My change would be this:
1. Everyone is assigned a number (i.e. your ranking in the high scores since we are all on top anyways)
2. Hunt people in order starting with the number after you, working your way down and then looping back around to your number.
3. You get a set amount of skips. Used for less active members of just can't seem to beat that certain person. You can go over those set skips but they cost you points. Each person is given a point value by position in the high scores chart or presitge they may have in HMW. Things like that. If you skip that person and you are all out of skips, you lose half of their point value rounded up.
OR
Just assign people point numbers like before, but just have a free for all and see who accumulates the most points. You win a battle, you get their point value. You lose the battle, you lose half of their point value. You shut them out, you get double their point value. They shut you out, you lose their point value. You can go negative. Honor system would be in effect because I'm sure no one would want to count everyones up.

I like those ideas, i'd be up for one of them.

Each player gets a number and the idea is to hunt each one in numarical order, naturally those on your faction are like freebies.

I like.

How about a race to get either 30 different kills or 15 subsequent numbers (skipping those of own faction) using those ideas above?

Someone just needs to copy across the top 47 of the highscore charts, then we'll have our numbers.

aaaaand much like the murderball mini-tourney i'm gonna sit this collection mini-tourney out as well. Not enough time in the day for me to keep track of all of those stats haha,.....with a 7 week old I'm lucky enough to have the spare time once, twice, or primus willing three times a day to throw some bots in missions and the arena.

I think I'll just wait until SPL 3 or HMW2 or whatever incarnation this one turns into happens.

(although for you factions NOT autobot,...I will still be attending the arena as much as possible with Entropy to either brighten your day with a win,...OR crush you in defeat and force you to lose points muhahahaha, i just won't keep track of my own scores)

toodles! heh

Eh, after today, I'm planning on taking a break from HMW. I'm getting so busy with other things that I dont have time for this, and I'll be sitting and waiting until SPL 3 comes around.

Are we still alowed to change our stats?

News Credits: 42 · by **Psychout** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 11:02 am

Yep. You can reset and change your armour/weapons/stats all you want, as long as you don't leave L7.

Its only when the league is on that you cant reset, at any other time you can reset all you want.

You got very lucky in this bout. Courage is extremely important. As you continue to play with this config, you will see that will not win a majority of the time.

Doesn't look like it's going to do to well with almost no defense.

How do I have no defense? If it's armor, I'm pretty much broke.
EDIT: nevermind. I'm installing the lowest qualaty armor.

Endurance cuts down tactic damage. Not a lot, but a little bit can help. Which is why ROS complaining about the pointlessness of armor is pointless. Not every attack is a tactic, and without armor, a 10 str brawler, or a incredible hit from a gun is going to do a lot of damage, and take you out that much faster.

I never said armor was pointless. Had I known armor did not work against tactics I would not have invested 1 mil in energon to get L10 armor. In hindsight, I believe L9 armor would have been sufficient for L6 and L7 bouts and I could have saved a lot of cash, as it is half the price. The difference between L10 and L9 armor appeared to be only 1 to 2 percentage points of damage on each attack. I should have had L9 armor and L10 courage instead of the other way around. But, as I have said numerous times now, it is too expensive for me to reset. Live and learn.

Pre-reset Steve ran around with 10 tons of Electum on Strongbot and he pretty pretty much dominated everything. Instead of looking at it as a waste, think of it as saving the half million you would have spent on the level 8/9 rank armor that you would have had to uninstall later if the SPL goes up higher in levels.

Just to give you guys a heads up - work has been a bit intense recently to allow me the time to count up the full results of the last round, and I don't think ill have time to count up this round befroe I go away tomorrow so the scores will be delayed for a minimum of another week.

Apologies for the inconvenience, ill see if I can get it done tonight, but it really doesnt look very likely. If anyone's able to give me a hand, the please drop me a PM...

That's okay, i don't really care since i got clobbered again

by **vaporretarder** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 12:48 pm

I'm patiently awaiting the results, I wasn't around as much as I would have liked, but for when I WAS around I did pretty well for myself (except against name_violation, every bout against that guy ended badly for me haha)

I think I had to have made it into at least the top 10....maybe top 12 at the very least (didn't keep a record of my losses though, but from my recollection I had maybe 2/3 or 3/4 were wins) :-?
