This. It's much less stressful for the results writers if they have their fixtures done progressively over the week than doing everything on one day. And really, what puts people off doing them during the week? It's not hard to throw one or even two RPs up per day. |

2-0 so far. Good to see Kraze getting back on form after a poor start, would have liked to have an actual match between Agent X and Pathos though. Now we have to see how badly Frequency gets smashed

Even back when there was a hard deadline, like Defiance, Vengeance, Annihilation, the FRRs, the majority of RPs still came in on Saturday. It's seriously the most convenient day for people to RP. If it wasn't, and there really is no valid excuse for waiting until the Saturday, why not make the deadline earlier in the week? Like Friday or Thursday night? That gives the results writers the full weekend to do the results. |

If we made the deadline earlier, people would just wonder why we don't put up the results earlier too. It's not really solving the problem in the long run. Yeah, you can go on and on about how it's more "convenient" to RP on Saturday. Well obviously it can't be all that much more convenient if people are still doing RPs right up to when the deadline is rather than sporadically throughout the day. Here's a more realistic interpretation. People see the deadline, notice it's days and days away so they aren't worried about it right now. Then it's Saturday, and I guess most people have more fun things to do on Saturday then type up RPs. So now all of a sudden it's Saturday night and here comes the deadline. The time gets a bit staggered since we're dealing with a lot more time zones than back in the old days, but it's still most people doing them as late as possible. |

Hey, Rampage actually won a fight! Depending on how well Halberd does in FRR: Backlash, Rampage may return with the plow hinged and more power in the axe. But if Halberd does really well then I'll continue to roll with it. I really hate winning by forfeit. I know a win is a win and I'll take it, but it's not how I want to win at all. |

Not bad at all so far! Glad to see I was able to beat Warwolf and MRK, both were surprisingly tough to deal wit. I was very pleasantly surprised at Conqueror being able to take down Eudial as well- I thought for sure it'd end up getting smashed, so I think we can safely say that the old guard's still got it.

Why not? I mean, with the caveat that people are told to expect results on Monday, I think it's fine to give the writers the full weekend to work. The problem is essentially that people are given too much time to RP so we have to set a hard deadline, so that we can help give the writers more time to write the results. Seems to me that the best way of doing that would be to give the writers the entire weekend instead of Sunday/Monday. I mean, as it is, I really don't think you'll see a change in when people RP. People will always put stuff off to the deadline. Whether you make the deadline Saturday, Friday, Thursday. Whether you give people a week or 3 days. If you want people to RP earlier so you can start writing earlier, then just move the deadline up imo. A hard deadline vs a soft deadline isn't really going to change anything, especially since people already could and did get burned by the soft deadline anyway and it didn't really make anyone RP earlier. |

Also, not that it matters but Hammerfall has a hard deadline....we had a user post like 8 hours after the due time and his RP was ignored. I've made it a point to enforce that pretty hard for this tournament. IMO, it works if you are up front with it at the very beginning. |

I've never lived by anyone's rules but my own.

I'm fine with whatever. My tournaments will always have soft deadlines, but not because I think they're superior. I just know it would be unfair to hold RP'ers to a higher standard for punctuality than I would end up holding myself at getting the actual results up. |
