I'll answer that with risk of makeing VS feel accused... They knew they had a higher chance of winning if you hosted than if we had a good host.

*COUGH* YOU NEVER COMPLAIN *COUGH*, r3p.

But Chip, there's one little problem then.
What if one of the levels leaks out, and what if one of the levels is too bugged to play in?
you'll get problems with you then.

I already know about half of the lvls to be included, and none of them are bugged. ;p
I wouldn't worry about one of the lvls leaking out, since the complete lvl pool (what the heck is map pool?!) will be revelead prior to JJ2WC3 (and a preliminary one to be revelead this week, I hope).

You are in charge of this, WR? ;o

Edit: Plz create levelmeekin contest plz i wann see moire new cool lvls ok?? ok and plzz no jails ok?? rags levls plz ok?? k :7

Ekhm...You aren't an oracle, Gry. I wonder how can you know what we thought ? O.o It was rather you who thought that you would lose at R3p's server >_>

I am not used to complaining about ping/lags etc. and at R3p's server the ping was lower than at DizZy's. But I didn't have anything against both servers, so I thought that there was no need to change the host. Only you wanted that ;_; But whatever, it didn't make any difference for me.

Oh well, now it's only the history ;)

And one thing: Someone could record the Grand Final next time ;P

I was with Chippie in a top secret meeting held at HQ #[TF]. It's top secret in that none of us told anyone until it was over. But it was public. Too bad you missed it. :p We helped make a lot of decisions and gave suggestions (but Chippie did most of the decisions, obviously).

Official confirmation of what WR stated: Yes, the entire mappool will be published way before the tournament starts. Maybe this week already, but I wouldn't count on it since I'll go on holiday next friday and I like to read all the critism directly.
Being afraid the played levels will leak out? Don't worry - I'll tell no-one, really NO-ONE, which level will be played. It will be published on our website (which is currently under construction by the way) about one hour before the estimated start of the match, not earlier. Don't try to bribe me to release information - you won't get anything out of me ;-)

wee yay ++ chip ;P

I have a cool idea for the 1v1 tourney - an invitational tournament. 12~ players would be invited according to their activity and last accomplishments and the others would have to win the qualification spots.

That would rock and keep people tense. :p

As for the teambattle cup, Battle1 should must be replaced by Blur's modification (Battle Game XII?). All we have to do is bug him enough so he could bother to create a teambattle version.

Already there.

or 2 best players from each country? :rolleyes:

And what about the match pregames? Should they start as soon as the level choice is published, or in, say, 30 minutes after that?

I don't really know about that... My idea was to make a 32-player knock-out tournament again, like last year, and the first 32 subscribers would enter it. Hower, good players could be tipped in advance ("Hey, the subscription starts in 30 minutes. Be there!") to ensure that good players can participate ;)

I think the pregames will start on about the same times as last season, which means around 30 minutes before the actual matches start.

"OMG UNFAIR [censored] [censored] ADMIN POWER ABUSER TYRANTS I PWN I SHOULD HAVE INVITE NOT THAT [censored] [censored] NOOB"

Yes, I am fairly positive that's what would happen. It's probably just best if the first x number of people who sign up get to play, and some others have to qualify. (And if Chippie wants certain people in and tip them off, well, no one's going to be the wiser there, it can't be avoided ;))

Edit: huh? I seem to have accessed some smiley that I didn't even know existed on these forums. Glee. Which is all the more fun because I didn't actually enter the required characters for it, according to the smiley list.

omb rly? well thats nice 2 know!!!1

I'd say.. the first 24/12 (depends on the number of jj2 duelists who want to sign up) will directly get a place in the tournament.
After that, the others have to qualify themselves...

Well that would be really immature. If you were not invited, you should know that your pre-JJ2WC\JDC rankings weren't high enough..

In my opinion this idea is better, because after all we wouldn't like to see two top players like Shaney and Anubis facing each other at the qualification stage because they were too busy and couldn't sign up in time. :|

R3p has a point... Make sure that Anubis gets a place. R3p would have to qualify though, sorry but that's the cold truth ;<

I'm all for the 2 people from each country:). Slovenia only has 2 people playing jj2, me and overlord:)

More like the cold sarcasm tbh. o.O;;

!
 

JJ2 Nations Cup would be an interesting idea :-)

YEAH ME KAJA AND OLSEN WILL KICK UR (-) ;DDDDDDDDDDD lOL we WILL OWN U SO gOOD ^^ (plz lemme play with finland :( )

heh that might not be so good gry. SJ and Snz dislike each other a lot from what I've seen today:)

Oh, it's 2on2? :(

They do?

Whatever, People would like to play for their countries ;P
And the personal feelings aren't important that much here ;d

and, btw. who's KAJA ? ;o

What do you mean ppl will want to play for their own countries? ;( It wouldn't be a fair representation either. Britain does not raise better Jazzers than any other country even if any British players happen to win. ;P

i think we are ok now :) and yea gry could play with us , we could enter as scandinavia :p

so israel could enter as middle east! w0w0w gr8 m8!

jees m8 :))))))))))))))))))) :god:

Haha, Finland isn't technically a Scandinavian country.

Anyway, the forest would be very quiet if only the best birds sang. :p
I wouldn't want an invitational tournament either.

it is scandinavian country :f

Well, they can make something like Kalmar Union :-)

ha, no.

besides there is 1% chance that there would be a jj2 nationscup ..... so why bother?

Because all of us like to spam a lot. =)

There won't be a nationscup this time, that's for sure. If every nation had to represent two players, it wouldn't be fair for some countries who have over 50 players, while others have only 2 or 3. Maybe next year, but I highly doubt it.

I still think it would be more fun than clans cup ;P
And it's possible to get 3 players from every country >p

Uhm no it isnt sasik, and no it isn't again:)

That wouldn't be fair for most of the dutch players.
since we can bring lots of good jj2ers ;.;

Well, it somehow works in other games ;.;

What Brazil can say about football world cup then ? ;-P
I just want to show that nations cup isn't so bad idea ;_;
