Quality content somehow related to crypto is fine (Trucker threading counts under this classification).

Robotic spam about price changes, ICOs, gains/losses etc. is not.

Watchmen is serving in a very informal advisory role - he declined an official committee seat. But even if he had accepted it, he wouldn't have unilateral power to exclude anyone (like last year's failed host did).

Don't worry. The best posters will make it.

A long needed crackdown on alts/vote rigging.

Low seeds for prior semifinalists ensures they will have to make it on merit.

All voting will be done by a vetted and trusted committee consisting of: Bad Motherfucker, Watchmen, lisa rowe, tokyorose, WMTP and Chicago Young Hustla. Letting all poasters vote is crude and outdated and why last years MPM failed. Rest assured the entire process will be consistent with bort spirit and accepted by all quality poster. The haters will be dealt with accordingly.

Stay tuned for Friday's exciting announcement, which will put all doubts to rest.

The low-seeds-for-semifinalists actually has a good idea behind it, though is a questionable execution.

Last year more than a few great poasters who probably would have pwned in other sections of the draw got arbitrarily stuffed into evan39s section and got steamrolled either by evan or each other, while mediocre poasters went far in the weak sections.

The best thing would be to seed the fucking tournament accurately and even out talent across all the sections, but if that's impossible this may be the next best thing.

Exactly, this idea is terrible. The way to have good tournament match-ups is to have good seeding, not arbitrarily dump posters into low seeds. That will cause big match-ups to happen in the first two rounds instead of in the final rounds like they're supposed to.

I'd be open to it, but then I'd have to drop out and I will confess I am slightly VAIN and enjoy competing in the tournament.

If My Dog feels too busy though I'd be willing to help in improving the nominations/seeding process.

? who says you have to drop out? i seeded myself in the first two MPMs, i got beat handily by better poasters, and that was that. when voting is open and notorious with well-defined voting criteria, no cheating is possible, because it's just counting, and anyone can apply the criteria and check the count. as i recall, i was corrected once or twice in my tabulation.

a whitelist of permitted sudo voters, providing a particular voting format, and giving a firm open and close time for voting pretty much solves every partiality issue.

the only cheating that can happen is when bullshit like the above is suggested.

Fair enough.

Creating the "whitelist" sounds like a difficult ordeal but maybe I'm overstating the difficulty. Glancing at last year's voting, it looks like MPM has really been almost entirely sudos voting, but I'm worried that could change this year with rach giving away all those alts lately and such.

not that hard.

all 128 contestants last year are automatically whitelisted, under their known monikers only. that's thread #1. that's more just informing people. no real solicitation of opinion required.

new poasters, added to 2017's MPM using the consensus of XO plebs (using the suggested tiers or whatever), are also whitelisted. that's thread #2--who should be in it this year?

by now you have a whitelist of 128 (last year's) + new contestants who can vote.

thread #3, to be posted at least a week or two before voting--petition here to be added to the voting whitelist. that way, old dogs who happen to be around but aren't competing anymore can go under their known monikers and ask to be included. new guys who aren't yet known enough for MPM but want to be included can be. and if it's just someone's alt, i'm sure autists will comment and say "not this guy, it's just WMTP." that will be, i think, pretty much the only time you have to exercise any judgment on the matter.

not that tough, no?

that's about it.

not exactly - we're assuming imperfect seeding (there were a lot of really random and bad high seed choices in previous years, won't name names of course)

beneath a certain tier everyone is pretty much at the same level. the issue last year was that the "point of arbitrariness" was set too high so good posters were thrown in with the pool of interchangeables. you don't need "perfect seeding" you just need to be a bit more careful with placing posters in the appropriate tier.

for seeding, people running MPM should just create a thread of known sudos and ask people to rate them as "great, good, or okay" or something.

or, perhaps to save work, the people running MPM should offer their list of 128 sudos and suggested tiers - great, good, or okay, roughly corresponding with seeds of 1-8, 9-16, and 17-32 or so - and solicit input from poasters about whether poasters are in the approximately correct tiers.

i think poasters should nominate other poasters as has been custom but your second suggestion is cr

the process last year was to vote over who got the top four seeds in each bracket, as though the specific seeds were important, and then everyone else was just scrambled around. the specific seeds really don't matter even at the top, just the tiers.

whoever runs it should come up with a top tier of 16, second tier of 16, third tier of 32, and then fourth tier of 64 (or two more tiers of 32). publish the tiers, people critique them, and they're adjusted as needed. seeds are then assigned based on those tiers.

yeah. seeding is important and should be run by the people. the methodology is less important than ensuring that seeding is crowdsourced.

the only potential issue is that you wind up approximating voting itself with certain methods, which is why you want to be pretty coarse with the designations. 3 tiers seems like enough, and 4 is certainly enough.

four tiers might be enough but i think the uneven distribution is important. poster quality doesn't follow a uniform distribution and if we just had four tiers of 32 it would seem like there were people thrown into the top tier that didn't quite belong with the evan39s of the world. meanwhile the posters towards the other end of the distribution are much more similar. so i think a 16-16-32-64 distribution makes sense for tier1 - tier2 - tier3 - tier4. or 16-32-32-48.

This could work. Propose an opening list of 128 sudos who were active in the past year. Poasters can point out doubles or suggest omissions until we have a final roster of 128 (or 64 or 88 or w/e; we could always use "play-in" matches to improve things). Then, once the field is set, we can worry about seeding.

The top 16 seeds or so are probably the most important to get right, so we could have posters straight-up pick 10 or 16 posters they think belong up top, and seed based on who gets the most votes. Not sure how we'd handle the lowest seeds, though. Should it be based on nominations (i.e. put the most-hated posters the lowest) or on indifference (i.e. pick people who aren't nominated for higher seeds)?

the low seeding of top posters idea is actually extremely dumb

the issue with seeding last year was that good seeding was extremely arbitrary, so in some brackets you had two very good posters matched up in the early rounds knocking each other out while mediocre posters cruised through for a few rounds in other brackets

if you're replacing the top posters with "next-best" posters at top seeds then you're just institutionalizing this problem. good posters be matched up against each other early and will knock each other out while the mediocre posters ranked in between them will coast through for a while

seeding should be standard. top posters at top spots, lower posters beneath them. worse posters exit earlier and top posters still inevitably face each other once the field is narrowed so nobody is getting a "free pass" just by being seeded at the top. people stick around for as long as they should.

I'm an unimportant poaster (but a daily lurker since 2011), but I'd recommend someone else self-declare as the organizer for MPM. This is clearly a WMTP alt and WMTP comes off as pretty unhinged to me. He also has a lot of beef with people and I doubt he can run it objectively. Just my $0.02
