I never said I was the player who's always ready and prepared for a tournement. If I did please point that out.

None the less, it isn't everyone elses problem that someone came late IF an automated tourny is happening. I'm not saying ALL tournements should be automated, and just because it's automated doesnt mean you cannot give a heads up by paging everyone ingame telling them there's a tournement.

Shade I've seen it on the Staff's point of view, being a GM twice, on different versions of XUO, and being a player, so I know exactly what the problems are and what can eliminate problems aswell....

See you're not even looking at it as a whole, your still stuck on the "people aren't ready" argument. Which can easily be solved by advising people ahead of time of an automated tournement.

ASIDE from that, there's in the tournement problems too..

Example:

GM I WANNA FIGHT FIRST, GM I WANNA FIGHT DIREWOLF FIRST, GM WHY YOU PICK ME VERSUS THE BEST PLAYER, GM WHY ARE HIS FRIENDS FIGHTING EACH OTHER, GM GM GM...

Get the drift? than GM's get pissed, kick people out, jail people for arguing, jail people for spamming because of unfaire match ups...

So Shade, All due respect, I know what I'm talking about from the jist of it. I've been a staff and player for XUO for over 5 years. I might be a *****, but that's my "roleplay". If there was a GM Trashtalker, I would be awarded and proud aswell... but when it comes to the technical things in the game, I'm well aware of what i'm saying, and how it can help this server by AVOIDING problems...

Ps; One valid point you have gang-bang is that your client crashes while your in a duel. If someones at the door or something you need to reboot, there's easy fixes ingame by scripts. doesn't mean the entire idea of an automated tourny is bad... have a script that PAUSES or something. stops the duel for x amount of time, and you can only use it x amount of times per tourny or fight, which ever...

There's tons of possibilities, we have maka's automated tournement bot that we can use as a foundation and make adjustments accordingly, the hard part is done i'd say.


--------My bottom line in all of this, because this can go on forever---------

It's to spead up game time, have less arguments, be more organized, be somewhat (competitive??) if that makes sense, towards those more MODERN games which are more advanced... Atleast it's not like everything feels like it takes a lifetime. Keeps people more mentally awake meaning they will want to go gank or pve after a quick tournement, where as a long tournement with tons of arguments and delays can cause people to log out due to boredom and annoyance.
