EAC 2012 - Smalltalk

My computer went to hell earlier today. Half the screen is just black ;/ I will have to send it in for repair, which will take some time like always. I'll try to download and install WA on a friends computer in the meanwhile. Anyhow I won't be seen on WN for the next weeks except for EAC ;X

Ow bl Crazy. Hope you are back online asap

We have a lot of problems with games between guys from a different time zone. This is way obvious since common people having to work weekdays, in some case weekends too. So for a next EAC, there is only one good solution against it.

But at first, the graph which shows the problem good enough:

Just split into two groups would solve this problem. About the system after those group games played, there we have several possibilities, one showed now. For 2013 it could be look like this:

Names are just names, esp. last two on america list, just to fill out the spots.

I'm sure a system like that would cause a lot less problems by get some games done. Worker vs Worker is a big problem as the first screen shows. There is no possible time weekdays. And when the weekend is kind of busy, we have a problem by making it before the deadline.

Thats just a little resumé after half a way of EAC 2012.

perfect graphic SPW showing the timezones issue, very well done

it's a great tool/guide now, but our best hope is everyone sees it/absorbs it/memorizes it --> instead of the worst, if everyone just forgets it and/or ignores it. cheers

i should be counted as an european ,cos im living in spain , and i dont think im gonna comeback to america ( to live)

franz · September 11, 2012, 01:52 AM

should be able to predict your own games I think

like crash with with the most 3-0's seems at a disadvantage not being able to vote himself. not a huge deal, just looks like a pattern.

Dub-c · September 11, 2012, 07:02 AM

Are free wins being counted towards the prediction game?

Random00 · September 11, 2012, 07:44 AM

nope.

I get your point franz, but it would be quite simple to manipulate the predictions then.. Not that I think that many would do it for 10 dollars, but still, you never know ;P I guess you (franz) are at a disadvantage as well in that case - the solution is simple: stop winning with such superiority in every matchday!!

Yep franz, this is significant. Random00 is doing it better with some 3-1 and 3-2 games. But thats not on purpose, obviously. But the higher your rank, the bigger handicap you have. This counts for last places too, btw.

Top 6 - Finishing program for the trophies!

Red --> Top 6 Opponent
Orange --> Position 7-20

1. Crash (12/24) WookA Almog Random00 franz SPW Dulek JohnMcClane
2. Random00 (12/22) NinjaCamel Guaton Crash daiNa WookA style Husk
3. franz (12/20) style lales WookA Crash NinjaCamel Crazy SPW
4. Almog (13/20) Crash seBa Crazy Guaton Husk Devilage
5. Husk (13/20) daiNa SPW lales Dulek Almog Random00
6. SPW (13/18) Dub-c Husk Guaton Crash Ray franz

Tough program for Crash! He has to play against 4 opponents from the top 6! Random00 and franz having only half of it. Matchday #15 with Random00 vs Crash and matchday #16 with franz vs Crash will be the next highlights for reaching the big pot. Everything is possible and I'm looking forward to these final battles.
