My Eye of Judgment Community

I hope everyone in the United States had a safe and fun 4th of July holiday. I sure did.

I sent in some suggestions to Sony for the tournament, they’ll be in touch about getting the detailed firmed up.

This is looking to be an exciting tournament! Leave a comment if you are planning on taking apart of it.

If you read the post right below this one, you’ll know Sony is holding a North American tournament and they want YOUR input. So email (see the about page for contact info) or comment below and we’ll send them off to Sony tomorrow.

I just got word from a Sony spokesman that they are in the process of setting up a tournament for the North American players. The best part? They want the community to help decide the rules and regulations. Here is part of the email we received that will help you generate suggestions. When you do have something you want Sony to notice, comment in this post and I’ll send each comment directly to Sony for consideration. –

Sony: Starting today, we would love to get your ideas and input!  What are your ideas on how the tournament should be set up?  What should we call it?  What should the special ranking be?  We will take the best ideas and make it happen in July, and continue to use your suggestions in future tournaments!

Below are the limitations we can set for each tournament currently as well as some FAQ.  Base your suggestions off of this information.  Let us know if you have any questions.

We are looking forward to hearing from all of you!

FAQ

1.  Can players play as many matches as they are able to during the tournament to win?

Yes, they can.

2.  Is there a limit on the number of matches they can participate in?

No, they can participate in any matches as far as time permits / they can find someone to play with.

3.  It seems that the players with the most free time to play will be the winners, is that the case?

No, the way of gaining high/low rank through the games is structured as below.

Example situation:

Rank 1: player A
—
Rank 5: player B
—
Rank 20: player C

1) If player C wins player A, player C’s rank gets higher at once since C can win the higher player.
2) If player A loses player C, player A’s rank gets down at once since A loses the lower player.
3) If player C wins player B, player C’s rank gets high but not as high as 1)’s case since B’s rank is lower than A’s.

The logic is that depending on the opponent’s rank, the range of getting/losing rank will be different. Therefore no matter how much the players who have the most free time play, we can’t tell that these people will be the winners. If someone can keep winning, then it will be possible to be a winner, but JP PD team said that it would be very difficult to keep winning.

4)  Will we be able to offer special ranking titles to our winners?

Yes.

* The character limit for rank titles is 18 characters.
* Also, you can set up to 2 ranking titles at this time.

We just got a suprise email from Sony today with good news! You’ll notice we added an entire new tab to our navigation bar - a GLOSSARY of all the EoJ Terms. Sony was kind enough to pass along all the offcial documentation with all the current, up-to-date rules. Enjoy!

“Famous last words,” is what you are saying, right? We hope to prove you wrong.

The reason being for the lack of care and attention is because of priorites. Everyone has them in life and they constantly need to be adjusted. Since summer began for me in May, my priority has been to find a steady job. I am happy to say that I have found one that I love and I am quite happy. However, that let duties for My Eye of Judgment slide due to my excitement and new work load. That is not what slowed down the posts. Not having a plan did.

Starting now, posts will remain less frequent (as you already know) but expect a weekly update of things that I find around the net about EoJ. I also hope to find SonicKaos in the process as we have lost touch with our busy work schedules. Behind the scenes, I am working to form partnerships to strenghten the EoJ community. There is much to be excited about even.

Groovester out.
