Mod. Notice Competitions: READ BEFORE POSTING A COMPETITION

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

FWIW I've tried overarching rankings systems on other boards and it just doesn't work. It's a hell of a lot of work for not much gain.

Poster 1: Oi campaigner who made the rankings, I'm heaps better than Poster 2, he's a s**t campaigner.
Poster 2: Nah Poster 1 you *head you're a s**t campaigner.
I don't see much point for a rankings system to be honest.

 

[SilvaComet]

Oi campaigner who's making the rankings, I'm heaps better than everybody, they're all s**t campaigners.

There won't be any fights if we use a fair enough system and everyone is sensible about where they are placed.


As long as we keep Grandsun away.

I wouldn't count on it.

Que?

So if rankings are too much work, are seeding polls effective? The idea presented seemed a little convoluted but the idea of seeding has merit for a knockout comp.

 

[Craegus]

Rankings and seedlings are a very slippery slope, especially on a forum. Too much to lose, not much to gain.

My c**k is bigger than all of yours so I win 1 internet per day for the rest of time. That's basically what a rankings system is.

 

[Barrybran]

So to help this idea along, would you normally just do this style of competition like the soccer world cup - draw teams into pools, small group stage then pre-determined knockout phase?

 

[Red Crow]

Yeah I'm really not keen on implementing any ranking system, even if it is for use in just the one comp. Will just lead to people getting annoyed at their given rankings and has the possibility of people trying to "pull rank" which is something we really don't want or need.

If we're doing a knockout comp, I think having no seedings would be better anyway. Some of the heavyweights might knock each other out early leaving it open for some "magic of the cup" runs for those who would otherwise be lower ranked. Gives everyone plenty of hope.

Weekly comp idea: Mergers.

I'm of the opinion that things like merger of the week can be redone every few years.

How long ago was the last?

Not in my time I think so it should be right

I don't remember doing that. There was MergerMania but that was a portfolio. Besides if it was done ages ago it gives the new guys a chance to do the old comps - I know I missed some really good comps.

We're coming close to the end of teams for Clash of the Jumpers so it'll be good to have something low key to do when that's finished.

Around the early 12-13 mark when I was lurking they were on.

There was the CCCC a while ago. Cross Code Comp which I was thinking of restarting soon (hopefully).

I put a post out not too long ago, only got around 5 likes so I just forgot about it.

Hey guys, new concept that I hope Gibbsy or crow28 will be on board with.

Sort of inspired by my old design forum (pixel art) which had a large wrestling fan base, I was thinking of perhaps running a bi-annual "super card". So basically you'd have a series of matches on each card where the designers follow a stipulation and design based upon it. You could even incorporate the FJGD Heavyweight Championship into it, as well as perhaps another title for developing designers as well and introduce collaboration matches.

For instance:

El Scorch vs. Bacon Warrior for the FJGD Championship
Stip: Re-brand a fictional sports team

Freight Train Vs. lmach
Stip: Create a new AFL expansion club

Collaboration
Dylan8 & Gibbsy Vs. craegus and akkaps
Stip: Each designer must do one each of a home and away jersey set for the Australian Boomers



There could be any number of matches based on interest, could set up matches between equal tier designers. Could also have contender matches so whoever wins a match faces the champion on the next card.

Certainly has potential, I like the one on one match ups idea, but I would be hesitant on the collaboration part, not because of how people would work together, but rather with peoples schedules/availability, it may make it a bit too hard to find times to discuss the designs, share critiques, unify designs, etc.

It would come down to who wants to do a collab. No one would be forced.

How would the people being matched up be decided?
