[12:40:29] ~Litt♥Eleven: yep let's work on points then
[12:40:59] @aQrator: I think it should be higher than perfect score
[12:41:02] @aQrator: But that's my hunch
[12:41:15] @aQrator: not a lot, but a little
[12:41:50] ~Litt♥Eleven: yeah
[12:42:19] @aQrator: The time you have to take extra to perfect score is lower than the time to answer an additional, hard question. I think (assuming you make the last one deliberately harder)
[12:43:09] ~sparky✿child: i'd love for the bonus points to scale with your place
[12:43:16] @aQrator: It def should
[12:43:23] @aQrator: Something like
[12:43:37] ~sparky✿child: i'd love "double points"
[12:43:47] @aQrator: Double points seems a bit excessive tho
[12:43:58] ~sparky✿child: it makes gambling first place actually worth it
[12:44:08] ~Litt♥Eleven: my issue with points is people agreeing to collaborate and all do q4
[12:44:29] @aQrator: First place gets 30 w/o, second gets 50 with
[12:44:32] @aQrator: I was thinking along the lines of 12-10-8-6-5-5 and 2
[12:44:52] @aQrator: A more steep version of Perfect Score's scheme
[12:44:55] ~sparky✿child: what if we limit the bonus points to people who finish all 4 and still place in the top 3
[12:45:04] ~sparky✿child: that way we can encourage betrayal
[12:45:30] ~sparky✿child: and discourage collaboration
[12:45:40] @aQrator: That sounds like an intruiging mindgame, but one people will very sparsely play, probably
[12:45:44] ~sparky✿child: because you could lie and just take the base score and leave your "ally" with no bonus and a low base score
[12:45:46] ~Litt♥Eleven: yeah but people don't have an incentive to do the last q if they're outside, again
[12:45:56] ~Litt♥Eleven: we could drop points off to simulate that
[12:46:07] ~sparky✿child: 12/8/4/2/2/2/2/2/2
[12:46:39] ~sparky✿child: there's still a point of doing it afterwards but like
[12:46:49] ~sparky✿child: choosing to not do Q4 should have some merit
[12:46:59] @aQrator: Perfect score is 10-8-5-5-5-5-2...
[12:47:05] ~Litt♥Eleven: yeah solid 30 points
[12:47:16] ~sparky✿child: 12/6/3/2 and 2 afterwards
[12:47:21] ~sparky✿child: finishing 2nd with 4 earns 31
[12:47:26] ~sparky✿child: 1 point more than 1st without bonus
[12:47:38] ~sparky✿child: and 3rd is down to 25, which is 2 less than 2nd without bonus
[12:47:55] @aQrator: I think it should be a bigger difference, to actually incentivise going for it
[12:48:21] @aQrator: If you think you got first if you skip, but can do the fourth question to get second or maybe third
[12:48:22] ~sparky✿child: i just want a steeper drop off in points so choosing to do 4 isnt ALWAYS the best choice
[12:48:25] @aQrator: you're not going to risk it
[12:48:33] ~sparky✿child: if you're not punished slightly for going for 4 and then doing a bad job at it
[12:48:39] ~sparky✿child: then everyone would always do 4
[12:48:43] ~sparky✿child: you dont even need to collaborate
[12:49:10] @aQrator: I agree you want to make it so that you shouldnt always do 4
[12:49:14] ~sparky✿child: because even if someone else does 3, and gets first, doing one more and getting 2nd or 3rd doesnt matter since you're still getting p muc just as much
[12:49:31] ~Litt♥Eleven: we could implement it differently for odyssey metas etc
[12:49:41] ~Litt♥Eleven: like give flat out 10 to people who get the meta and stuff
[12:49:58] ~Litt♥Eleven: just a thought, regardless of values
[12:50:10] ~sparky✿child: i'm curious
[12:50:14] ~sparky✿child: if we could stack this with team scavs...
[12:50:26] @aQrator: no harm in trying
[12:50:51] ~sparky✿child: it should work with team scavs
[12:50:53] ~sparky✿child: looking at the code
[12:51:39] @aQrator: I would assume as much, yea
[12:52:44] ~sparky✿child: they use different event flags so it's fine
[12:53:06] @111ace111: then the one guy goes full chaos and skips
[12:53:27] ~sparky✿child: whole team: "you *****"
[12:53:33] @aQrator: lmao
[12:53:49] @aQrator: but only when the team is almost done
[12:53:52] @111ace111: "no i know we can do it!" "it's too big a risk, im pressing it!" "noooooooo"
[12:53:57] ~sparky✿child: or even better
[12:54:11] ~sparky✿child: when the team actually GETS the answer
[12:54:13] ~sparky✿child: and someone enters skip
[12:54:20] ~sparky✿child: people just assume that they got the answer
[12:54:22] ~sparky✿child: until the hunt ends
[12:54:28] @aQrator: lol
[12:54:30] ~sparky✿child: and they're like "who the fuuuuuuuck typed skip"
[12:54:31] @aQrator: that's just mean
[12:54:50] ~sparky✿child: since skipping only shows the skip message to the person who opted to skip
[12:55:01] ~Litt♥Eleven: oh lol
[12:55:05] ~sparky✿child: everyone else just sees that their team "completed the hunt"
[12:55:19] ~sparky✿child: and assumes that they completed it with the bonus round complete as well
[12:55:23] ~sparky✿child: but little do they know nyahahahahahha
[12:58:02] @aQrator: To get back to the scoring: My opinion on it is that trying the question should be worth 1.5 spots in the ranking or so at the top end (assuming you otherwise wouldn't do the q0, so, while I agree on dropping the score steeply, I would drop it from a relatively high point to have it work that way
[12:58:06] @aQrator: anyhow I've to go
[12:58:10] @aQrator: that's my 2 cents on it
