WildThing Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I think tier barriers would be better if they were just inserted wherever a 1 point gap shows up between unsanctioned alliances, or a 3 point gap between sanctioned alliances, just so they can actually be used to help read the graph in a logical way rather than just being random breaks with no correlation to score other than that of the 12th ranked alliance.

dragonknight1000 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 yes, keep it up TOOL, one more week worth of good gains (and maybe more sooner than that) and we'll get the $&^@ off of that island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahenshah Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 lol I cant wait for the WAE of the month alliance, anti-survivor is fun. Good luck to the remnants ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlashill Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Yet another day of almost elimination for MHA. I think we're Hatch-ing a game plan here. It's a decent one. Second-strongest gains each day make for sticking around until the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've tried it and there was opposition to it (mainly from me). I don't like those kinds of barriers as they are dynamic and can change very quickly - and there is no numerical value for the breaks, with that, if implemented will have just random breaks in the line and to many a new reader, the first question will be "Why is there random breaks?" and we'll have to explain. Traditionally, everything has been pinned to the 12th ranked alliance's score - be it the Add Line and Drop Line, now these Tier Breaks.

WildThing Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Why not get rid of them all together then? How many times have you had to explain how the add/drop lines work? I bet if the tier barriers actually meant anything, you'd get asked about them too. The only reason you don't, is because currently they mean $%&@ all and no one bothers asking. If they're gonna be there, they may as well be there for a good reason and to hell with whoever isn't intelligent enough to figure it out. It's a dog eat dog world out there, and I'm sick of all the little dogs bringing this world down for the rest of us. Viva la revolution and all that jazz.

Or, alternatively, a short note could be added at the end of the update explaining the formatting of the Sanction Race to newcomers. I think this would be good for future ASR competitions as well. Even Team Tour was pretty simple once someone explained it to you, but at first glance we all went "wait what". -Bama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londo Mollari Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'm going to take this opportunity to show a tiny bit of favouritism and start off by pointing out the Multicolored Cross-X Alliance's half-point gain, about 165k NS, all done without adding a single nation. Nope. Ya'll just bought 40,000 infra yesterday. And I'd like to remind you that slow and steady always wins the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Useless for any practical purposes, perhaps, but asthetically they do help break things up, a bit nicer on the eyes if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodemofi-NPO Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'll also vote in favor of the Tier barriers. Having all the unsanctioned alliances in a mass doesn't look good, and then you get every updater adding breaks in random places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KainIIIC Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Yes, count me as a supporter of tier barriers. The Sparta-Polar-MHA race is so exciting! Soon enough IRON will join in on the fun. The next few weeks will be quite exciting if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahman Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 So far 6 against barriers, and 3 for. make that 7 against, I think they're useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haflinger Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well, if we get rid of them, I suggest cutting the race list to a max of 20 alliances for readability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
