Its simple you can just copy and paste your BattleNet Profile here in this thread and it will automatically include you or abstract will do it for you.

@Abstract: this is a good idea. Have people to state their goal of how many games need to be played for a day or week or month. If they don't reach their goal, they have to do something they list them selves as some kind of punishment (like Stallion). If they do reach their goal people can congratulate them...lol...Have a Column saying Yes (Green) or No (red) if they reach the goal or not. It helps motivate people, because they see other people reaching their goal and they can do the same to reach their own goal (beside having red beside your name compared to the rest that are Green, can be embarrassing and it is motivation in itself...lol).

Of Course the Punishments will be shown publicly as well as the Goal (Yes or no) and Congratulations if they achieve their goal.

oh shit contest between soul and pet

**abstract** · Tue, 14th-Jan-2014, 12:47 AM

I have added some more features to the table (position change and games played this week) and replace season win % with this weeks win %. I have almost finished up doing the automatic league promotions congratulations and will probably have that implemented tomorrow.

That will probably be the last feature addition as this seems like a good trade off from peoples comments of what they like / don't like. If anyone wants something
added just post and if there is support for it I will do it.

It should be noted that weekly stats and position change are matched against Monday morning (just after midnight) if you join after that you will need to
wait till next week to see them. Also if you add an account mid week you may see a spike on your weekly stats.

Punishment sounds like an awful word. Just keep it simple as it is. However, the idea of encouraging players to state their goals sounds pretty good. It's like making a New Year's Resolution.

Well i would use another word for punishment...but I don't know what other word that means the same but in not in what you call it "awful word".

It was suppose to be you have to do something (that you stated), if you don't meet your goal you have to do it. Sometimes it is good to have something to motivate you, other than "Just Play". If you don't do something, than you have to do it (so if they don't want to do it, than they will play to reach their goal). Of course this is optional and people can opt out and also they can just state their goal without the punishment (they can tell abstract).

At the end of the day, this is just an idea/option/feedback/suggestion, you don't have to take it so seriously.

Hi All, can you please add me to the list. Been really enjoying SC2 despite the difficulty of being promoted at the moment. My goal is to ensure my Bonus Pool doesn't go above 100 for both SEA & NA.

Yes. The full season win rates will be back next update as requested. So you will have both.

**Eddie** · Tue, 14th-Jan-2014, 2:22 PM

If abstract + Elusory are happy to, we shall give out OSC Points for #Dedication!!!

The top 10 people with the most games played at end of the season shall get 15 points each
The person who has the best win % over 200 games gets a bonus 15 points

Time to hit ladder

Ok everything is pretty much how I want it now. However I am open to suggestions if someone really wants a feature.

Added today:
- Season win % is back as requested
- win % that is 40-50% is now orange instead of red

and I am proud to finally announce the addition of automatic league promotion notifications.
The notification will stay up for a week and we be separtated into:
GM / Masters / Up and Comers (the other leagues)
In addition you can get a promotion notification for getting GM on a "better" server even if you already have GM.
Where: KR > NA/EU > SEA.

Also in case you didn't see Eddie's post your #Dedication will now be rewarded with OCS points!

Wow man, I can't believe OSC points are given for this! While some people might say that people may just throw games here and there to secure 15 points, I think 15 points would slowly be less and less significant as months go by. 15 points per season (3 months for this season) is not going to sustain you. Getting at least second in weekly tournaments will already net you 15 points!

Hence, the 15 points isn't really to determine who will be in OSC 2014, but rather just be there to motivate everyone else who don't have the chance to get OSC points via tournaments. (I guess)

If you were to like spam losses and not be able to practice and then you get top 32 for OSC points, it will most probably pointless for the guy to even try playing vs the "legit" other 31 players since he didn't practice or even "play" to prepare

Elusory:

precisely. but not like someone will get top 32 via #dedication purely! haha
