@alexgreat:

No seeding, I just read? Jennifer, its totally random? Have to say I would try to avoid having eg Gamerman against AWN in quarters. If not 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7 etc. I would at least group the first and second four for the quarters, and then random.

I am sure decisions have been made already, so under no illusions. The best player will end on top one way or the other, but its more suspense if the best meet later.

I think no seeding is ok. We are in the situation that 2 players are outstanding and maybe only hobo is close to them but the ranking system itself to determine the positions is also not perfect.
So in my opinion raffling is a bit more fun, does not allow tactical games before the play-offs start in terms of shifting positions (maybe no. 7 does not want gamerman and AWN instead^^), it creates a bit more variance but keeps the chance high enough that the best should win :)

I am definitly fine with it, no worries. The best one will remain in the end, I just like seeding, personally.

[gamerman01]

We are waiting on Jennifer, and on word from Zhukov.
Like I said, secondary playoffs will have a couple days delay from Nov. 2, making sure we are firm on who is participating in primary playoff.

Figured I might as well use an Allies avatar.

I’m not even having a guilty conscience spamming this thread, since it’s kinda obsolete now anyway :D

Have not heard from zhukov in ages… this could be a wait.

Tell ya what… if zhukov comes back… he can just play me… I will play an extra round… unless I am knocked out already lol

[arathorn]

In my opinion Zhukov has relinquished his place in the playoff by not responding to anything for about 6 months. He hasn’t logged in, in quite a while also, so I think he’s out for now.

I don’t understand why this is taking so long for Jennifer to get together - it should be simple. Random draw and let the players start bidding.

Playoff standings should have been finished late 1st/early 2nd according to her own words.

@Gamerman01:

Thank you, all who have confirmed.

I am still waiting to hear from the following players.  Please respond, whether you want to play in the playoffs or whether you want to decline the opportunity:

Zhukov44
rgp44
Seththenewb
Omega1759
Amon Sul
Odonis
Axisplaya
Whackamatt
Vold
Infrastructure
Cow

We will be trying to create playoff brackets and we need to know who is participating for sure.
You need to respond soon -

Thanks,
Gamerman01

I am in :)

[gamerman01]

That’s right, we are not waiting on Zhukov, we are waiting on Jenn.  If Zhukov doesn’t pop up before Jenn does the draw, he’s out.
