i'll make it work, if 70% of the results are forfeits that means we have a lot of people who don't adhere to the deadline and it didn't work in lore because you werent adamant about it also lol underall |

Regardless of my own opinion on the rule there are some massive differences between then and now. You literally announced your ruling at the last possible moment, on Skype DURING the first weekend of your tournament, at a point when people who were gonna RP a bit late (which was always allowed (albeit "at your own risk") before your last minute announcement) had no way to adapt. Kody on the other hand announces his change a week beforehand. You never implemented your new rule at all, as throughout LoRE multiple battles whose RP's came late were still written despite your ruling explicitly forbidding that. Personally it was not so much your ruling I opposed, it was the way it was announced and thereafter implemented. The timing of Kody's announcement is fine, and at this point I can not yet comment on the implementation.
That being said, I do prefer the softer deadline myself. And I don't really see why I am forced to have a "good reason" to have a personal preference! ![]() Edited by MadBull, Oct 18 2015, 12:40 PM.

If we're gonna be voicing opinions on the deadline rule, I usually start writing once the deadline passes, since that's just 9:00 my time, so if your one of the first on my list in fixtures, RP early . TBH there's a whole week and so I find it weird that people wait for so late to do them, but I'm young and in college so my life might be different than all of ya'll's.

There has been a delay, awfully sorry. Internet's been really crappy and it might go out again now. Haven't been able to post anything til now, and it's bedtime, so... ![]() Results hopefully will be up tomorrow. If the issues persist, I'll... try using a library computer and inform people of the situation. It really shouldn't come down to that though. |

Just popping in to say that I argued against that myself because there was nothing wrong with people RPing after the deadline if the writer hadn't written yet. If they wanted to write early and assign the forfeit that's fine too. The only problem was if people waited for the RP to come in before they wrote (which I don't think happened). The real problem was just results coming in late. I've been a culprit of that too so whatever. As far as I think, the only deadline that should be assigned should be for the writers, not the RPers. If your results don't come in by Monday night or whatever, the remaining results get posted and those results get reassigned. If a writer is continually late, then they get demoted from writing staff. At least that's what I'm planning on for my tournament I guess. |

What I've noticed a lot though is that without a set deadline more and more people just wait and wait as late as they can on Saturday (or even into the early part of Sunday). With a hard deadline, there's slightly less incentive to just put off doing your RPs as late as you feel you can get away with. I mean I guess people could still wait until Saturday night if they really wanted, but really there's almost never a real valid excuse for waiting until right up to or past the deadline to do your RPs. It would be really nice if almost everybody didn't wait until Saturday anyway. I'd be much better if I could actually get some of the results done over the course of the week. It's a lot easier to find time to do 2-3 leftover results on a Sunday than it is to find time for a full 6-7, and a LOT less tedious as well. I can't speak for everyone, but by the time I get to the end of having to do at least half a dozen fights in a row, my quality starts dipping more and more because I'm just ready to be done since I've probably been looking at RPs and such for at least the last 1 hour and half or 2 hours. So no, I don't think there's any good argument against putting the hard deadline back in place. |
