Colors League / Olympics Scoring  
To ensure scoring accuracy, I would like to propose that a secondary source (preferably Lucathia or a willing mod) is assigned as a second recipient for sending the final scores of the Colors League/Olympic games to. Much like real life score-based games and systems, there are typically people double-checking the results and it couldn't hurt to do it for this event.

Never dawned on me until now that we lacked it.

I can send my results to Lucathia, no problem. Though if you're okay with that, I'd still like to do the counting ceremony. And don't worry, I wasn't planning to cheat and change the scores to ensure that my team wins, if that was the problem.

EDIT:
Also, would you like to run the League next year? There's clearly no sense in me doing it if half of the people wouldn't want to take part in it then anyway.

You mentioned cheating. Are you implying we had reason to think you would cheat?

That aside, this is merely a behind-the-scenes confirmation much in the same manner that there are people checking lottery numbers after they're drawn. Never hurts to be certain or be mindful of potential mistakes. The counting ceremony is entirely yours; this isn't something to affect that at all.

Re: EDIT: There's nothing clear about anything regarding what you just asked. The League is your baby and yours to run. It's up to you how you run it; and it's also up to you how you take feedback for choices made during this League. You are in serious need of a post-League feedback elaboration if you are of the opinion that so many would not take part in it.

Nah, it's just that it was so sudden, and given the timing I thought that you simply want someone more reliable for the job.

I am thinking about making an anon feedback post after the league, so that no one will be afraid to say what they think. I've heard that at least several people, including mods, would not want to participate. Because I care about this event, I value its success over my control over it, that's why I could give it to someone else if neccessary.

I'd be disturbed as hell if someone else ran it.

That'd be like [CLASSIFIED INFORMATION], [CLASSIFIED INFORMATION], or even [CLASSIFIED INFORMATION] running Colors TCG instead of Lucathia.

That's really nice of you. However, we could always do the same format as last year - Aru as the head of the event who communicates with people, and me doing all the tables, stats, points, and other invisible stuff. I think that's what I'm best at.

Same here, my results will be sent asap to whoever is assigned to this task or I can volunteer for this to save Lucathia some work. The League is my responsibility as well after all.

That could work splendidly. I don't know if Lucathia has the time, so if you'd like the task, that'd work great!

Error-checking for the greater good!

I'm not sure if that's very necessary, since the person who posts each game also knows the points for their games. So don't we all know parts of the score? At first I thought you meant that we should have a second person counting the points for each game, since miscounting could happen.

It doesn't hurt to have two people know all of the scores though! My email or PM are both fine for receiving scores.

So, what's the final version? Mods are sending results to me, Aru AND Lucathia? Or just Aru and me?
[identity profile] perarduaadast.livejournal.com on August 20th, 2012 07:02 pm (UTC)
All three? Sure, why not!

Couldn't hurt to be thorough, right?
