change to Persona 5

Change to Persona 5

Hey I just wanted to refresh my memory on what happens in round 3. Is it just two match polls per day? But we still need to pick one game per eight remaining games? Or 1 game out of the 4 games featured in the poll?

For the rest of round 2:

Batman
Pokemon

the answer is early in the first post (one pick per day)

Next round should be interesting, but it looks like everyone is safe for this round.

---

so is round 3 still four matches a day?

two

Rooting for a fire and ice battle to death.

Breath of the Wild
Mass Effect 2
Super Mario Odyssey
Grand Theft Auto V

In the first post, it says we need to pick a winner from four-packs starting with the division finals. Round 3 is the division semi-finals, correct?

Regardless, my first pick for round 3 is Dragon Quest XI

This is a very valid point honestly. I wonder if I had it wrong then or just typed it wrong, but the rules are pretty clear about it not changing before the division finals.

So unless there are big objections, I believe the only fair thing to do is keep it at that. It could've made a huge difference in what people picked.

@scaryice

We're still doing one pick per every four matches in round 3. I apologize for any inconvenience and confusion, that's all on me. BetrayedTangy of course choose which of the first two and which of the last two of his picks he keeps.

Also, congratiolations on making it through another round all four of you!

I wouldn't call it clear, because it also says "For every matchday, you must pick one game that you think will advance," but whatever, it's fine.

Breath of the Wild

That's true, but then I stated that it would be starting with the division finals right afterward, which is misleading.

good to know, I actually kinda planned around this assumption

My bad, forgot about what I picked in round 2.

Guess I'll pick Mass Effect 2, then.

RE2/Bloodborne seems like a toss-up, tough to make a pick on that one.

Super Mario Odyssey after that.

Did two people just get eliminated for forgetting to make pics?

No, because we're picking one game to advance between yesterday and today. One game per four matches, it's just that there's only two matches/day now.

Eh if I knew the rule would contradict what is written in the first post I might have made different picks early on, and not get eliminated.

Yeah, there was no good solution there, I just flat out screwed up and someone would have acted differently either way.

---

God of War
Skyrim

---

Well I'm thankful you apologized, at least.

This shit happens when you are hosting things, I suppose. Meh.

If it's any help, I screwed myself over with it too.

---

I'll take GTAV.

---

God of War
The Last of Us

So, what's the oversighted issue and how would it been solved?

---

Originally I thought round 3 was still 4 matches per day, so I don't know if the format underwent changes pre-contest, or if I was just reading misinformation.

What were the rules the previous time, in 2015 or whenever?

My next picks:

Portal 2
TLOU

Agent M wins today if GTAV doesn't comeback!

---

I was going to say, everybody went for GTA V except me? I wasn't touching that if I didn't have to; GTA V and Red Dead Redemption can reasonably be assumed to be in the same ballpark, I'd say. I was guessing GTA V would be a little better, but not by much.

I do have GTA V winning the division in my bracket... mostly because I had to choose something. Not that my bracket is going places.. So, if GTA V can't pull it out, then I'd be thrilled to at least win one of these mini-contests.

congratulations Agent M!!

well done

Thanks, firefdr. I was nearly eliminated by Dragon Age too... but my wishy-washiness caused me to change my mind right before the match. I really thought this thing was gonna go to round 4. I was trying to figure out how to not pick the top 3-4 games with the least amount of risk.

It's too bad about the rule misunderstanding, but thanks to ctesjbuvf for taking the time to do this. Keeping track of stuff like this takes time, although I suppose most of us have a lot of extra time right about now.

Congratiolations Agent M! Good job to the other three getting two rounds longer than anybody else. This has been fun to host, I think it's a cool little side contest, that doesn't require too much time.

The rule misunderstanding situation was a huge shame, because in either case it screwed some people over and I basically had to choose who. I chose this because it felt most fair. The info that it changed to two matches now is not easy to find yourself and I thought this way would screw people over less than the other way. The damage is all on me and it would've probably helped if I didn't get this out last minute.

Well, I still study and work full time, but almost everything else I usually spend time on is canceled and I can't see anyone but my two roomates so I sit at home all day giving me a lot of extra time.

RIP, I was hoping to save Xenoblade for the next round. Well, congrats Agent M!

---

Congratulations @Agent_M !

Congrats!
