[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
