[Completed] OFFICIAL Stimhack OCTGN League #1

[spags]

Matt Zeilinger would charge about $200-300.

I think it would be cool to have some sort of token prize for the winner, like a title for your account that says “Stimhack League Winner.” No idea how much work that would be, but if it went through that’d be great.

It shall be done. The winner will get a special forum badge signifying them as the winner.

Additionally the prize pool will contain my Plugged in Tour Netrunner bag and an alt art NBN from the most excellent @Argamas.

Now to just convince the FFG folks to actually use that fancy print-on-demand facility of theirs… I suspect the people here would gladly split the bill

If you’re interested, I can donate a bunch of alt art Adonises and a couple Katis, as well.

Definitely interested.

[spags]

Ah, SHEE-it. I jump on, all ready to rock…

@Nordrunner

-The league will start 07/20/2014

Also, FWIW, I’m giving a prize to whomever finishes in dead last (min. 8 games played).

[JohnnyCreations]

Really glad you did this, @Nordrunner. I’ll echo the idea of a longer league (which we have already extended to 2 months) and also of some sort of playoffs at the end. I could help run that aspect at the end if you’d like.

@Shobalk, is there any way to reduce K-factor after, say, 30 games or so?

[Jamieson]

Hey look friends - I made an account here
ill brush up on my OCTGN before the 20th but I have had a good teacher so far

[Yoshuriken]

Nice! That was even better than I was expecting. Now it’s getting serious.

[hypomodern]

I’ll chip in a set of Scorched Earth alt arts for either last place (the “scorched earth prize”) or to the player that flatlines the most of us :); whichever we’d prefer.

I was looking at the website; it looks like there is no way to change the k-value at all.

Don’t worry, I’ll most likely be at Worlds so shipping shouldn’t be too much of a hassle!

[CrimsonWraith]

Ah, there’s a lot of generosity already flowing around the forum and I can’t help myself… I’ll chip in a playset of alt-art Corporate Troubleshooters to the prize pool.

[spags]

Shit’s getting epic.

I would strongly prefer it if there weren’t prizes that skew the objectives of play (like, valuing flatline wins over agenda wins).

[Argamas]

I’ll send you my adress

Great to get the opportunity to play against great players and have fun with all you guys!

Given the number of players who feel they have a legitmate shot at spags’ prize, there may need to be a bottom cut at the end. Sorry, you folks in the middle; you were too average to continue into the post-season.

BTW–sorry to disappoint you, but all y’all’s chances to win this were gone the minute I signed up for the league.

Any interest in automatically logging deck lists? I could work with db0 to set this up so they post to Meteor automatically.

Would be interesting to see some stats analysis afterwards in more fine-grained detail than the typical faction-only OCTGN data, and for matches that are more competitive than average.

[Stiv]

Joined, ready to rock!

[hypomodern]

Seems like a legit concern :). I’ll just chip them in to the overall prize pool then: distribution TBD.
