EAC 2014 - Smalltalk

@Ray, it was too complicated. For more details, ask Random. Besides its not a big deal and everybody has 2 free weeks. Thats also nice imo.

And we can enjoy EAC some more days.

Is there any punishment for joining and backing off?
Edit: not that I want to or anything I just want to know since barman got kicked out.

By the way, why do two people have a free round in one round? Why not play against each other in that round?

For example in round 1, chuvash and lales have a free round. Sure, they could play against each other. But then check round 2, where chuvash has to play against lales. So you don't gain anything by changing the schedule there.
If you wanna avoid giving two free rounds each matchday, you had to set a whole new schedule starting at matchday 3, which is a very complex task, given this new schedule has to have the same first two matchdays than the current one.

Shame on you, barman! What about replacing him, is that an option? Free is back active, maybe he could have his spot? I heard rumours about killger being back as well, but he's not ea + risk @activity

SPW · June 10, 2014, 03:02 PM

Its always a risk, so we decided that way and we keep it. Nothing against replacement but this isnt sure as well. Free was just too late and killger isnt an option as you already said (activity???).

Ray · June 11, 2014, 09:56 AM

Oh, I didn't realize barman was originally in the schedule, but he's not anymore. What happened there?

Of course this explains the two free rounds.

Yeee let me in! I'll do anything!

it is actually BIGtalk

Why do you guys think it is that some people are better at predicting games and some are less good? Do you think this has to do with some kind of a sense, imagination or what?

So far in the prediction games I did pretty well, 1.5 points per games in 2012 (1,44 for the winner Dulek) and 1,30 points per game in 2013 (again 1,44 for the winner Dulek) and the only reason I didn't have a realistic shot at the end was that I missed out on placing the bets.

Why do you think it is that these statistics can be so consistent - especially in Dulek's case, I mean that ratio is just plain amazing. I usually score better without using any strategy at all and just predict what I feel, but analyzing data can lead to good scores as well.

While making my predictions I just noticed that I didn't play against half of participants. The fact that I missed the predicitons for Matchday 1.&2. explain my disastrous rate :-)

Other topic: I really miss a shoutbox on EAC-Site! It would be so easy to install one.

there wasn't the need to have one so far. But sure, I could do something about it, if it's needed

It might come in handy if TUS site/forums go down again.

SPW · June 19, 2014, 11:42 PM

Thats a good argument.

Ray · July 17, 2014, 06:47 PM

Hey guys, how do you enjoy the championship so far? How does everyone feel they are doing?

I for one already overdid my own expectation regarding my performance.

Considering I did absolutely nothing worms-wise in the past year...
