/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

>and at times having 8 different simultaneous layers of false flagging at play that Ms. /co/ has actually the smartest voters.
Ms. /co/'s falseflagging only works because of NSA's stupidity. Anyway, considering Queen gave King the whitelist and King gave them the Loser's Bracket as well as both not knowing what a video game is with what they approved on the whitelist, I think they are equally slow.

I voted in all the tournaments. This means I'm simultaneously the smartest and dumbest voter alive.

>>69008
The whitelist Queen approved around a year ago is not the same to the one we have now.

>>69010
They still voted back in everyone this year.

>>69035
The hosts never showed us the stats, right?

>>69037
you’re probably thinking of the John Silver anon who’s a psychologist, which honestly makes perfect sense

The thing with both the whitelist and loser's bracket is that voting stupidly is only part of it. Incompetent hosts and people wanting to adding new rules to a popularity contest on a Mongolian basket-weaving forum also have to do with it.

>>69039
This. I was gonna question what actually brought loser's bracket up in the first place. I wasn't around for KoV 2022 so i don't know if a lot of people were asking for it. I do know that it came up occasionally among other rulefagging and added stipulations over the years in /co/ but it was never close to the most debated. Shit like 256 bracket and E8 debate got more attention. But suddenly, out of nowhere, NSA said loser's bracket was gonna be a question and tried to sneakily force in through during voting.
Which by the way reminds me as >>69036 points out the actual numbers for the last round of rule voting was never released and it's very likely NSA just added together options again for the loser's bracket, to say nothing of the whitelist. But it looks like we may be stuck with this stuff now.

i fucking hate NSA

>>69040
It wasn't that major in Ko/v/ last year from what I can remember. There was a much bigger push for a 256 bracket, but it got ignored by the hosts in favor of allowing non-vidya characters and losers bracket instead.

i hatefuck NSA

>>69040
>>69042
I try to give the benefit of the doubt, but that's so shady.

>>69045
It sounds like NSA went with it because he personally liked that suggestion rather than because it was something a lot of people wanted

>It sounds like NSA went with it because he personally liked that suggestion rather than because it was something a lot of people wanted
Which would be the same case with last ms. /co/. In fact the one or few anons bringing it up at all is possibly him.

>>69043
We know, King Kong. You don't need to brag about it.

>>69051
NSA last ms. /co/ openly rejected the idea that tourneys are popularity contest (said it was for OC and finding new stuff or some shit). All these rule measures pretty clearly favorite keeping up thread engagement above all else. Between that and raw voting data being hidden every round the jokes about tourneys being like booked wrestling promotions may be truer than most think.

>>69052
As a campaigner, I hate this. We need to get rid of NSA.

>>69052
if NSA wanted to increase engagement he’d step down as host

>>69052
NSA can go fuck himself.

>the jokes about tourneys being like booked wrestling promotions may be truer than most think.
Those wrestling streams someone did for Queen and King last year feel more legitimate than the tournaments at this point

>>69087
/tnt/ likes to complain

>>69087
Every new host that we've gotten doesn't seem to want to coup nsa

>>69087
A lot don't know how to host. That's why we keep begging for new hosts instead of taking the job ourselves. There's also the fear of thread deletion because you have to talk with mods before you do these tournaments and most don't know what to say without pissing them off.

>>69087
It's a thankless job.

>>69118
That's because Stats presumably didn't check for rigging, which is reasonable as it's essentially guesswork.

>>69118
taking time to check the votes is fine, people just need to stop losing their shit over every minor happening.

>>69118
It's that or we just ignore rigging

>>69087
There's been a history of certain nefarious autists sneaking in multiple times and trying to hijack, leading to natural distrust of newcomers. Plus NSA apparently has a vetting process and its up to him who runs the tourney as he talks to mods. So that alongside being a thankless and super autistic task, it's not so simple as just going 'okay now I will host the /co/ or /v/.'

>>69122
>>69126
>>69140
Stats had specific programs that did most of the work for him in the sheets and google forms. That's why he could create and post results within minutes.

>>69040
>it's very likely NSA just added together options again for the loser's bracket, to say nothing of the whitelist. But it looks like we may be stuck with this stuff now.
oh my fucking god you're right
that would explain so much

I’ll maintain that /v/ is dumber than /co/, not that /co/ is smart by any means. It’s just that /v/ is so retarded trying to have an on topic discussion there is almost impossible.

>>69195
No one ever actually figured that out. If he had programs why wouldn't he release them at any point?

>>69045
>one more day
>drawn out by two
Just adds that the whole losers' finals was a mistake.

>>69255
He did use programs and just didn't foresee other people hosting I guess

>>69255
He probably would've if his life wasn't unfortunately cut short before he had the chance to release them
God have mercy on Statsanon's soul

>>69089
Fitting anons from /co/ and /v/.

>>69004
This next King /v/ will decide where everyone should rank.

>>69263
Was there ever actual any concrete evidence he died? He could’ve just flat out left for all I know

I want to kill NSA.
