      IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540    | Guardians, This IA is to alert you to a VERY IMPORTANT CHANGE to the way that the Olympic Winners will be decided. You MUST read and understand the following - our Winning Title DEPENDS on it! TBE haven't managed to fill all their sign ups... if we used the method that we have previously used for colllecting exps (ie: add all the exps together from each competitor of each skill), then they would be at a disadvantage... Example: There could be 5 Fishers signed up for WG, but only 3 for TBE... this as you can probably see, puts TBE at a massive disadvantage. SO: The New System: For each skill where either WG or TBE do NOT have 5 competitors, we will be taking the AVERAGE EXP GAIN of the entire team for that skill. Example:
So that is the New System. This is only for the Skills where either or both clans do not have 5 Competitors! As such it will only be the case on the FOLLOWING SKILLS:
BUT - What if a Member gets a very low amount of exp... for example 10,000 Exp... that brings the whole average down!! Right?? WRONG... Explanation: Pugsi (TBE Event Coord), and the WG Skills Olympic Staff will be introducing a set of Tiers....so that if a Member does not gain over a certain amount of EXP during the week, his final EXP will NOT be counted towards the Exp Gain. The tiers will be posted by the second day of the Olympics at the very latest. What does this mean for me? It means you cannot afford to be inactive. We must all do our very very best...although obviously some inactive periods are unavoidable. Do your best that's all i'm asking  If you have any questions please post them here. GUARDIANS. PREPARE FOR GLORY!!!!! ~George  --------------------    | ||||

Or am I understanding this wrong? and.....if you are barely above the tier, you bring the average down? --------------------  | ||||

Possibly that would cause our numbers to be more closely matched to theirs and would also maximize our xp in that skill? -------------------- | ||||

 IRC Nickname: [JC] Group: Emeritus Posts: 3320 Member No.: 23 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 147 | Yeah, I'm sorry George but this really won't work. I was going to do "my little bit" in farming since the team wasn't full, but now if I get 20-50k Xp (okay it'll probably be more, but I'm going to work off a worst case scenario) I'm going to be dragging the rest of the team down. This seems to be focusing on who will win/loose rather than just encouraging people to skill. --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | Why did we have a raid last night? I have time to skill for this, but if I get pulled away to raid I won't have skilling time. Some of us have limited times. I only signed up for one skill because of this. I was under the impression that our raids were going to be very limited during the skill Olympics . . .

I don't think anyone will think poorly of you if you were to miss any raids while this is happening. Many of us would love more raids to get a break from the constant training... (I am stuck in a boring one. :S) --------------------  | ||||
