5 - Only kills made in Missions count. Post the link with the TIME of the kill.
some people on both sides need to follow the rules.
i know going threw all the missions that have no TIME STAMP of kills as of now would be a PAIN in the A$$,so give kaijubot_uk a break and update your KILL times/chart PLZ.

Oddly, I didnt find the timestamps helped on my alt hunt, I found remembering the target's name, remembering the killer's name, rembering to check if its the correct alt, AND remembering the time stamp too much, so I just remembered the rest, and searched down the page until I found the charecter's death.

You are one suicidal little stinker to go after my bots boldly like that, Grimmy...

I'm no easy pickings for you, that's for sure.

Edit: Kaiju, I did a minor totaling of targets for each side... did you know that there are roughly 60 bot animals whereas there are only 27 con animals?

That's a startling lopsided balance, little wonder why they get kills alot... *whistle*

It's not all plain sailing for the cons. Until I lvled two of my guys down to lvl 4, I managed one (flukie) kill...

I noticed that. This is the Kamikaze style.

I would have changed the rules to make kills made by hunted transformers worth double points. I think that would balance balance out chances.

[Kaijubot]

Yes, I'm aware of the imbalance. I've moaned about it in a couple of threads (This one included).

Personally I feel that the best method of balancing things out is to simply make all the Con targets worth two points, with Psychout's minions being worth 3.

Does anyone object to a major rules change part way through the hunt? Or should I simply make a note of it for when(if) I run another?

[Psychout]

Tell ya what, ill even add a target.

Dark Spark has been killed (again) and in her place returns the XP Whore of babylon; Death Eater

Come get some...

[Chaoslock]

Okay, two more targets from my team:

Kingsoul now in batman costume!

And Zewcon in his wolf mode (originally it's his bot mode).

[Psychout]

Kaiju, if there are only half the number of con targets, then by all means double the points.

Maybe there's another way: Make the trophies made by hunted bots worth 2 (or 3) points

Honestly, I dont think that'd proove much fairer.
I suspect you've realised why no one has done a hunt quite like this one before.

I much prefere the double points for a target taking out a target idea (something I was sorly tempted to impliment in my last hunt, and WILL implement in the next one should I do another one).

Anyway, it is not generally a good idea to change such fundimental rules during the event. Its worth thinking about for next time, but any changes DURING the hunt will just lead to whoever they adversly effect getting rather angry.

If I remember I'll try and post the missions with my targets in this thread, which'll help.

EDIT: Torchwood can befound HERE (lvl 5 only, 13 mins).

[Psychout]

Meh, im happy to have the scores doubled (or added to in my case)

If ES's maths is right (im too lazy to check) roughly 30 vs roughly 60 should mean that we need twice as many as them to win.

[Redimus]

Elita Nemesis is HERE (3-4, 36mins).

Elita Nemesis is HERE (lvl 4, 22mins).

8 - Being killed by your own Kremzeek does not count as a valid kill.

So, if our Kremzeek kills one of our teammates, does that count as a valid kill?

No.

OK, confession time. My real life feels like hell at the moment, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could take over running this. I just don't have the energy to deal with the note taking and counting.

Also, judging from the claims thread, evening offering double points for all cons probably wouldn't help the autobots win.

[Redimus]

As long as peeps dont mind me still playing (and hopefully winning ) I dont mind taking over kaijubot.

EDIT: Although if I did take over, the end of the hunt would either have to be shortened or prolonged, as i'll be at work (and therefore away from a pc) at midday on the Saterday.

Ideally it needs to be someone who doesn't mind not being able to win. But since its basically just a a job of counting up all the results, I won't object if no one else volunteers.

[Archanubis]

Gah! It's so annoying that my guys haven't landed a kill all day! I wouldn't mind it so much if I wasn't losing the kills to players who aren't participating in the hunt!
