Winter warm up - kb style

NewMutator · Post by **NewMutator** » 24 Jan 2013, 07:30

Usually territories games don't end in ties, or there are house rules in place. In the cases where they do end in ties, it's pretty intuitive which team wins in perm. It wasn't clear to me how the scoring was calculated, because any way I approached it, it seemed our team would have won. There were a number of explanations given as to how the game scored in the case of a terries tie, but none of them were correct, so yeah, it is pretty amazing. Anyway, at least this way we remove all ambiguity for territories scoring for future reference.

Renwood · Post by **Renwood** » 24 Jan 2013, 07:53

Well shit, did the terries scoring rules change in 1.5 to give whoever had their maximum amount of flags most recently the win?
Because This seems not how it was in TFL or Bungie's Myth 2 code. This is making Terries sound more like FR, and I fucking HATE FR DOH!

Here guys, I understand many do not have this and did not get to see it. Kickballerz Week1. Game 5 Creep CTF

No doubt the Terries rules were changed at the same time "they" changed the rules of Assassin so it was no longer possible to win by killing your own team's target units.

The rules haven't changed since 1998 and I used to play competitively so I figured out the little things like how terries tiebreakers work early on. So yeah, I'm Mr. Know-It-All when it comes to myth scoring. Knowing this doesn't usually matter in team games since most terries games don't come down to the wire, but tagging flags is a good habit to get into

Like I said, that's the last time the code was touched, but it's documented as a "bug fix" and not protected by a version check, so that implies either the code was broken in some way before or perhaps it simply didn't differentiate ties that came down that far in the logic. If the scoring logic had been intentionally changed, I would expect to see a version check around that code.

Unfortunately we can't know for sure as documentation from that period of development is really sparse.

Ratking · Post by **Ratking** » 25 Jan 2013, 05:05

I dont know why were using this instead of our sub forum.

Anyway, Dant you pick 3 maps this round since your last weeks winnah. I'll pick the other two, and renwood could cap if no one steps up.

MAYBE I want a rematch from that oOh or whatever clan match... hmm.. yes that would be fun.

Renwood · Post by **Renwood** » 25 Jan 2013, 07:04

People just want to click on 1 section of the forum to read stuff. So sub forum = dead

Renwood · Post by **Renwood** » 25 Jan 2013, 07:24

O um BTW, I have not seen the time posted for the next match....Is it just 12 PM EST Saturday every weekend?
Thats what I figured since there was no other information given

Renwood · Post by **Renwood** » 25 Jan 2013, 22:05

O wait no, it is 3 PM EST January 26

Vantobia · Post by **Vantobia** » 25 Jan 2013, 23:40

Would love to get involved in these games but fark prob wont be able to make it this week due to work - this time is 7am Aussie Sunday morning for me. An hour or 2 ealier would be right on the money. Oh wellls ! If you guys are still playing next week when I am not working I will come along for sure.

Ratking · Post by **Ratking** » 26 Jan 2013, 19:01

Yeah, it will be same time every week

Renwood · Post by **Renwood** » 26 Jan 2013, 23:16

Something came up, and I was unable to make it 3 pm EST ~8^(

Ratking · Post by **Ratking** » 27 Jan 2013, 05:33

Gg's for week 2. The mighty dantski was taken down by a feral rat. After 3 games of attempting to sabotage us (unsuccessfully) the frenchie officially turned his coat. Everyone still seems to hate allies. Good times.

So with dant and I with a win a piece, I think we should go ahead an wrap this thing up. Get ready for the finals next week bitches!

Stats and maps will hopefully be updated tomorrow, possibly monday night.

Dant and I will pick 3 maps each, and the community will collectively pick a 7th. Obv its a best of 7 win by 2. No SD.

c⁄J⁄Iılk c⁄J⁄Iån ◊§t◊ · 31 Jan 2013, 19:33

Why end it so soon? We could do first cap to win 3 matches in a row wins. I could even cap next if no one else wants.

