Board 8 > SC2k11 Oracle Challenge - Preliminary Topic and Team Sign-up Topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

From: ShatteredElysium | #135
We used Brain Freeze the last time we teamed up because you were tired of the old name. I just don't think the Oracle website reflected the fact. I seem to remember either the update script and the team rankings showing 2 different names for us anyway.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Well anyway, you can decide.

A winner is Black Turtle.

Nee before I accept you as a teammate:

Are you willing and able to predict every match until we reach such a point where we are so far back that neither of us care?

Yes, I will do my absolute best until I have made so many mistakes that I just look like a pathetic weakling.

Hopefully I can be on the leaderboard for the first couple weeks like usual, then slowly fall down through the standings like usual.

--
ONLY FIVE CAN LADDER.
Sushi, kamikaze, fujiyama, nippon-ichi...

So how does this work anyways?

Do we come up with team predictions or are we just using our solo ones?

I'll take Leon if he hasn't confirmed with anyone else and is cool with it. Or Kleenex, but he said he probably wouldn't go if Janus weren't around.

--
I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway, right now, do you care if I praise Black Turtle?
Call me numbers.

Oh, I guess Leon is with ngirl? i just checked the list, didn't see that on page 2. Oh well, whatever.

You predict as if you were solo, but the team score is a combination of yours and your partner. You are also competing in the solo oracle at the same time.

So just make one prediction per match for yourself. It'll automatically get used in the solo and team scores.

Connecticut Huskies

numbers I will partner with you of Janus doesn't show up.

I should probably send him a PM, I guess.

Yes, this sounds fantastic. I suppose we should think of a name, then!

I have a soft spot for my team name last year of "Percentile Dysfunction" but imo an ORIGINAL NAME is a better way to go since we are a TEAM OF NEWNESS.

Call me numbers.

Nice to see our contest back again! Victory is inevitable. Why are the rest of you even trying...? :P

On any new rules, in the past the Oracle has always been open to whoever, whenever, including mid-contest. I don't think changing that is a good idea.

I think you're confusing TEAM sign-up with oracle sign-up >_> There has never been and there will never be "oracle signup" topic because as you said, the individual oracle challenge is always open to anyone at any time as usual. Just make a prediction in the prediction topic and bam you're in.

Team challenge is different though due to its nature. We don't want people start picking the guys at the top to be their teammate mid-contest, right? :P

We do have a new rule this year though: No editing post in the prediction topic, ever! What do you think about that?

Ah OK, my bad :) So I guess no free agents just meant no "randomize me" requests?

Yes, this new editing features can be troubling. Is there a way to detect editing?

It should be possible, because you will see the text "(edited)" right after the "quote" link.

Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ!

I feel like we should have an FFX based name, Ultima.

How about "Team Aurochs"?

Good to see that Palace of Wisdom is going strong again!

This is our year!

Team Aurochs is fine. I like the idea of a FFX based name as a reminder of the good old times on the FFX General.

Hey, Leonhart. Be on my team. Individually, we are rivals, but working together we could dominate the earth.

Or... or... I suppose I could settle for this "Haste2" fellow if you're tempted by the offer of Ngirl or any of these other lesser beings.

No problem!

We could be the Mario/Sonic of the Oracle...!

This is certainly a tempting offer.

i will request "linkhatesganon" as a teammate. I like the cut of his jib.

Yay - Black Turtle is the guru champion of awesomeness.

Sadly excited for this!

Only thing about the contest that actually still excites me.

i guess i'm looking for a teammate

preferably someone good

I suggest ~Dante x Squall forever~

Okay, okay, fine.

~Sephiroth x Squall forever~ if you must.

... what. No good? Fine, let me think a bit as well.

Preferably a name with as few yaoi connotations as possible, please.

"Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?"
"I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!"

Oh okay. How about ~Dante x Squall forever... in a purely platonic fashion. Cause the x is for extreme, you see~

That should clear it up.
