...

the Great HDC Showdown!


http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p2/bktrucking/showdown.jpg


No time constraints. No teams. No brainwork. No quests. No writing skills.

Just a wee bit of thinking.

Interested? Post a reply to this thread in confirmation.

The more people involved, the better.

Details soon.

[Disease]

I may be interested, but I won't to know more about it...

[_____V_____]

Cool. Welcome aboard, mate. :)

Let's wait for a few more replies before I put forth the details. I just had the idea about 10-15 minutes back...need some time to put it into a proper shape.

It will be very much like a showdown between HDC Members, BUT totally different from BR or members/celebrity tag team stuff.

I can disclose this much for now - HDC will decide, for HDC. ;)

[_____V_____]

I have prepared the format. Its ready and all good to go.

All we need now are participants. :)

[roshiq]

Interesting....like to participate:)

[alkytrio666]

Count me in.

*ah-EEH-ah-EEH-ahhhhhh
bow-BOW-boooooowwwwww*

[_____V_____]

Excellent!

Welcome, Alky and Roshiq.

After we have at least 10 confirmations, expect a PM from me. :)

[hammerfan]

Count me in!!

[_____V_____]

Welcome aboard, birthday gurl! :)

On other thoughts, I ll send out the PMs in batches of FIVE. So PMs coming your way after the next confirmation.

[Freak]

Count me in also.

[crabapple]

How does it work? What is this game? Do we get prrrrrrrrizes? Is it fonny ?

[_____V_____]

Welcome, Freak.

Okay, we have five participants now so I ll be sending out the first batch of PMs.

And now for the curious-minded who want to know what this is about (before throwing their hats in), it goes like this :

Each one of you will be asked to list NINE of your favorite choices - in movies, music, books, comics, TV shows & games.

Each category is coded, from 1-9.

A random category will be selected each time, and three choices (of three random participants) in that category will be in a showdown with each other.

HDC sees, HDC calls. Even those whose choices end up in the showdown, will be allowed to vote in it. Each showdown will be a run to 5, so whichever choice reaches 5 first, wins.

Your choice wins...you end up with 1 point. Ergo, +1.

Your choice loses...you end up with -1.

All of that is added up to the table of HDC Showdown, and then the eliminations begin. Till we find our eventual winner.


Sounds confusing? Its very simple, really. Just confirm your participation and go with the flow. :)

[neverending]

I'll be there. But I'm at work all day today. So if it starts today I'll probably get shot to hell.

[_____V_____]

How does it work? What is this game? Do we get prrrrrrrrizes? Is it fonny ?

Oh yes you are gonna love it, crabby. :)

No prizes other than bragging rights of being the Winner of the Great HDC Showdown. :cool:

One more thing, the people who confirm first get to seal their choices. If your choice is similar to someone else's choice who has already sealed it, you will be required to change it. So hurry! :D


I'll be there. But I'm at work all day today. So if it starts today I'll probably get shot to hell.

Ahh I dont think we will be starting before Monday at least.


I am sending the first batch of FIVE pms NOW.

[_____V_____]

PMs sent. Once I receive your replies, all you have to do is sit back and cheer for your choices. ;)

(thats right, get the pom-poms out!)

Another point to note, your choice(s) wont be revealed until the Showdown leaderboard is posted. That will be in-between a certain number of intervals among the Showdowns.

[ChronoGrl]

Hmmmmmmmmmm - I'm intrigued. Count me in.

[_____V_____]

Yay! Welcome aboard, Chrono. :)

Expect a PM after three more confirmations.

[_____V_____]

Just to reiterate, this is NOT on the lines of BR or Idol. Its a totally different cup of tea. Dont worry about the time factor for this. :)

All you have to do, is confirm your participation, and send me a filled-up format which I send you through a PM.

The rest...will be in the hands of HDC. And me.

[_____V_____]

Received another confirmation through PM - and its from RODERICK USHER!

Also received 2 PMs with their choices already. I will start filling out the choices table once I have at least 5 replies with me.