SamTheButcher · Post by **SamTheButcher** » 31 Jan 2013, 22:27

I'm with Milk Man. I'd like to see it keep going. Its fun and I like that it is a guaranteed time to get some good games in.

Vantobia · Post by **Vantobia** » 31 Jan 2013, 23:26

Agreed, I will def show up on weekends when Im not at work and dont have anything else on. Garenteed quality myth games are worth getting up early for.

falcon · Post by **falcon** » 31 Jan 2013, 23:37

So, if this was a predecessor to winter series, where the winter series at?

Renwood · Post by **Renwood** » 01 Feb 2013, 01:11

Keep this KickBall rolling unti MWC starts RAT!

I see no reason to end it after only 3 weeks. You get full games, so why not?

Dantski · Post by **Dantski** » 01 Feb 2013, 01:18

I think he wants to keep it short so a "real" winter tournament can take place.

c⁄J⁄Iılk c⁄J⁄Iån ◊§t◊ · 01 Feb 2013, 01:30

I don't believe in this mythical winter tourney anymore. Besides I like that kb is low commitment, I'm hella busy.

The people have spoken Rat. FACE ME YOU FIEND.

falcon · Post by **falcon** » 01 Feb 2013, 01:43

You're clearly mistaken milk. There could be 5-6 member tourney with like 8 teams. What's so bad about it. This kickball thing sets some good games so you can keep up with that, but still, tourney is tourney. & not every tourney is milkman ffa tourney that runs for 12 months? sorry.

falcon · Post by **falcon** » 01 Feb 2013, 01:44

Myself and many other people would love a winter tourney. Some players would come back from retirement too.

Vantobia · Post by **Vantobia** » 01 Feb 2013, 02:07

Yeah bring on the Winter Series, Deer will def make a showing. Once TWS is over, start back up the kickball style stuff to keep people active until the next tourney tourney.

c⁄J⁄Iılk c⁄J⁄Iån ◊§t◊ · 01 Feb 2013, 02:31

Guys... there is no winter series, you're deluding yourselves

and ffa league was a league, not a tourney

Ratking · Post by **Ratking** » 01 Feb 2013, 05:07

Yeah my initial idea was to do a short deal so we could do a major winter tourney. However, we can do a 7 game finale this week for a mini series AND keep the kb rolling on Saturday afternoons. That's totally up to you guys. In fact, why don't we let the crowd that shows pick the maps we play this week?

I'll think of a way to get everyone involved and keep it fair. Of course we don't want any outlandish crazy stuff if were doing a finals. Dant you cool to rematch for the title? No need to strat if were picking the maps there.

c⁄J⁄Iılk c⁄J⁄Iån ◊§t◊ · 01 Feb 2013, 13:25

This is BS rat, you're just setting yourself up for "the title," rigged!

Dantski · Post by **Dantski** » 01 Feb 2013, 13:56

If Milk wants to captain instead thats fine with me, I'll cap if he wusses out!

Oh yeah Milk, its on!

c⁄J⁄Iılk c⁄J⁄Iån ◊§t◊ · 01 Feb 2013, 14:46

Hell yea it is.

I pick des terries & hver light ctf.

Arzenic · Post by **Arzenic** » 01 Feb 2013, 16:50

I have devastating news:

Unfortunately I can not make it to this week's round.
I know it will be difficult, but try to have fun even without me

Ratking · Post by **Ratking** » 02 Feb 2013, 07:14

Pick an extra map milk. I'll post a few picks ASAP. Been super busy guise but ill be rdy for tomorrow.

Lets say the winning captain chooses our winter agenda

7 maps total this week, mm picks 3 and ill prob let the lobby choose mine. Def wanna do a trow terries tho.

