Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Roy Even though he's the straight man, Belkar plays well off of him and that gives him points based on association. Malack's okay, but I prefer Roy overall.
And Nale Because Pete is terrible. I'm not a fan of Nale so much, but I like him better than Pete.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
So it looks like 32-31 in Roy's favour at the moment?

I think so. Wow, this is the first round of the tournament I actually feel personally invested in! Certainly something to tide us all over until the next strip.

I agree with this. I actually did assume that the Loser's Cup would work like most double elimination tournaments seem to do, ie everyone gets a second chance. Seems it's only for the ones who lost in the first round. Although I would have preferred a more traditional Loser's Bracket, this is better than nothing, and I would have liked the tournament even if there were no Loser's Bracket.
Perhaps we should have this every year? New characters are introduced and old characters might develop, so why not? Would be fun, at least.

Yea, oppyu's reply made me crack up.

I just assumed this was going to be the case, based on the first post ("probably forever.") But if it wasn't, it should be, no reason to let this end after only one tournament:smallsmile:

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Roy - Boy was this tough, but I like Roy's personality just a little more than Malack's affability and vampirism.
Nale - He's better than Pete

Also, your claims are factually inaccurate: Even under the assumption that a single match determines which of two contestants are better (i.e., there is no random error in a match), a double elimination tournament, no matter how it is structured, could only ever determine the top two places. Yes, that is more than the top 1 which a single-elimination tournament can determine, but neither gives a good indication of who is the 4th or 10th best, so I don't know why you are bringing those up.
A losers bracket does indeed give a better indication of relative placement of participants. It does not give a perfect picture, but i did not claim that. The more matches had between the contestants, the better the placement will match the actuality, since the importance of the seeds will fall.
I cannot see how this is not obvious, especially considering the malack/enor example i gave in the post you chose to discredit.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
I also thougth the LC meant the loser's bracket of a double elimination tournament, and I was happy since Nale is in my personal Top-5 (don't judge me!) and I wasn't around when he was out. Likely some other R1 results would have my vote :smalltongue: as well as the many people that got here after some results were decided. Who knows what would happen if X close match is up to voting again? :smallamused:
But it depends on oppyu, I bet this takes too much time, so whatever he does it's okay with me as long as it remains fun, as it is right now :smallsmile:

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
How long does oppyu make each round last? A few days? A week?

They last until a new strip comes out.

Good choice. I believe that puts Roy one vote ahead as it stands.

Come on Malack! I want to know what happens in the event of a draw. XD

Let's say the results were
A: 33
B: 33
C: 50
D: 5
In this case, both characters would go through, so the next round would be A vs B vs C.

Seriously, anybody else want to vote for Malack? ^^

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Wow, people are really turning out to vote on this match up. I can only hope the next round of... Wizard Guy vs. Sabine attracts the same enthusiasm :smallsigh:
-
Re: Favourite Character Tournament
We don't really want it to end in a tie, because that just means the third guy will play Nader in the next round unless some crazy strong contender is next. Better to decide it now, IMO.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Roy - This is a hard one, but I'll pick Roy because he is the main protagonist.
Nale

It'd make the next round more fun. We get the same result if only one of them goes through. :smallamused:

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Malack - much more enjoyable.
And... sure, Old Blind Pete. Lately, whenever Nale is around I wish him thousand deaths, each one more creative then the last. For some reason, I don't feel then kind of sentiment towards Pete :smalltongue:
-
Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Roy- close, but we've known Roy much longer, and the whole vampire thing didn't impress me, Malack.
Nale- sorry Pete, but you aren't very interesting, even if I want Nale to die.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Roy is up by 2. . . I wonder when Rich is gonna come up with a new one.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
I thought he was only up by one? :smallconfused:
Wait, missed a post, never mind. Shouldn't try counting at four in the morning. :smallredface:
