Alright guys, after getting angry at the fact that I couldn't find the lucky dueller's trophy, and then finding that somebody with only 9 duels had it I got mad, so i had Alexp make a change to it.

From now on you have to have a minimum of 100 duels to qualify for the trophy. 

So... who has it now?

ha! congrats Darth!

Oh, that's sweet. Thanks, march!

I was trying to think of a way to make it fair. What I did was look at the number of duels that regulars have on the site - most of them are significantly above 100.  Second I thought to myself: "hmmm... is it really luck if you win 30 of 50 games (60%) or is that just basic statistics?"  Much better if in 100 duels you win 55, (55%) - that actually seems "lucky"  PLUS then we don't loose the trophy AND people have to take the risk of actually duelling.  I think it's win / win.

hmmmm... this is interesting...

how about I ask alex to give people the option of "resetting" their duel history?  That way if you're REALLY unlucky, then you can start over, but you still have to work your way back up to 100 for another shot at the trophy?  oooh i really like this idea.

omg i know exactly how you wrote this one, you started off with, "resseting their duel history" thinking that people would just reset it after losing a whole bunch, then you realized that they would have to get to 100 before having a shot at the trophy lol. IT IS A GOOD IDEA!!! lol!

so who has it? lol

nate

Darth_Vadar has it.

man, i read through the moderation page, and this thread and didnt even notice the exchange between you and darth, my bad.

however, when me and AP were talking a few months ago, he said that he was gonna make it where the dueler trophy went to whomever had the best record over hte past 60 days. or something similar. was that in effect or had he not done that yet?

nate

hmmm... Nate, he may have said something like that to me too, but sometimes I zone out when alexp starts talking lol.  I'll check with him and see what's up with the trophy tonight.

haha. thats cool. i was just wondering. because if that is the case then even someone like madglee coudl get the trophy if he goes on a good run for a few months. but it doesnt really matter. really, im more interested in finding a way to keep track of who has the trophy. its frustrating to not have any clue who has it. the 100 duel limit is a great idea that can help with that.

nate

haha. nah, i wouldnt reset my record. its pretty average believe it or not.

nate

OK!  Alexp informs me that 1. yes there was a minimum, but that minimum was like 5 duels in a 3 month span.  2. now you only qualify for the trophy if you have more than 100 duels - which doesn't make much sense with the 3 month span thing.  sigh... and alex doesn't want to get rid of the 3 month span thing, and turn it into OVERALL duelling history - which is what I wanted - because of the amount of programming it would take to impliment the "reset duel history" feature.  I give up!
