Updates 11/02/13 - New Scoreboard, New Bot and more

[Dualta]

Thanks Blake. Got it now.

Excellent updates for sure. The scoreboard is very impressive. Can someone explain to me, however, how the lower profile range score is calculated, please? I'm assuming the higher score is the highest score ever achieved, but I'm not sure how to read the lower score.

Thanks in advance

It's the minimum and max score since 9/19/2013.

At the moment, my minimum is higher than everyone else's maximum, I think that achievement deserves a medal

Great improvements, hats down to the owner and his team for the hard work and great ideas!

[Teflon Kris]

Each month players will compete to be both the Monthly Leader and Most Improved, with great Medals and Conquer Credit prizes for the Top 10 in each category. This implements the spirit of a Suggestion originally made by Qwert.

Medals ???

Yes, it does, and you have already been awarded that medal.

Definitely not the lowest and highest score every achieved.
My current range stands at 1671-2125, while my lowest to highest store ever is 933-2406.

Forgive him, he's American. Americans do that stupid thing where they reverse the day and the month.

[cairnswk]

must say that i'm very impressed with the new scoreboard layout and the use made of the data

[takman2k]

Can I get a position too? Like in charge of holding up a BOLTED IN water fountain, or something?

[EagleofGreenErth]

Just curious.... noticed some players have "been awarded more than 30 medals for things such as tournament contribution and such. Their image still shows "XXX" but I think they are getting more than 30 to their medal count. Whats up with medals past 30 for people?

[D4 Damager]

Running scoreboard and monthly snapshots and prizes are really nice ideas, they will keep things fresh and encourage more newcomers.

Now go back and start it a month earlier so I can win 750 credits

Nope. I got 39 tourneys held i think and my medal count takes 30 into consideration. Look at the suggestions forum they will redesign something about it.
Also, like gilligan, i now have too many medal types for all of them to be displayed
And about that; can you explain the challenge medals? Is this going to be based on the scoreboards stuff, or will it be specific challenges like doomyoshi started running this year?

The medal cap was raised from 30 to 50 in the August 30th update: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=195248#p4271426

However, there is no graphic for medals between 30 and 50, so it just shows XXX. Also, it isn't retroactive, so only new medals earned after August 30th count.

A more permanent solution has been worked out in the Suggestions forum http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=535&t=196895#p4306696 With a bit of luck, it will be implemented soon.

The Entertainment Team will be working with DoomYoshi to run Official Challenges in the style of the unofficial challenges he ran in March, April, and May, and Challenge Medals will be awarded to people who meet the new Official Challenges.
Challenge Medals will not be awarded retroactively.
The details are still being worked out. Once they are, an announcement will be made to explain everything.

Is Saxibot any smarter than the first two bots? Oh, I'm not sure... depends on the map, maybe? Who designed the AI for these CC bots?

You guys should enable games against multiple bots, as done at http://www.victorsunited.com... if you have enough artificial intelligence code. Multiple bots tend to kill each other off before attacking a Human, at that site.... but it's always a challenge.

Well, it doubles the win ratio that Sassbot has...

[Vlasov]

So, you're saying that Saxibot is smarter than Sassbot?

[lackattack]

well i must say that i dont give applause to lackattack and el jefe,,but bigwham deserve applause.
So far he show quite big enthusiasm, and hes implementations its so fast, that this its one big positive move

I have to agree with you Qwert, bigwham is making me look bad...

Judging by lackattack's current score, it seems that Sassbot is his multi

[iAmCaffeine]

Not sure I'm a fan of the "most improved" scoreboard, since a few lucky doodle assassins could sort that easily..

ATTENTION, PLEASE



I have just been informed the mainframe powering Saxibot is down for the next 72 hours. During this period of time Saxibot will have to be manually controlled. As a result, I will personally be taking all of Saxibots turns for the next 72 hours only. I have set up 6 computers in my conservatory and I also have CC loaded on my iDroid feature phone. My g/f Esmerelda has made me a large pot of coffee, and I've pre-ordered the next 3 days worth of meals from the Crab Shack for home delivery. I have also run a 2-mile line from my cable modem to my 1982 Cadillac Cimarron, which gives me enough range to drive with my laptop connected to the internet from my garage to the front door of the Santa Barbara Senior Center, while still taking Saxibots turns (I shouldn't need to do this, but I'm also on-call right now if they need a sub to teach one of the nature photography classes).

Nonetheless, depending on the number of people simultaneously attempting to play Saxibot, there may be occasional delays or missed turns. I ask you to please bear with me during this trying time. If you can help me out by playing Sassbot, instead of Saxibot, it will be appreciated.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation in this matter.
