homepage: adding playoff stuff
« on: January 16, 2011, 03:51 AM »
from Random00 in another thread:

Also, the PO winner doesn't get enough attention, imo. LW is doing good in this point imo: http://www.ligaworms.org/
But on tus, after the season you switch to previous standings and you see someone on top with 90%+ winning percentage and a huge load of points, so you obviously think that he pwns.

would this be going in the right direction?  add "Latest Playoff Games" and/or "Latest Playoff Winners" as options on the 'Customize your homepage' settings.

would that be possible MonkeyIsland? if it's too much work, then nvm.  or did you have any other specific ideas random?

I like this idea, a big display on the main page of the Playoff winners would be cool :)

Yea all right.
You can post some examples of how it would look better?
Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

Indeed that's a good idea to promote the POs, and the league in general !

Could be something like : "Current TUS champion" displayed all the season, with the name of the last PO winner and a beautiful picture of a cup or something :) And why not a TOP3 podium ?

DOGGY TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF!!! :D And yes, I know what you guys are talking about, I'm just saying don't forget about that, because there already is a complete sketch for a TOP3 podium, and you shouldn't work twice.

I can't really say anything for the homepage, I'm quite pessimist and I'm sure it wouldn't ever turn out the way I'd imagine. :-X

Yeah, it would be nice to get a few extra options there. Like a box displaying p/o's as said before, as well as some displaying standings (like top 8 in all leagues, as well as one's personal standing). That way I could quickly see how I'm doing in TEL, while unchecking all the leagues I don't play in :P

Another few features:
- outstanding cup games.
- overview of PM's received.

I will get back on TUS in a month. But I think I could code these boxes now. I'll gather all boxes, then I'll add all.
Post any option you want here.

You want block only for cup games?
and what is overview of PMs? See your last 5 PMs received?
Still I don't exactly how to show season winners. A box showing the winner of each season? or ruin the homepage with big fonts and images?

Well, any outstandings games I guess. Cups and playoffs, I can't really think of more ???

Yeah, or the last 3, with the first sentence of the content or something. This is just an addition though, it's not reall a MUST have  ::)

Just a name I guess, and maybe limit it to last 5 seasons or so.

What is outstanding game? How should the system fetch them? Or maybe a box showing games that have been nominated?

he doesn't mean outstanding games as in 'amazing' games.. I think he means games that need to be played for playoffs/cups. (definition:continuing in existence; remaining unsettled, unpaid, etc.: outstanding debts.)

but I don't think the homepage is the place for that.  maybe just Lastest Playoff Games played, and maybe Latest Playoff Winners.  if HHC wants outstanding games to be on homepage to encourage them to get played, I think there are better ways.. which I'll likely make another thread about.

box for nominated games doesn't sound so bad though!  your call

I think HHC actually meant outstanding games as in amazing games. Nominating those sounds logical to me. :)
I remember knowing who it was but dont remember exactly what I knew

Nein!

What Franz says, games you've got left to play.

Although it would be nice to see 'latest nominations' or something like that  :)
