EroPets tourney. Wishes and lessons learned

Hey dear pets and masters. :)

Feel free to post your wishes and ideas for EroPets here and we will consider to implement them into the tourney.

When I put my hand out facing down, I would expect my pet to come get head pats. But only if you pay, one pat for one clothing.

Team identity and storytelling ! \o/

Have each team choose a team name, a motto, an emblem, etc… or even a starting RP !
That could be done with a "character" listing every member of the team, their role (if there is like a hierarchy :3), the team's goal or origin, the punishments they all had to endure between each round, etc… whatever people want it to be !

More team identity = more fun when it comes to clashing against one another, and being claimed as a pet ! ;)
Could even be used as excuses for punishment or RP : like for example breaking a bratty pet too loyal to their previous owner/cause, seducing them into embracing their new owner, punishing a pet that gave them trouble last round, etc… anything goes ;)

And/or alternatively, have a bonus reward for people who made their team the most unique, fun, or interesting to follow, even if they get eliminated in the middle of the tournament.

All optional of course, but since the teams are such a huge part of Eropets and implies such a time investiment from their Master/Mistress, I think that kind of creativity should be encouraged ! ;)

Good points, Silv.
We have tried to add some encouragements in the punishment system.
Also we will have a roleplay section at the EF discord especialy for the Eropets tourney (comparable like the one for TWR).
In the end its the task of the players to create a narrative but i am sure that we will have enough stages to do so. 😊

First off, let me say thank you everyone that was working behind the scenes for this. This being my first tournament it was a little overwhelming with the pressure. The staff making constant communication was extremely helpful with updates getting up to it. I noticed that at the end the updates did get a bit less frequent when following along. My first suggestion would be a match recording spot. I know it is an ask, but just trying to alleviate some of the responsibilities from the staff.

I did enjoy the idea of IRL punishments. Super fun! It did seem people were not sharing as much thou, which was disappointing. I suspect it may be the list of punishments were not to the pets liking or limits. What I would suggest is leave them at the themes that were outlined. That was super fun! Knowing that a pet would be punished based on a kink and seeing how it would effect moving forward. This may also encourage pets to write what they had to do. Instead of just following the determined task.

One last thing, this may have been just a me thing…. Outline the match structure when people are signing up. All we knew was that we had to be skilled in all match types. This was intimidating to me. I know I am comfortable with some match types but being unexperienced fighter against some of EroFights best can be scary.

Just to summarize, love the idea of EroPets. Master and Pet going through a tournament together and if you lose you are punished with IRL and kept going. Things to learn from. IRL can be scary. Not wanting to disappoint but also respecting limits is tricky which makes this type of tournament unique. I hope to see it return again, hopefully learning from everyone's experience. Thank you all again behind the scenes and that participated!

Hey Rey

Thanks for your lovely contribution. 🥰
Lets dive right in so i dont misunderstand details.

1. Match recording spot.
   I am not sure if i understand. The logs of matches are public and are also shared in the tourney log section of discord. What can we improve here? 🤔

2. Irl punishments - leave pets at the themes that were outlined.
   I cant follow. We tried to find one or more punishments for each possible kink. The pets were allowed to pick for themselfs so nobody would feel overwhelmed.
   Is your suggestion to leave the punishment more vague? Maybe you could formulate a punishment as an example.

3. Outlining match structure.
   You would have prefered to know beforehand which matches will occur?
   So in an ideal world the matches would be announced before the tourney started?
   Example: 1st round classic, master1 vs master2.
   Hentai pet 1 vs pet2.
   Like this?

Hey, sorry probably bad at explaining.

-1. Like for example the last 2 rounds where the teams were growing logs were not being posted(not sure why) so I was finding myself asking what the match record was(ie 2-1?, 1-1?).

-2. Well this is speaking solely from my experience. When a pet lost they would ask the winner to choose the punishment to go along with the theme (loved the aspect of that too). However because they were specific limits would sometimes get in the way. So that being said, I would formulate it like how you did with the kinks (Edges), (Denial), (Forced orgasms), ect but then write the scenario.

Example: (Edges) You were defeated in battle and worst of all you disappointed your master. The defeat leaves you powerless as your opponent knows they have to start to break you in. What better way then to get you nice and horny on their terms.

Then from here the victory can decide how many edges over how long would be good. Of course obeying limits. Instead of a 'fixed' number in the list.

-3. Close but not quite. More just the amount of matches. I know if it was done again it would probably be the same but like this:

Round 1 consists of: two classic matches, tie breaker hentai mode
Round 2 consists of: Classic, Hentai, Classic
Round 3 consists of: Wrestling, Hentai, Classic, Hentai, Wrestling

Just to give notice to newcomers.

I hope this answers. If I need to explain more feel free to dm as well.
Thank you for your consideration!

No need to appologize, a valid part is always lost in translation on my end. ;)

So lets break this down here so everybody can add their oppinion.

1. Losing overview about the current score.
   First of all it was our/organizers fault because we haven't asked players instantly enough to post their logs. Also we weren't consequent enough with updating the brackets/ scoreboard.
   Second of all: If people don't post their logs like they were told, that info may get lost in the process. 🤗

2. Letting the winner chose a punishment as a default is difficult because sensitive people may feel pushed/ overwhelmed.
   Confident people can always take initiative and alter such a rule by themselfs if they like. That doesn't hurt anybody. Other way around : difficult.
   Almost the same about scenario based punishments. Every player has the absolut freedom to flesh out any rule/ punishment with extensive roleplay but a good rule/ punishment that has to work for ALL players is as short, fair and comparable as possible.
   Imagine having to work through 10 pages of punishments just because each of them describes a scenario. ;)

3) The ammount and modes for the matches where known, maybe not communicated perfectly.
Every player has to play once each round at least. 1st round classic, 2cond round adds hentai, 3rd round adds wrestling.
For future tourneys we'll have to visualize it better. 😊
