HDC Weekly Debate - Do we have had enough of tournaments?
 

Well?

I have been getting plenty of PMs to get another tourney up and running now that the Male Villains one is drawing to a close.

(Angra still wants me to do the HDC Tournament, which I have been avoiding purposefully...lest it might start some sort of flaming and favoritism war, which is the last thing HDC would want right now)

But of late I have noticed that voting has slowed down, especially after the spammers started targetting HDC since mid-October, and members got very busy with pre-Christmas stuff.

Of course it helps in maintaining the traffic around these parts, but then again we have had so many till now that maybe HDC members have reached the saturation point as far as tourneys are concerned.

So...have your say.

I'm neither saying yes or no.

But the tourney sure could need some new installments.

I still say a HDC Members tourney (No newb... don't think it) would be kick ass. Much more personal and therefore also much more interesting and FUN!!

You could also think about the structure of the tourney. See if you could change some of it, to make the game varie. But all of that doesn't matter if the category isn't particularly interesting.


To me the best tourneys has been the Actors Tourney and the Actress Tourney, coz this was real people we voted for. Real Hollywood people, but nevertheless..

No- I see no reason to stop. I like them. They're fun, they're quick no-brainers, and they keep this place together.

If you don't want to vote in them, then move on to the next thread. It isn't as if they're blockading everything else, and many times they're actually the most interesting thing going on here.

I say keep 'em coming Avi.

Yeah. Too much of anything runs it into the ground.

(Ask Cobain about Heroin, his answer will be similar)

You think Cobain will answer?

Hmm...changing the format/structure...I think I MIGHT have some ideas to tweak that.

So, other than a possible HDC Members tourney, what other ideas do you have for possible new(er) installments?


Thanks, Kev. But I am really open to opinions/suggestions here. If the majority say no, then no will prevail.


True. And I am having second thoughts about them too.


Well, if you ask his ardent followers, they ll reply "If only you asked hard enough..." ;)


So far, 1 in favor, 1 against, and 1 undecided. Can we have some more opinions on this please?

None. None whatsoever. :)

I say keep bringing them. At times this place is totally dead, and the tournaments at least spark some life into the General Forum and keep it moving along.

Without them half the threads would be full of pics, and the other half full of attempts at smartassy posts and similar replies. Next stop, if that actually happens, would be jumping ship.

I'm in favor of small games, though maybe the next tournament could wait a little. Perhaps some sort of HDC game caucus is in order.

Who better to voice their opinions on this topic than the voters themselves?

Noted all points laid down so far. I await to hear what the rest have to say.
