Danisen sounds pretty cool.

-From 1st Kyu, each further increasing losing streak takes you up to 10th Kyu (-10, -20, etc.). Ex. 1st Kyu at 0 -> -10 -> 2nd Kyu at 0.

I look forward to seeing you all from 10th Kyu with my suggoi freedom/free-ness?

I might have a friend coming this friday from College Station but he'll be late. Should be amusing.

[jetblaksuit]

Jet, are you gonna be at mig's place on friday? My sanyo isnt funny anymore >

Not unless someone gives me a ride. This month is kinda tight and I might not be able to spare the bus fare. If you want you could come get my splitter and speakers from me Friday. But if you're going to do that you could potentially hook me up with a ride :D

edit: here's my current work on the spreadsheet.

You can sort by player name, character, and anything else but as you can see the rank slot is empty. I'm trying my hardest to make the system work automatically as much as I can... because nobody wants to sort out 20+ people all day once we get that many players. For example, the ratio and point areas are set to change based on the number of wins and losses. So there's no need to edit those. This causes a small complication when players hit Kyu then back up to Dan, but I think it'd be fine to just reset their win/lose ratio when they break out of kyu.

More on this later.

Later: Ok, after re-educating myself on Dansien for the 20th time, turns out the way I tried implementing points was wrong since from 1 - 5 you have to have 3 wins to go up/down but from 6 - 10 you need 5 to go up but 3 loses still brings you down.

First of all, thats really impressive Rave. My Excel skills have really hit rock bottom since high school. The points section only really needs to be +3/-3 or +5/-3. Its only really necessary to know what someone needs to get to the next rank. I hadn't even considered keeping track of win/loss records. Also, we need a good way to keep track of this all at the meetups. Something we could just print out, mark on, and tally up at the end. I figure the way we'd do it is just meet up as normal and play casuals. Then for maybe like an hour or so, some predetermined time, we run Danisen. So lets say the meetup starts at 3, we run danisen from 5-7 and then proceed as normal.

Welcome to the scene man. Get down to some meets asap.

Yeah, I've changed the sheet up a bit since that post. The points and Dan system will have to be changed manually for now but I'm sure there's a way I can auto-mode Dans based on points going up/down later. I'll also get pages of fancy charts and graphs! :o

Friday confirmed:

Zreb

Johnny

Friday Probably:

Ice

Friday Maybe:

Boombox

Aloha

Ronin(Right? btw is cheebz coming?)

Supaa(will come to at least one he said)

Transient(will you need a ride or something..?)

Dances

Rave, Adam

Bishop with oso???

Friday needs a ride:

Jet

I think oso?? i cant find the text that indicated this though

Want to know:

Outlaw(i assume you can do saturday but not friday?)

Exceed(do you just go to the srk meetups every week or something)

Danni(you said you may or may not come saturday, i assume you can't friday?)

So, minimum: 3 including me,

maximum in theory:18

Likely: Probably about 9.

So, will need 3 setups. Zreb and I=2, people who could possibly bring the third setup:

boombox(always a hero)

ice(i'm theorizing here, but he could probably bring his ps3 at least..)

supaa(ps3, monitor)

ronin(ps2 setup, plus if dances with ninja has a hokuto no ken copy like he sounds like he does, we could play that for KITCHEN HOKUTO NO KENNNN)

Also, danisen thing is sounding kind of cool. Question, though. Are victories for ranking up weighted by what Dan you fought? Like, a 10th dan winning against a 1st dan should only advance half a point or something, right?

as for keeping up with dan ranks at meetup, i guess i have a little netbook people can quickly type on

also, ready for boombox to have like 6 dans due to it being character based, haha

Transient(will you need a ride or something..?)

I live down the street, I think I got transportation down.

Like I wrote in an earlier post, my friend should be coming down this Friday so he might get there around 6-7ish

I FUCKIN LOVE POKEMON. WHY YOU HATIN'

I will never look at pokemon the same way again...

edit: oh yeah count me in for sure just got my ride changed this weekend so I'm set for friday

You only play against people who are within +/- 1 rank of you. So a 9th dans play 10th, 9th and 8th dans. A first dan would play any Kyu ranked players as wells as 1st and 2nd dans. The only difference is if you are above 10th dan you only play people of the same rank as you. 10th dan would only play 9th and 10th dans. Above 10th Dan the ranks have special names. We could come up with some of our own

As far as keeping track of things on your netbook, that works when the meet is at your house and when you attend but otherwise we'd just need to put it down on paper. We'd basically make up a chart and just mark wins and losses as they happen and then tally it up and update wherever we keep it posted.

since you're in fort worth(where zreb is) on weekends, and amtatma(jin player) said he'd start being available within a week or two from now, so maybe you guys should do little 3(ALL YOU NEED~) man meetups on sundays or something

Glad to say I'm done with everything I want to put into the Danisen spreadsheet. Let's see what there is to see.

Nothing much different from before. Just corrected the points thing so they are added in manually. Rank is also manual. "Deal with it" I keep telling myself. :8/:

Character listings.

I can do a little more with this later but right now it's main purpose is to show how many of each character are in the Dan.

A pie chart of the character listings. Because I can.

A nice bar graph for showing Win/Loss and your total matches. Plants is lookin' pretty free. Meanwhile, Ronin starts a mad dash to catchup to Mig's Bang.

Will this thing actually work? Find out next time on Dallas Ball Z.
