Since Nemelex appears to be in flux, is he treated like the newer gods and not used, or is he still viable?

Still usable, but I'd use him at your own risk.

I was just getting clarification on options; I find Nem to be too unpredictable for me in a tournament scenario where I need things to be at least somewhat reliable. Though "reliably unpredictable" isn't what I meant by that.

To clarify, I mean that you can use him, just know that he is likely to undergo significant changes and so if you don't want your game to be potentially affected by a nem nerf, don't worship him or don't upgrade your game once it's started.

Seems interesting. I'm in.

Do I need to wait to be added to the spreadsheet before playing?

Start and if he says no, don't restart.

Nope you can play now. When I add you it will update the score for any games you already played.

Re: Crawl "Sudden Death" Challenges Season 2 - SIGNUPS OPEN

I added some Division Statistics to the "Overview" tab of the standings sheet. Just shows games played and won for each division, by week and overall. Maybe I'll add a page with individual player stats next week, if I have time.

I'll probably start with the week 2 challenge, but I'd like in.
(TY for organizing all this stuff, WalkerBoh!)

Re: Crawl "Sudden Death" Challenges Season 2 - SIGNUPS OPEN

Sure, you're in. You still have a couple of days to do the Week 1 challenge, too, if you have the free time to do it.

Also, I think we got the kinks worked out of the scoring sheet tonight. So hopefully it should work without any errors now. Thanks for having patience while we fixed it up.

Finally I return to my family next week so I suspect I will not be able to play some/all remaining games. Thank you WalkerBoh for organizing the tournament!

What, were you in captivity?

Your family won't let you play one game a week?

That's one of the alluring things about csdc. It's just *one* game. Granted, that's still ~4-10 hours of time if you do well.

Re: Crawl "Sudden Death" Challenges Season 2 - SIGNUPS CLOSE

Not captivity ;), I was in business trip for 10 months.
Upon arrival we will have a 2 weeks vacation trip and I am not going to use internet there.
1 game per week does not look much but it corresponds to 10+ hours for slow player like me which is quite a lot.

Edit. My first game took 10:37:28, my second one took 12:12:28 and I had only 2 runes when died.

Re: Crawl "Sudden Death" Challenges Season 2 - SIGNUPS CLOSE

I assume each combo is determined moments before they are announced.

How do you determine the secondary conditions?

So you admit secretly practicing the combos long before they are announced! :D

Re: Crawl "Sudden Death" Challenges Season 2 - SIGNUPS CLOSE

Just, uh, FYI, I'm dropping out of the competition. I really wanted to beat dpeg, but I wouldn't have signed up at all if I had known how ridiculous June and July were going to end up being for me. Between moving, finding a new job, and finishing up this art show, I find all I want to do that's crawl related is watch other people play.

Also it turns out I am terrible at Crawl, so, you know, no great loss. :D

Re: Crawl "Sudden Death" Challenges Season 2 - SIGNUPS CLOSE

After playoffs, are you putting in a break and then perhaps another one of these? Man, I have had fun with this.

Also, how do you determine skill for division?

What are the cut points?

Nah I used a similar method as in Season 1, and I'm afraid it's not very scientific. It's a combination of wins, win rate, and average score. I used performance in Season 1 as well, when I needed more information.

I tried to group all similar players together as much as I could, though of course there is likely overlap between the lower Div 1 and upper Div 2 players, and same for Div 2 and 3. So that's why I'm asking, if you think you should be higher or lower, let me know, because there is room to flex players around who were on the border.

Yeah, I'll probably take a few weeks after this season's playoffs finish to tweak around the rules again and then open Season 3 signups. Participation has been dropping steadily all season, but we still have way more people playing than I originally thought would join. And I'm willing to keep running it as long as there are enough people interested. :)

I'm interested in joining season 3. I'm not that good, but it should be fun :D

I really didn't want to play the KoHe, but I'm trying the last one now. I'll probably play the next season depending when it is, might be travelling.
