Jules Verne Contest [Complete]

I'm ok with anything that gets things moving.

[general_c]

Actually, I just ran the numbers, if you do this then my score would be

(3+4+6+8+10)/5 = 6.2

I am four points away from fairman right now, this 6.2 puts me as the tourney winner.

I'm okay with this although perhaps fairman would want a say in the matter.

Well, New Year's Eve is two weeks away.... somebody might decide to make a move before then.

+1 - good thinking

Game 9401803
2012-01-01 10:31:48 - Dukasaur: ok, four players left
2012-01-01 10:32:07 - Dukasaur: 28 points left to be won
2012-01-01 10:32:13 - Dukasaur: That's 7 points each

Game 9727842
2011-12-17 01:00:43 - Dukasaur: viewtopic.php?f=91&t=149236&p=3501035#p3501035
2011-12-17 14:19:45 - hermey68: we have been called out - must end by 1/1/12 or we get nothing
2011-12-17 14:19:51 - hermey68: who will make the first move!
2012-01-01 10:32:38 - Dukasaur: well, not nothing, hermey
2012-01-01 10:32:53 - Dukasaur: we take the remaining points and divide them evenly between you
2012-01-01 10:33:25 - Dukasaur: 7 players left, and 34 points left to be won
2012-01-01 10:33:35 - Dukasaur: so every one of you gets 5 points

Game 9802695
2012-01-01 10:34:42 - Dukasaur: ttblanch claimed the objective
2012-01-01 10:35:09 - Dukasaur: no way to prove it without the fog lifting, but I think it's reasonable to give him the benefit of the doubt
2012-01-01 10:35:25 - Dukasaur: so ttblanch scores the 10 bonus points for the objective
2012-01-01 10:40:02 - Dukasaur: as for the regular points, there's five players left, and 31 points left to be won
2012-01-01 10:40:11 - Dukasaur: so you each score 6 pts.
2012-01-01 10:40:31 - Dukasaur: +10 for ttblanch, of course

[Dukasaur]

Looks like general_c might get his wish.

I'll wait for Pandemonium to confirm.

[Pandemonium]

It's all over people Finally - it has been exhausting enough and fun though - I liked the bonuses very much, but it was a nightmare to confirm them and point them properly...

TOP 10:

01 - GENERAL_C - 99 points - congrats man, you made it, No.1!
02 - Seamus76 - 96 points
03 - fairman - 91 points
04 - Hook2 - 87 points
04 - Pack Man - 87 points
06 - Pandemonium - 84 points -
06 - IR1SH ACE - 84 points
06 - General Redstone - 84 points
09 - fbonsignori - 82 points
10 - dustin800 - 81 points
10 - rjhankey - 81 points

now lets get to the team-ass-kicking part

[general_c]

Very cool, thanks Dukasaur, Pandemonium. This tournament has been well done.

Congratulations, general_c! Well done!



General_C, I will get your your premium within 3 or 4 days. Don't stress if there's a delay; sometimes there is, but you can be sure you will get it!

Okay, we need to get the team finale started. This week is incredibly busy for me; I'm in the middle of moving, and it's a lot of work, so my CC work is a bit spotty right now. Pandemonium, could you post the final scores by Team in the thread? When I get some time (might be a few days) I will start writing to the teams who made it and making sure they have replacements for the missing players, etc. (If you want to do any of that, that would be great, but it's also okay if you just leave it for me.)

Top eight teams are in the finale; but might want to list all the teams, for their own curiosity.

[Pandemonium]

01. 294 - Gael Force (IR1SH ACE, bobzimmerman, Conchobar, VestedPower)

02. 247 - AT16 (general_c, rmjw10, jrbedwell, Cj1990)

03. 225 - AT15 (fbonsignori, opposites., lorenzol, brambles)

04. 218 - Essex of CC (dustin800, Sam02, DBandit70, bfunny27)

05. 187 - Macedonian Conquer Team (Pandemonium, stevkov, n.n., kristijan_mk)

06. 183 - NO TEAM (bandido, ringemaster, dexterdexter, remy1309) - this is where the best 4 no-teamers rank, but I think it would be unfair this team to enter and take the place from some team that formed legally months ago...

06. 172 - AT10 (rjhankey, Bobdakota, alexcata, clanger35)

07. 162 - notyou2 team (davetso, severs, vlajzi83, notyou2)

08. 145 - Special Forces (Hook2, JJ41375, IcePack, bigreuben)


09. 142 - VDLL1 (Pilot16, SirSebstar, der sniffter, JBlombier)

10. 138 - The four bags (ttblanch, Darkseb, Gromph, Starke666)

11. 134 - Chapa Quaint Paintball (mlmarcelo, drwar, Agressivo, Jay_Santos)

... ... ...

[torres44cm]

Three games are stalled and seem to be going nowhere.
Game 9401803
Game 9727842
Game 9802695

How about we declare a New Year's Eve moratorium on these?

Any games that don't end by the time the ball drops on New Year's Eve, we will pool the remaining points (the points that could have been won if the games had ended) and divide them between the remaining players?

Then we can start 2012 fresh by getting the Team Finale going.

Comments?

I obviously won't have any stake in winning the tourney, but my question is what about the points acquired from the other players for winning game 9802695. Does all that go away cause of the moratorium? Since I was winning that match it would have been nice to collect points toward medal rank. Sorry for the late comment, but had'nt read all the post before.

Also a question about team finals, The post says teams need a 100 points to qualify, did Black Death not have enough points?

[Pandemonium]

The remaining 3 games got split-points in THIS tourney only, the points that count tournament-wise,
other-wise the games still continue and can finish and you can make conquer-points just like in any other game.

The post was - any team that have more than 100 points can hope top enter the final top 8,
- as it turned out - the last team (8th) had 145, 9th had 142 and so on - Black Death was top15, had 114 or 118 points, but not enough to get in top8, sorry

[Dukasaur]

I know you're waiting for answers... gimme a few days and I'll get caught up.

[Dukasaur]

And general_c is a premium member!

Congratulations to the winner of the Individual component of the Jules Verne Contest!!!!





I will have regular Internet by Tuesday January 10th, so I hope to get aggressive about starting the Team Finale around January 11th!

Thanks all for your patience.

There are no further points to be awarded in that game, but you got your six points for staying in that long.
From game chat:

2012-01-01 10:34:42 - Dukasaur: ttblanch claimed the objective
2012-01-01 10:35:09 - Dukasaur: no way to prove it without the fog lifting, but I think it's reasonable to give him the benefit of the doubt
2012-01-01 10:35:25 - Dukasaur: so ttblanch scores the 10 bonus points for the objective

2012-01-01 10:40:11 - Dukasaur: so you each score 6 pts.
2012-01-01 10:40:31 - Dukasaur: +10 for ttblanch, of course

Also a question about team finals, The post says teams need a 100 points to qualify, did Black Death not have enough points?

No, I never said 100 points would qualify. I said the top eight would qualify, and since at that time we didn't know the team scores, I said every team with 100 points or more should start thinking about playing in the final. Not that they would be in for sure, but that there was a decent chance they would be in.

Don't forget I'm in Black Death. I wouldn't screw our chance on purpose...