Renwood · Post by **Renwood** » 02 Feb 2013, 10:35

MM YOu bastard what happened to Lichen Terries Legandary so we get the Reinforcements?!?!? We talked about this...
You are NOT ALLOWED to pick Desert, too common and bland. Your 2nd pick is NOW LICHEN TERRIES LEGENDARY!
The peach has SPOKEN!

c⁄J⁄Iılk c⁄J⁄Iån ◊§t◊ · 02 Feb 2013, 18:58

haha I'll pick that if I get the 5th pick.

Ratking · Post by **Ratking** » 02 Feb 2013, 19:52

I did say no weird outlandish crazy picks. Lichen w/ reins is just stupid bc u can puss them when they spawn.

I'll get behind anything that's reasonable..

Pogue · Post by **Pogue** » 02 Feb 2013, 22:03

The 49ers are gonna pecker slap Baltimore tomorrow.

That is all.

Renwood · Post by **Renwood** » 02 Feb 2013, 22:39

Rat, you not letting cool maps like Lichen Legendary get picked helped lead to the lamest KB week yet.
UNINSPIRED MAP PICKS GUYS = shitty games WTF!

Dantski · Post by **Dantski** » 03 Feb 2013, 01:16

We did some "cool" picks the previous week. Broken Arrow map with 2 Generals had potential for a hilarious game, so did the Twister KOTH if the other teams hadn't been so sloppy getting up the hill! We did 2 NUT games also (NUT clash is so underrated!)

Ratking · Post by **Ratking** » 03 Feb 2013, 05:59

other than MM's picks, they were done by committee. Don't know why any1's complaining to me.

Lichen on legendary will forever remain a horrible map. This is not a question of opinion, but scientific fact.

We need caps is the problem. I don't want to cap anymore. Its probably better to revisit the kb idea after the winter tourney cranks up.

Speaking of which TIME FOR A NEW THREAD, WINTER TOURNEY!!

Renwood · Post by **Renwood** » 03 Feb 2013, 07:03

If by "horrible" you mean TONS of fun and completely awesome, then you are correct.

Vantobia · Post by **Vantobia** » 03 Feb 2013, 10:41

You guys filled up the game real nice this week, good to see even though I missed out. Oh wells, early morning mything fun times. P.s its really cracking at this time, way better than my normal playing timezone.

Myrk · Post by **Myrk** » 03 Feb 2013, 15:45

just keep the kickball thing going.

grim · Post by **grim** » 05 Feb 2013, 13:08

I concur what Browning said. It's perhaps slightly unrealistic to get a full team tourney going during the spring this year. I'm sure MWC will fire up as usual.

Ratking · Post by **Ratking** » 05 Feb 2013, 22:17

If we don't get any teams soon we can do a 4 team draft.

And we can keep kb going, we just need some talented caps to volunteer. I'm stepping aside and awaiting a contender to win a few weeks. Usually 20 ppl want a piece, where have all the haters gone?

HAS SIR RATSKI THE BOLD SILENCED ALL HIS CRITICS?

Must have done so by adding the dantski-like 'ski' to my name.

c⁄J⁄Iılk c⁄J⁄Iån ◊§t◊ · 07 Feb 2013, 14:27

I nominate THOR.

edit: I mean THORski

Ratking · Post by **Ratking** » 09 Feb 2013, 06:55

Yeah it is, but I prob can't make most of it. I can be there for the first hour I think.

Renwood · Post by **Renwood** » 10 Feb 2013, 00:03

Renwood and company Defeat Thor and his minions 3-2 in KB week 4!
Thanks to all who showed up, and BIG thanks to Samthebutcher for hosting. GO team!

BTW GKG got hunted down like a dirty dog on the final tie breaking game on Keep Lmoth. Because there is no way in hell I was gonna let GKG run around in our backfield and rear end us at the end. GG

I have included all 5 films in an attached zips for your viewing pleasure. It was a mighty contest indeed, but the team of peachieness prevailed!

1-3 are in this post and 4-5 are in the next post, beacuse at 278 K thegjol said they were 28K too large to be uploaded as 1 zip ~8^(
