OSM WC 2018 Edition

MenagerBL

Before I write few things I must say I won't aprove some changes because my ass is safe. I would write the same if i had 50.000 or 100.000 MP's. With 34k you have to admit I'm not out of the race, and tbh I'don't care for this competition anymore. Before 3-4 years it was a big deal for me, but after I saw all the things in last few years now a regular league on my main account is more important to me. I played in 3 OSM WC leagues, so my goal to participate in the WC is achieved.

Reasons for reducing the number of participiants:
Organizer is bothered to put few more hours out of 365 days in checking some accounts. What an explanation. Other guys don't have real life. Just the organizer.
If he is cheerful - you will participate, if not - bad luck for you, wait 1 more year for a new chance.
Mate if u don't have time then retire, go have some cold beer on the beach, leave this crap...or guess what? Find 1 or 2 guys to help you. Simple as that.
Game with more than 5.000.000 (active players) potential participiants depends on 1 guy. This is one heck of a story! lol
Other reason: MAYBE a higher competitive level...MAYBE...and less problems.
How that? I saw ''problems'' appearead 3 times in the FINAL and that's a locig thing because everyone wants to be the WorldChampion. So doesen't matter if you have 800 participiants or 50 if a problem appear it will probably appear in a final of 12 players.

Becuase one reason or another in the last years there were just issues and controversy about the WC. I'm wondering there are still people who are much interested in this competition...

GOOD LUCK TO ALL PARTICIPIANTS! You will need strong nerves.

Don't forget when the qualification period was changed... And we all see so much complainings and disagree about that. After that, nobody talks about it.

Maybe if OSM WC 2019 has 144 places again, nobody complain with that. I don't know if i will organize it but, when 2018 edition reach the end i'm open to listen suggestions about minor or major changes to improve the competition

PS: I'm an old & hardcore user too!

@markez17 I agree with all of you up to some extent. First of all, I know that you are busy and this must surely be a hard task to deal with such an extent number of players, leagues, etc. The best would be to share the task with some more mods, mainly from other nationalities so that problems can be solved more easily. Neither everybody speaks English, nor yours is perfect (I hope you dont mind me telling you so). From my experience many managers use the translators devices available on the internet and if there are mistakes the translator doesnt work properly and it may lead to misunderstandings. Hence, although it is not my task I offer to help you with English so that you can communicate exactly what you really intend to say.

I understand other managers who feel fooled or deceived for the change in the ratio and now feel excluded from their dreams. There are many who have truly fought until the very last moment to reach the magical 30k points which would thus have taken them to their long-awaited WC. Speaking of fairness at this point seems to be out of any reason. I agree with you, Markez, in the sense that this task really may get to be out of your control if you accept more people than you can afford. However, accepting 192 is manageable if you then reduce the number of contestants per league who go into the following round. Anyway, the organizer is the one who sets the rules so you have my firm support at this point.

For successive years I would be clearer in advance. I would open a round for suggestions at the end of this WC so that as many ideas as possible would be brainstormed. Feel free to put the limits at any moment of the period but in case it were possible, tell the sooner the possible.

Thank you

I read of course all your messages but sorry, it's always the same thing and my response is similar always... I understand you all about your position and viewpoint, some things are more or less logical and others are only lack of information about how others editions worked!
It's funny to talk about compare OSM WC and Russia WC... Russia WC doesn't have a lot of cheaters!

When i made first topic post (November '17) i was sure that i will set OSM WC 2018 places number when i got the provisional WC list. You can give thanks to all users that can't respect OSM rules but i'm sure that you all are happier users if you come to a public topic and talk about a bad organization.

Maybe you all can try to organize WC 2019, i have pairs of boot for everyone that wants to put in my situation! Until then, i will continue sending invitations to those users that get a place.

Mate, don't get confused about the fear of a ban with a lack of complaining.
Where a ban means a goodbye to the WC.

From Wednesday until today, i have been done the followings things about OSM WC:

Teams updated.
All 144 users got an invitation, around 110 already reply and all of them accept it!
Preparing everything about 1st round stage.
Lock some cheaters accounts found during WC list checking.

Maybe today i will send messages to some users that got a reserve place. If i still have free time, i will continue punishing some cheaters!

@Markez17 is there no one can help you between CMs?

Why this question now? The most difficult thing is already done, i made the work that i planned to have on 22/06 in three days more or less. Now i have five "free" days

Thank you for take care of me but i'm fine!

I talk just about "the most difficult thing". The previous EM simply asked for a help from CMs and every year there was a team of 3-4 guys who did this hard work.
In this way, his life was "saved", as number of partecipants.

BTW, was only a curiosity.

May be a great competition!

Good luck all!!

20 qualified managers didn't give reply yet. (Deadline - Wednesday 27th)
22 of 26 reserves already replied me and are agree to be part of this WC edition if finally they got a free place.
I'm thinking about send 5-10 more PM to the next reserves in the list.

I will public 1st stage groups next Thursday, 28th June and don't forget that we need at least 12 potential moderators to send invitations the day that leagues will be created.
Without moderators, we can't play this competition so feel free to send me a private message and let me know if you can help to make it possible as soon as possible

No league moderator before 2nd July = League deleted and all 12 managers will be disqualified!

WHAT HAPPEN NOW?

Between today and tomorrow, I will send one PM to each participant with his/her group information and 1st stage beggining date, have a free slot 2nd July as maximum, etc.

Each league moderator will receive another message about slot that they will use to play the league, team that they want to have and other useful data about their duty!

Don't forget that:

We have some subs and they will replace someone that don't enter in the league after 48 hours.
If you received some days ago the message to be part of WC 2018 and you didn't response, you lose your place! You can answer it now and if you was in the 144 first, I can accept you as reserve but all subs that we already have will go before you.

I'm working in WC during this week and prepare everything to not have any problem... I hope it deserves and you all make me happy!
Now prepare your mind to play and try to be the OSM manager

Hi @Markez17

Thnx for the PM but I have a question and I'll write here:

Normally, league will be created during morning. Don't worry about it, as soon as leagues are created, i will let you know

Lirind

@markez17 no I'm not worrying for that. On Tuesday I have two exams and for this I asked for the time.

Markez17

@motanelu said in OSM WC 2018 Edition:

Info about teams ?
Can you tell us the maximum and minimum score with which the managers have qualified ? even if they do not participate

Same team that we got last edition.
No, at the moment i can't.
