These matches have had . . .interesting, openings.

I just to remind all participants, that if you need scans, then go to the "respect thread" forum for scans.

Can we make an official rule, or at least an unofficial agreement, to make prep stuff only in the writeup? Given the lack of formal planning, it's obvious Stark didn't intend to cheat, but it shouldn't excuse that he waited 10 hours, and multiple posts, to post his prep stuff.

I realize I'm having to b*tch because I'm the only one who paid for spying, and thus can actually respond to someone's prep with more of my own, but that's what I spent 5 points for. And I was planning on leaving 4-5 minutes of my own prep to account for that need, as well as only have 1 post of "counter-prep" if needed once the match starts...not random new prep nuances throughout the match. I paid for that advantage, but I also don't want to be cheap.

Because if we start having people hold back writeups or making up prep plans during the match, it invalidates all kinds of things for people who will be playing by the rules.

Yes the extreme amount of newbage in that thread amuses me greatly

Well, if you do something beyond the norm in prep, it should be hard to counter without spying on the opponent, because everyone has to act in character.

In character, Doom (or Strange, or anyone) isn't going to prep for something they don't know about.

sure I'm a "noob" in tournaments but the amusement bit needs explaining.

1. Your first write up as way too long.
2. Your intial write up read more like a story than an actual plan. No offense but no one cares how you got the gems so that part of the write up was kinda pointless. Not to mention you didn't buy any prep either so..... 😕

But you're doing okay for a newb 🙂

No worries.

Just make sure your prep part is the emphasis of your write-up, and is clear and concise as possible.

well, it's hard for me to curb my thoughts sometimes, things need to be explained to some degree.

K, I need to voice another potential concern:

This 3PM-ish starting time. We can't vote before 3AM, and we HAVE to vote by about 3PM the next day. Some of us work until 4-5, and aren't willing to stay up until 3AM, and don't have time in the morning to boot up the cpu and vote at circa 6AM (when I usually get up for work).

Weekends, and occasional weekdays, I couldn't care less. But this will become an issue for me and others during the week.

That's pretty much the exact problem I have.

Actually I just realized I won't be able to post my write up at the start of tomorrows match. It'll be an hour before I can get to a computer.

Any chance I can PM it to someone?

The rest of the match should be OK for me though.

actualy that works out great for me I have an appointment at 4 pm eastern time (3 central)
and I should be home a little before 5 eastern so I wouldn't have a problem with starting the match an hour or so later

you have twelve whole hours so as long as you both agree to stall till 5,
it would be fair for both of you.
