The Energon Pub

(doubleposted so its at the top of the page)

The scorethread is now closed.

Ill be using Burn's estimate of 104600 (thanks dude) as the cut off point, so any result logged with a higher number than that will not be counted.

Apologies for the delay, 'tis the risk of games like this being run by a mere mortal (even if it is me). I hope you all enjoyed the extended 2nd round if the SPL and I ask you to be patient while I go through the arduous task of tabling up to 3,500 results...

You are now free to reset and change your configs all you want, but you must stay at L7.
If anyone has an idea for the open game whilst we count everything up, please feel free to make a suggestion. We have a few ideas and Lightblade has given us a good suggestion, but all ideas are appreciated. you have 24 hours to make your ideas heard...

We could just reset everyone back to the team averages and take a few week's break and hope we get an announcement from Ryan and make plans from there ...

Or we could just play "Kick Archie and Eep in the nuts". That works for me.

Will we be seeing a scoresheet with the standings?

I say let us revert back to our previous levels until the game kicks back on again....

We will see a scoresheet when everything is counted by Psychout.

I say more death and destruction until everything is set in stone. Then put our guys back into our squads or reset or whatever is going to be done when the behind the scenes is complete.

And no kicking EP in the nuts.

I agree with EP, except for the not kicking him in the nuts.

The suspense is killing me. I hope it lasts.

But to actually add something to the discussion, I would like them reverted unless another round is going to be starting soonish, in which case do all the changing at once.

What I'm suggesting is if any of you have an idea for a mini-game/hunt/tournery, or another way to continue the fun in the arena at L7, then feel free to make suggestions.

There is a round 3 in thw works but its probably best that we wait find out what happening with the game before we make any concrete plans, so I'm letting you decide - we can return you back to the levels you came from or we can play a different type of game at L7.

Its your call...

Granted I have'nt been playing that much of late I vote to kick EP in the nuts and then go for the concensus

Best idea I have at the moment would be to revive the Safari Hunt tournament I once ran. Basic concept is the G1 factions hunting the Beast factions; hunting is not a safe sport on Cybertron.

Man, the ONLY way i'd revert is if I can get the energon back I spent on armor. That's not going to happen since we have no admin that can give us energon.

So i say we just hash it out...i need to get some payback on some people!!

Polution and global warming are at an all time high.
Tired of that old clunker?
The Beast factions have gone green, and would like you to help get as many older model cars trucks, tanks, and planes off the road. and out of the sky.
Just 1 autobot or decepticon off the road saves enough power to power a Las Vegas for 2 years.

Please Do your part to preserve the planet for our children.

operators are standing by..

i like the safari idea.

If you *have* to reset out charecters, can we at least keep the xp we've earnt this round?

Cuase Uni M *was* my second highest charecter, and if he's dragged down to his old XP, he'll be my lowest charecter by now. I know I may sound a little anal about this, but I have exactly *no* faith in anything new of good happening as far as a 'v2' is concerned. We've been there, seen that, and got the t-shirt, and no matter who Seibs announces, and what he announces is gonna be done, I do not for one second beleive it, and as such wann keep my goddamn xp.

Otherwise, I'll just keep flinging Uni M in the arena, hell, the missions are so bloodly pointless right now, it makes no diference from the rest of my team. Depressing I know.

If we go down, I'd at least like to keep Rikou ahead of Exia as he had been before the SPL. She's gained 150-200k since then.

As for what to do in the mean time, how about another round of Murderball?

That is the issue I have with a reset. My armor cost me 1 mil. in energon.

Man, didn't take long for the doom and gloom talk to get underway.

News Credits: 3 · by **Name_Violation** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:24 pm

whats with all the reset talk?

leave the damn things alone, maybe let us make level 8s with the xp and have an arena bot. missions are crap any way most of the time imho.

now lets quit bitchin and think of a new minigame

by **Spectral Dragon** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 4:05 am

Here's an idea for a mini game. The person who can rack up the most losses in 2 weeks wins. Or possibly set up the scoring system to be the reverse of round two's.
IE
You get no exp/energon = 3 pts
You lose = 2 pts
you win = 0 points

I just figured it'd be something different that the lvl 7's could do.

*edited to add something*

I just had a thought. Not everyone could afford the repair bills for very long, and due to that I suggest a second build be submitted with the first so folks can get switch to the second build when they need the cash. Maybe have it mod controlled so noone switches on a whim and throws a monkey wrench into things.

That's just **** brilliant. I love it. :lol:

what the hell are you talking about? no. bad. do not want

News Credits: 42 · by **Psychout** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 11:19 am

We can play another round of Muderball if you want, but the last game took a while to play out so I figured I'd let you guys make an alternate suggestion.

Kaiju's hunt suggestion and the other related ideas are looking good, but as im still scoring up the SPL I wont be able to keep track of it for you, so you guys will need to find a way to do that between you...

Like I said though, all ideas are welcomed and considered. Spectral Dragon's suggestion especially is hilarious!

I want to call it by the numbers.

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

Like Evolution Prime on Facebook · by **Evolution Prime** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 1:51 pm

I like that idea.

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.

OR

Start the "I Kicked/Punched Devastator/Evolution Prime in the Nuts Club". Any punch or kick that results in the stasis lock of Galvatron Supreme's Devastator or Evolution Prime's namesake gets 5 points. Any punch or kick by them that results in your stasis lock, they get 5 points. Most points wins.
