DFD: Ultimate Smackdown - Prelude

[reaperrr]

Ah, yes, I judged so many threads that I started thinking in them. Alright, so maybe we have the projected number of fights now, but given the large number of crappy pairings, I don't think we'll keep that level. My original point stands: If enough issues die, it'll have an effect on DFD's length.

ok

And no - the idea is that each of you can propose to kill whichever issues you don't think should even be considered. If enough of you agree that an issue shouldn't even be considered, it'll die.
Given that there were quite a few requests people seemed to agree were crappy in the individual DFDs, I'm simply not convinced there are enough "acceptable" issues to sustain us for another three rounds. Whether I'm correct, the outcome will show.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up for me. I wanted to know because there's 'only' about 20 issues (+/- 10 depending on how harshly I judge ) that I think shouldn't even be considered, but only 4 I really want to survive at all costs, so the rest was kind of a grey area to me.

Lastly, I'm afraid your argumentation is the exact reason we're not choosing that way. The very point is to force the community to choose which issues are more important to it. If not made to choose, the community will simply request and reopen and reiterate whatever it wants at any given moment. If not made to choose, the answer will always be "Why can't we have both? Do A first, and then B in the next release!".

Ok, I see your point. Yeah, that would be troublesome, I must agree

And while a second round of US could possibly force such a choice, it would take away the focus from the individual issues, something that's not desirable, either.

Fair enough.

As said on every stage of DFD so far: Good issues will die. It sucks, but it's necessary.

I know, and basically I fully support DFDs approach. It's really just the mentioned worst-case that I'm a bit afraid of.

Alright, then I'll just try to back up my personal favorites as much as possible through arguments for them (and against their opponents) and hope not too many of them will have to fight against each other or some more popular opponent, just like before
