So our most esteemed friend Mindstar has declared that he expects the tournament rules to be released by the end of the week. That deadline is fast approaching and we're all eagerly awaiting the big announcement. However I know how easy it is for chores like this to fall behind. We're all busy people after all.
So I might as well raise the stakes a bit. I have in my possession a 6 pack of delicious ale with CCP Mindstar's name on it. He is entitled to 6 cans of foamy goodness, with one slight twist. For every six hours between now and the release of the 9th Alliance Tournament rules, I will drink one of Mindstar's beers. I will enjoy the beer, but not as much as I would enjoy the rules, so here's to a great set of rules released quickly! :)
Think of the beer Mindstar. Think of the beer.
---------Fine Print------------ The beer provided to Mindstar will not necessarily be the exact same beer currently sitting in my fridge. Beer will be provided to Mindstar before or during the alliance tournament finals. I highly recommend picking me as a commentator so the beer can be purchased fresh and cold in Iceland instead of left to the whims of the postal service. ------------------------------------ |

That's great motivation, but honestly, I can't laugh about this any more.
I'm so skeptical of this that when Mindstar says the end of the week, I start thinking Sunday. CCP has totally lost my faith on this subject. It seems to me to be a simple logic if/then argument.
IF the Alliance Tournament is important to CCP, THEN put enough people on the project to get it out in a reasonable time
or
IF the Alliance Tournament is a sideshow they run for our benefit that they don't care about, THEN why screw around with the rules after they lost CCP Claw, and just leave the bloody rules alone for this year.
I reiterate my concern that this year's rules are going to have mega changes implemented by a new CCP intern put in charge of the Alliance Tournament, and it will be a disaster. Anyone who has ever been at a job where a new guy comes in and shakes everything up before they know how it works understands what I am saying.
In the end, my TL;DR is, I'd like to see the rules Friday, but I bet Mindstar meant Sunday, and I'm doubtful we'll see them until next Wednesday. |

I think Sandy V above me needs to get out a little more and not get so worked up about the tourney.
CCP has clearly adopted Valve Time (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time). So, you will probably see the rules at 11:50 on Saturday night. Have a few beers and relax while you wait.
EDIT: just wanted to say that I approve of Raivi's idea! |
