I like that point per country tally. That doesn't mean the dutch are smarter than everyone else though!

Djoez · June 21st, 2006, 06:43 AM

No it only meant that there where more dutch GTCers...

Fusionist · June 21st, 2006, 02:44 PM

I like the idea od a centralised tally but there are so many problems with it.

There are so many tally's some of them by newbies who wont update. Also some of us go on holiday or simply give up like Kuesel. So I think it is better to stick to our own tallies.

But if everybody goes along the other idea I will not object and kep to the trend.

Forza Raalte · June 21st, 2006, 03:56 PM

Yes. That's the only disadvantage of the system. Who's tally will count? You can update every tallies once a week but some of them only make 2 GTC's or take a long break.

CPN · June 23rd, 2006, 06:42 PM

...it's a good idea but the centralized tally will need to be updated regularly, who 'll be in charge of it ??

Marcanadian · June 23rd, 2006, 07:11 PM

I assume Forza will. It would be a lot of work though.

Forza Raalte · June 23rd, 2006, 11:43 PM

Just start it?

I think I do.

Stop making the system complicated. Anyhow GTC is just a game for everyone to participate.

I think it needs to be casual. Like the honor system.

The fuck happened to my tally?

Missed me, it has been a while.

Wow, so little people posting here (compare to before), where did the people go?

Küsel · March 30th, 2007, 06:54 AM

unfortunatly it was dying

MattSal · August 6th, 2007, 03:44 PM

Here's a question. Is anyone here old enough to remember me? I haven't been here in well over a year and I don't see hardly any familiar faces.

MattSal · August 6th, 2007, 04:06 PM

After rereading this thread I have something to say. The points systems or anything to do with GTC should NEVER be centralized. The whole point of people having their own point systems and their own series of threads is to add to the fun, variety, and friendly competition that makes this subforum so great.

When I first instituted the idea of a formal point system in my Official GTC Series of threads (yes believe it or not I was the first that I know of to do this, so anyone with a point system now owes their origins to me), it was merely to keep a tab of who was active, who was good, and who would get bragging rights at the end of the series.

Seriously, centralizing GTC would remove its fun, it would make it seem like a government, like an autocracy. As a plea and opinion from one of the oldest active GTC users, the inventor of a formal point system, and the first person to reach 100 threads in one GTC series, I ask you not to do this.

I only remember your guess the distance threads.

Here I have made 166 "Poll the" series since last year, as well as more than 300 GTCs since 2005.

Küsel · August 6th, 2007, 08:07 PM

Hey Matt, welcome back - yes we older ones definitly missed you!
