TWGC Gameplay Discussion

I like the idea in general, i really do, however it would have been a lot more interesting if this could be done at the level of an org. Now i have a large portion of my fighters wanting to leave to compete here instead and worse of all this will take some time to be completed. Something how K-1 works we could do the Grappling as well.

Bitch, bitch, complain, moan, grumble.... OK now on to serious comments....

 

I have not had anyone asking to take one of these things yet, but I kinda have to agree with Mentor here. At least to some extent. I do think it's kinda cool to have an Abu Dhabi style tournament thing, but I think it should be set up sorta like K-1. That said I am wondering is this a one off thing to feed the masses until a permanent option like K-1 gets set up or is this going to be like the QFC tournaments where they are constantly ongoing?

This guy is right on the money, why would we make BBJ different then the K-1? Why would we encourage fighters to leave orgs?

 

K-1 works well and BJJ should be set up the same allowing ppl to start grappling only orgs.

 

I am simply stating the facts. We should have MMA orgs, K-1 orgs and BJJ orgs. Why would it be any other way?

Look, I've said all along how it's working, you've know that the whole time, I'm not having whinging ruin the launch thread. I'm leaving this message up a while, then I'm deleting the complaining. Nobody's leaving an org, I don't want it in orgs for many reasons I've already explained. That's how it's going to work, so if you don't like it, that's too bad.

 

I will summarise quickly again why it is going to be this way - if you do it in orgs, not only will not many people bother with it because you have to have a submission grappling only fighter (not just enter a fighter that you have already), but having it global and not in an org makes it more of a community event. I want more of those things. Having it in orgs makes it insular and just slide under the radar just like KT does.

 

And in general, for God's sake, don't wait for launch threads to whinge about stuff. It gets to the end of let's say 4 months of developement on something, I go to announce it's open, then I get a page of complaining that should have either come right at the start of development, or not at all. It makes me not want to bother making any game improvements.

You don't get BJJ orgs IRL and it sounds pretty dumb. You get submission grappling events across the world but the likes of BJJ super events such as ADCC, they don't happen too often. In fact the real life ADCC happens only once every two years.

 

I think the idea of TWGC is great and it'll let us find out who is the best grapplers in MMA Tycoon.

Do we know how long this will run? I have already clicked the button to allow any fighters signed with me to do this but I just want to know how long it will last so I can make arrangements. Also will this be running every 4 months as said above? I like the idea of this and I am hoping the winner comes from my Org. :)

I need to see how many people are interested before I can say for sure how active / how often it will run. If you win the whole thing then that's gunna be a couple of weeks from start to finish as it is now but that's just because I've put a week break in the middle so people can travel. I want to do it with normal travel really, so that people fly in private jets.... If that's gunna cause too much of a problem then I will change it to teleport and we can get it finished a week quicker.

 

It'll be more often than every 4 month though, I think. I think we'll do a couple of weight classes, have a few weeks off, do a couple more weight classes etc, then go back to the start.

Just another quick message about what I'm more than happy to discuss;

 

Please don't confuse my annoyance with the "it should be in orgs" comments, with an unwillingness to discuss changes in general. I would be more than happy to change the prizemoney, the time between tournaments, travel arrangements, numbers of fighters per bracket, number that advance to the finals, hype and popularity gains etc... Anything that's nice and easy to change. Something like changing the entire format of the competition though, is not something I want to start discussing after 4 months of programming and development.

Sounds great man heck a couple of weeks shouldn't be a problem. The reason I asked for when it will start is because I just scheduled a few events and I have had three fighters already wanting to do this but they are scheduled for a fight and I wasn't sure how that would work. I am having every fighter in my Org that wants to do the TWGC let me know so I can put them on a list so I don't offer them a fight going forward until after this is done. I suggest Other Org will want to do the same so that way No one is left out that wants to compete.

I have a fighter I'd love to see compete in this so I'd be interested for sure.

 

My thoughts, 64 men making it 5 rounds. I also think the hype and popularity gains should be somewhat boosted compared to a regular or fight being a community style tournament. I'd prefer double elimination style brackets similar to the format most wrestling events use. Then you can place top 8.

 

As for prizes, I'm not a huge fan of just throwing more generated money into the economy. I'd prefer VIP for the top 2 and maybe donations of supps and custom clothing or something for 3-8 or less if its placed but I know you can't promise donations and custom gfx. Lol. So I'm sure someone could get a better idea for prizes.

I wouldn't have minded double elimination but it was just way too complicated to program so it's just single elimination with X number advancing to the finals (we can stop the brackets at any round we like to advance, 2, 4, 8 etc).

 

It's gunna be 4 cities of 16 per division first time around, so 64 per division, then 4 divisions running concurrently. There will be winner's t-shirts for the winners and trophies.