(so that you will have a fair idea of which choices others have sealed already)

Just to give you an idea of the format, here are the NINE categories listed :

Favorite Non-Horror Movie
Favorite Horror Movie
Favorite Movie Character
Favorite Song
Favorite Album
Favorite Book
Favorite Comic/Anime Character
Favorite TV Show, and
Favorite Game

[massacre man]

Alright, I'm in this.

[_____V_____]

Yes! Welcome, MM. :)

Expect the PM now, folks.

[Roderick Usher]

my lists are in:D

[_____V_____]

And what lists they are!! :eek:

Rod's list gives me another idea though...hmm...

[Angra]

I guess i'm in.

But if this project turns out to be too time demanding my ass will be out again for sure.

[_____V_____]

The only time-demanding part is how much time you ll need to wave your pom-poms and yell your cheering for your choices. :D

Welcome in, buddy.

[Haunted]

I hate tournaments!!! Are Posher and I the only ones who are poopers here? I don't read comic books, I'm the only person on the forum who listens to Tori Amos religiously... V, you're wonderful, but can't we do something else for a change?

[_____V_____]

My dear, this is not a tournament per se. It is different, because it follows leaderboards. I prefer to call this a Showdown.

[Haunted]

Same bloody goddamn difference.:p :D

[_____V_____]

These choices have already been sealed by TEN participants, folks. You cannot choose them again in your choices. ;)

[Roderick Usher]

who the fuck watches American Idol?
and The Cure did a cover of Modern English?

[_____V_____]

Clarification - Elimination will be in a batch of THREE for every round. Which means, the lowest scoring three participants will be eliminated at the end of each round.

Plus, the choice for the category for Showdown will be determined by the first participant who is online at that moment.

The numbers wont necessarily mean the order of the category. They will be jumbled up.

Also, MOST IMPORTANTLY, at the end of each round (when we have two participants eliminated), I will REMOVE a category and ADD another category in its place. The winners will be required to send me their choices in THAT new category then.

I will keep posting the leaderboard so that you can keep a tag on your scores.

Think of this in Roman times' terms. You are all Emperors and Empresses, your choices are the gladiators, and Showdown will be the arena. :cool:

[ManchestrMorgue]

I'll give this one a shot too.

[bwind22]

Go ahead and annouce it V... BWIND22 IS IN!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

I also got a confirmation through PM - welcome to FORTUNATO!!

Expect a PM headed your way, folks.


Well, I'm screwed. I answered the questions honestly, not what would be "powerful."

You might be pleasantly surprised...your choices could be pretty powerful too. Remember, categories change after every round, so you still have a solid chance. :)

That explains the smell.. :rolleyes:

[ferretchucker]

And the fur in my orange juice. Bleugh.

[crabapple]

Oh, don't fret. Some monkey fur in your orange juice makes the drink a happy one. Back before carbonated beverages were invented, people put monkey fur in their drinks to lend that "pep to their step" :eek:

Beware! That monkey hasnt won the BR this year so he is on the lookout for winning this. His fur might be poisonous, and he might have deliberately spiked the drinks. Not to mention he is a champion poo-flinger too! ;)

These choices have already been selected and duly sealed by EIGHTEEN participants, folks. You cannot choose them again in your own choices.

Since we have just started our game, I ll ease it out for those who sent in their entries rather hurriedly.

All of you may STILL revise your choices in THREE categories. If you want to change your choices, send me a PM duly mentioning the category, your old choice, and your selected NEW choice. Remember, revision is for THREE categories only!

[_____V_____]

This is the Choice Grid we will be using throughout Showdown...


http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g12/ravenavi/Grid.gif


ONE participant (anyone at random who is online at that moment) will be required to choose from those options numbered 01-09 in the Grid. (which will be randomised and not according to the categorisation at the moment)

And whats the "Mixed Bag" all about, you ask?

Well, if that participant chooses Mixed Bag, then random choices from any THREE categories go head-to-head against each other in the Showdown following the choice made. Like for example, a favorite book might take on a favorite character and a favorite song! ;)

Same rules which I stated earlier. Run to 5 votes, and the winner gets 1 point, the losers lose 1 point.

+1
-1
-1

And they will be entered into the leaderboards! :D

With 18 entries already in, we are good to tee off the Showdown. Entries are still open, and will continue to remain open for awhile.

