| i will have to go with Bazalonia because of the tie breaker procedure |
| Posted by: Lamoni Jul 9 2007, 12:42 AM |
| Normally, I would vote for Bazalonia, but this time I will vote for Az-cz since he hasn't hosted an AOCAF yet while Baz has. |

| Wow, this is going to be tight.... |
| Posted by: Bazalonia Jul 9 2007, 08:35 PM |
| I'm going to have to withdraw... As I posted in the WCDT this Saturday Morning (Aussie Time) I'm going upto Queensland and as such can't be certain of net access... As a result, I have no choice.... but to withdraw my Bid at this stage... |

| If that's the case I'm going to go ahead and run AOCAF XX? Is that ok with everyone. If so could someone update the rankings? |
| Posted by: Lamoni Jul 12 2007, 01:35 AM |
| Ask Star or Vil for that. Those are the ones that normally do the rankings. |

| Veeeeeeelita. |
| Posted by: Lamoni Jul 15 2007, 03:23 AM |
| Yeah, if you ask Vil nicely enough, he might even DO it. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Jul 15 2007, 05:59 AM |
| I don't even have the rankings sheet any more, let alone an up-to-date version. |
| Posted by: Az-cz Jul 16 2007, 10:13 AM |
| Well if he doesn't do it soon, I'll also have to beg off hosting duties. If I can't get it started soon enough to get the finals finished by the end of July then I can't do it. |

| If you have AIM, he is Vilita nS. If you have MSN messenger, it's x3widracin@3wide.com . |

| Seeing as I still don't have the current rankings in a form that I can use, I will have to defer hosting for now. If someone wants to host instead they can do so or if you're willing wait till after the next WC I'd be willing to host then. |

| Man that was so funny! :D I just voted Baz then saw he'd withdrawn. I'm perfectly happy with the alternative though, so hopefully we can get the ball rolling soon. |

| Actually, both of them have withdrawn. There was a vote in May (I believe) to delay the next AOCAF until after World Cup 36, and... that... is... still... going... on (yawning as I type that). So, we now have an event with no host, and we can't have an event without a host. If someone comes in and says 'hey! I'll host and let's just start AOCAF right now!,' they'll get a lambasting from the die-hard RPers that've already complained they don't have time and/or energy to write RPs for both events. |

I think you'll find the die-hard RPers don't mind that situation. It never bothered me when the WC and AOCAF were run simultaneously. Its the people who don't want to RP both at once who'll complain. |

| All we need is a host, and updated rankings from Vil that would be easier to get from a statue. |
| Posted by: Commerce Heights Aug 8 2007, 02:07 PM |
| How about we use a different ranking system (e.g., the KPB ranking system with the last three AOCAFs rather than the WC, CoH, and BoF), so that we don’t need Vil to update the rankings? |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Aug 8 2007, 05:12 PM |
| Because Vil wouldn't be #1 and Baz might be quite good? Plus Lamoni, Pac, etc who dont have KPB ranks might never get to the top? |
| Posted by: 95X-Scottfire Aug 8 2007, 11:50 PM |
| I think the idea (dunno if CH's edit was adding using AOCAF stats vs. WC) was to simply use the formula for a different ranking system. |
| Posted by: Commerce Heights Aug 9 2007, 01:19 AM | ||
As Scottfire said, I didn’t mean that the results of the World Cup would affect the AOCAF rankings, just that the same formula could be used. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Aug 9 2007, 01:31 AM |
| Ahhhh, ok then. |
| Posted by: Lamoni Aug 9 2007, 01:54 AM |
| *whew* You had me scared for a moment, CH. |
| Posted by: Az-cz Aug 13 2007, 07:17 PM |
| They should affect the results. The KpBs should be the CoH or BoF and count as a lower rate. But they should count. They always have in the past. And IC it makes more sense to do so. |
