Gemp currently has preset Daily Tournaments for Fellowship and Movie formats, which require you to use decks built from your "My Cards" collection. The way it works, is the tournament occurs at the same time each day, so everyone who wants to participate knows exactly when to show up.

I would really like to have Daily Tournaments for MY favorite format, Expanded Format. Expanded is just as popular as Movie, and the two are collectively tied for 2nd place in terms of the formats most-played on Gemp. Only Fellowship is more popular than Expanded or Movie. I would prefer an "All Cards" Daily Tournament, but in a pinch I'd take a "My Cards" Tournament if that were the only option offered.

Who else would like to have Daily Expanded Tournaments?

I'd say, the more tournament options, the better.

I won't play (Madril), but for those who want to, it would be a nice addition.

I'm not interested, but dont mind it if its in addition to the existing Dailys (maybe in some other time of the day), not in the place of one.

Don't know why it would be in the place of one. I'm certainly talking about in addition to!

Hmmm. Perhaps I should have asked who does not want Daily Expanded tournaments, and why.

Obviously some people aren't going to be interested in playing them, because we don't all like the same thing.

But why not have them, for those of us that like them?

As far as I can tell, it's completely automated once it's set up.

I saw new expanded daily in the schedule for tommorrow , but iy's in the same time with the others.
Is that for real? I don't think it will be succesfull like that.
We are already few participating in dailies, 2 at the same time won't happen easily, so we ll have to choose which one to play (and I guess we ll choose old ones as we have decks already)

I think it's fair enough.  I don't particularly like the dailies-too many people have already made their decks too good and signing up just to drop is silly.  You don't want the merchant to be throwing cards at players who happen to be free at those times (potentially 6 boosters a day if you compete in all 3 dailies, coming 8th each time).  It'll just widen the gap.

Personally I'd prefer it if the dailies were sealed competitions: you get to choose a starter and are given some boosters, then have 5-10 minutes to make a deck.  I can imagine they'd be really popular.  To be honest I don't care if they're the dailies, but I would like it if there was some way of doing a competition like that on Gemp (casual, not just the leagues).  Probably hard to programme, though.

+1 for Sealed Dailys.

Expanded Dailys are fail so far. But lets give them some time. If no one ever plays in them, i would like another Fellowship Daily(S) in their place but in different time zones, as its the most popular format, and as mentioned current starting times are not very convenient for some people. (thats it if Sealed Dailys are not possible, otherwise Sealed Daily all the way)

Is that for real? I don't think it will be succesfull like that.

Depends on how much crossover there is between formats. I personally play almost nothing other than Expanded.

We are already few participating in dailies, 2 at the same time won't happen easily,

Well, for those of us who pretty much only play expanded, that should be more people doing the dailies than were previously. However, I could see an advantage to spacing them out a bit. Maybe an hour between start times?

so we ll have to choose which one to play (and I guess we ll choose old ones as we have decks already)

Well, that depends on whether you think you have an advantage or not. currently the playing field in Expanded Dailies should be more level than the playing field in the other Dailies. It also depends on what formats you like playing the most. I enjoy Expanded far more than the other formats. Of course, I know other people don't have the same preferences.

I don't particularly like the dailies-too many people have already made their decks too good and signing up just to drop is silly.

That shouldn't be the case for Expanded Dailies, as they've only just started, and MarcinS recently reset all the gold and "My Cards" collections.

You don't want the merchant to be throwing cards at players who happen to be free at those times (potentially 6 boosters a day if you compete in all 3 dailies, coming 8th each time).  It'll just widen the gap.

Maybe that's why they're scheduled for the same times, so you can't compete in all three and get six boosters a day. I must say, I'm a bit surprise that even the person in last place gets a prize though!

Personally I'd prefer it if the dailies were sealed competitions: you get to choose a starter and are given some boosters, then have 5-10 minutes to make a deck.  I can imagine they'd be really popular.

That sounds like a good idea too, actually.

To me, the only thing that hasn't worked at all, are the "regular" tournaments that don't have pre-arranged starting times. I never see anyone get enough people together to use that feature... except for occaaaaaaaaasionally Fellowship, which is the most popular format on Gemp.

To be honest I don't care if they're the dailies, but I would like it if there was some way of doing a competition like that on Gemp (casual, not just the leagues).  Probably hard to programme, though.

I wish that regular Gemp users could schedule a tournament ahead of time, so that everyone who visits Gemp would know ahead of time when it would start, and thus when to make enough time available to play it.

Expanded Dailys are fail so far. But lets give them some time.

Indeed. They've only been up for a few days, after all. Many players I've talked to weren't even aware they existed.

If no one ever plays in them, i would like another Fellowship Daily(S) in their place but in different time zones, as its the most popular format,

The three most popular formats on Gemp are Fellowship, and then Movie and Expanded tied for second most popular. For variety, and for the preferred tastes of the players on Gemp, there should be Daily tournaments for all three formats. I don't mind if MarcinS wants to add another Daily Fellowship, but I see no reason why there would be a need to eliminate Daily Expanded.
