Troyificus Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Wow's what's with everyone picking Volt Kraken? Seems to be a lot more popular than I ever remember it being in previous MMX compos... I seem to remember that in the last compo it was Boomer Kawanger. Weird how these things go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It is. I think I'll get my third pick in the drafts! For both our sakes, I hope you get your first pick so that I get mine. =P I seem to remember that in the last compo it was Boomer Kawanger.

Sir_NutS Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Well, I think I will be finishing my project before the compo starts, so I will be joining. Like I said ,Joel won't be joining me in our usual shenanigans, and most people I would ask to team up with are already in teams, so I'll extend an invitation to anyone not in a team. Let's be the maverick underdogs. If you use reason or bitwig, it will make it easier in the case a collab is needed. Just reply if you're interested . My picks: 1-Izzy Glow 2-Rainy Turtloid 3-Boomer Kuwanger 4-Gravity Beetle 5-Volt Catfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Hakštok Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Ok, the name of our team is X-Square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 First post has been updated with Current Picks and Teams. Check to see if everything is okay. Nuts and GrapplingHook are both free agents right now. If we can get one more person (ectogemia?) to participate, I can put you guys all together in one team.

StarDragonJP Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 If anyone's curious I made a list of the ones that had been chosen. There's also a touched up version of the team list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-kFMndrEgAIbjU2480b45p75uHjCV4wjeWrYeZ_5at0/pubhtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also your spreadsheet's sharing settings are restricted, so people can't view it anyway, and also when sharing a sheet from Google Docs its better to Publish and post a link to the published version, rather than just posting a link to the doc. Need one more person to post picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need one more person to post picks. Ok, did a published version now. Yeah I know you did one that's why I said I did a touched up version. I fixed a few errors, added the game numbers to all of them, & made all the X5 ones the Japanese names.I guess the way I said that might have been misleading. What I meant was it's a list of how many people have chosen each Maverick & which pick number it is. I have all the Mavericks in it so you can also see which ones haven't been chosen yet. It's mostly just X7 & X8, but X & X4 are the only ones to have all eight Mavericks chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadix Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hey Darkesword... What happens if ALL of your picks are somebody's #1? Do you do a second runoff? Or do you use a different method to determine who gets what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I am asking some friends around, though, as I said, most people I would ask are already in the compo. I'll try to get one more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow24 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hey Darkesword... What happens if ALL of your picks are somebody's #1? Do you do a second runoff? Or do you use a different method to determine who gets what? It can never hurt to extend your list up to 10 entries. The worst that can happen is it will be ignored. At least this way you won't be disappointing about getting a random song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Here's how the draft works, copied from previous competitions: Here's a quick overview of how the draft works. When the draft starts, everyone's first choice is their top choice. I go down the list and look for top choices that have conflicts. When top choices conflict, I roll a die to see who gets their top choice (dice are useful when more than two people have the same choice).Once all of the top choice conflicts are resolved, the people who lost their die rolls get their first choices greyed out, and their second choice becomes their new top choice. I make a second pass through the list, finding conflicts. Note that at this point, it's possible that a choice that didn't have conflicts in the first pass could have conflicts in the second pass, and a choice that won a conflict in the first pass could also have a new conflict in the second pass. Conflicts are again resolved with dice rolls. Losing choices are greyed out, and the process repeats until there are no more conflicts.Sometimes people will get bumped down to their third or fourth choice; sometimes two people who both picked the same song as their first choice will both lose out to someone who picked it as their third choice; it all depends on the dice, but the draft does ensure that entrants are given a fair shake at getting a choice that's high on their preference list. ___ If it turns out that your 5th choice gets bumped, I'll contact you and figure something out. In addition, my sheet's been updated with StarDragon's fixes. We need one more person to round out the final team, but since we're starting next Sunday, signups will remain open.
