The first round took 3 years... That's not fair to the rest of people waiting on TPA 4 to conclude, nor most participants as the amount of people now missing clearly indicates. The tournament can not continue with no adjustment, plain and simple. Please inform us of the adjustments that will be made to ensure this tournament will conclude in an efficient manner.

Re: Wheel of Fortune [TPA4 Premier] (Round of 24)

Postby sempaispellcheck on Mon Dec 26, 2016 9:44 pm

The main reason the first round took 3 years to complete is that it is highly reliant on people's responses to my PMs. Several players refused to respond to the PMs that I sent, and real life concerns often prevented me from enforcing the 48-hour deadlines I set.
I will be much more diligent about enforcing these deadlines going forward.

On the subject of adjustments, I am debating merging the final two rounds into a single Round of 6. The only drawback to this adjustment is that, since games only have four rounds, not all players will have the chance to start a round. In such a scenario, there would probably be a coin toss game to determine who starts the first round, and then the winners of each round would start the next round.

Do you have any suggestions?

It required 17 consecutive 4 player games on average for each grouping to be resolved, which means some took longer some shorter. That's impossible to do in a single year, would more like be at least 2 if it plays out again. Just for the time to play the games. Somehow you have to reduce the number of games to be played.

Fewer puzzles per 'round'.
Bonuses for solving faster as opposed to trying to milk every $ out of every letter.
My personal favorite: If the guesser gets a letter right, re-spin your random wheel and they can guess again without playing another game. Only play another game when the person in control of the wheel hits bankrupt or guesses wrong.

90 games were trench with a 30 game round limit. Ban trench and/or lower the round limit.

There are many things you can do. I don't really care what it is. But it is stunning to me that 25% of the people that advanced to the second round aren't even active enough to play and yet nothing was going to be done to address the issues with this tournament. So many alarm bells should be going off that this structure is not working. And as mentioned, it's completely unfair to the rest of TPA 4 to continue to wait on this event another 6 years. Significant changes need to be made.

People leave CC all the time. All told, 11 players had to be replaced to start this round. That is not a large number. I'm sure I had to replace over 100 people when I did the Pentathlon, and that tourney lasted 10 months.

Swifte wrote:Fewer puzzles per 'round'.
I could do that, but I'm not sure I like it - because then not everyone gets the chance to start a round.
Though maybe they don't have to - it could just be that the player who solves the puzzle starts the next round.

Swifte wrote:Bonuses for solving faster as opposed to trying to milk every $ out of every letter.
Except you can't you tell the difference between someone who's trying to milk every $ out of it and someone who legitimately doesn't know the solution and doesn't want to waste money buying vowels.

Swifte wrote:My personal favorite: If the guesser gets a letter right, re-spin your random wheel and they can guess again without playing another game. Only play another game when the person in control of the wheel hits bankrupt or guesses wrong.
Again, I could do that, but I'm not sure I like it - mostly because the outcome of the game has a sizable impact on where the wheel lands - you're not going to land on Bankrupt if you win your game, and you're not going to hit the Jackpot if you're the first player eliminated.

Swifte wrote:90 games were trench with a 30 game round limit. Ban trench and/or lower the round limit.
Lowering the round limit seems fair - it was arbitrary from the beginning - but I don't want to discriminate against players who like trench.

So, changes I'm considering:
3 puzzles per round, instead of 4 - puzzle solver starts next round.
Only 1 game per player's turn - decision to spin wheel after correct guess yields completely random $ amount.
Lowering round limit from 30 to 20.
Merging final 2 rounds into single round.

That sound OK?

You will be informed of the category when it is your turn to guess a letter.
