I had a question about who's in ROOT and who's not---when I'm online and I see people who are there in "ROOT bronze, silver, gold" but some who are in those groups are not listed on the front page of this topic. So are all the people in the ROOT groups considered in the tourney? Thanks!

I would assume that anyone who joins a ROOT group is wanting to participate in the tourney. Some of the names may be different in Hamachi than they are on the forum. I put Hamachi names in parentheses a couple months ago, but that hasn't been maintained. In addition, you can invite anyone to join ROOT and play you for their first game. People don't have to be approved first to participate in ROOT, they can just play anyone in ROOT a game, and they're in. Of course you should confirm with them first that they know it is a tournament game and are willing.

Ideally, I would like Isildur to confirm that he's in the tournament. Reason is: In the past, he won a booster pack and at that point he said that he was surprised at winning it because he had never joined/entered ROOT. I will score it as soon as he confirms either when I'm on hamachi or on this thread.

Master KChief · « **Reply #2533 on:** February 06, 2010, 08:51:31 PM »

here is the exchange between me and isildur on hamachi:

[18:46:47]   [isildur - 5.125.95.12] is online
[18:46:50] <<   yo
[18:46:58] >>   hola
[18:47:02] <<   hola!
[18:47:13] >>   would you like to play a game of redemption?
[18:47:21] <<   hmmmmmm
[18:47:36] <<   does your deck have new cards in it? :]
[18:47:40] >>   nah
[18:47:45] <<   sadness
[18:48:30] >>   play any ways?
[18:48:55] <<   root?
[18:50:46] >>   sure
[18:50:54] <<   woot
[18:51:14] >>   listening connect away

I know this message isn't going to go down well, but per the new rule (that is in red on Post #2) both JDS & Isildur need to confirm.

In fact, this is for everybody. We need both opponents to start confirming whether you won or loss and any other pertinent information that happened in the game.

I'm going to grant MKC the points as we adjust to this new rule in it's first week (mainly because my opponent didn't report either, so we're all adjusting).

The second week...I will start watching closer.

just curious, why was this rule implemented?

also, i provided the exchange between me and isildur that took place the day of the game. was this not enough proof?

Gabe · « **Reply #2543 on:** February 08, 2010, 04:57:38 PM »

If both players intend to participate in ROOT then they both need to post after the game. Copying a chat doesn't count as another person posting.

This change was made for accountability for games as well as to keep better track of when Haman's Plots are being used. It's rare that the player using the HP reports but their opponent rarely forgets they used it. All of us who use HP are guilty in this regard and I don't think it's intentional.

Master KChief · « **Reply #2544 on:** February 08, 2010, 05:15:51 PM »

and why exactly would copying a chat not count? the only burden of proof imposed upon me was to prove isildur was still in the tournament (regardless of whether he won the match or not). the chat clearly shows it was a root game.

also, i would say that of most root matches, both players do not usually report the outcome of a match. in most cases, it usually comes down to 'do you want to post the results or should i?' from what i have observed of all my root matches. less work just seems more convenient for most of us.

Because it is still just you posting. He is saying that both people need to post; one person posting a chat (which theoretically could be 100% fictional) doesn't have the weight.

FTR, I'm talking 100% theoretical here; I'm not saying anything specific about anyone.

Master KChief · « **Reply #2546 on:** February 08, 2010, 05:25:36 PM »

this entire tournament is based upon integrity and honesty. for example, all matches could potentially be results of collusion, yet we are not required to prove any further that such matches actually occurred as posted. my point is that if a tournament is based from such virtues, lets not be hypocritical and say it doesnt work in all areas.

We are tweaking some things to try to get more involvement in ROOT. By having both players confirm, it gets both people at least visiting the thread. For some players (like Isildur and JDS), they almost never post (and rarely play). Maybe if they visited more often they'd decide to stick around and play more

Also along these lines, we have also shifted the prizes slightly (also in red on the 1st page). Now if you bring a new friend to actually play in enough games to get 12 points, you can win a booster pack. They could get 12 points even if they lose all their games and only play half of them in the month (2 x 6 = 12), so it's pretty easy. Plus the new player would also probably get a pack themselves for being the highest ranked new player. What a deal!

Master KChief · « **Reply #2548 on:** February 08, 2010, 05:43:01 PM »

i agree there should be more involvement in ROOT by both players, but as witnessed, most players that play in root are casual players and dont really care about breaking top 8 or whatever...thus they usually dont post nor visit this thread. i would hope there would be more chances to include as many players as possible, not more restrictions imposed that could cost most players that really care about the tournament root points.