So...THE GREAT HDC SHOWDOWN COMMENCES AT NOON EST TOMORROW!! BE HERE THEN FOLKS!!!

[ferretchucker]

Let's Rock n Roll.

These choices have already been selected and duly sealed by the FIRST TWENTY participants. You cannot choose them again in your own choices.

Since we have just started our game, I ll ease it out for those who sent in their entries rather hurriedly.

All of you may STILL revise your choices in THREE categories. If you want to change your choices, send me a PM duly mentioning the category, your old choice, and your selected NEW choice. Remember, revision is for THREE categories only!

[Angra]

Just to let you know, V.

Fatal Frame is a PS2 game, not PS3. :rolleyes:

tsk, tsk, tsk..

[_____V_____]

ROFL...Ahem. :rolleyes:

"Kodak moment"? ;)

[_____V_____]

I have been putting some thought into the Showdowns, and this is what I have finally decided upon for the process :-

The choice from the Grid will be followed by a choice of Challenge.

Like say, for example, Chronogrl is online when I post the Grid and ask someone to choose. Chrono chooses "3", and then challenges 2 random opponents to take on. So it will be her choice (read gladiator) in the category marked "3" versus the choices of her 2 challenged opponents in the same category marked "3".

(And since nobody knows anybody's choices, it will give an idea to you all too)

Makes the whole thing a bit more realistic, plus you get to rip into others a bit too. ;)

(Your choice has flattened his/her choice...MyBrute anyone?)



For the "Mixed Bag" choice, the choices would be Row 1, Row 2, Row 3 (marked R1, R2, R3), Column 1, Column 2, Column 3 (marked C1, C2, C3), Diagonal 1 and Diagonal 2 (marked D1, D2) and some other permutations/combinations I come up with at that moment.

The Round will continue till all the choices in all categories do battle with each other ONCE. Then we check the leaderboards to find out the first THREE eliminated participants.

And so on.


Right now we have 20 participants. I need SEVEN more, at least. Despare and The Return are two, so FIVE more oughta complete the leaderboard.

Come on, HDC!

[neverending]

I haven't got a clue what you explained there, but I'll see how it goes.

[_____V_____]

Or is Angra scaring your pants off? :D

[Angra]

That's a pretty awsome showdown.

[Papillon Noir]

I've been moving all weekend and finally made it back to the real world (i.e. work :p ) Oh, and I am so in! I am not afraid. Ha-haaa! :D

[Angra]

........Now what?

[ferretchucker]

Now we begin for reals?

[_____V_____]

I've been moving all weekend and finally made it back to the real world (i.e. work :p ) Oh, and I am so in! I am not afraid. Ha-haaa! :D

Welcome aboard! PM sent.


Now we begin for reals?

In a little more than an hour, we begin for reals.



I still need 3 more participants.

[_____V_____]

23 lists of favorites so far.

2 confirmations of participation, but no list yet.

Need 2 more.

Less than 10 minutes for the Show(down) to begin!

[neverending]

I still don't understand what is going on. Okay, there are three characters in a showdown. Then what?

[_____V_____]

Then HDC votes. A run to 5 votes.

The first one to reach 5, wins. :)

AND THE SHOWDOWN THREAD IS UP AND RUNNING!!!

[neverending]

So what was all the stuff about +1 and -1?

[_____V_____]

The winner gets 1 point. The losers lose 1 point. ;)

[ferretchucker]

I understand.

Is there a point in the game where people lose enough points that they and their choices are out?

[Angra]

I understand.

Is there a point in the game where people lose enough points that they and their choices are out?

It doesn't matter. You're already out of the game.

Better luck next time, chuuuummmmmmph! :cool:

[_____V_____]

Is there a point in the game where people lose enough points that they and their choices are out?

Thats what the leaderboards are for. We will keep an eye on them at the end of every 9 matches.

And WELCOME ABOARD, NEWB!! :)

Expect a PM headed your way.

I still need ONE more participant. If MissMacabre turns in her format duly filled up (alongwith Despare & The Return), we are ready to rock and roll!!
