not to be anti-warp or anything (i want him to be ranked), he was beating people earlier in this period
then he had a bunch of bad losses at scsa 4 (regional) + sin (regional)
its harder to get 11-15 correct cause the spotlight isn't on them (so their bad losses are sometimes ignored) and the pool of players is bigger. i think it shouldbe 1-10 because it is easy to see, or 1-12 if a player deserves to be ranked.
specifically adding people just to fill out a clean number on the list is not logical, since (as seen in the past), its harder to decide those last spots in the 11-15 than the 1-10
and a problem with this panel system is there's no way to overrule it if it isn't doing its job... i guess this discussion is a good start
-random's opinion
don't ever do anything where you have to reconstruct your knee... it sucks
No offense junk, but that's a terrible argument for not doing 11-15.
You're saying it's harder to get 11-15 correct because the spotlight isn't on them?
But It's our job to place the spotlight on everyone and consider everything involved.
You're saying it's easier to just pick a top 10 than a top 15? Well yeah, but I'm pretty sure having an easy job isn't the purpose of a panel. And I don't see what everyone's fascination is with picking a more "solid" list without actually defining how solid they want it.
In fact, the most solid list would consist of our #1. Like a list with just ONE player, maybe 2 players if we're feeling crazy. It'd be pretty **** easy to do too! So we got easy and solid! Why stop at a top 10? Let's make it smaller.
I see what you're all saying, and it'd be a pretty good idea to make it top 10 if there was a clear divide in the skill after #10. But there isn't. Warp is arguably in the 11-15 spot, with wins over people in the top 5. So even if he isn't good enough to be in the top 10, he's good enough to beat people in the top 10. Thus, the division in skill is not so clear cut, so you are all not warranted in your decision to decrease the size of the list based on skill.
Stop trying to decrease the size of the list because it's easier, smaller, looks better, or whatever other terrible reasons you're all coming up with.
If you want your list to become smaller, then tell your top 3 to stop losing to people that would be ranked below the top 10.
Now, as for the list itself, I either have Claire's wrong number, or her wrong screen name, but I can't seem to get a hold of her at all. So...we'll do this one without her. The problem is, I never wanted to be a leader of this, which is why I've insisted on getting a hold of her first.
I didn't want to gather everyone, select panelists, etc. But now I'm ok with it, because it's clear it needs to be done before genesis. I'll get my people...
Not that I'm the leader of this.
