Title: RA2 CHALLENGE THREAD - CHALLENGE BELT
Post by: Dragonfire on October 03, 2017, 02:37:08 AM
[…] you can challenge the belt holder at anytime, similar to that of the original title system, in that belt's meta with any other features being up to the challenge itself.

Rules.
There will be 4 metas that you can enter. DSL-S, Stock, IF and DSL-IRL. Weightclasses will cycle each month. LW, MW, HW, SHW. Not in that order though.
You can enter as many of the different metas as you want.

> replacing the titles

nice really needed that perfectly fine system to be scrapped for a more restrictive and totally untested system

I'm assuming this
IRL fighting competitions are banned (for title fights)
applies to both systems.

I'm just asking so nobody votes according to a metagame preference and then wastes a vote.

i say do a best of both worlds system

run the challenge belt as the main belt (think the major title of WWE, the WWE Championship), and then have individual meta titles (including an IRL title to keep irl people happy, but make it so the IRL title and IRL fights have absolutely no standing in relation to the challenge belt) for all the metas which act as minor titles (like the United States/Intercontinental Championships from WWE). Keeps everybody happy but pares down the titles from about 18 down to 4 (DSL, Stock, IF, IRL).

i support the idea of the challenge belt but deleting the old titles doesn't feel right imo

either that or hand the old titles to somebody else to run seperate from the challenge belt. i wouldn't mind running them, but i know i've not been here for much time at all and so i'm not qualified enough.

Extra work for the titles is not an issue – it only takes an extra second to update the records. The poll is more of a question in terms of whether keeping/replacing the titles would be better/worse for the belt system for more abstract concepts as “hype” or “prestige”.

^ This tbh. I really like this idea. For IRL though, there should be rules in place so that there are no complaints.

Added a new poll option as per TheIronsideProtocol's suggestion. You should be able to change your vote if you support it.

I mentions this in the Challenge discussions thread, but Imma throw my 2 cents in here. Having a seperate title for IRL I think is a good thing as you don't cut off a good amount of your playerbase
Title: Re: RA2 CHALLENGE THREAD - CHALLENGE BELT
Post by: TheIronsideProtocol on October 06, 2017, 01:09:16 PM
I've noticed it doesn't include IRL in the poll choice. Will you at least put that as a seperate title so those who like IRL and want to have something to fight over can do that?

I'm sorry, but as with previous discussions, the stance for IRL in the Challenge Board is it will not be observed in any official capacity. This means that IRL challenges will not contribute to CB points or anything else, although you can still have IRL challenges by all means. I hope that you are able to empathise with the decision.

Okay, lets see what your last few challenge matches have been:
-vs Orc for DSL HW title: IRL against someone who rarely builds to win (you actually ended up losing this one, despite entering your usual psuedo-gutripper fare)
-vs LRA2 for DSL HW title: IRL against someone who builds to win and seeks "victory at any cost" (in his own words) but fails miserably at it
-vs Boto for DSL LW title: IRL against someone who thought submitting a skyscraper was a good idea
 :rolleyes:

Looks like you were scooping up titles by trying to curbstomp IRL builders.

Because they would only build IRL, and every other mod/meta is pretty dead, so DSL-IRL was my only option for title matches. I even said I'd prefer to do DSL-S matches but nobody would agree.

I was the one who asked Badger for IRL. I do think IRL could be used as a meta but we need to come together as a community to decide rules and regulations. I don't really build in anything else nor do I want to.

Post by: TheIronsideProtocol on October 08, 2017, 11:04:57 AM
I think a IRL title seperate from the challenge belt, and even the main titles if you want, wouldn't HURT anyone, and would either just A: do nothing to hurt/help or B: help by keeping IRL builder happy.

Can this be extended by a month or two?

  • To qualify to be a contender, you must have had a non-disqualified challenge board battle in the past 3 calendar months from the current month e.g, if it is October, then July 1st would be the cut-off date. Potential contenders will be listed in the Spreadsheet.

Good thing the next one will probably be DSL-S MW, only four or so people are DSL-S people, and you probably need to like a playstyle in order to play SHW.

There's no IRL so this system is bad.

NO SERIOUSLY I HATE IRL WITH A PASSION BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE SENSE FOR THERE NOT TO BE A CHALLENGE BELT FOR IT
Title: Changes to the Challenge Board Rules
Post by: 09090901 on June 13, 2018, 01:53:26 PM
Since this board is barely clinging to life, I'll be loosening up some of the requirements.

Firstly, the amount off challenges you can be a part of at once is now unlimited. Keeping challenges in gridlock due to active challenge going nowhere is dumb, we're getting rid of that. 1 week deadlines are still in effect.

We're also now going to allow challenge participants to host their own challenges (assuming all challengers consent). These challenges will be considered 'casual' and will not count towards any rankings. Make sure to include that your challenge is self hosted somewhere in the OP.

I'll look in to other things later on, so stay tuned I guess.
Title: Re: RA2 CHALLENGE THREAD - CHALLENGE BELT

Updated rules in first post.

By the way, is anyone using the spreadsheet (Quick View (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A57NTc3om0Q3um1sG7dRAAOLCehSusTgdVf8ZTPp59k/pubhtml) | Full View (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A57NTc3om0Q3um1sG7dRAAOLCehSusTgdVf8ZTPp59k/edit?usp=sharing))?

In an attempt to keep the spreadsheet as comprehensive record of the CB, challenge belt matches have been added in the Challenge Belt sheet.

Also as an aside — the weight class was supposed to rotate every month, but it seems it is permanently on HW?

You can. But you have to wait for other challenges first. Also, Idk if you can use other weightclass for challenge belt. I think it's maybe possible, but people mostly use HW for this
