Thanks


Seems they corrected that Shane.

Stay on top of that morley, we can't have the yanks stealing our talent =D>


And it seems they have caught that too! (Thanks for the compliment ;) )

You can only join 1 opening Ceremonies. That same tournament will keep opening up and filling, so everyone has a chance to join.


I discovered this thing yesterday, less than 24 hours into it and I did not get a chance to join the Opening Ceremonies Tourney. Furthermore, there was some confusion as to the way this operated, due to some confusion in the original wording. My concern is that we had to be pretty on the ball to read about this and get in that first tourney so quickly. Will there be more, or is it done?

If it is done, does that mean that the majority of us who didn't make it are done for the blue star portion of this thing (because I noticed ribbons were associated with that tourney)? IF that is the case, may i suggest that you make an exception to these rules to provide for a bit of "wake-up" time and to compensate for any confusion. You could add that particular ribbon to another major tourney occurring later, so we're not out of this before it even begins (again, i am just referring to the portion of the contest involving the collection of all ten ribbons.). If you accommodated this request, the players who already got the ribbon wouldn't lose anything. It would just give the rest of us a chance to acquire it.

Also, for the record, I have been trying to join the Wheelchair Slalom all day and i suspect there is a glitch. It's been full and not moving all day.

Thanks doom, your good work is always appreciated sir.....by most of us at least :-)

the number changed, it's now 75 and I'm 2nd placed, no longer first... I'm still trying to figure our how the scoreboard works and what's that number..

Also, I like this Olympics feature... how often will it be played/arranged?

Apparently the country score is weighted according to the number of CC users registered in your country. Since there are very few in Jordan, you get extra points for your country every time you score.

My first and continuing impression of this tourney is that it's a fantastic improvement over previous challanges.

It's fun, it doesnt require an ungodly amount of time, and it showcases CC.

Congrats!

I think its great except for the speed tourneys. Other night waited for an hour and a half and only 4 people out 16 signed up, so I dropped. Today have been waiting for 30 minutes and still the only 1 signed up. The winner will almost certainly be someone who can wait for these tourneys to start. That's a shame.

Could you maybe create another Oxen Jousting that is not speed. Not really fair here. Waited more than an hour again.

Ok, we might switch away from speed tournaments as this event goes on. I will know concretely by this weekend. Sorry it's not turning out as I anticipated, I was really optimistic that a lot of people would get excited over this event. It has been a great turnout so far, but it will need some tweaking.

I like this Olympics thing so much but I believe it should be developed.. I think there should be more tourney and more chances to win more medals.. so maybe increase them?

Also, it doesn't make sense to compete for a silver medal in the speed tourney... they should award gold, silver and bronze... not sure if you can make a 3rd place game for the semi-finalist who lose in semi-finals to determine the 3rd place if you dun wanna award 2 bronze medals for both of em.. not a big deal though... it's just ridiculous to have the silver for #1 instead of gold!

Yes, maybe it should be Gold and Silver only....8 player event means that if you win one game, you'd get a bronze automatically, even if it was a double deadbeat and you went first....having two medals means you have to win 2 games to get one. (It would also mean I'd have a silver and bronze changed to gold and silver!)

In an "Olympics" sense it is weird. In a games and players per points sense, it works out better.

Sounds like speed autotournaments need to be adjusted so that games start one at a time.

This is fucking retarded. What happened to common sense? These games should be deleted, points resorted and games remade.

Even better, I get eliminated from the first round and two deadbeats advance to the second round!

Must say, job very well fucking done here guys.

Overall im pleased with this Olympics event.However,This little oversight needs to be addressed.players who deadbeat should just be dropped from the tourney,plain and simple. Otherwise keep up the good work!
