Other events for Weekly competition

[AvGalen]

For 2008 I added all events that got 10 votes or more in this thread. I also added all WCA official events.

For all other events, the votes have gone down to 0 and from now on voting can be done throught a poll. If you want events added to the poll, just let me know.

Here is my vote for Mensch ärgere dich nicht.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensch_ärgere_dich_nicht

Excellent idea! I'm in.

I vote for:

• Master Magic (3-of-5)
• 3x3x3 speed blindfolded (best of two executions)

I also think the 3x3x3 blindfolded should be "best of three," like in official competitions.

That leaves Master Magic to be desired. Do I revote?

 

[AvGalen]

Do you have a scrambler for Mensch ärgere dich nicht? (I so hope you are kidding)

Master Magic is already in the weekly competition.

Kai can create them. Or we can try team FMC...

Master Magic is already in the weekly competition.

Then I vote for speed BLD again, instead

 

[AvGalen]

If I am not mistaken, Mensch ärgere dich nicht is a game you play against each other and has a fixed starting position. I really don't see how I could fit that in the weekly competition so I am not going to make that a votable option.

And there is no reason you have to chose between events, you can vote for multiple events to be added.

If you added events to the poll, people who had already voted couldn't vote for the new events, could they?

 

[AvGalen]

You are right Jack. I didn't know how the "multiple choice"-poll worked. I was expecting that you could change your choices after voting. Let's just hope I don't have to add many events

I vote against any more events, there are just WAY too many now in my opinion. How can I also do feetcubing and bloody multi BLD and clock?? Should I quit school and give my life to the weekly contest?

yes

Seriously, there is no need to do all events every week. I might be the person that has done the most solves in all competitions last year, but I haven't learned 4x4x4_bf and 5x5x5_bf last year just so I could get more points. And I am not planning on doing multi_blind every week either (just sometimes).

 

[hdskull]

Yea, I kinda don't want anymore events to be included because it already takes quite awhile to do like 1/2 of the events. I only voted for the 2,3,4 relay because I don't own a 5x5, haha.

 

[CraigBouchard]

I agree. Having all the events there makes me want to do them, and doing them all takes a VERY long time, especially for someone who may be slower at some events...This may be some incentive to go faster though Hahaha...

 

[Mike Hughey]

I agree - I think that's the main reason I want to be faster: so I can do all of the events each week without taking so much time.

 

[hdskull]

It's hard to get fast at all the events at the same time, haha

 

[Mike Hughey]

Yes it is. Have you seen my times? They're proof of that.

 

[AvGalen]

I like doing all these different events. My 3x3x3-ing has helped my 5x5x5-ing. My 5x5x5-ing has helped my megaminxing and my megaminxing has helped my 3x3x3-ing.

 

[MistArts]

How about 3 in a row or algorithm execution?

 

[fanwuq]

I should really start to do them. I would only do 3x3, fmc in like 2min and get 50moves, 3x3OH, and pyraminx. Scrambling 4x4 is too much of a pain already.

 

[Mike Hughey]

I decided I want to suggest scrambled Magic. It should be possible to come up with a notation for scrambling - surely a "flipping-only" scrambling method can be come up with that will get to a large percentage of the significant possible permutations.

I think this would be great fun! The only problem is that at first I would probably have some solves that were very fast, and others that took many minutes to solve. But it would probably result in getting very good at unscrambling a magic, if we had to do 5 solves every week.

Excellent idea! I'm in.

It's called "Fia med knuff" in Sweden

I played it a lot as a child.
