2024 Game Match Review Tournament!!
Added 2025-02-06 16:41:33 +0000 UTCI'mma just let PizzaPony explain everything right here. You know the drill!
"It is time for the 3rd annual Year In Review & Match raocow Contest! The last 32 completed games are put up on a tournament bracket, and it is your challenge to make a prediction on each matchup, which game would raocow Subjectively choose was the funner / more liked game, in his opinion? The person who matches raocow's choices the closest will win being able to choose 3 games from BUCKET.txt to present raocow, of which he will pick 1 to Let's Play. If you match raocow 100%, it can be any 3 games.
When you make your predictions, make sure you EITHER make an account OR enter some name in the 'name this prediction' box that would be identifiable to you. Can't give a prize to anonymous!
You have until the end of Feb 14th to submit a prediction!

now speaking as myself, reminder that these are all 100% subjective my own opinions and tastes, and that further away in time we go, the least precise and more, ah, 'conceptual' my memory of games might end up being.
have fun though!
EDIT
The contest has changed! That's not true, it's the same, but the PRIZE has changed! There will now be THREE (3) winners, and these are the prizes:
top 3 winners
1st place - picks one game from my bucket
2nd place - picks three, I chose one
3rd place - sets up a poll using bucket entries
sorry about the change in the rules like that, but this is pretty much just a straight up upgrade, right ?
Comments
hey, a possible suggestion for these things going forward: I noticed the challonge rankings use "points", which weights predictions later in the bracket more heavily. for the raocow game prediction tournament thing, I feel like that means the more heavily-weighted things are the things that are more likely to be the coin-flippy ones (getting pizza tower vs stp correct was worth 5 points). I wonder if it would make more sense to rank someone's prediction by just the number of correct items in the bracket, so each spot in the bracket is equal. I know it's just for fun and it's all subjective and all, but overthinking/overengineering things like this seems in-character for raocow events :) but on the other hand, if you deliberately want predicting the grand finals etc to mean more because it's harder, or just because it's the grand finals, that also makes sense I dunno, just a thought!
