Well thanks for making the topic a whole month in advance and waiting until NOW to give us this pro-tip.

It's just asking for things like this to happen. Start the topic the week before E3 so that these misunderstandings and card edits don't have to happen!

anything that starts with "no" or ends with "doesn't get announced"

It says in the rules that if you guess something that is revealed before E3, that said guess won't count.

words words words words words

No, in the case of e3 bingo, it means you can't have two spaces that contradict each other to guarantee a check (One block says there will be a new DK, another says there won't be a new DK). That said, I'm not sure what the issue DJCoco is referring to.

* No negations (unless the negated event is likely to show up based on current information) In other words, you can guess against something thats strongly implied to be there, or even confirmed, but you can't guess against a specific thing you made up.
-Allowed: "Mario Odyssey will not show up".
-Not Allowed: "Super Mario: Fraggle Dance 65 will not show up".

Maybe a little nitpicky, but the way its worded it sounds like only leaks wouldn't count. And if this same information was again reiterated at E3 then it would count?

You're still not giving me a good reason besides "well it's called E3 Bingo ergo only E3 things should count because it's called E3 Bingo"

If the exact same problem could happen a week before E3 or a month before E3, then maybe consider a way to actually fix the problem. If the problem isn't the user's fault (and it really isn't) then it's a problem with the actual game itself.

I mean, again, I could make my card a month in advance, then have all of the squares invalidated four days before E3. I know it's a ridiculous example but it could happen. By your logic, I now do not have enough time to make a new one! How is this fair?

Also you say it's in the rules but there's an edit in the rules post dated after this whole debacle started. Do you have the original post? If I missed it originally, then that's fine, I should have paid more attention to it, but I still argue the rule itself is not a good one.

quotes

Can you just tell us what it is? Making additional quotes isn't helping anyone because I still can't see what he did on his card that breaks a rule.

Idk I feel like, since this isn't that big of a deal, then guesses that were confirmed at the direct (were there any, anyway?) should be checked off now. It fits with the spirit of the event: "guess what they're gonna reveal". Nintendo doing Directs kinda screws with E3 anyway.

then guesses that were confirmed at the direct (were there any, anyway?) should be checked off now.

... What? So a game that has you playing Bingo with things brought up at E3 shouldn't focus on E3? I don't get your logic.

And here I thought E3 Bingo was supposed to be fun and not taken too seriously

E3 Bingo has always been started a month in advanced because some people end up taking their time with it, and even if we did start it a week before E3, theres still a chance of a company revealing something, and even if they didn't, I guarantee you that people would be complaining that they didn't have enough time. Zero Kirby wrote: Well thanks for making the topic a whole month in advance and waiting until NOW to give us this pro-tip. Wanna drop the attitude? It says in the rules that if you guess something that is revealed before E3, that said guess won't count. Taking that into consideration, you could have waited to make your card. No one forced anyone to make their card day one, as, as I said before, it's posted early for the sake of giving people more than enough time. Zero Kirby wrote: It's just asking for things like this to happen. Start the topic the week before E3 so that these misunderstandings and card edits don't have to happen! Because no one would complain that they didn't have enough time if we did that. Starting it a month early gives people more than enough time to plan their card. If they do it early, they risk having to change a square or two, no big deal and certainly not worth throwing a fit over, where as if we give them a week, they risk not finishing their card, making them unable to enter AT ALL. Personally, I'd rather have to change a square then to not be able to enter.

i don't really understand if it's cheating if my one space is mother 3, which is notorious for not having been localized despite rumors of it having been translated officially been floating around for several years now, and it being finally confirmed means i win and if i don't i lose

Strictly speaking, winning Bingo requires (at least) four items on your list being correct. Yours only requires one. However, this entire affair is intentionally silly and I haven't the foggiest as to why anyone would get upset at that. It's hardly as if everyone else is going to cease filling out their sheets as soon as one person completes a set.

So if the information Zero Kirby has predicted is shown again in a new trailer or during gameplay footage on the floor, would that mean it would officially count at that point?

The original point of an E3 bingo was to analyze the conferences taking place there. Making it more complicated than that defeats the purpose and the fun of a bingo card.

Hmm, fair point. I suppose a better method would be that your don't have to change your card, but if your info isn't presented at E3, then you simply don't get to check off that spot as it didn't happen there.

