Aftermath Concept

[Lofty]

I made a suggestion to Guano about this half a year ago or so when he was in charge of TWL but I guess he didnt have time to implement it.

Basically I suggested that after a particular match is over and done with, the 'Predictions' aspect of the TWL website be replaced with an 'Aftermath' aspect which would be where people comment and reflect on the outcome of the game in regards to the predictions made beforehand. People can discuss the upsets, mvp's, and unexpected ups and downs of the game at hand.

The Aftermath page would also highlight the accuracy of the predictions in relevance to the actual outcome, probably in percentage.

what do you think this discussion forum is for? ...among other things, to discuss the past games and upcoming ones.

Using that logic, the 'Predictions' aspect of the TWL site isn't needed either, since all predictions could be made here. Clearly the answer is that making an Aftermatch section would help players isolate and focus on particular matches in regards to the predictions made in the same place on the site before the games started.

In any case, Pusher told me to post the idea on the forums since he likes it and wants some other TWL authorities to see and consider it.

I think it's a good idea. One issue is that although the prediction system on the TWL site is good for predictions, it's not really setup very well for post-match discussions.

Perhaps it would be better if this "Aftermath" section was somehow linked to this messageboard. It wouldn't take a lot of effort for someone to set up a protected forum where only staff can make new threads, and then make a new, seperate discussion thread for each game that is played. Maybe there could be a seperate subforum for TWLD, TWLJ, and TWLB. They could then link each game's discussion thread to the corresponding game on the TWL website. It would bring some new people to this messageboard, and it is obviously a lot easier to discuss games on here than it would be with the system on the TWL website.

EDIT: Make whoever hosts a TWL game responsible for putting up a new forum thread to discuss the game. Spreads out the work and makes sure that a thread gets put up.

Yes? No?
