WELL thought through and designed.

FYI, here is a link to a project (ending in the next 7 hours) on Kickstarter that has been wildly successful.
Part of that success is because of how well the project was presented, the stretch goals and what you get for funding it (plus the quality of the work being produced of course)!

There are many examples of similar, incredibly successful crowd-funded projects.  This is only the most recent that I’ve been interested in personally (and wish so much to have had the money to back it now).

@Cromwell_Dude:

Just saw Skyfall. Horrible movie. Bad script. Boring movie. Don’t waste your money.

You’re right, I was being to nice in my last post…. it sucked.

Have people enter, and then get a board of top rated players to judge each player, from then creating pairs that are as fair as possible. They then create the brackets. Players would work in 2-man teams in 2 on 2 games. The winner continues on, the loser goes to the loser bracket, but if you lose in there, you are out. Then the top two losing teams face off to see who gets to see the winners champion. Then the winner and loser champions face each other to see who wins there. For playing different games: games like Bulge, D-Day, and Guadal are worth the lowest points for Ws and Ls, while 1940 and Anniversary are worth more points for both winners and losers. To prevent cheating, there will be a judge at each game who will officiate, but will not punish players if they screw up, but will disqualify them if they do things like roll the dice again, or pick their tech, etc.,intentional cheating like that in which there is evidence beyond a REASONABLE doubt. Everyone should have fun, as it is a double then play for fun elimination circut. If your are knocked out of the losing bracket, you then join the other pairs(1/4 of total players at first possible chance), and play for fun, not to advance, as you are knocked out of the tournament. Where and when will the convention be held because I will try to get there if it is in the US.

“Professor Rape!” “No.” “Professor death!” “No.” “Professor Anthrax!”  “I like it!”

To me, chili does not include spaghetti.  That’s just a Yankee thing to do.  :-)

No wonder the Minutemen are taking over protecting the US Mexican border.

I see it more as if the minutemen won. The border is becoming more secure because of the political pressure the minutemen were able to apply by making people aware of the problem. Bush was ready and set for an amnesty program before the minutemen came about. Now the illegals have become desperate.
