Game of the tournament reward?

  • Quote

Post by charlemango »

What if we had a special prize pool for brilliant individual games? Some ideas:

Game of the tournament
Best rush
Best comeback victory
Best turtle

If the tournament admins think this is a good idea, I'm willing to seed the prize pool with $50. I bet a video compilation of best games would get a lot of views on youtube.

Who would decide it? Admins? The prize donor? Community vote?

Great idea! It might need some time to compile the videos, but I can see a lot of entertaining moments there. Maybe solely from RO32 games and higher

I agree with @Garja, a pre-picked group of users would be best. Not likely that a single person will watch every game. A community-wide poll has lots of problems, such as people using multiple accounts to vote.

We could also have some fun facts, like longest and shortest game, the least and most played MU etc

IMO a group of people should pick 5 games and let the community vote

How about only players in the tournament can vote?

Given a community-based vote, Garja would be the clear winner in all categories (see all breeze polls)

Is that not easily resolved? Accounts with less than X posts and/or younger than Y months cannot vote. If verifying that through a forum poll is too cumbersome, people can just vote with a post with a number from 1 to n, where n is the number of candidate games.
Pay more attention to detail.

Works great the first time, but if ESOC starts using this strategy repeatedly, people could start building up alter-ego accounts for the purpose of influencing such a vote.

@musketeer925 Would you be okay with only letting tournament participants vote? It would be a reward for every player. Even when you don't win, you still get something. Or would it be too exclusive?
