No one was screwed over and that's just taking this too seriously which was never the intention of the tournament.

Yeah you're right, Colin actually lost.

I don't think its s fair to say no one was screwed over when colin actually got screwed.

Highlight was me vs dark tbh

Agreed @ both parts

Striken 12-11-2016 05:21 AM

Damn dude $20. That's so worth wasting hours for lol

The experiment was a success so next time we decide to do this we will set up official rules. Zet earned his win though, don't even try to talk down about that

TeK 12-11-2016 05:25 AM

Colin could've won, but I guess the world may never know...

Just my opinion if you're going to offer a prize as an incentive for participation then why would you go ahead and screw people out of a win in the first place?

Obviously people participate for fun, but many wouldn't mind $20 as a prize if they went all the way, you guys ruined someones chance at that and if you think you didn't don't host another one of these again if you are going to participate yourselves in your own tournament.

The issue isn't the prize. I know for a fact colin could care less about $20, it's the fact they screwed him over as a joke when he wasn't in on it to begin with.

Cool zet won, but maybe colin could have won, maybe the person who didn't sub in against kieran could of won. Who knows.

jesus christ.

This is true too, pretty sure anyone else also would be pretty pissed, or at the very least annoyed, if it had happened to them.

Anyways, I'm not here to make bad blood. Just stating my opinion (which seems to be shared by a good amount of other people).

Colin 12-11-2016 05:29 AM

Well there was a Carly vs Zet round, it's possible if you didn't troll and let me continue I would of outed him(glad he won though)

What sucks is that after trolling and giving her the win instead of letting me walk out and continue to spectate you just insta-kicked me from your guild house after I spent 2 hours watching all the matches and waiting for my turn to stomp carly and see her walk down the loser isle

I knew it was going to be a joke but it seems like you planned to troll me from the start, I put finishing off Supergirl tv show for this tourny and this is how you repay me

I'm sure James knew I would be the least likely person to care about this, I was salt at first but we talk sometimes and he probably wouldnt have done it if it was anyone else so its not too bad

Still funny Zet won 10-1 in finals, my boy

My only reaosning for this tourny was to beat Carly which I did, so all is good with me

Zet did really really well the entire tournament. Not sure if luck or he had a plan but still he almost flawed the finals

Seems like a decent chance Colin could have won considering he had probably the highest or one of the highest ratios in the entire tournament, 3.0.

James205 12-11-2016 05:34 AM

Replay being uploaded to youtube, although it will take a long time considering it as 4 1/2 hours

ator 12-11-2016 05:35 AM

To reiterate, this was all for fun. Why do you guys even care anymore? At this point, I'm pretty sure Colin doesn't really care anymore.

And yeah, we could have robbed him of his opportunity for success in a video game, but that doesn't mean its the end of the world.

In terms of being insta-kicked and never re-invited, I'm pretty sure that was a legitimate error and we truly meant to re-invite you.

If this really brought you emotional distress, Colin, I apologize, but to everyone else that is acting like they care, its not a big deal.

TeK 12-11-2016 05:37 AM

Good thing this wasn't admin-endorsed.

Red 12-11-2016 05:40 AM

Kind of annoying that I legit made a post saying the whole rigging colins round joke upset a few people and I immediately receive a pm from James who I assume is a friend in general saying I'm being ridiculous and dumb.

For someone who puts himself so high on the maturity scale, you could of handled things better.

People don't understand how much logistics it takes to run a stream like this, I have to run like 5 things at one time and I had to ignore tons of PMs because i had other things to do. I could've waited 10 minutes on stream invited everyone properly but that is not fun to watch at all. If UI was better multitasking would be easier but this tournament was never supposed to be serious at all and I did my best to make it entertaining with the resources I had.

you're not being ridiculous or dumb
it's ridiculous or dumb for other people to try and dictate your level of enjoyment of something just because you're expressing a differing opinion

at the least, I figured they'd say sorry to the people who felt their time was wasted rather than going the "your opinion is invalid because it was fun" route

It was entertaining, you guys did a great job! Literally would've been perfect imo if you guys didn't purposefully mess around with any of the results.

1st round went wayyyyy longer than we wanted- we were pretty burned out by how long it took, if people really want a serious RPS tourney then we will make official rules but this was always intended to be for fun. We have had a lot of people tell us it was a lot of fun so we succeeded in that.

Next one (which is not decided) we would def do a 32 bracket since it went very fast after that but we wanted to give a bunch of people involved to have some fun since there isn't much to do

alexx 12-11-2016 07:00 AM

the spar community literally getting upset over rps...
Okay yeah people got ****ed over, tbh I'd be pretty annoyed too if I was in that scenario, but end of the day it's $20 and don't complain about "wasted my time" because if you prioritised a ****ing rps tourney over irl **** then you had nothing better to "waste your time on"
just remember it's my opinion...lol sad I have to Reinforce that.

This thread is almost as entertaining as the event itself was

David 12-11-2016 08:20 AM

I would hope that the people who let that happen never complain about the way another GST is hosted ever again. Glad I was too busy to join, would have been thoroughly annoyed if it was me who got the short end of the stick after spending hours paying attention to Graal for it.

James205 12-11-2016 08:39 AM

Anyway - i have to re-record the stream because of an audio issue so it will be up tomorrow on youtube. You can still catch it for now on twitch here:

https://www.twitch.tv/205tv/v/106642606

I'll post tomorrow when it's up

Tidus 12-11-2016 04:34 PM

Shoutout to everyone who got feelings hurt over a Rock Paper Scissors tournament. especially the people who weren't even there lol Colin was the one person who ultimately got "screwed over" bc we knew he'd understand the joke

Zetectic 12-11-2016 06:44 PM

Good to see some people being very passionate about the RPST. That's the spirit! Just don't go too harsh on these noob hosts, they're still learning and trying to have fun.

You may say that I got lucky, but I was completely reading him. Same with Carly. They usually pull tricks like change, keep, keep, keep, change pattern, which is also known as 6-4-6 and I naturally pulled off the casual 4-2-1 strategy to destroy them.

It sucks, all of my opponents were acquaints to strangers. I wasn't able to trigger them cause I don't know their weaknesses in personalities. Maybe next time, I get a match up with someone like Hmong. So I can expose him top to the bottom while owning him with the brand-new 6-1-1 strategy that I am working on.

Also Colin is very close with James. So he already caught on their joke when they turned off the light in the 1st round. The only part that bothered him was when he got kicked out at the end, which James sincerely apologized and Colin understood.
