Cog Chronicles II
« on: June 24, 2013, 12:39:38 pm »
Hey there, Sammy B. T. here. I wanted to show y'all something I have been putting a minimal amount of effort into. I call it the Cog Chronicles (Or the Chrogicles, if you will). My goal as one might guess from my title is to basically chronicle the cogs and provide information that is both useful, comprehensive, and accessible. In the last season of cogs, finding out information was scattered across bracket, preview, and tipping threads. To fix this I made a prezi. For those not knowing what a prezi is, imagine a power point presentation where all the slides are laid out on a table and you can go back and forth between the slides. At the moment it is only five frames including a boring title frame. This is something I will be updating constantly and so if you see a mistake, can think of something to add, or just have anything you want me to know, simply tell me and I shall do my best to strive for the right.

If you click any of the words in this line, you will be transported via the internet to my prezi!

I am slightly worried that that link might not update past what is currently saved. If that is the case, I am sure I can talk to a CA to get this fixed.

Right now I plan on having at minimum the weekly initial rosters in both "line view" and "cog view." Currently I am thinking of adding things such as, but not limited to;
Tipping information frames
Results frames
Short Summary of matches frames
Accounts of the romantic/sensual escapades of qwerty and swallow...frames

This should be fun. Please though, comment on, criticize, tear asunder my work. Can't wait to hear from you. I would like to know what each teams abbreviated name should be. 4 letters or less.

A quick note. This is not official, if something I say here contradicts anything that Swallow says, defer to Swallow.

There is a good chance my ordering of the upcomers cogs is a bit off as there were some rule changes, and some discrepancies between what was typed, who won in cogs, and the seeds given in the stream.

For Merry Men we usually use MM rather than ZMM, so in the next iteration you can probably change that if you'd like. Other than that it's a nice layout to see all the information, I'll probably keep it bookmarked as long as you're planning on keeping it up to date.

I like this. You should add actual rotating "Cogs" with the team names...

I may have a new art project now...

A year ago I made a prezi that had a rotating view. I am unsure if I can make the wheel itself spin.

Also I changed ZMM to MM. Edits I make to the prezi will also show up in the link in the OP. Lesson here, changes are easy, let me know what needs to be changed.

I've added a match page for week 1 which I will obviously update after the matches to include map, time, score and winner.

Btw in case you are unfamiliar with prezi, you can click and drag on the screen to go from slide to slide as opposed to using the arrows. I did this to allow for quick travel between the coming weeks. Any corrections, suggestions, and whatnot, let me know.

Just got back home, went to qwerty's twitch page and could not find a recording of the stream. Was it recorded elsewhere? If there is no record of it, can I just get a brief rundown of who officially played and won?

I know I am really late in doing this, was unmotivated since I missed the entirety of week 1. However, have updated this to the best of my knowledge.
