Can I make this even worse for you?

I was more happy seeing you waiting in the arena than seeing Light Blade.

*sniff, sniff* Burn...That really hurt dude, I'm bleeding on the inside :sad:

Name_Violation wrote:EDIT* turns out I have like 10 more losses than Light Blade

I hadn't put up all my losses before HMW went offline... had about 3 or 4 to add

Lucky we got the scores done isn't it? Once you guys decide how you want them counted ill show you all who won...

[spolier]
It isn't Lightblade
[/spoiler]

I though I had this tournament in the bag... I'm genuinely surprised, maybe, possibly, not really.

Psychout wrote: the real sportsmanship award is currently going to Lightblade who has logged every single loss he has had so far, and still made his post easy to read.

I claim this award in the name of Mars! (is this one of those "your all winners in your own special way" awards?)

I'd probably vote for automatic tallying

Tue Jun 02, 2009 2:16 pm

Doesn't matter to me. I know some didn't post all their losses but other went to the trouble to post everything.

I'll just go with automatic. I have my manual one already calculated out.

Tue Jun 02, 2009 2:38 pm

Manual.

And i'll have u know i wasn't anyone's whipping boy....now Sustain on the other hand... :lol:

Tue Jun 02, 2009 3:11 pm

I know who won!

And i'm very glad it was this particular person, a REAL soldier, shuts up and gets the job done and doesn't beat their chest while doing it.

Though they will no doubt be beating their chest when it is announced, but hey, it's well deserved.

oh and ... REDIMUS!

We had the game shut down again during a contest I was helping run. I've still got it.

Sorry guys, that train has sailed and its all been counted up, I just need you to tell me which set of results you want to dictate the winner. Its 3-1 to automated at the moment.

If its any help, there are more names on the auto-generated list as those who didnt list their losses are excluded from the manual list...

Tue Jun 02, 2009 4:37 pm

Automatic is probably the best way to go. People naturally have a disincentive to report their own losses, either intentionally or not.

There should be a minimum amount of bouts one has to play to qualify. Otherwise, one could play two or three times, get lucky, and have a score that does not statistically reflect how well their chosen stats would have performed.

Definitely something to consider (though it seems that didn't happen this round which was good)

I'm thinking maybe 10 per week. So if the contest runs for two weeks they'd need a minimum of 20 bouts. I think that's fair to those who only play either at home or at work, it's not hard to get in two bouts a day.

We are talking about life-long hmw addicts here, right? :roll:

I heartily agree with this sentiment; whichever scoring gives me the best score.

Actually, I'd say manual scoring, as long as it's double checked (at least).

Tue Jun 02, 2009 6:11 pm

I'd say automatic tallying will work for me

Congrats to everyone that scored highly, especially those who never get the chance to play at level 6 previously and still pulled in a great score, and thanks to those who came out of forum retirement to join in the fun - it was good to see you all again.

And, for the sake of argument, this is the spreadsheet I calculated it all on.
Yell if you need it explained or you think ive missed something, it also has the manual totals on it.

As soon as we know whats going on with HMW we'll advise you about the next round, but be prepared for what may be a fair old wait. Until then, thank you for playing!!

Are you saying I'm not a real soldier? :-x

Big talk coming from a punching bag.

I knew Spidey won before Psychout posted. I kept an eye on my rivals, though I thought I dropped out of second place. Besides, if I won, I couldn't still go by King of the Middlecards.

Congrats Spidey. We didn't match up often, but when we did, you were a worthy opponent. You most assuredly deserved the title. But you better be prepared to defend it if there's a round 2.

As does this. To me, at least, it proves that I could have held my own with the big boys of post reset.

Given that the king has decided that it's not worth the time to turn on, I doubt anything good will come from it unless page hits dry back up from not having the game up and running.

I had 88 battles. My name is RoS and I am a HMW addict.

The flaw in my stats was that I did not realize armor did not protect against tactics. I can't easily reset, as my armor cost me 1 mil energon. :cry:

Tue Jun 02, 2009 8:16 pm

WOOOHOOO NOT LAST WOOHOOO!!

now just have to ponder my config for the next round..... :-?

Let it be known, i shall have my revenge!!!

Eventually.

It's nice having a corner office where nobody can see what i'm doing, not if only i can keep IMIT off my back...

Nope. I know you're a real soldier, but he said one that knows how to shut up and not beat their chest. I thought maybe it was you, til the second half of that sentence

And congrats to Spidey.

Also a congrats to Kaiju and Rolltide(my fellow Maximals) for being high up there in the rankings.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Jun 02, 2009 10:08 pm

Thank You Thank You, but was there ever any doubt? I have superhero enhanced abilities from a symbiote who could compete with that.

Thanks to everyone who participated and organized this, it brought my interest back into the game. If we do have a round 2 I will be ready to defend my title :twisted:
