Fun little game?

by **Elaterate** on Mon Jan 21, 2019 6:26 pm

I liked Razorvich's Scavenger Hunt so much that it has inspired me to do something similar....

I will be asking for names of maps **EDIT** (MAPS from this site, that we play on) in Global Chat and/or in the Chat Rooms today, tomorrow, the next day, and so on if it takes that long... for a tournament idea I have...

Players with the most "responses" gets invite here... https://www.conquerclub.com/player.php? ... nt_id=7431

"Responses" will be counted by first one to respond.... with serious response.

Have already been told once that this is "unintelligent" but other negative comments are more then welcome

False, but thanks for trying to twist my words.

The questions are stupid. When you pop into chat and say, "name a map that starts with U." Yeah, dumb question and you can't expect serious responses. That information is in multiple places readily available to anyone so why would someone bother to answer it? Plus GC is not exactly known for being a serious place so you're getting exactly what I'd expect from the GC crowd.

If you come into chat and say, 'Hey guys, I'm hosting a game to (fill in the blank reason), let's play." That is a completely different scenario and would be met positively. However, that's not what you're doing. First, people don't know you're trying to host a game, they're seeing questions out of context. Second, they may not even want the prize if they do happen to know it's a part of a game. You're getting silly, random answer because of how you're going about attempting to do this. You need to reevaluate the process. You're idea as a whole is a decent one, it's your approach that's flawed.

Twist words?? I quoted one word... did I spell it wrong? Definitely didn't attach any names to it...

I'm getting "silly, random answer" from one player which can be ignored.... Why would someone bother to answer it? Same reason people answer other "dumb" questions in GC... to have a conversation? to be helpful? curiosity as to why their asking?...

"approach that's flawed" is immediately telling someone there question is "unintelligent" without asking why their asking it...

Stay positive

Quoting one word into a completely different context than it was spoken is textbook twisting of words.

ok, that's enough you pair.

Honestly was expecting no comments on this... Just something people could read and maybe follow/play.

My apologies for any wrong doing and hurt feelings I may have caused.

Nowhere in here does it say the answers must be correct. So I am correct in assuming that an incorrect, serious reply would qualify as a “response”?

Not sure how an incorrect, serious reply would help any future tournaments but I have made an edit to post in hopes that clears things up.

Well I was just pointing out nowhere does it say the responses have to be correct to count towards the response, only that it had to be serious.

So you could theoretically ask “what map first used the bombard feature?” And I could legitimately / seriously guess “das schloss?” As my answer. According to what you’ve written, that should score as a response whether it’s correct or not. As long as the response is serious (meaning not just answering “hahaha your butt!” Or something stupid) it should count.

The edits still don’t correct this. I’m sure it doesn’t matter and it’s doesn’t really bother me, I just like to look at rules and sometimes they aren’t that clear

As far as how it helps future tournaments, that part of the OP isn’t really that clear how the maps or responses tie into future tournaments so I can’t really answer that part of your question.

Let me point out that "I will be asking for names of maps" is not the same as "I'll be asking Trivia Questions about maps"

I'm asking for people to name a map, plane and simple.... Not a Trivia contest so I do believe the edit should clear things up. I have been getting the "your butt" type of responses which is why I added the "serious responses"

The "your butt" type of responses is what I was referring to as an "incorrect/serious" response that couldn't possibly help future tournaments so I hope can you agree those shouldn't count towards any scoring.
