Game 3 Feedback - Part 3

[arivess.livejournal.com]

Part 3! Is... ultima_arena all by its lonesome self. I'm sorry, Tako and Xinn, I probably made more questions than you'd ever need the answers for. D:

Again, grading system for scales:

1 - CHANGE IT NOW CHANGE IT PLEASE
2 - There are some really, really big problems that need fixing like now
3-4 - There are some really big problems, but I'm not going to quit over them
5-6 - I don't really like it, but I can live with it
7-8 - There are some problems, but it's not too bad
9 - There really isn't anything wrong with it
10 - It's perfect, please don't change it!

Also, once again, textbox entry is 255 max, feel free to give me your answers, and mod contact will be up soon so you can ask the specific mods.

Regarding low-participation contests, I kind of think:

- If there are only 1 or 2 entries, it should be extended and bonus points awarded to those who submitted on time (how much, though, I have no idea)
- If there are only 3-5 entries, I think voting should be posted on time but
(1) the number of placings awarded is adjusted so that it's ≤ half the number of entries (no change from current rules)
(2) participation points are boosted (not sure by how much... maybe a function of how many placings were removed in (1)?)
(3) placing points are slightly reduced (again, not sure by how much) -- I think this is fair given that there is less competition and fewer placings, which means it's likely that non-participating teams will fall very behind if the placing points aren't toned down

Unrelated to low-participation contests, but relevant to UA: I just remembered community sticky posts were now possible (like the one Sai and I did for AL.) In the past the rules posts tend to get pushed back with new contests being added, but would it help you guys to make the rules post sticky so it's always the first thing people see in UA? That way people are less likely to miss out because the rules post was stuck somewhere two pages back due to new contests coming in. /random suggestion is random

Sure, I'll try that! :)
