I say make it a 24 hour round and immune 1 character and boot one character based on their votes. That way the game is longer, more interesting and gives us enough time to vote and kills time while we wait for MKD

~Crow~ Wrote: oafatron83 Wrote: Yeah I like the idea of the 24 hour game, It could be a mixture of the normal and final rounds like he says the person with the most boots at the end of the 24 hour/ or until all registered users have voted, is the official bootee and the one with the highest amount of immunes is immuned. This should allow the game to last longer too because after this grand championship what's next? Re-start of the whole boot and immune tournament again? After the grand championship is over, the winner sits out the next games completely, until sixteen more fighters have won. Then those sixteen join the defending champion in another grand championship. If you read tgrant's post on the first page, you can find a more detailed description of what will be taking place after this has been completed. As for the 24-hour idea... it shows some promise. However, being that the round will last that long, I don't see the harm in booting the two characters who receive the most boot votes... as well as immuning the two characters who receive the greatest number of immune votes. So it should look something like this: Round 1: 16 fighters remain Round 2: 14 fighters remain Round 3: 12 fighters remain Round 4: 10 fighters remain Round 5: 8 fighters remain Round 6: 6 fighters remain Round 7 would then consist of those four fighters remaining. The person with the most immune votes would be safe for round 8, and the person with the largest number of boot votes would be finished. Round 8 would then consist of two characters facing off against each other, with the winner facing the person who was immuned in the previous round. Thus: Round 9: A match between the two remaining characters, lasting 24 hours as well.

Excellent idea Crow. I don't see the Grand Championship turning out better any other way.

In the event of a tie, we can just use the standard Boot and Immune rule that already exists; the next vote decides it. Once the 24-hour mark has been reached, the first person to vote, should there be a tie, will decide the outcome.

And also we can do after 10 or 15 votes there's an update with the updated boot/immune stats.

Since you's kicked off Noob, ill punish you all and vote for Liu Kang!

If it's gonna be updated peopel won't be able to chaneg their votes.

I'm thinking oafatron was referring to doing an update just to show how many votes the characters have at the moment, so people will know if a tie is close or not.

Again, I just feel brackets would damage what Boot and Immune is, which is something more than a standard favorite character contest.

I thought I read a little while ago that someone had an idea to raise the number vote to boot/immune someone to 20. I for one would like to have this happen for the championship, and the number of votes per round raised to 20, also...

I agree with Bloodline, I love bracket. It's the final tournament I think we should do something special. The boot and immune game is mostly to eliminate quickly unliked characters like Meat, but for the final tournament it's a little bit the 'elite' so I don,t think that the boot and immune rules should apply.

However I would do it: 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15 and so on, to be fair for the characters who were immuned first. I agree with Bloodline, I think we should do a vote on the subject. I think that one round should last 2 days(48 hours)and the characters who have the more votes at the end pass to the next round. just my 2 cents, I think we should vote

I think they said 20 votes per round and 10 votes to boot/immune someone.

Well what do you all want to do? We can always vote on whether we want a bracket, 24 hour rule, or 20 vote rule...

I'd kinda like to see what Crow and tgrant have to say about a vote first before we actually have one though.

I want a tournament, but it would be cool as well if someone do something more official like danadab did.

Maybe a bracket with all the pictures of the characters

I just don't want this to become a carbon copy of GameFAQ's character battle... and that's exactly what it will be if we do it this way...

If tgrant wants to hold a vote on this matter, then so be it... I just feel we need to keep this game original in style and feel, rather than using standard brackets like almost all other contests do.

I agree with Crow again. I just think the Boot and Immune game is too original to resort to using a bracket. Our system has worked great so far, and the strategy behind it is what makes it much more compelling than your standard "vote for the winner" tournaments.

I changed my mind. I agree with Crow. After all this is Boot and Immune.

First of all, NO BRACKETS. It's not boot and immune any more if there are brackets.

Secondly, I don't like the idea of 24 hour rounds where the person with the most boots is voted off. I think, again, this is too much of a departure from Boot and Immune.

Third, I think Crow's first suggested idea of 20 votes to boot or immune someone should most likely be done. This way, there's much less of a chance of going to bed and finding your favorite character has been booted over night.

Now that leaves us with how long the rounds should be. We could say 24 hours, but then a character immuned early one day will essentially stay immune for two entire days... Even though that's still less than two rounds, I'm not sure how well it'll work out. Also, 24-hour rounds means a DAMNED long game... I think it'll drag after a while.

I'd say the pattern before was the votes to end a round was about twice as many as needed to boot a character. We could therefore either do 20 to boot/immune and 40 to end a round, or perhaps a bit shorter 15 to boot immune and 30 to end a round.

My vote goes to Mileena.

I think that holding a vote on the subject would be a good idea, personnally I prefer a tournament, but I would have no problem if we keep it a boot and immune.

But I'm just scared that if we keep it boot and immune some people would boot the favorites early only to give their personal favorite weaker competition(like Tsung and Mileena). In a tournament(I think) that you will vote only for the one you prefer between the 2 and be less strategic.

I think RasAlGhul has a point here.

Twenty minutes left. Looks like Mileena wins this one.

24 Hours have passed... Mileena Wins... We shall start the championship game at dawn...

This is exactly what I mean, though. This is Boot and Immune, and I wouldn't want to change the system. The strategy of booting strong characters, while I disagree with doing it, is a very large part of this game. Boot and Immune became successful and interesting because of this. I feel we should respect what brought this game to where it is, and keep similar Boot and Immune rules for the grand championship.

Amen to that. Good night.

That fact makes me want the bracket system.
