Totallympics Suggestions and Problems Thread

I've allready told you. Let it go.

 

No official thread, no template, no nothing. Just a bunch of mods that make sure everything stays in place (more or less).

 

There is not a single exemple of a sucesfull forum anywhere on the internet that works the way you intend to. They let people having their own discussion the way they chose, they don't intend to have every discussions to stick in preconceived spaces. Fundementaly, they let the users to make the forum their own.

 

Your way doesn't work, it never will.

 

You could strike gold with this forum, but as long as you stick with this backward policy, it will never reach its potential. Every time, I'm loggin, I'm saddened that basically nothing is going on. You've put up a great tool. Now let people use it, they might surpise you.

 

Just quoting this and kicking this thread to the top so more users might bring in some suggestions. I'm on the verge of closing Totallympics and being done with it, when even a semi-critical/sarcastic post is deleted, a schedule can not and will not be allowed in an opening post (because heaven's forbid, someone looks at the schedule instead of clicks on the results portal).....

 

These North Korea-esque things make me stand at my desk sort of like this at the moment:

Totallympics is so awesome, but all this sort of dictatorship-like things suck so bad. Every single forum in the world is better in that part, whereas Totallympics beats every single (international) forum in the world when it's about the diversity of sports being discussed.

 

Ugh. For f*ck's sake.

People spend time and energies in the results forum, so I will not give up on this. If you are so against the results forum that you do not even want to click a button to open the link it doesn't mean nobody does it.

 

It is pretty much the only rule of the forum, few years ago the "rules" were much stricter. I am not even asking users to spend time and do the format by themselves, but just to leave the first post free and an admin will put the right format. From the second post on, you can post whatever you want.

Discussing the Tour de Ski is possible in two threads, much like the Four Hills Tournament, because for some reason all those results are copy-pasted in both threads all the time, so I guess reacting to it in both of them is fine too :p

Having more threads is one of the things you and some other users required and we are going towards that direction. And if there is a separated thread for Tour de Ski of course all the posts about Tour de Ski should be in that thread and not in the World Cup one.

Why not call this thread "Le Cafe" or something like that?

 

Totallympics should follow 2020 Agenda and be urban. :evil:

It's Agenda 2020, not 2020 Agenda. Well, actually Olympic Agenda 2020. 

 

Keep your facts straight.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
