@ fabio, that was my least favorite thing about 2.01, that if you missed, you had to wait a full 24 hours before another go, if there wasn't a backlog (which isn't normal in any case).

@ Uly, I don't really want to say "First can't use bonus", because I don't want this game to be unfair to the higher ranked. I concur with Skreename however, that bonuses ended up being quite broken as well. Maybe I could invoke a "Mario-kart" esque system, where the higher up you are, the worse overall prizes you get.

How is this for a new bonus prize chart?


Rank1-2021-4041-5051-6060-6566-7071-7576-8081-8586-9091-9596-99100
11 point1 steal1 thump1 juxtapose1 choice + 1 point
2-42 points3 points1 steal2 steals1 thump2 thumps1 juxtapose3 points + 1 choice
5-102 points3 points4 points2 choices2 choices + 1 point3 points + 2 choices
>/= 113 points4 points4 points + 1 choice3 choices + 1 point5 points + 1 choice
Tatrion1 point


Based on the current ranking. It can/will adjust for more people.

This was made to discourage high-ranks from answering the bonus, opting for a regular question worth one guaranteed point (instead of risking getting no points for a question)

One flaw I see already is that high ranks could block out low ranks from getting their good prizes by answering anyway. There's already a new gimmick in the pipeline to counteract this though ...

@ Skreename,

I rather like how the new system is guaranteed to be <= 1 a day. Makes it a bit easier to keep up with, not worrying about missing 2 or more questions because you only checked once a day.


This was an advantage 2.01 had over 1.0, that is, the easier keeping-up to the players.

However, at the same time... I think the 2-guess-per-question-set thing needs some work. Either that, or the bonus system. I think I got a good amount of my current points from just the bonuses, along with more gimmicks than anyone else playing at the moment.


As I said to Uly, the new chart might help to remedy broken bonuses.

@ Darkdata, Acil and Luigi-san, thank you for your input, but I don't have any direct commentary for you

So far, 2 new, 3 old, 1 undecided...

I'm waiting for a few more of the regulars to voice their opinions before I make a descision.

I don't understand it since me are dumbs, but if it's like Mario Kart, then I say yay for it!

Also, it's weird my opinion counts even though I haven't even scored one point out of this XD

Using the standard rank you get through accumulating points. The person with the most points is first, second most is second, etc.

Uly - The random values are at the top, and the rank is at the left. The cell stretches to hold all of the random numbers that generate that result.

And about the other thing, meh.

Maybe I should have been more specific. I still want opinions from the good doctor of Death and the terrible kidnapper magikoopa. Input from the king would be nice too.

You know who you are.

What about something like a combination of the two systems? Like you put 3 questions daily, but not at the same time, so the "Surprise factor" of not knowing when a question will appear remains, and the bonus only appears if the 3 questions have been answered?

I jumped...

I actually like that. A lot. I'm going to do that if I don't get any more responses.

I figure they new setup would work better than the old. Creatively, I've got a mental block as to any real changes that could be made to the scoring system as it is now other than what you've done, so I'm going to agree with your new system.

I didn't reply because I didn't really have many ideas to improve the game.

Uly's idea sounds like it will work well. If you don't use his idea, I think a revert to v1.0 rules would help things a little too, since one person can't as easily jump on all the questions at once (unless they're parked in IRC and watching tunabot, but there's not much we can do about that, is there?)

Whoa!, I didn't expect that feed back - Anyway, can you tell us Tatriom, the answer to your old system never answered question?

That's why I was asking I thought he was talking about the answer to "Here's a tricky one: What is the name of the user on wikipedia with the internal ID# of 8? If it helps, you might want to look at the history of the page that is obviously the oldest and most important on there."

But anyway, I'll ask about that one next time we change systems XD

That is a good idea Uly. This way, if some of the contenders are only available at certain times, they could still catch a chance at a question rather then miss a whole day.

I'm sure Skreename will still be a great competitor. We'll just have to try harder whenever the next game starts up.

...2008. November 2008. Optimistically speaking, of course.

I'll try to live up to the standard people expect.
