Important Bounty Hunter Competition

[DeletedUser]

Hi Folks,
Here is my proposal for a competition.
Please give it a read and post below with your thoughts. If it seems popular, i'll do my best to run it.
--------------
Dyme Bounty Hunters - The game

Hunt and eradicate the daily bounty set by me, a successful hunt will reward you with points. Each week the points will be totted up and a winner will be announced. Win more weekly bounty hunts than your competitors to receive a little something at the end of the month.

Method

Each week a new bounty hunt will be added to this thread and will look like this:

Bounty 01/06/2012

100 Slings- 15 points
75 Hops- 15 points
5 transports- 10 points​

You can only be awarded the bounty points through Attacking enemy players, a maximum of 40 points is available per week. Its your choice to kill some or all of the bounty posted.

Whoever posts the bounty first will get the full number of points.
If you post 2nd, you get total points -1, if you post 3rd you get total points -2 etc etc, down to -5.

E.g.
I post 100 slingers killed first. I get 15 points added.
Player B then posts 100 slingers killed, they get 14 points.
Player C posts that they've killed 5 transports, they get 10 points.
I then post that i've killed 5 transports, i get 9 points.
etc etc
The 6th player to post that they've killed 5 transports (player C, myself and 4 other people) will get 5 points. All players who post 5 transports killed with then get 5 points.

This is simply to make a draw more unlikely and also rewards people for completing the bounties quickly.
Submitting your bounty

A screen shot of the report(s) must be submitted showing proof of the kills. Along with this screen shot you need to provide the report code, this way we can check if the bounty is indeed from world Dyme and not your uber account somewhere else.

example

Report code -[report]dbd2873bb5f2x080a4e0749b3ca684920[/report]
​

(That is actually from Belle btw).

Prize
Just what i'm hoping for.
First place: 500 Gold and user title: Warrior of Dyme
Second place: 250 Gold

Rules
-Bounty kills must be from attacks you have made on enemy players
-Attacks on alliance members do not count
-Attacks on ghosts count
-Attacking island quests does not count.
-Farm attacks do not count
-The Bounty does not need to be completed with one attack (just submit multiple reports)
-If you miss the deadline (to be decided) to submit your bounty, you will receive no points
-In the event of a tie, a bonus bounty challenge will be set for those with matching weekly total. first to get the bonus bounty wins
-Rules are subject to change ( to allow for balancing/fairness etc if need be)

Note:
If you attack someone and all of your units are lost, you will get a report showing '?' under 'Units Killed'.
In the event of this occurring, please post up the report code and an IGM will check and see what you killed. This is simply to make it fair, so that you know whether or not you completed the bounty.

Each week a new Bounty will be given in the post below.

Schedule:
Monday 6th Jan: Comp begins with the First Bounty
Saturday 11th Jan: Deadline for First Bounty.

Monday 13th Jan: Second Bounty.
Saturday 18th Jan: Deadline for Second Bounty.

Monday 20th Jan: Third Bounty.
Saturday 25th Jan: Deadline for Third Bounty.

Monday 27th Jan: Fourth Bounty.
Saturday 1st Feb: Deadline for Fourth Bounty and comp ends.
Monday 3rd Feb: Winners announced.
---------------------

What do you think?
Is a week too long? It was originally a day, but on such a new server, i think longer is more realistic. Else the bounties would have to be tiny.

Let me know

I like the sound of this actually. Could be fun =]

 

[DeletedUser44027]

Yeah. Sounds quite fun!

 

[DeletedUser]

I can see this fitting right in with our usual activities. Looove it!

 

[DeletedUser13409]

I like the idea of this. One quick question: If we kill the required bounty (as seen through our walls) but do not have a report to show it (e.g. we get a '?' due to not clearing their entire force) is there some way of including this as valid? I appreciate a screenshot of a wall is harder to track than a report...

 

[DeletedUser13409]

A second question: Presumably we can also take the bounty as a defender?

 

[DeletedUser]

You can only be awarded the bounty points through Attacking enemy players, a maximum of 25 points is available per week. Its your choice to kill some or all of the bounty posted.

A second question: Presumably we can also take the bounty as a defender?

I wish people would read posts. Oh well...
As well, to answer your last question. No. You must provide proof you cleared the troops listed.


Sounds fun!

 

[DeletedUser13409]

I wish people would read posts. Oh well...

I had read the post - precisely the reason why I wanted to see whether it was indeed just attacking, or whether this was an oversight and defending was also allowed.

There is more than one way to go after a bounty - attacking is the direct route for sure, but one could just as simply leave a bireme in ambush for a bunch of unescorted transports which I would have thought should be just as valid.

We have resolved this issue actually. I'll provide more details on the competition soon, i'm just working on getting rid of some of the kinks in the idea and getting it approved.

Hopefully within a week or so.

 

[DeletedUser]

Are you a moderator with developer powers for the game, to be able to offer free gold to people like that?

 

[DeletedUser]

Nope.
In order to offer gold as prizes, we must get the competitions approved- Hence the delay.

Offering gold tends to make the competitions more popular though, so its worth the fact that it may take longer to get it all approved.

 

[DeletedUser23986]

He was just askin for suggestions. Ofc, he has to get it approved.

Thank you! I'm guessing this could even appear similar to the 'quests' which would be very cool.

do you mean island quests?
im thinking you dont understand quite what a moderator can do. heres the problem:
1.) this is just for Dyme
2.) because of that, Innogames wouldn't write in and make graphics for it
3.) moderators are FORUM MODERATORS. not Innogames devs. So no, it will most defiantly not appear in-game. its a forum game.

Pretty sure you misunderstood. He meant 'looks like'. So they have to achieve goals. It's not that it will become a quest.

ah. I thought he meant have in-game icons and an autonomous reward system. my bad.

No worries.

Just thought I had to clarify it.

I intended to do this compitition on thebes when I was mod there, but then there were some issues with the running of it so I never did it. Let's hope Tommy can fix it.

 

[DeletedUser]

mhmm.
I can't have them pop up in game, but I am trying to get an In-game message sent out to try and attract as many people as possible, and hopefully get some new posters as well.

I'll keep you posted about progress though.

Don't bother Tom. I tried that too for one of my comps. Purples refused. Stubborn Dem, rite?

Tho, you can try your luck.

 

[DeletedUser]

Might help to reach out to the leadership of the active alliances and have them distribute comp messages to the members.
Gold helps alliances as well as individuals!
