Texas PR - Social Thread

[sheikamaru]

i have my reasons.

 

[BioDG]

would a reset work?

could it motivate some players to try harder a second time around, especially if they have a low placing atm? other than that, one positive thing i can see about it is cleaning up the list and getting rid of all the random names as well as the retired players.

A partial reset is better than a complete one. Most of the "issues" are based on two years ago or something like that and have lingered ever since, like the "true" retirees sitting around the highest tiers in spite of not touching the game since then. A full reset would needlessly take a crap on those who made great recent performances.

It's not to say either is a solution (I don't know, personally), but that a full reset is definitely not a good one, IMO.

 

[UTDZac]

Why is Zac still "(retired)?"

Maybe cause I only enter doubles and not singles?

 

[Espy Rose]

Oh, that makes plenty of sense.

 

[RT]

If the PR is based on singles results only, then...

DERP.

 

[Denti]

kilik needs to not be in F tier lol

 

[Infinitysmash]

I need to not be at 1820. I've been at that same spot for like a year now, lol.

 

[AeroLink_the_SoulMaster]

I'm on my way to A tier! Choo choo!

 

[Dakpo]

Dakpo - 1893.97
Shlike - 1864.13

[F-Tier Player]

Keep those updates coming, although I haven't seen much activity from Sync lately.

 

[Sync.]

I have been updating with tournaments but I need Rev11 and Mizumi from Kyle. I only have BN8 for this next update :/

 

[Espy Rose]

I've already talked to Kyle about it before.
I haven't gotten any bracket or whatnot for Mizumi.

 

[Dojo]

Still never got that last BM either.

 

[Denti]

As far as I know I've sent in all battle networks. Let me know specifically if you need a certain one in case I forgot. Also I'll send you Rev 11 now.


So S tier is like the F tier black hole. While F tier players are stuck in F tier till they're like at least C tier material, I just keep getting points in S tier. Wtf is this??? lololol


edit: Sync, what Xyro did was contact people directly, via PM or text or FB. Try that if people aren't sending in the tournament files quick enough. It worked for me, I just forget to send that stuff in.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I noticed it from the last update.. but is it possible to actually lose a point or so even when you beat someone in F/E-tier?

 

[Denti]

I don't understand what you said. Re word your question

 

[Sinister Slush]

Wasn't directed at you... but whatever.
I'm in C-tier, I lost 2 points since the last update. Possibility I lost points cause of beating someone 2/3 tiers lower then me, or I think I didn't attend anything since Woodlawn (mizumi not in yet) that I lost 2 points.

Not sure, kinda why I'm asking the people who update it Denti. Not being rude towards you though.

 

[Denti]

I thought you were talking to me lol. Anyways, you can't lose points if you beat someone.


edit: also I really think that BN7 was added. Dojo went up like 30 points. I guess it just wasn't added to the list of tournaments added.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I have no idea where 2 points came from, I lost .40 which I'm not sure why I even began asking about points...

sounds like the nature of seeding to me. best vs worst. once you climb out of F tier, you have a better shot at facing someone you might beat.

Might just be Sync correcting names and whatnot. If a fix adjusted the points of someone you beat or lost too, it would affect the amout of points you lost or gained.

This.

No worries.

 

[Dojo]

I don't think it was. I went up those points from Revolution before I even attended BM7.

 

[Denti]

Oh yeah! You're right. Forgot you attended that. Well I'll just send him BM7 when I get home just in case.

 

[Dojo]

Believe it when I see it. ;P

 

[Sync.]

Thanks for being on your stuff guys. About the partial shift of points of people not attending tournaments: it's exactly what Tesh said, Zac confirmed that is just me fixing the double names and causing small ripple effects on other players.

So to my understanding is I'm receiving BM7 and Rev11 today correct?

 

[AeroLink_the_SoulMaster]

Denti should have sent the files to you already.

 

[Espy Rose]

Sync, you probably won't get Mizumi unless you bug Kyle.

 

[Reizilla]

Sync, can you PM me your email address?

 

[Sync.]

It's in the OP foo. Please I need Tio files

 

[Sinister Slush]

At this rate, Sync. You'll only get Tio files if you ask the TO's for it through E-mail or something.
I mean... we're still kinda waiting for Kyle to give ya the Mizumi Con file, unless he's done that already.

 

[UTDZac]

Just a heads up, I'm on vacation (Spain yay!) from may 9 through may 15.

 

[k9.]

Also noticed San Japan 3 (2010) wasn't added, was that tio never recovered from

[Tesh]
