Vancouver games will begin as soon as I get a day of workig less than 15 hours!
Edit: Thursday night. Well, I only worked 10 hours today, so I guess I have to try and keep my promise and get these games out tonight...

*Note: for those who haven't noticed, not only is shakeycat one of the mapmakers who sent me suggested settings for her map, but she is also the only one who accepted my invitation to come and play on it. Thank you one more time, shakey, for honouring us with your presence! The rest of you say "thanks for a great map!" to shakey when you meet her in your games.Dukasaur wrote: Leaving the St. Lawrence behind, we fly across three time zones to Canada's west coast, and the city of Vancouver. 40 players will arrive, but only 30 will go on to the next city. The rest will go out to the Island and enjoy picking mushrooms in the park!
I PM'd all the map creators to ask their suggested settings for these maps, although only about half answered me. shakeycat* was one of those, and her suggestions for this map are Escalating Automatic Foggy Terminator, with not less than four players and preferably more. Consequently each player will play in:
One 4-player Automatic Escalating Chained Foggy Terminator game
Two 8-player Automatic Escalating Chained Foggy Terminator games
All three Terminator games score 1 point for each kill, 1 extra point for winning the game, 2 extra points for being the last non-winner terminated, and 1 extra point for being the 2nd last non-winner terminated.
And for balance we go to the other extreme from shakeycat's suggestions:
One 1v1 Manual Nuclear Adjacent Sunny Standard game, 3 points to the winner.
5 points awarded for the "colour and flavour" bonus. (Superseded... see C&F updates here.
Maximum possible: 28 points
It stands as an unchallenged icon for the future of journalism! I'm told the NFB is planning a documentary using your essay as a basic outline for the script.DoomYoshi wrote:It seems as if most people agreed with my essay. They thought there was nothing they could add.

Well, if you go back to Montreal, the standard games were scored as follows:DoomYoshi wrote:Perhaps this is a bit late to bring up, but why does the last non-winner get 2 points, and the winner also gets 2 points (1 for the win and 1 for the final kill).Dukasaur wrote:(Post #2)

My first thought was to score the Terminator games by kills only, but then I thought, "no, they're somewhat different but not entirely different from Standard games." So, that system is meant to be a bit of a bridge to the way the Standard games were scored. Not a true compromise, but a segue perhaps.Dukasaur wrote:Each of the standard games scored by ranking: 6 points to the winner, 5 points to the 2nd place finisher, etc., all the way down to zero points for the first person eliminated.
Well, it is possible for player 2 to score the same as player 1, if player 2 is his only kill, but that only happens once in a while. In most cases, the winner will have several kills.DoomYoshi wrote:I realize it's a segue, but player 2 scores the same as player 1. In Escalators, it's most likely that the final kill is not player 1's only kill, but the last player eliminated shouldn't get such a large bonus. It is probably too late to change it now, but for future that scoring system has a slight flaw.
I finally got some spare time and watched all the videos.macbone wrote: "Gassy Jack" video from the Evaporators: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBbKle1lrLc
The music is actually not that bad, and again, these guys are pretty much run-of-the-mill Vancouverites, including an appearance from a member of Alpha Flight.
Dal Richards is a musician and a big-band leader in Vancouver. He's a legend in jazz and swing, and at 92, he still performs and hosts a radio show. Here's one of his performances, courtesy of YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0EDTZFuup0
As a Boner myself, I dig jazz and swing, and I can chill to this man's music all day long. Thanks for the hookup, Duk! (However, I could do without the white dude singing the blues. Please.)

And thanks, nagerous! Thanks to you, too, Dukasaur, for teaching me something about Vancouver.nagerous wrote:The results are in for the round 2 contest!

You were the first to respond to the C&F questions, so you scored the minimum 1 point. You didn't really do anything with your answers, just basically cut-and-paste from wikipedia or something similar, so you didn't get any more than 1.GreenBaize wrote:I'm to lazy to go back and read most of the forum, so can you please tell me what i got 1 point for, thanks
