Curryman's Meta-Amalgam Tourney!

Like I just explained through PMs now, all of the stuff that has been allowed has been allowed for a reason. The stuff that might seemingly be inconsistent with the rules, has already been thoroughly discussed and explained in PM.

With Leo's match, like with Digi's amalgam earlier, people casting doubt on something that I had allowed basically starts this process;

1. It partially lessens people trust in my competence as a Tourney Host.

2. It temporarily makes me doubt my own decision.

3. It forces me to dig through 40 pages of PMs to find the messages where said decision was discussed, and the participants explanations (All of which have been satisfactory).

4. It diverts attention away from the actual Amalgam vs Amalgam debate, the very focus/purpose of this tournament.

5. It seeds dissatisfaction between the participants in the sense that the one who voiced a concern/complaint does not get his way, and the other participants feelings towards the actual business of complaining.

6. It creates a mess for the judges.

Please trust in the decisions that I have made and know these two things;

- Every participant has already explained everything to me very thoroughly.

- I have made no decision without carefully considering them first.

The granpa comment was aimed at Digi, but Leo took it to the the heart.

😆

Well, he did call me a child!!!!

So does everyone have a "I teleport to some mystical location and become a GOD!" tactic now?

I didn't become a god. I just gathered information.

uhuh

lol

Digi, hurry up with that last post 😄

Only a couple of hours left.

Relax. Though next time, please announce the ending time when the match is opened. I'm not a fan of it being unannounced until just hours beforehand, and hoping that I check KMC at the right time. Thanks.

Yes, I think I've always been fairly clear that the matches started wednesday and ended sunday, but I understand there's been some confusion due to all the irregularities that pop up when people drop out.

I'll start posting it before the prep-post like I did with Leo and Psycho G's match 🙂

Yeah, schedules are hard to keep, and I actually didn't know we had anything standardized. I follow discussion as much as anyone, so I'm guessing there are others that don't know match time limits either.

Cool though.

Yeah, for me the time-limits are mostly about keeping up momentum.

I really wouldn't mind if you or Abhi happened to spill a day or two over with your debates, especially when we're all going to have to wait for the next rounds to finish.

Think I'll PM the current participants and let them know when their matches end.

Well, my post is in. I certainly wasn't going to wait around to see if I got an extension. Judges can do their thing whenever. I could use a few days off at this point anyway.

Glad to get a match in the books though.

When do you need my judgment by, Curry?

And how much text are you looking for? In depth analysis or just a few lines explaining who I think did the better job?

not sure what curry is looking for, but competitors always like the more detailed analysis. that way we get a feel for what seemed to work and what didn't. sometimes judgments are very short with little explanation but usually competitors like to hear justifications for decisions. least imo.

Hey, so here's another thing...

Abhi decided to jump to the Phantom Zone indefinitely in his last post. I countered it in-match, so that's not a big deal. But the precedent set IS a big deal.

Dimensional teleportation is fine, I know that much. What about self-BFR (even if it's temporary)? Where's the line? Basically, I can be using this too moving forward (not Phantom Zone but other dimensional stuff), but I need to know what is and isn't acceptable.

Thanks.

You forgot that time wouldn't pass while I would be in phantom zone, so its not a self-BFR.

i was pretty sure curry ruled in mine and psychos thread That dimentional Transport would only take us to the other side of the battlefield That was helpful I played the transport
