The D1 Meet'n'Greet

Hi,

I never heard of tournaments with locked date.. is there some trace of that in web? I thought that time-locking and using it to regenerate same games was 'invented' a lot later than 10 years ago..

Your google-fu is weak. A search with diablo tournament "clock freeze" turned up a few hits, including this from May 16, 1999.

It is that. For me it is major factor for Ironmans, that they don't know what is lurking around the corner, but if they are good - they can handle everything.

In clock frozen tournaments, the players don't f***king know what's around the the next corner.

And If i generate game at locked time, I can simple regenerate same game - it is not same playing anymore, cause i can replay something, do something better at another time etc.

Again, in a well run tournament you don't know the seed, so you can't do this.

I understand not following the discussion the first time because of language difficulty. Maybe twice. But after something has been explained multiple times, by multiple people, in multiple ways, then another cause for the lack of understanding must be assumed. Any suggestions for what that may be?

If noone knows the date before start playing - that's acceptable - but ofc it is a new vision of that, becouse everyone can see and compare skills of players. And you will never know is someone replays game or not.

What is 'ofc'? And you cannot replay the game if you don't know the TIME (not just date) used to randomize the seed. Glad that you finally consider what I've been saying is not cheating all along is acceptable to you.

Good idea about one creator for all teams. - but it would require LAN games with all teams. (or time-locking works for BN? nah)

Yes, it does if you've got the brains to do it. It'll never be a concern for you.
