elma golden league / olympics

Post by onlainari »

idea is that instead of World cup we could have olympics in elma. Not like this topic http://moposite.com/mopolauta/viewtopic.php?t=77 ,but a competition that would maybe last 1 month.

Schedule could look like this:

- 4 one week events like in Wcup.

- 2 15min battles / week = 8 short battles

- 2 30min battles / week = 8 longer battles

- a maraton battle = 24h

- + contests like in that topic linked above (Like a long jumping contest in battle format, you have only 1h to battle the biggest jump or longest brutal volt etc)

- level designing contests

- etc.

The schedule might look tight if it was just 1 month olympics, but however if battles are scheduled in a row, like 1 short + 1 long are in a row in the same day etc. And you don't have to take part in all sports of course.

To make this funky and interesting the olympics should have nice looking own page etc and counters to next olympic event etc.

There was a topic about having battle world cup ,where there was an event every sunday,but i think this could be better.


- only problem is that we should have it at a month where everyone is able to take part

I'm all for this idea. I think it's been suggested before, without anyone really noticing.

I suppose the summer is the best time to arrange it then. Which means that we have to plan it quickly.

I don't think this should be held _instead_ of wcup but as a contest of its own. Don't break the old traditions but make some good new there beside.

I totally agree with this. End of August/beggining of September would be the best occasiona to hold this competition I think.

I think it's a great idea that mixes all of the elma playing talents (not only hoyling but also making good times in a limited period of time).
but i think there is a problem with battles as not all of the ppl can get connected at the right hours and participate this, not as in normal wcup events that they dl lev and send rec in their free time.
anyway, this will be very great instead of wcup next year. :wink:

We could just draw the starting times of the battles so they would be equal for everybody.

Ok this idea sounds great here but the battles will make it quite compicated. There isn't always time JUST when the battle is held, because elma ain't our life there might be some other things too. And if you really wanna succeed in this tournament it is possible that elma will really mess up your life..what about waking 5.00 at morning to play some nice 15min battles. And when you look at mopobattles there is usually around 30 players, maybe this could draw some more ..50? That is still lot less than wcup which had over 100 few times.
So I think there isn't any change this would take up wcup, but still a nice compo 8)

This is a good idea, but I dont like the idea of 24h maraton battle. Way too long...

I know. But you have to play pretty much to get a good result I guess.

there is also a huge problem with timezones as it's impossible to decide about a time that will be good for Europe, America and Australia too.

but if you wanna make it real olympics, you don't have to participate in everything, I think. let's say you have a certain numper of parts, 1 for battling 15 mins, 1 part for battling 30 mins, maybe so on, and then 1 part for level designing with theme, 1 part for 24H TT, then couple of more parts what has to do with elma, if you part these, you can have more winners or with one 'let's cal it medal' or two of them. We could also make up country teams, so that a country wins, or like that you have Teams.
If you make such teams, you do have to succeed a couple of conditions, so you can mix up good teams. or just maybe not, ah well never mind...
I can't recall what I had in mind. :roll:

just we have to make this rolling before vacation end, you know.
It is cool idea, but we need to organise this, b/c else this gets forgotten yadda yadda... blablabla 8O what am I talking about?

it is a nice idea
but it should be done in a difrent way .
like 13 regular wcup levels, 6 battles, +4 levels like longest jump longest brutal and pipe level.

if you will do it like onlainari said it wont be a world cup anymore...
just some strange battles cup or somthing like that...
what i mean is that the regolar levels should be like 70% of the contest
and not 20% like in onlainaris plan.

Instead of World Cup, so you battle in weekly levels, we could have elma olympics, like that you have more then one goal. people who like to hoyl, go play levels, people who prefer the more creative part, level designing, go do the level design part. so you have slightly more chance to win something if you have a couple of week points, but also strong points.
it brings another dimension to the elma scene.

whatever ppl, dont take it so harshly. It wasn't my best verbal expression there. But I guess I meant that next big event in elma could be this olympics and not the traditioanl wcup. So we would arrange this event in between the world cups. The world cups have been like once a year or every other year so....Or if moposite arranged this event, then it could kinda replace the 5th wcup in the schedule, but still we would call the next actual wcup as wcup5 or something.... peace.
