If you rank top 3 in any pack, that means you already have a mad amount of BP for that pack because you will get BP for every level that put you in the top 3

Should we also have bonus points for placing top 3 in a pack??? Or maybe the same bonus can be applied to the pack rankings? And then overall rankings???

So if you are 10th in the pack, you also get the amount of BP 10th place gets on a level???

Yes or no?

Sz - just wondering when option #14 will be implemented. Also, I was wondering if the points per level completed will show as 100 for gold or 121 for gold. I think it's best to have it be 100 and then have a separate calculation for each player for their bonus points. Is that possible? Perhaps one challenge will be that the points need to be appropriately applied to each level pack so they can't just be tacked on to the general TTC total points. But since I am not sure how your calcuations and systems are put together, I don't really know how difficult these types of changes will be. Maybe it can say 100 + 21 BP for gold, 99 + 17 BP for silver, etc etc... and then the level pack totals can say like 2300 points + 150 BP = 2450 total points. This way we can see the difference that the bonus points make for each player that earns them. Just wondering

Yea Kris...

but i think its attached to the times... so fastest time (or any ties) = 121, second fastest = 116

but ya this looks good

Kristopher — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 19:57:01 +0000

The 38 people tied with #1 on Shelf should get 121 points, and then:
#39) 116 points
#40) 112 points
#41) 109 points
...
#51) 89 points

The points a player gets in the new scoring should be based on their current points, not their current rank.

newscore = oldscore
if oldscore = 100 then newscore += 21
if oldscore = 99 then newscore += 16

[Medal Bonus Points Voting] aesthetical reasons :) ...... that's pre...

Vega — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 19:25:16 +0000

aesthetical reasons ...... that's pretty funny Sz. Yes you are right we have concluded on the 'compromise option' #14.

1-15 will look like this. (not considering ties of course).

1. 121
2. 116
3. 112
4. 109
5. 107
6. 105
7. 103
8. 101
9. 99
10.97
11.95
12.93
13.91
14.89
15.87

With a tie, I suppose that would mean some of the Bonus points ranking would be skipped? So if #1-5 have the same time, 6-10 have the same time, and 11-15 have the same time, wouldn't that mean that 1-5 would get the gold bonus, 6-10 would get the silver bonus, and 11-15 would get the bronze bonus? And nobody would get the bonus points for #4-#15? So it would look like this?

1. 121
2. 121
3. 121
4. 121
5. 121
6. 116
7. 116
8. 116
9. 116
10.116
11.112
12.112
13.112
14.112
15.112
16. 85
17. 84
18. 83
Etc.....

But actually looking at it now, that doesn?t seem right bcuz the way it works now is if there are ties, the points just continue where they left off. So actually it would look like this?

1. 121
2. 121
3. 121
4. 121
5. 121
6. 116
7. 116
8. 116
9. 116
10.116
11.112
12.112
13.112
14.112
15.112
16. 109
17. 107
18. 105
19. 103
Etc......

i just wanted to say that i'm back reading the forum after a long while spent on developing that new game

as for the bonus points - looks like the decision has been made? for me it's all the same... i mean i can implement any of these options. what i don't like is that the "easy" calculation "1 point = 1 rank" will no longer hold for the top 15. so i'm only disappointed for the aesthetical reasons

Looks like a good compromise - except Silver should be 17 otherwise it's bigger jump from Bronze to Silver than Silver to Gold!

Kristopher — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 22:45:40 +0000

Compromise

The two extremes are no bonus, and the 10000000, 100000, 1000 bonus. Option #7 is a compromise between those, and I think option #13 is a combination of two other options. So to compromise between #7 and #13 is just weak.

A Gap Between the Medalists and the Others

A large point gap between most players and the top is not a problem. The only problem occurs if the players are not ranked as they should be. I.E. Should a player get more points for being #15 on two levels, or being #1 and #40 on those same two levels?

bones — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 22:30:30 +0000

it does give a biggger boost to the gold but still gives even distribution for four through fifteen. the medals get more and the rest get some. is everyone happy now????
