The commoners thread: Discussing Ultima's "On the Many, Many Incoherences of the Tiering System"

I dont think so. But i would like to make immeasurable speed thread for discussing repetitive question/observation or clarification.
wait a sec, this still not finished ??
I would greatly appreciate it if you stopped trying to make staff discussions at the moment. There's literally hundreds of threads in the backlog, and I only managed to start earnestly making a dent in them this week and wouldn't want you to add more to the pile.

Actually i want to make immeasurable speed thread on general discussion for chit-chat and other repetitive stuff. Not on staff discussion Unless i misunderstand your comment.

If every verse that is currently Low 1-C to High 1-B is getting upgraded to 1-A, then we’re pretty much losing a lot of match potential considering the ban on 1-A matches for their varying layers.

Though, I’m not knowledgeable on tier 1 sooo…

Geez, from my experience with megaten matches it only takes one layer above baseline 1-A to make a match fly south into stomp territory. And guessing a verse's layers is like paying taxes, your just expected to just know off the profile alone.

The ban on 1-A and 0 matches was removed long ago.
 
How will the outcome of the thread be decided? By vote count, Antvasima's decision, or another option?
 
Can DT veto this? Because it seems to have nearly unanimous agreement so far, to the point where I think DT is the only staff member actively disagreeing (could be wrong though).
Qawsedf also disagreed. And I think only DeagonX, DarkGrath and Planck were agreed (I don't know what Executor was thinking, he was kind of in the middle I guess)
 
The worst part about this not being accepted is that Ultima had thoroughly discredited the current system, working within a broken system doesn’t sit right with me.

So I hope some changes come as a result of this
 
TBH I wouldn't mind if we just removed tiering by R>F altogether and just applied Reality Equalization regardless of cosmological position, but that also comes with issues regardless.

Nothing is perfect. If it fails, change can still happen because now everyone is thinking about it.

I agree, I think R>F is just a state of being rather than a power and I don't think it should affect AP. As for this thread... It contains a lot of assumptions and doubts.

I consider that a bit too radical for this revision. I'll look towards handling this with the other staff later.

There is also his plan to unfuck tier 2 iirc
 
Yes but it's math based.
It's both math and metafictional based, tho from what I remember from Ultima's post this might cause problem for the verse remaining tier 0, but might also don't... we'll see
