SCALPHUNT - Discussion thread (w/updated scores)

Postby Tammuz » Sun Dec 21, 2008 6:46 pm

THE HUNT IS ON!
Please post your scalps in this thread

Tammuz wrote:Image

Imagine someone who hates you with the utmost intensity, grabbing the top of your cranium while you're lying prostrate and helpless, then scraping the dull edge of a battle blade around your kneck with a saw like motion, and let your imagination grasp, if you can hunters, the effect of a strong quick jerk on the top of your skull, to release any clinging particles, would have on your nervous system. You'll have some idea how it feels to be scalped.


The Basic Premise

This is an old game, Players sign up to take part, everyone whose signed up's teams are targets, who ever can land the finishing blow on the most targets, and thus Scalp them, is the winner

Provisional Rules

Starting Mission# - http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=267467
Ending Mission# - TBA (~02.01.09 23:59GMT)

only scalps in missions count.

Collecting Scalps - your TF must land a Blow which results in the stasis locking of a fellow contending Players TF, you must post a link with the time stamp of who stasis locks whom. unposted scalps do not count

If you scalp the same TF multiple times you may claim it multiple times

if you scalp multiple TFs in a single mission, you can claim once for each TF scalped in that mission

you cannot scalp the same TF twice in a single mission

You cannot scalp yourself.

Hunting parties
hunting parties may be made up of up to 3 commanders

Hunting parties must be announced prior to the start of the hunt(with a name)

Hunting parties may be cross factional

you cannont scalp memebers of your own hunting parties

parties will be treated exactly as if they where a single entity, so while the 3-man team will likely score 3 times as much as a single player, they're liable to be scalped in turn three times as much, with the penalty that they'll also have up to 24 less targets

scalps collected against you (i.e. a contending player has stasis locked one of your bots) should not be posted, it's up to the player to claim them, whether you remind them or not is up to you

Scoring

I will Post a Scoreing thread at the start of the tournie, please edit ONE post to contain all of your scalp claims, and keep spamming to the minimum

From the scores each player/team/faction will have there scalp ratio calculated, this is simply the number of scalps they have divided by the number of times thay have been scalped.


Winning
the winner will be the Player/faction/team with the highest scalping ratio over the period of the hunt, and shall earn the title of Scalpmaster. The worst scoring player shall be mocked for being Bald. I'll prolly hand out prize sigs based of the above LSD art

and we have campaign badges & ribbons for the ranked player/team;
ImageImageImage
Image Image Image


the current Scalpmaster is Hoistimus


anyone care to inform me what the advantage of having cross factional teams is?

EDIT: Provisional scores, tallied by Red

  1. +212 - Galvatron Supreme
  2. +76 - Team Heart Attack (neliz, slip, Clock, nick)
  3. +23 - ODB HMW Mega-Alliance (Chron, Elec, N_V)
  4. +12 - Omega Charge
  5. +3 - Editor
  6. 0 - Rogue Agent
  7. -1 - Netminder
  8. -7 - SymbiotSpiderman14
  9. -8 - Lord Gothika
  10. -11 - Midget Mayhem (Tam, Psych)
  11. -11 - Judge Chuckachu
  12. -17 - Alldarker
  13. -20 - The Dragon and the Drunk (JP, Arch)
  14. -24 - The {Rage Bot}
  15. -32 - Raphael Prime
  16. -51 - Team Awesome (FE, Loki, AZ)
  17. -55 - Deephaze
  18. -74 - Psychomud

More targets that can be listed?

For example, I can apparently only target Bots, Preds, and Maximals

My partner can target Bots, Cons, and Maximals.

Together, we can claim scalps across all four factions. Unless that's not legal.

Entry closed 24 hours ago, and had been open for a week prior, and this event has been on the tables for 6 weeks prior to that. i think i've given people fair warning to get signed up if they wanted in.

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=267510 - 15min

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=267509 - 15min

And :BOT:s should apply here:

Probably yours on that one, as i see you've already got one posted(unless someone posts a mission with an earlier number than that one.)

Can i also get a small quick clarification? "if you scalp multiple TFs in a single mission, you can claim once for each TF scalped in that mission" This mean we can only select one of the multiple bots to claim? or all the multiple scalps collected in the same mission?(just wanting to make sure and double check)

edit: And good luck to all.

It occurs to me that it probably should be mentioned that the profile names on teams some players, myself included, don't match up to the profile names in the forums.

yeah, where i noticed i think i used the HMW player name on the score sheet, though i don't think LG did when he posted the list,

i think The {rage bot} (Hellraiser 44 ingame) is the only other one though, right?

EDIT: and pRedimus/Fearless Echoes


also does anyone want a General Participation badge/ribbon, and what little icon should I use for it?

Ok thanks. I just thought of one more(sorry haha) what about outcomes? must you survive the mission? or can you claim and not survive?(i didn't see it on the list of rules so i'm assuming it's the latter)

I hope it's fair to claim that I'm the one drawing..

first blood

?

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=267467

At 2:30 I hit Vitea Mortis.
since this is the first mission and that was the first Scalp hunt related kill, I'd like to claim the "First Blood" Tag.

Another advantage is you can kill steal an opposing teammate, like I can kill a single-digit hp Slip before another Autobot does. :twisted:

Man, tidy scorekeeping is a pain in the end.
