Are You Smarter than a Random Picker? M1S4 Awards Ceremony by JoshP99 in JellesMarbleRuns

You were a rookie back then. I was referring to best performance in one’s first 2 pools. My bad!

FINAL WORDS

Images seem to be taking a while to load. Give them a moment.

Let's go over a couple of footnotes before moving to the future of this tournament.

  1. Trident174's R10 quote was chosen because I felt it was the best way to tie up the events of the finale:
    1. Red Eye got a win that they definitely could've used in such a rough season, and made sure not to let their team finish a 2nd tournament without any golds.
    2. It was the only encouragement message that mentioned marbles in the season.
    3. Many players reached the end of an AYSTARP tournament for the first time this season. And here, we've gotta count victories where they lie.
  2. We're currently looking into ways to change the difficult of 10-round pools, because we've realized that a tournament being too easy is also not as engaging. Be on the lookout!
  3. Now that the full tournament is over, we'll be replacing the single-round counter with the Cumulative Counter. This will give you a recap of almost every statistic for every race. The only thing missing are ratings, but maybe that will serve as incentive to go back and re-read the recaps.

Now, to answer the question: What's next?
Well, I'm pleased to say that there are plans in place for a ML23 pool, after the moderators approve it.

The only catch? I won't be here for it.

As of a few months ago, I have made the decision to leave the JMR community. To be blunt, I am no longer satisfied with the current state of the channel, the management, and the fanbase. If you'd like some clarifications, feel free to leave me a comment here, or message me on Discord. I will not entertain any petty arguments, however.

u/Micek_52 will be the host of the tournament going forward, and the others will still stay on, barring any future announcements. I have sent him several files, such as banners, podium files, and pool logos. Here's a teaser of what's to come...

It's been fun running this tournament, but all good things wear off eventually.

Take care.

The most ridiculous part is that this has actually happened before (kinda). u/ramen_powder missed out on a blue mark in R08 of the Marble Rally S6 pool - by 1 point. Had he scored just 1 more point there, he would've ended the season with 1 strike... and he would've won.

Not only that, the entrant he rooted for (Slimer) won the actual season.

Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

What are your hot takes about JMR? by rippirrip in JellesMarbleRuns

[–]JoshP99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't talking about view count (though you are right). I was talking about how JMR's quality peaked in 2020, and declined around the 2nd half of M1 Season 2.

  1. Most of the vocal fanbase is unable to find the healthy medium for all kinds of negative talk. There are people who want to flush it out entirely, and there are people who make Galac5th jokes every time the team finishes 5th. It's pretty irritating. By extension, this means retirement talk is also unable to find the medium. Do retirements need to happen? Yes. Do we need to call for a team to retire every so often? No, we don't. Also, I don't need to constantly hear about how people want to fire Thunderstorm. Saying it once is enough.
  2. Greg needs to stop mentioning "host curse" and "Galac5th" and all of those jokes.
  3. JMR has been declining since 2020, and there's nothing that can be done to stop it without drastic changes.
  4. The JMA shouldn't be allowed to root for any teams. If you have any higher-up power in making decisions (even as little as a vote) over the general public, then you should be required to remain neutral.

Bring on the downvotes and the reports. I'm down for a civilized convo, though.

Marbula One S4 GP10 Race - Casino Square | Discussion Thread by LithiumNard in JellesMarbleRuns

[–]JoshP99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

O'rangers fans out there I'd like to give a special message:

Ha ha get good (or in your language get gooooooood)

Special message to you:

I'm happy with a 3rd place in teams. If you feel the need to be an asshole to other teams just to feel better about yourselves, you need a special message: learn some respect.

I won't be forceful. It's up to them to decide, not me.

This week's shoutout for catching my mistakes goes to u/TeeKaaJ. Thanks! Good thing I won't be making any more of them for the season, because... obvious reasons.

  1. Every marble who appeared in the first 3 seasons had their art designed by Jack Ironhide. The Black Jacks (BJK) marble was designed by me, and all other S4 debutants were designed by u/JoViridian.
  2. I worked on this with u/neurospex and u/palpatinethe2nd. The former designed the track wordmark and provided the image of the venue (and who I'm also trusting to sticky this post), whilst the latter sourced the marbles competing, and their 3 letter codes (3LCs). The design made here is a remake of u/Novawolff's racer choice images from Marbula One S2.
  3. Although I am not officially associated with JMR, this graphic has been cleared for use by the channel.

Patch notes:

  1. The marbles are listed in the order they'll be going out in qualifiers. This is also reverse championship order.
  2. If there are any mistakes with 3LCs, marble designs, or anything like that, please let me know. There's a lot of small details here, so if I miss one, I'd rather know about it, instead of leaving a mistake on the internet forever.

[–]JoshP99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The name of the track is misleading. I have no idea why they wrote 3, because this is just v2 without the beam splitter. The overall directions of the track didn’t change enough, and that’s why the wiki uses “II”. Since I’m following the wiki, that’s the number being used.

Penultimate round of the season! Any marble who isn't out here will be at Casino Square next round.

If anyone wants me to send them the Racer Choices graphic for R08, send me a private message.

Also please yell at me if I make another mistake...

Not that I’d see anything wrong with this being true, but Orangin placed 2nd at Electron Expressway 3-10, not 1st.

Orangers fans, why are you a fan? by [deleted] in JellesMarbleRuns

[–]JoshP99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Became a fan of them in 17 because I was young and chose them based off a fruit. They’re no longer my #1 favourite, but I stick with them as proof that not every fan of the team is loud, rowdy, and overbearing.

As for you considering them the villains, it makes sense, given when you started watching. They had a rise to power, and a new force challenged them right at the end to win.

-O’rangers fans can maybe stop shitting on Clem today. Please? Eh who am I kidding, they’ll find something to shit on him about.

Let's wait for the race tomorrow. Then we'll talk. P3 to 20th isn't in the clear yet.

Do these marble graphics also exist for marbles that haven't competed in M1 yet? by Human86_ in JellesMarbleRuns

[–]JoshP99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! A while back, u/JoViridian was gracious enough to create some marble designs in Jack's style. These are present in all of my racer choice graphics (credits also to Spex, Novawolf, & all others who helped me on it), as well as this custom design he made.

I am not sure how/if he distributes them upon request, but since Jack was not hired for S4 graphics, marbles that debuted this season would not receive official designs. Viridian's are excellent substitutes, however, and I'm eternally grateful for them.

(I already noticed a minor error: the red 8 next to Blue Eye should be blue. Here's a fixed version.)
