hrtbrk Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Today's NT confirms that the AC will have a staff tournament and we will get to meet some of the new Jumpstaff. Excited? Mouseykins 1 Quote
Desertfreak Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah, pumped to see new staff :D but I'm hoping JS does something a little better the the past year. Never been a fan of the ST from AC 6 on. Quote
Mouseykins Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 This is exciting! It'll be interesting to see who remained and who is new on staff. :) Quote
twilight790 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 That's cool to hear, but I never really have participated in the staff tournament. I guess I'll try this year. Quote
rowtiderow Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 That's awesome! I've really never participated either, but I'm excited to be getting in on it this year. And I think it's a great way for us to start to get to know the JS! Quote
coryldork Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 This is exciting! It'll be interesting to see who remained and who is new on staff. :) Agreed! I'm so looking forward to this. The AC feels like a nice constant in all the ongoing changes. I doubt there will be any super-shiny new things (*cough cough* avatar), but I'm excited anyway. :D Quote
Marae19 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I'm curious about the new staff, but could someone explain to me what the staff tournament is, because I've never actually participated or really known what it was... jellysundae 1 Quote

We'll basically draft our own team of staffers and they will play in a tournament. We will get points based off of how well they play, and be rewarded with a (small) prize shop at the end :) This year may be a bit of a struggle since we won't know who to pick based off of their previous performances since this will probably be their first time for most of them. :sad01_anim: Quote

But that is some of the excitement! Gambling on who we think is going to score higher. :) Hopefully we at least get some indication about their skillsets. I don't mind making bets, but I do mind it when they're not educated ones :) Quote
loraleigh Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I wonder how much time the new management will give the staff members new and old to practice and play. This is part of the problem when accountant types make decisions for creative types. Quote
weirdguy Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I am both excited to see if there are any young upstarts willing to shake up the hierarchy, and somewhat annoyed that there will likely be holes in my previous rosters that will be difficult to place for in order to gain optimal reward chance. ofc i'm not saying that the only reason i was concerned with the staff changes was because of the tournament data, why would you say that, cough anyway, the best players will obviously sneak in as much playtime as possible when they're not working, which i suspect certain devious newcomers from years past did in order to shore up their numbers hrtbrk 1 Quote
Shane for Wax Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I've always been terrible at fantasy games and the staff tourney is no exception. But it shall be a nice experience given the staff change. Maybe I'll actually pick a winner this time. Also you can't really expect the staff not to practice, especially the brand new members. Quote
Desertfreak Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 lawyerbot is back? Is this new or from last year if so I'm picking him Quote
Mouseykins Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Lawyerbot has always been a part of the Staff Tournament. I can't remember what his scores were like in previous years, but I'll be checking for sure to help make the best team possible! :D Quote
Marae19 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 The site says it starts today (June 5th), but it hasn't started yet. Does anyone know the time when it starts? Quote
