zylon Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Our game this round is Joust, by popular demand. Play on default starting level/settings (SKILLED). Round will end on Sunday October 14th 2012. There will also be a twist to this one. There will be a Jousting For Position as well. Play Expert Joust to participate. You won't know for sure who you are jousting until round's end. It will be based on your finishing spot on the regular Joust game. Regular game position 1 will have their Expert score compete against regular game position 2 and so on. Each of these little matches will earn a bonus point. Expert scores will be tracked right alongside the regular game to make everyone's tracking easier. Just a little something for all skill levels to have a chance for bonus points. HSC record bonus points will also be in effect.

zylon Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the free plug for the Lynx HSC! :thumbsup: I got a plug for my Lynx, but it wasn't free. Looks like sdamon has busted my Joust expert record. Nice work. Edited October 7, 2012 by zylon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Interesting bonus challenge for this round. :thumbsup: Thanks. I'd originally intended to run a 3-tier bracket style Joust tournament, but I would've needed more time for players to sign up. The bonus round is a small piece of that. What it does, is link both games together in a way that appropriately matches opponent skill levels. So far, it's working well. The multi-player parts of this game is a huge part of its' charm. I thought this was good way to simulate some of that experience. Edited October 8, 2012 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing the better expert score for the last position. The only bonus points awarded yet are the HSC record points. Points for expert get awarded at the end. When someone doesn't play the bonus challenge, I'll skip over them like they weren't there. In the event of an odd number of players, I'll give the lowest place player a point if they beat someone else's Expert score. Scores can change at any time and positions moved, so no points awarded yet. In the scenario you are showing, I'm jousting sdamon, you are jousting roadrunner, and NIKON is jousting jblenkle. Who you joust is based on your Skilled mode score. Edited October 10, 2012 by zylon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
