Re: Sensible Days 2007

So let s play this tournament in good luck and great health

Now that s a very good wish.
The bad news from Bulgaria is that few days earlier Marin hurt the middle finger of his right arm in a ridiculous accident (he was trying to kill a fly in the room and he shut the window over his finger). Thankfully it turned out to be only a minor injury and Marin is recovering better than expected. Soon he will be able to play a whole SWOS game Doctors say Marin will be ready to play on full power at sensi days

And if to preserve fairness i have to use excel and a laptop, i think i would use them...

You don t need excel, you can use another swos game on laptop to get the groups and play the games on the amigas without random injury times.

And mt, it s obvious that you re right in the fairness question.

BTW didn t the ISSA guys play with superteams? With only 5 star players injuries of course make no difference.

- ISSA uses normal teams, the Amigaclub Denmark (Danish Open) uses Superteams.

It is not our target to copy ISSA (because of ss.de being ISSA-supporter???, hrhr...).
We want to create interesting events and finally found our rules after:
- discussing many things with good arguments
- participating ISSA s in fact very interesting tournament
- learning from our own tournaments
- simply using our brains etc.

To the question of fairness...:
A newbie, who has to play against an intact Playa-Squad or Redhair-Squad, will be bashed. No matter if his own team is fit or injured.
A newbie, who has to play against a damaged Playa-Squad or Redhair-Squad, has his biggest chance ever.

Thats my point of view.
Personally, I think my view is right, of course, and others may think, that it s wrong. But who cares?

@ANDY

Am i the one taking too seriously, Andy?

I m just replying to people saying something to me or commenting what i said.
This is a videogame forum and i am grown up enough to give to it the importance it deserves.
i ll answer to playaveli after replying to you not because i am taking it too seriously but...you know, when someone wants to make me look like the evil ogre that hates everything and everyone when it s not the case ...sure i reply. Wouldn t you do that too?

I say why rule is unfair imo and playaveli tells me i doubt other ss.de members love for swos, i am grouchy person and i am only ranting? That is so uncool.

My point is 1 line long , it s not too serious , it s just a point :
fairness is more important than bored ISSA s idea of fun...

if you Andy don t understand this point...hmmm, sorry.
If you go to Sensidays to make friends Andy, it s ok, i am spending money to go there and play swos and the last thing i would like is to play handicap games (unfortunately this is what is going to happen) just because someone is bored playing in a normal and fair way.
It s a competition after all, there s the cup , there are the medals and someone also called that the hardest tournament ever. Well, for the guy with more injured players...sure it will be, for some others...no.
I am not going there because i want to meet you or junior, with all the respect, if it was only for that there are better ways to spend 100 euro...i am going there to play swos instead.
I signed in for sensidays aware of the rules , that should say enough on how much i (don t) care about all this rule thing, but joining doesn t mean liking it. That means accepting it.



@Playaveli

First of all i have no problems with ISSA, i have a very little problem with you. You re the one that wants to change face to SS.DE to please ISSA and i don t like it.

Second of all, you probably got my SWOS LOVE thing completetely wrong. I was not questioning Redhair s Falcon s Dior s DaBomb s love for swos (unless they were the ones leaving to go shopping), but i was just saying that : those who left can t be swos lover so maybe it s their problem and not organizers mistake. I would never leave and i know how much i love swos and respect your work, so you don t need to change rules just because someone (i have no idea who) was bored...and i am sure a lot of people agree with me on this (at least...i hope ).
So, when junior said he got bored (or something like that) at sensidays, obviously my reaction is surprise and i start to ask myself (and him) if he really loves swos...it s a normal , understandable reaction, i think.
I respect the great part of the ss.de community for the reason they re amazing guys, sharing with me the love for this wonderful game , some are good friends of mine and we talk about personal things too!
I love this community and i get along with the great part of the ss.de members and i would never question their love for swos!

I have the courage to tell people things on the face , be sure of that, but i consider extremily unappropriated going to Sensidays ruining the party with discussions that are only forum material (unless someone provokes me on that) and actually i couldn t care less (yes, i have a life too) . Yes, forum is the place to talk about these things , not sensidays. Sensidays is for playing swos , it s not a convention (well in my opinion).


And for the rest:

well, there s a cup, there aremedals, everybody taking the best teams using their killer custom tactics, i don t see any friendly league, that is matter of fact a competition...
...and unfortunately injuries will play an important role on who s going to qualify and who not.

Once again one thing is to accept to lose suker at min 1 or 2 or 10 followed by maybe redondo...for just the current game, another one is to risk him for 17 games of a 18 games league. Losing a player during the game is something we ( in ss.de) accept, we know it s part of the game and it s fair enough, the superteams sound quite new to me, i hear that for the first time...Superteams? I don t know. I have to think about it.
In this topic i am just comparing injury (diy league) to no injury-friendly (as we re used in ss.de) , not no injury to superteams (new to ss.de), it s a bit different.
About superteams, i ll let you know my opinion...btw you know superteams are not in the real swos , so i wouldn t even consider them as possibility, i mean, you need an editor, that is not exactly the original swos we all know, so...

... If people wouldn t like it, they stay at home. But obviously, they seem interested (40 players on the schedule, record for us). - Playaveli... i will be at sensidays too. That says a lot , i think.

The teach thing was a compliment actually...
I love both friendly swos and competitive swos, but i must say i learned the competitive swos here in ss.de and sure it added a lot to my game (handling to play under pressure, taking the right decision,quickly...trying to be more effective, think about strategies...etc.etc.). So thanks playaveli and redhair for that.
Too bad you gave up the SS.DE way i love and respect to follow the ISSA way.

I don t like this ranking system ... is that a crime? i see some people playing to climb the ranking , but that necessarily mean they re worth the position they reached so i guess there s something wrong in the system (if you have a ranking, at least make it true). Like Coolio is way stronger than this ranking shows , he s n.1 but he shouldn t be so close to others in rank, he won some consecutive ASLs and still risks to lose his 1st place...absurd.
ASL rules, hmmmm, i don t remember , actually. I play ASL and i don t remember problems...maybe with some players attitude in the past, but that s no big deal. Oh custom tactics? Well , it was just an opinion but it s ok with custom too, i play ASL too and i respect the rules (again, that says a lot, a think) ... 3 mins ...eheh, you know what was the problem there...

infact you like nothing and don t agree with anything we did so far...
Not true. I love ss.de , all the work done so far is amazing.
Maybe i don t like a detail or 2 (could it be a rule or whatever...) but i like ss.de, that s for sure.
Who knows me (even a little) knows how i like to play swos, to help new members , to stay in chat , how i like ss.de and being part of it...so you re a bit too hard (and wrong) with your words. I am part of ss.de, i like to be part of it, i don t want to bring negativity . Why should i?

Once again...it s your tournament you can do what you want (this remind me the codemasters forum) but at least i would like to say my opinions and ask my questions.
