How many judges do you want?

In a 1 Vs 1 match 5 is cool because you will definitely have a majority winner

the danger here is a 2/2/1 vote

More judges may be better, but still hard to avoid a tie.

That said, I'll join the pool of judges if you need more.

Thanks, we need.

anyone still fighting in this thing?!

I was pretty busy this week but I will some time soon seeing as it's a long weekend

^same as Gundam, long weekend is ****ing me up. Also, considering we don't have time-frame or the judges sorted, it's all a bit haphazard ATM. I'll have another post in the next two days though.

so near as i can tell mutant has 5 posts and mm and pg each have 3. unless you're counting 2-part posts as single posts which....means you're not having a 5 post limit and more like a 10 post limit which means a lot more reading for judges who thought it was 5 posts. 😐

Yeah, 5 is 5... Not accepting 2a, post 3 part 2/b and such.

After each person's fifth post we should ignore anything else they post.

It's you three guys' tourney. You set the rules/limits. If you all agree to something I'll go along with it, but a judge has to work within the confines of those rules and right now it's five posts.

Like I said, if you three agree to change that, that's fine.

One tourney I competed in, my last one or two posts were deleted by a mod, at the request of a judge because I was half a day over the time limit (didn't use post limits back then)

Supermutant your request is denied.

Now sit back, and allow PG & MM tear your argument down.

well, if my own final gets going, don't know that i'll be able to judge this anyway. both are going longer than anticipated. see if you can round up someone in my place. scoob and smurph can continue to judge if they want--divided attention is better for me... 😖hifty:

Just swamped with work stuff. Sorry

Um, splitting a post into 2 is just cause I hit the character limit and I cut a post in 2 and posted it right after. It's not cheating to get more than 5 posts. I didn't have much time to make the links integrated into the wording so... meh

to be clear, i'm not excusing anyone at all of cheating. that's not what i was saying AT ALL. the reason i adopted the 5 post limit in all my bz's is because it becomes part of the strategy--you need to incorporate everything you need into a single post. it also prevents the whole quote and reply that was always a part of bz's when i first started doing them a while back. if you hit the limit...then you go back and delete. can't tell you how many times i've been forced to cut things--and on at least a few occasions i've lost a post because i posted and it was over. scoob understands the frustration THAT can cause....

i also like it because it usually limits a match to a single page and isn't as overwhelming for judges.

that said, it's your all match, so use whatever rules, however freely, you want. i also acknowledge that in a 3-way, a single post IS tougher since you're replying to 2 parties, and you came up with your rules when you thought they were 1on1 matches. it's just that if everyone starts making 1 post=2, it's a lot more reading and IF my match ever gets underway, i'll likely be busy with that anyway. i was hoping you guys would be further ahead and i could get both done, but i'll bow out of judging for the moment. if you're desperate, i'll still do it, but it will be tougher if i'm competing at the same time is all.

Part A

Just since it's being discussed: Supermutant made a 2-parter post that was like 3 hours apart.... that's 2 separate posts imo

Part B

This is 1 post BTW

😈

Well that's b/c the first part was made about a week prior and saved as a draft, while waiting for you guys to respond. And it would have been a messed to edit that, you can clearly tell that as 3A doesn't respond to any recent post by 3B does. Anyway like I said there's only final post I would like to write.

6 post limit for each debater?

It feels like the 5 post limit should have changed when the format changed. 6 is close enough to the original, and hopefully means that this match will still wrap up soon and smoothly.

It's part of the rules that there are 5 posts, he simply used all of his

Right, your guys' show, I'll stay out of it.

😂

Really, that seems pretty crappy especially since I've been very patient with you guys week long absences. A 6th post is fair and reasonable. Starting to sound like you are afraid, this is a fun debate not some iron clad multi-million dollar contract.

Now you're taking shots at me as if I was afraid? If you're so confident why are you campaigning for an extra post?
