X4: The draws

Why is everything in this turned into an epic?

Because PvP Drama is the best Drama.
The Golden Girls would like to take this moment to inform that we'd be happy with the decision of whoever would be fighting the space opera gets a pass. We're also quite happy if this debacle causes even more teams to back out.
Less competition and all that...
The Girls are waiting for you...

But all jokes asside would you not rather have the last posted tree from Cherry, than pass pass pass ?
Seriously speaking, Cherry's tree looks good to me.

Not trying to cause a minor panic here or anything, but I've just tried to copy the cameraman across to teh test server and i can't acess the copy tool at all, it's crashing out after I choose which server I want to copy from.
Can anyone get on or is it just me? Might wanna check before the event starts!!
We built this city on Rock and Roll!
Yup I tried it, and it's crashing for me too. Not good lol.
I petitioned it, this is the response:
Thank you for contacting the PlayNC Customer Support Team. Unfortunately, server transfers are currently not available. We apologise for any frustration or inconvenience this may cause.
I sure hope they can fix it tonight, haven't copied the characters yet and am getting slightly nervous now
Same here been trying all afternoon Cant believe it really they need to get fingers out and fix the stupid thing!!

It's the only way a Double Elim can be run with 5 teams.

I believe KS chose Double Elim because that was the system used with S4.
The other option is a Round Robin format. Every team plays the other teams once (over 5 rounds), then the two teams with the best records play the final. That's 11 played matches (as opposed to 8).

There was a complaint raised with me (by a member of your team), so I've redrawn it.

Given a choice. Would you like a Round Robin style event or like Double Elimanation system posted above ?

I take you mean the PM isent you that you have not responed to but infact if you look at the facts i sent you that PM before cherry even posted and it wasnt even about the tree it was the fact they had not responed to what was posted about a team pulling out, dont quote me with the wrong facts or do i need to take it higher than you?

No ones desputing GR is doing it in his own time, all im saying is do it properly or dont do it at all.
Think people need to take a deep breath or two and chill for a few minutes. This is suppose to be a bit of fun.
None of my team are on at the moment but personally I would like it finish in one night.

My apologies that I've apparently misunderstood your complaint. I've been away from work sick for the last couple of days and I'm currently in bed on my laptop helping KS consider the options available. However, since you've brought the PM to the public boards: Your message to me included a specific request for a redraw. As such, I have made a redraw.
As it stands, based on your request (and other comments in this thread) and the number of teams available, there are two options: Lightweight is run as Double Elim with the redraw I posted (the original draw is not valid with a team having completely resigned) or switch to a Round Robin format. The latter requires more matches to be played and will potentially take longer to complete, however it means that every team plays the same number of matches.
I'd also like to remind everyone that this is *not* an official event. I have volunteered my time to KS to act as impartial judge and to assist him with organisation. It is, however, very much a player run event and should be treated that way.
