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.

1. yes.

2. I can imagine that people would have different motivations for wishing to pull out, just like people have different motivations for entering. the latter definitely had occurred to me.

1. Er... sorry, I guess my question was unclear. I was asking which of those three were what you meant by "an announcement" -- (a) a separate post to UA warning people before the deadline that placings might be reduced because of low participation, (b) a recurring note present on contest writeups, or (c) a note present on the voting post after the contest has been closed up. Or (d) all of the above?

2. Okay. It's just... as a mod, I don't really want people pulling their entries from a contest at all, least of all from a low-participation one. I'd rather address anonymity concerns or whatever other concerns people have that would make them WANT to retract their entry from a contest in the first place.

1. Apologies. I'm thinking in terms of A, but it's not really that important beside having the option.

2. I understand that. I believe I have stated in the past in a screened entry on why that is an issue, and while I understand that as a mod you don't want people to pull out of low-participation games, I can say that due to the specific situation that I can foresee happening again, as a player I would refrain from participating any contests without at least 3 other participants already confirmed in it. If my team were bigger I'd love to participate for the sake of it, but as it is I feel that I can't afford to mess up.
