Due to the delay in the results, do we get an extra week to RP or not? Just wanted to ask. |

I never understood that either lol. I guess its just something for the writers? Since they don't want to write a bunch of results at once? But its usually just one guy trailing anyway. Everyone else still has the schedule up so they can still RP. |

Probably has to do with the tendency of people to only start thinking about RP'ing for Week X after the results of Week X-1 are in. There is no real rational reason of this yet I must admit I sure as hell am guilty of it myself. |

Four of four. Hooray for depression. Realistically, though, I'm hoping to win at least one match this week and keep myself from going 0-4. Still plenty of scope for that, though. |

Just got one more to do now. Only two RPs this week, but this second one could be quite tricky. |

And that's both of them. Sorry for the delay, but they're in now and hopefully that's what matters. |

Badnik and chris are working on theirs. I suspect as we approach december people will get busier. Hopefully there won't be too many weeks where it goes to Thursday. |

Theoretically there shouldn't be any weeks it goes that far. I mean Robot Bastards has a large enough writing staff so where if you know that one or two people have an exceptionally busy personal schedule that given week other people can pick up the slack on a week by week basis. I mean each writer regularly only has 4 results to do each week so adding an extra result or two every now and then shouldn't be too big of a deal. From what I've seen in some recent tournaments. there seems to be a general feeling of "Well ____ was assigned these results so I'm not sure if it would be right to just give them to someone else to do" and that ends up leading to days and days of delays as the majority of the results are done and submitted, but you're waiting on one person to find the time to get in their allotted share. And I don't say this to be grumbling against the RB staff because as I said it's become something of a recurring trend in a lot of tournaments lately and all the tournaments have different Tournament Directors so it's not one specific person at fault. One further observation is that we seem to have another reoccurring trend to where people will volunteer to be on a writing staff, but find themselves regularly unable to complete their results on Saturday or Sunday (or god forbid Monday ), even though ARC has been going for over a decade now and everyone knows that results are supposed to go up sometime during Sunday (or earlier in the day Monday at the latest).Basically that means that if you want to volunteer for staff (which as anyone that has been on staff can tell you can be a thankless job at the best of times ) then you should be reasonably certain you can set aside the hour or two (depending on what the projected workload may be) every weekend.If you can't commit to that then you should probably rethink your decision to be a staff member. With all due respect to whoever this applies to, when you agree to be a staff member you're agreeing to due when they are supposed to be done not whenever you end up finding the spare time. .But like I said before, once in a while is not a big deal. Shit happens and that's why we have multiple staff members, to pick up the slack when the situation calls for it. |

I totally agree with these sentiments. If one person is consistently holding up results, then they probably should step down. Tuesday should be the absolute latest results go up, and that's only if there's an issue, and in that case the rest of the results should be posted while waiting for the remainder. |

Whilst we wait for these results, should we RP for the next week as usual? |

), even though ARC has been going for over a decade now and everyone knows that results are supposed to go up sometime during Sunday (or earlier in the day Monday at the latest).
