(New) What cubes should be added to the WCA events list?

[GAN 356 X]

Feet is a cube?

Well it is now

 

[GAN 356 X]

Going back some of my possible answers were very stupid. Ghost cube and double OH? Wtf?

 

[MJS Cubing]

Maybe they should add some cuboids, like 2x2x3. I would definitely compete in that.

 

[One Wheel]

Currently only 3x3 With Feet and 4x4 With Feet should be added. Eventually maybe Curvy Copter and Full Blind (memorize on a textured cube, solve on a non-textured cube).

 

[Pyjam]

I tell you: clock with feet is the next big thing.

 

[One Wheel]

I’ve tried it. 3x3 and 4x4 With Feet are excellent events, Clock With Feet is a nightmare because of pins.

 

[Pyjam]

Yes, it's challenging.

 

[ProStar]

Honestly, please be quiet about feet. It's not getting added for a while, if ever. It just got removed. You can practice it if you want(obviously), but please be quiet about adding feet. It's not happening, and it's getting annoying.

If you don’t like Feet, don’t worry about it. 2x2, pyraminx, and skewb annoy me, but I don’t worry about people talking about them.

2x2, pyra, and skewb are all official events. Feet isn't. Would you like it if in every post I said "Magic and Master Magic are the best! Add them back!"?

I don’t care about Magic and Master Magic. There were good reasons for removing them, though, and there weren’t good reasons for removing Feet. If you want to advocate adding them back I’m not going to agree with you, but you do you.

Good reason: Majority of people didn't compete in it
Good reason #2: Most comps didn't hold it
Good reason #3: Scramblers hate it
Good reason #4: Many non-cubers think it's strange
Good reason #5: Most people believe it is more disgusting than with hands

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reason for not removing feet: People have practiced it a bunch and we're removing one of their favorite events


People liked magic and master magic, and there were people who practiced it a bunch. That didn't stop the WCA from removing them.

I don’t care about Magic and Master Magic.

Feet is in the same situation as magic and master magic. That's why I brought it up.

If you want to have this argument here, it’s no skin off my nose although these posts will likely be moved to the “Feet is unofficial” thread.

#1 most people don’t even solve Rubik’s cubes, let alone compete in any given WCA event.

#2 So? Most comps don’t hold most events. This is not a problem.

#3 depends on the scramblers, but not in my experience.

#4 non-cubers think cubing is strange, when I’ve talked to non-cubers about cubing they’ve actually generally had a more favorable impression of Feet than of cubing I’m general.

#5 irrelevant, and I’m not even convinced it’s true. Whether people believe it or not, it’s actually objectively not more disgusting than hands.

Magic and Master Magic were removed because there was not a consistent system for scrambling and judging.

#1: I meant most cubers

#2: But if you look at the percentage of comps that hold an event, feet had wayyy less than all of them, even something like 5bld

#3: I've heard countless stories of people complaining about scrambling for feet

#4: Out of the last 10 people I've talked to about it, all thought it was kind of cool that I could solve a Rubik's cube, 7 thought that feet was weird, and 3 thought feet was weird and disgusting

#5: No one cares about whether or not it is objectively more disgusting, the point is that people believe feet are more disgusting.

With all due respect to the both of you, is there anyway you can more your (debates, arguments, or whatever you want to call it to a PM). Everything that you both keep saying has already been said many, many times by other people and even you. Do you really think that it is going to change someone's views or get the WCA to ad it back in right away?

I am all for having a civil debate on official events versus unofficial events, and that is the point of certain threads, but having petty talks about one events that some people like and some not so much, I find to be very silly and childlike. Everyone that competes in WCA competitions knows that Feet is no longer an official event, even if some people were very annoyed with that decision (One Wheel) or some were happy with it (ProStar as it seems) there is no need to argue consistently about the same thing.

The only real reason I am posting this here, is because I keep getting notified about a new post in this thread, which I keep hoping with be something useful about the title of this thread, only to have to read yet another silly post about Feet (or the lack there of). And I am sure I am not the only one thinking this. I have not said anything about it, in hopes that people would stop annoying One Wheel with saying it is good that feet is now unofficial, and that One Wheel, would stop responding (in what seems/come off as rude) responses to the posts people make about feet.

We all know by this point where most people here (those that are regulars and out-spoken) where each stands with the decision of feet being removed, so for the sake of sanity (not talking about feet here) can we just stop the repetitive debate about one event? And if you so feel the need to get at someone your point (for the 100th time) just do so in a PM, and keep the threads out of this, especially since everyone that has said something about feet previously, is most likely no longer going to saying much more (if anything) since they are smart enough by this point to realize that they are not going to change someone else's mind on this matter.

 

[ProStar]

or get the WCA to ad it back in right away?

That's literally my point

some were happy with it (ProStar as it seems)

I honestly didn't care on way or another about feet, I just want people to be quiet now that it's gone for sure

I normally compete in every event I can solve, so theres a chance I would compete

 

[Mike Hughey]

@ProStar: He probably wouldn't be talking so much about feet if you weren't continually egging him on about it.

If any event is ever going to be added, there needs to be talk about it. I think it's perfectly reasonable for people to mention they would like feet back. Or magic and master magic. Or anything else for that matter.

I would prefer that people not go overboard spamming about wanting feet back. But occasionally lobbying for it seems perfectly acceptable and justified to me.

And as for magic and master magic, I'd still love to have scrambled magic and master magic added as events. Of course, the catch to that is that someone needs to develop a manageable scrambler for them, which is an even bigger challenge than the curvy copter one was.

 

[Da Werido]

well tbh, as I said in another thread, Rubik's Triamid looks like it can be added to WCA, it's the closest thing related to Rubik' Cube out of all Rubik's products IMO so it fits well

 

[Username: Username:]

Unpopular Opinion #4: Rubik's Triamid needs to be added in WCA

wait da minute I think it is not suitable for WCA. (pun intended) the pieces for the Rubik's Triamid can be taken apart like it's not even attaching to other pieces, so how can you even turn fast? let alone turning. yes I know the WCA includes twisty puzzles that doesn't turn, but I have one more point, you can solve it easily like you are putting the pieces back in.

edit : this post actually deserves to be on the adding another event in the WCA, thread.
