IACON competition

Postby Naked Magnus » Tue Oct 06, 2009 1:57 am

Hey,

The autobots are having their own competition. The winner will receive a **** ton of energon (courtesy of me). I thought I would post it here to give the cons a chance to put something together for themselves. It might be fun to have each faction group (good vs. evil) to have their own tournaments.

Post on this thread by October 20th 11:59 pm GMT to signup. The game will start on October 21st 12:00 am GMT and will last for two weeks.

The winner will be determined by the best single mission score using a scoring system that is outlined below. Bots/Maxis of all levels should have a shot at winning.

The prizes are:

1st place: 200,000
2nd place: 150,000
3rd place: 100,000
4th place: 50,000

The remaining 500,000 will be divided equally between all who register with and participate in the competition. To receive your portion of this energon, you MUST signup by the deadline and you MUST submit a mission score before the game ends. A thread will be created for submitting scores.


Here are the rules:

1) Point system:
Although a point system can be a pain in the ass to calculate, I think it is necessary in order to establish criteria that gives bots of all levels the opportunity to compete and win.

2) Single mission performance:
The winner will be determined based on the best single mission performed by a player, rather than taking the aggregate of missions over time. I don't have time to compute a bunch of scores. The point system will simply take too long for the individual players to calculate for each and every mission. Since only the best mission will be counted, if your bot does not score many kills for a given mission, you don't have to calculate the points for it. If your bot scores several kills, then you probably want to go ahead and calculate the points for it.

3) Kill-shot points:
Points are only accrued for kill-shots. Only kill-shots count. Even if you damaged a con down to %1 of life, if you do not score the kill-shot, it does not count.

4) Slingshot bonus:
If you score a kill with a slingshot, then you will receive a slingshot bonus. This will help the lower level bots even more, since they don't have access to powerful weapons anyway. The slingshot bonus DOES NOT COUNT if you score a kill using a tactic. Strafe and ramming kill-shots will not receive the slingshot bonus even if your bot happens to be armed with a slingshot. This will make things fair between strafers and rammers.


The points per kill-shot will be calculated as follows:

1) add 5 points
2) subtract your level
3) add the level of your opponent
4) add 5 points if slingshot was used to score the kill (excluding tactics)

Examples:

L0 kills an L2 WITH slingshot:

1) + 5 points
2) - 0 points
3) + 2 points
4) + 5 points
Total: 12 points


L4 kills an L2 WITHOUT slingshot:

1) + 5 points
2) - 4 points
3) + 2 points
4) + 0 points
Total: 3 points


This should level the playing field between higher and lower level bots.

A thread will be created for submitting scores. Please, only submit your best score at the end of the game to this thread. We can create another thread for banter, bragging, and game chatter. The format for submitting a score should include:

1) link to your mission
2) your level
3) number of bots killed for each level
4) If you used a slingshot
5) your score

Example:
1) http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=106191
2) 4
3) #L4=1 #L3=3 #L2=1 #L1=0 #L0=0
4) no
5) 20 points

Happy hunting!!!!
