The Issue with "Bringing Back The Duel!"

1stApr 13, 2014 by LeXXXy
1) First of all, half of you that are begging randomize to bring back The Duel have never even played it LOL. How does that work out?

2) This has happened before. The Duel was removed because nobody played it (this was BEFORE the unenroll button was invented). Games would take 1-2 days to fill! But when it was removed everyone begged for it back, randomize brought it back, and after a week it went back to 1 game filling every 24 hours.

3) The Hunger Games. I wouldn't be surprised if randomize didn't bring back The Duel seeing as we practically already have it in a more advanced form with The Hunger Games. Furthermore, i'm pretty sure he doesn't want the website to be completely full of challenge based games. Castings/crookies require activity which was the whole basis of Tengaged from the beginning, not how well you can use cheat engine.

4) Server space. This is a BIG one! Mostly, the reason why we don't get loads of fancey updates every 2 days like y'all crave is because there is a limit to how much data the server can hold, not because randomize doesn't care. I'm also pretty sure THG takes up A LOT of space on the server, so rando isn't able to add stuff every so often because others things would have to be deleted to make room for new things.

tl;dr - The Duel isn't back because no one ever joined it even when there wasn't an unenroll button. Other reasons include THG is similar, there is little server space, etc...

I personally would love The Duel back! But lets all stop being delusional and face the truth, the only people that won The Duel were challenge dominators, and if it did come back then i guarantee after a week it would go back to no one bothering with it as they know they don't stand a chance against the challenge beasts.

Exactly! I'm glad someone pulled up the points about the server to show we can't have 10000 games to choose from.

Plussed but this blog is made like once every few months and it's nothing new. Yes people want the Duel back but we all know it's not happening

Look I loved the Duel and I played it a long time ago, it wasn't always a matter of losing to comp dominators, it was a matter of using it to get better at comps! Just my opinion

Yeah there's server space and Randomize genuinely doesn't give a fuck lol.  He goes months without ever doing anything on the site.  He doesn't give a fuck.

The duel may motivate people to actually play competitions and win them.

BrendonByrne, just because your lame ass stayed playing them doesn't mean everyone else did.
Sent by dav_o_79,Apr 13, 2014
BrendonByrne if people played them then why did each game take substantially longer than every other game to fill? And don't say "oh well there was an unenroll button" because even before that they took days to fill.

well to create some server space, he could start by deleting sponsors

I don't get why people go against it coming back, let people ask for it back who cares

If you don't like it, don't play it nobody is gonna make you play it, but for the people who ask for it back, let them ask and if it comes back it will help them practice challenges.

Personally, I don't really care if it comes back or not but the problem was with the unenroll button rather than the game itself.
Sent by Milkisgood,Apr 13, 2014
Milkisgood did you even read the blog?

I'm not against it coming back nor the people who want it back, but for those who keep begging for it back i was just letting those know the reasons WHY its not yet back.

"If you don't like it, don't play it " ----- Nobody played it anyway LOL.
Sent by LeXXXy,Apr 13, 2014
yes lexxxy i read the blog, i was simply stating my opinion about it.

Some people did play it, but it isnt as obvious because others kept unenrolling so it wouldn't start, I would know!

I still wanna know what frats or the have to do with reality TV lmao...totes agree about duel we have been down this road twice lmao...most here are never happy and imm want something else or find something wrong when they get what they wanted... We still need like annual or semi annual updates to keep things fresh...

Milkisgood it took days to fill even when the unernoll button wasn't implemented :/
Sent by LeXXXy,Apr 13, 2014
lexxxy yes the slow duel did, i believe a fast duel without the unenroll button will fill fairly better :X
Sent by Milkisgood,Apr 13, 2014
Milkisgood yes, for a week.
Sent by LeXXXy,Apr 13, 2014
Lexxxy if frookies and crookies still fill even though everyone knows they are full of premades, I think there is some hope for the duel.

Like I said, I don't really care if it comes back or not, but it can be improved to the point where it won't be a disaster.
Sent by Milkisgood,Apr 13, 2014
Milkisgood i completely agree that it can be improved, but frookies/crookies are easily winnable against premades, whereas with the Duel you HAVE to be good at challenges to win. Plain and simple. No ifs or buts.
Sent by LeXXXy,Apr 13, 2014
lexxxy idk how frookies/crookies are easily winnable against premades but that is a different issue so i won't get into that

and yes that's true, but i think the people who want the duel back want it so they can practice challenges so they can get better at them, and if they want to do that then let them beg for it, sure challenge beasts will more than likely dominate it, but it allows for easy practice as well

Sent by aes222aes,Apr 13, 2014
I think if would be a great idea if they made the duel into a duo game
like 24 players put into 12 duos randomly an there score would accumulate together an average out. So a challenge beast can be paired up with a challenge newb and they either could do really well together or fall flat and the game would obviously have 2 winners with the duo thing.

Premades are easily beatable when you're not retarded.
Sent by bryjow123,Apr 13, 2014
bryjow123 if you have 5 people plussing each other, negging you and assuming they dont absolutely suck at challenges explain how to win
Sent by Milkisgood,Apr 13, 2014
milkisgood motivate the other people in the game to do the same and in every premade there is always someone making side deals.

1) First of all, half of you that are begging randomize to bring back The Duel have never even played it LOL. How does that work out?

Errrm... Bcos exactly the reason. Bcos they've NEVER played it & want it brought back TO play it. Perhaps they're a fan of MTV's "The Challenge" OR just simply want another game to try...

"as they know they don't stand a chance against the challenge beasts."

I think a way to solve this is if time is decrease if you won immunity that day like you do in Frookies.
