stab wounds, his wind-pipe getting crushed in, and an upper-cut with spiked gauntlets to the ribs, and keep on trying to break my character's arm.

On-top of that, he went on vacation for literally 6-8 days, and yet, he won somehow.

No, there's a difference between me being bipolar, and me heavily disagreeing with the stupid s**t you do.

I like you as a person, Vintrict. I always have; hell, I developed my character with you back in 05.

However, I dislike some of the things you do, and the way you choose to do things sometimes. I'm also a person who will come out and tell you what the ******** I think is wrong and why I dislike a certain thing that you are doing, which is exactly what I've done this entire tournament.

Never once did I say you were my sworn enemy.

Which I said, the comments will explain. As for the absence, part of the fight from the 5th to the 6th was slightly delayed on my part of clarifying things, so I didn't take that into account. He still fought until the 6th, which then, yes, he left. But his win came solely from the other areas.

Do you have to use that tone then to tell me? Saying it a bit nicer could have sufficed.

Maybe he had an absolutely deadpan tone while typing all of that.

You never know.

Vintrict, it seems that the only way to get through to you is with heated words. You're extremely pig-headed when you want to be, which as I've noticed lately, has been all of the god damned time.

Also, to your other post, I don't really see how he could have beaten me at all, and this again, I feel, falls back on you. His character had an immunity, which I'm sure was in the rules; it's in the rules of every god damned tournament I've entered on gaia.

He was absolutely immune to feeling pain. Any one that could have felt even a LITTLE bit of what my character dished out would have stopped. He crushed his own wind-pipe and didn't feel it. Somehow, though, that's better fighting/roleplaying to you guys?

These scores are an OUTRAGE! A travesty! I am shocked and appalled that the judges could decide on such an outcome! Was someone high?! scream

Some results, I expected. Some results however.. looking at it from a "I am no longer participating therefore I'm at least fairly unbiased here" standard, just seem bizarre.

I especially disliked the rampant amount of tie judges, as I've not really seen any fights this round that warrant a flat tie; it is very difficult personally, to ever see two individuals fighting reach a perfect equality in score, much less so many times in a single round. I even saw one fight where two judges reached a "tied" verdict, while one did not, and that just seems silly because it basically let the single judge decide who won or not with a wide variety of criteria varying judge to judge.

Also, examples like this [I'll take one from Yasuo v James]..

Yasuo: Grammar (4)/ Conciseness (4)/ Roleplaying (4.5)/ Strategy (4)/ Dominance (5) = 21.5 (versus Fier's 3)

Yasuo: Grammar (5)/ Conciseness (3)/ Roleplaying (3)/ Strategy (2)/ Dominance (2) = 15 (versus Fier's 3)

... Look at that. One judge stated by numbers, that Fier inched out Yasuo in fight control by a clean margin, while another judge stated that Yasuo blew James the ******** away in dominance.

How can you have such radically differing opinions on what should be a fairly static observation? If it's a close fight, granted, but what's with the massive boost in that 5v3 judging?

My problem there, is that such hyperbole wins and loses fights for people, and has the first round too - much as I hate beating a dead horse, KB's fight being a perfect example.

Let's again take that FiervYasuo fight and grade it purely by dominance to demonstrate my point:

Judge 1: 2 Y, 3 F.
Judge 2: 2.5 Y, 3 F.
Judge 3: 5 Y, 3 F.

Yasuo has 9.5 Dominance, F has 9 dominance. 2 judges feel Fierach had fight dominance, one judge feels Yasuo had fight dominance.

Yasuo wins.

Now this is varied of course by the fact we have several other stats, but it still progresses the same way, and ultimately, the above regularly occurs with the current system.
