Skorpion XBA Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Actually I'll be the one taking on the powers of random.org. Doug is my protector too. *Looks at Last Man Standing Award* Hmm. Looks like everyone is against me. I wonder if I could bribe Creech into banning a few people? I didn't think so either. @Puck. Just remember that bronze comes AFTER silver. Let's keep that trend going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jappe XBA Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Poor souls talking about Fallout 3 (PC) and Avatar. Pffft. Have you guys ever taken part in GSL? The first time I took part there I played about all of the games listed in the easy 1k thread with under 5 hours completion time (not the US exclusives though) and my team ended up like 7th place or something. Sure you can get 3000GS from Avatar, NBA 2k6 and Fallout 3 (PC) in 2 hours altogether. It's just that what you'd really need to do is get 1000GS a day for the freaking 2 months Okay that's enough of offtopic for me today. Good luck to everyone who takes part in the tourney! Remember that it's not only easy GS games that bring the 1st spot. You need to have a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozza Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 That's the problem, I don't have a plan. I will literally be a walk over. Gotta save my real game for the GSL and not these chumps Saying that, I'll do crap in the GSL to, but don't want to waste all my games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tournament will do me just fine. Anyway, haven't a lot of the hardcore GSL guys disappeared? Or at least they won't have many games left to play.

Capn Doug Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Actually I'll be the one taking on the powers of random.org. It's true. I'll be verifying scores, checking for cheaters and such. And besides, your secret weapon should be the ability to win by 5g. Winning by 1000g is a waste. Stalk you opponent on Xbox.com... see them gain, strike with Fallout 3 at the last moment to steal the lead... Oops, said too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people couldn't figure out that strategy, then I weep for them. I still know that someone is going to win by 2000g+ in the first match, though.

This tournament will do me just fine. Anyway, haven't a lot of the hardcore GSL guys disappeared? Or at least they won't have many games left to play. There are always more GSL games to play. As evidenced by the fact that smrnov won MVP last year. And as evidenced by the fact that I still have another 40k+ year ahead of me without resorting to using a Japanese console. A few of the heavy hitters have retired, mostly since you can only compete so many times before you burn out. I have actually retired before, but the x360a vs PS3T competition as well as the fact that I have over 100 games that I haven't even touched yet make me want to give it one last go. And the linked individual left because of the way Minty handled the site, not GSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, myself, have thought numerous times that there aren't any more easy games to get. Later on I prove myself wrong. The fact that smrnov won MVP was quite impressive considering how many games he's already played and his GS. He had a mad strategy that he stuck to. I don't think I've seen Minty on the site since I've been here. Is he still an Admin even though he's been MIA for so long? I'm just curious.

Skorpion XBA Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Minty is currently considered "On Hiatus". I kinda figured that... I have a question about the tourney. What happens if we get to an uneven number of people? I know the reserves are there, but I'm sure it's bound to be an uneven number after several people get eliminated.

Eventually after so many are eliminated there will be an uneven number of players. Unless you're saying that we get a staff member to fill in to even it out. Maybe I'm misunderstanding completely lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding completely lol. I've worked out all the scenarios. Unless I missed something, there will never be an odd number if we have all 16 spots filled. We already have 13. If the 2 reserves are forced to play because no one else signs up (unlikely) then we are at 15. We can find one more for 16. Even if we can't (again unlikely) random.org will determine who gets a "bye week(4days)" so to speak. TL;DNR- Don't worry, we got this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't see how you could predict eliminations when everyone has 3 lives. Random.org hates me so I won't get that lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
