My suggestion: Make it a ONE RP on Day of event. No three hour shit, no two RPs, that's hax. One RP is allowed on Sunday / Monday (Slam) and that's it. Pretty sure there's been at least one time where I was completely unable to write anything until the day of the show. |

Yeah, and you can put up one RP. lol. I'm in the same boat, there is a lot of times I don't write the matches until the day of the show too. Sometimes, I put up my RP on that day too, but it's just my suggestion. It's not like it will be changed, as long as there is one person that Seth knows who will Rp more than once on Sunday, then Seth won't change the rule.

Why don't you just space your roleplays out during the week so there's no rushing or anything for anyone?

Trent, are you directing your post at my problem or something someone else said in the thread?

I was just making an over all statement.

I don't advocate changing the rule at the present time, but this incident epitomizes why it's important to familiarize oneself with the rules.

No, it doesn't epitomize it at all. I have shown a situation where the rule can hinder someone. The situation I had is NOT the reason the rule was created, but is still affected by it anyway.
Half the people in the federation are here for competitive reasons and this hinders competition. I'll say it again that I do NOT want the rule taken away, but an exception made for when you write a roleplay that is a RESPONSE to one someone else did on the last day.

Alright. If you do one, and your opponent does one, ON THE LAST DAY, then you should NOT have a chance within 3 hours. Your opponent simply out-foxed you. It'll happen.

CD is correct. If you wait until 90 minutes before the deadline to post your first RP then it's your opponent's prerogative to sneak one in before the deadline, and it's your fault for procrastinating. I'm not sure why an exception should be made to accommodate for such circumstances.

Alright. If you do one, and your opponent does one, ON THE LAST DAY, then you should NOT have a chance within 3 hours. Your opponent simply out-foxed you. It'll happen. How is that out-foxing your opponent? It's not like you tricked them by replying to their previous roleplay before the three hour time limit had expired. CD is correct. If you wait until 90 minutes before the deadline to post your first RP then it's your opponent's prerogative to sneak one in before the deadline, and it's your fault for procrastinating. I'm not sure why an exception should be made to accommodate for such circumstances. lol you guys are taking this situation way too literal and that's shown by you saying 90 minutes before and first rp for a match in your post. First of all, this situation could happen at 8am in the morning, it's bogus that if my opponent responds at 9am that I should have to wait until 11am to respond to their roleplay. I should be able to do it when I have time. It's not like I'm doing multiple roleplays one right after the other with no chance for my opponent to respond. Second, what if I had done a roleplay on Tuesday and then had this same situation pop up? I still would be in the same boat. Plus, the rules say 2 RPs for Slam but that doesn't say your first two, it's your best 2. That's what the rule says. But if we go by the rule for the last day, then that goes against the two RPs per Slam and you can't count that roleplay. The rule hinders it no matter if I post my roleplay at 12:01 the day of the show or three hours before the deadline. And again this doesn't matter how many roleplays I have done during the week before the last day. My best count, not my first ones. |

Oh and at this point, I know the rule won't get changed in the form of an exception added. Seth had said in our email exchange to post in the feedback board about it so he could see what people thought and I see that enough people do not want the rule changed so it won't be. I am fine with that, even though I still disagree.
I can tell that a few of the people who outright disagree are just simply thinking in their mind "oh well Hector didn't write any roleplays that week and he waited until X time on the last day."
That's not the problem here at all and I have shown how it can be looked at differently. Sorry if I have come across as an ass to anyone in this thread, I just feel really strongly about my argument being right.

Out foxed because you didn't get a chance to throw a rebuttal in there.

The point is, only post the RPs within three hours a part. Even if it's a reply. I get what you're saying Hector, but to me it doesn't happen too often, and a lot of people Rp when they have time. I love the Rps that go back and forth but if you have to RP twice before your opponent does so, then so be it. Study his character, reply to what he's said in the past to other competitors and move on.
If he replies to one on the day of the event, post your RP later if you have time, if not, oh well. Not everyone gets the last laugh.
