Essentially you both forfeit a single post by letting it time out.
Um... Wakka didn't post for phase three... he left it open for me to start phase three
Re: Colosseum Tournament - Schwi Dola - 10-23-2015
I'm an idiot.
Wakka posted more than 4 days after Ruby's post. 48 hours a deadline, both missed a post.

Just for clarity/explanation purposes so as to alleviate any possible confusion:
Proto Man Wrote:Word Limit: 750

SP use in enabled. SP does not regenerate between rounds. Injuries may occur. Neither injuries or SP use are factored into judgment, only the quality of writing.
Note: There are no extensions for people who cannot make the posting deadline. If you miss a post, that will be factored into your score.
From the very first post in this thread. The Note is of particular import.
(Times used in this example are in my own timezone, as that's what I have staring me in the face; time limits are the same anyway)
Ruby vs. Wakka: Match start time: Oct 12, 7 PM

So as it stands, they both missed a deadline and missed out on one post each.

Hopefully Magus won't back me into a wall like Dawnika did. I'll get you a reply post later tonight probably, had a Cal test yesterday and haven't been able to get on. You mind a small thread after that inbetween rounds?
Re: Colosseum Tournament - Proto Man - 10-24-2015
Judges are aiming to have all remaining fights judged before the end of the weekend, so we can move ahead shortly there-after.
If your fight has already been judged, you ought to use some downtime today or tomorrow to post a resolution (if you want to), handle any transactions you would like to do, and write anything in the Spectator thread that you feel the need to do. For those of you in a fight winding down, I would likewise handle any purchases or approvals over the next two days.
Re: Colosseum Tournament - Monkey D. Luffy - 10-24-2015
Nice match Alain, I'll hopefully have a post of finality up tonight or tomorrow. Looking forward to Round 2!
Re: Colosseum Tournament - Proto Man - 10-24-2015
For those of you who know your match up for Round 2: If you got the higher score, post here stating whether or not you want first post. Please do so before threads go up or I'll flip a coin.
Re: Colosseum Tournament - Schwi Dola - 10-24-2015
Were each judged by the same judge? We had all that talk about how one judge would never give 5s and another might give 3s or 4s for an okay job. Given that each judge scores differently (given otherwise identical opinions) should score be a factor in anything but the individual fight?

You can try to individually work it out if you want to. It's not grandmaster level chess, and making the first move does not ensure a win.

I'm a judge and I'm behind the same philosophy stated above, introductions can be both good AND bad. Personally, I think that there are certain advantages to both starting strong and ending with a huge freakin' explosion.
Each gives an equal edge, so the strong drawback is less.
Re: Colosseum Tournament - Monkey D. Luffy - 10-24-2015
I started the match last round, so I volunteer to go second this time around.

Re: Colosseum Tournament - Guu - 10-25-2015
After I do one final post in Welcome to Ambrosia, I think I'll have Guu head over to the tournament, spectator of course to check up on several Ambrosian's there.
Though, how tight is the security? Think I can get into the lobby to kick Yu's butt?

Whyyyyyy, he is in enough pain as it is xD Don't kick a man when he is down.

Guu Wrote:After I do one final post in Welcome to Ambrosia, I think I'll have Guu head over to the tournament, spectator of course to check up on several Ambrosian's there.There are some pretty high-profile nobles there, so security probably isn't lax, but they also probably won't mind if there's a little bit of roughhousing with the rabble. If it turns into an actual brawl they'd probably step in.

Don't take it so hard, Yu! Just keep practicing!

Have we had complaints?
No.. And the judges are kicking ass!
I think this was just a blanket statement for the community as a whole, as to, avoid any future headaches that may arise from human difference.
Example: Judge A really loves writing that uses inner monologue, where as Judge B couldn't care much for it..
Both Judges may score on grammar alike, however, what interests them varies, so scores on Voice may differ between Judge B and A.
Basically, in this example, if you get a 4 in voice with Judge A, but a 3 with Judge B, it's not an injustice, it's just human difference.
Also, realize that littler differences like this are so minute, it mostly goes unnoticed. We wouldn't be selecting people for judges who we didn't feel would represent an adequate representation for the kind of writing we strive for, here on the Omniverse.

Re: Colosseum Tournament - Yu Kanda - 10-26-2015
I am fully aware every judge uses different scoring. And i honestly don't mind losing...i mean sasuke deserved that win big time ^^
If i spend an average of 6 hours per post during that fight only to reach a far below average grade ( and i dont see it myself), its a clear sign for me to move on and spend time on things i am good at
Don't worry about it...these things happen :p