By your logic, I now do not have enough time to make a new one! How is this fair? Like I just said in the quote to Syaxamaphone, I'm going to revise it to where basically if anything revealed in the month before E3 ALSO shows up at E3, it will count, however it HAS to show up at E3, because yes, this is E3 Bingo, it is sort of the key focus. That said, based on the original rule set, you wouldn't have to make a new one, those 4 that were invalidated simply wouldn't be checked off. Again though, due to the rule change, thats no longer an issue (provided it's still shown at E3).

If I missed it originally, then that's fine, I should have paid more attention to it, but I still argue the rule itself is not a good one. All I did was add a single thing "The only exception is if something is revealed that is tied directly to E3, for example, if a trailer is put on youtube designating it as their "official E3 trailer"." So basically, I added the thing I mentioned before with Syaxamaphone, although not as fleshed out, although I'm about to update it a bit more. DJ Coco wrote: quotes Can you just tell us what it is?

Post subject:	Re: MFGG E3 Bingo 2017
So yeah, since my last post is full of quotes and a bit hard to navigate, I'll make this post a bit easier. Basically, I want to know if people would be cool with this new rule. Simply put, if you have a guess on your card that is leaked/shown before E3, you DON'T have to change it, however you can't check it off either, at least not until E3 begins. If it's shown at E3, then you are good to go. This is E3 Bingo, so in the end, it's presence at E3 is a deciding factor. Also, I'll nip this in the bud now, it doesn't have to be a strong showing at E3 to count. What do I mean? Lets say you guessed that they'd show new ARMS characters at E3, well, they showed 3 new ones last night in a Direct, so as long as any one of those 3 show up at E3, you are free to check off that spot. On that note, I'd like to encourage people to play fair and not make a card full of leaked info at the last minute. One thing though, the other rules still apply, so if a company confirms a game WILL be shown at E3 within the month, a guess like "_____ will be shown" is still invalid. Would you all be cool with this set up? I mean, I know theres no perfect set up, but is this a better method?

Idk I feel like, since this isn't that big of a deal, then guesses that were confirmed at the direct (were there any, anyway?) should be checked off now. It fits with the spirit of the event: "guess what they're gonna reveal". Nintendo doing Directs kinda screws with E3 anyway.

Yeah, I could tick off "Callie shown" pretty much as she was shown to be the main antagonist in the artwork revealed at the end of the trailer.

So a game that has you playing Bingo with things brought up at E3 shouldn't focus on E3? I don't get your logic. At its core this is a game all about having fun predicting what'll be revealed. Yes, I get that part of that is that it is revealed at E3, but May has a lot of E3 hype and buildup and because nobody can predict what is going to happen, having a square shot down just because the prediction came true too early is disheartening and not fun. I want to have fun playing E3 Bingo, not worry about a developer having a surprise trailer in May that is disconnected from E3 ruining my board. That's not fun, that's frustrating, and I don't want to play a game that's frustrating. The new rule - as long as it's talked about at E3 it counts - hasn't changed anything. What if the developer puts the announcement in May and just says "welp that's enough, no E3 info for this game now." Nintendo could totally do that with Splatoon and Arms since they just had the Direct. Sucks to be you if you had Splatoon and Arms squares on your E3 Bingo board! Plus now we have even more rules for a forum game! The terms and conditions of this thing are so complicated when it could just be summed up as "make 24 squares by date X, no obvious ones, no contradicting squares, no already revealed info" But whatever. I'm just gonna take my advice from earlier in the topic: A smarter wiser me wrote: And here I thought E3 Bingo was supposed to be fun and not taken too seriously And I'll just shut up from this point on. You're never changing your mind about this so I'm not gonna bother trying anymore.

Really it's honestly not a big deal. I'm surprised people are getting up in arms. But also I guess I'm a bit surprised that we haven't settled for lumping in the Direct with E3 yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Post subject:	Re: MFGG E3 Bingo 2017
Perhaps next year (or now if you like) we settle on an "E3 Window" much like how consoles have a release window. The window can be 1 month exactly prior to E3, you can create your bingo card on that date (or earlier), but only things that happen in the month leading to E3 and E3 itself will count, including pre-E3 announcements or trailers, and leaks within this window count ONLY if they're confirmed at E3 itself.
