Rankings times the square root + the number of sign ups minus rankings times 3 + rp bonus

Despite the farce that was WBC3 we're back.

HAS ANYONE NOT UNDERSTOOD WHAT QAZOX JUST SAID?

While we're at it, we'll sign-up

Yo. We're back.

Mallatarsland does not play Baseball. But, we have a similar game played by Our womenfolk called Rounders. Men are of course banned from playing Womens games as it not natural.

Therefore, Mallatarsland will sign up with an all female team.

*there is much rejoicing in Mallatarsland as the womenfolk don their Uniforms and begin practising*

Maybe, I doubt it, an emphatic no.

Guess I can't sign up then.

Shame.

Sweetness! I'm on... Oh. IN last place. *gulp*

Register the Vanek'ians up!

I'm in 20th...kewl.

I signup.

Put the number six team in the world on that list.

Now.

Do you have a scorinator? if so, any chance we can test it before hand, as to make sure it works?

Nefundland/(Taeshan)?

perhaps nefundland we could put up a cohost bid 2 different groups like 16 to each and we could develop a scorination
Final taeshan world series game 1 Atlantea phillies 14-11 over the New capetown robos

Do you have a scorinator? if so, any chance we can test it before hand, as to make sure it works?

I've got a basic idea of how it would work, something based on a general skill system, each team would have a 50-50 chance if winning a game, and percentages would shift based on the skill difference between each team. Not sure how much a point should shift a percentage; I'm thinking two percent per point, maybe?

Hmmm... I'm a bit dubious about that scorination method. There needs to be an RP bonus and a way to take into account previous results. I'd like to see a more detailed explanation before I'm willing to support Nefundland as host.

RP bonus could be figured as an increase to skill, I'd need a little help with figuring out what to give bonuses for, and how large they should be.

As for previous results, what do you mean, some kind of moral bonus or penality based on previous games?

I've got a basic program for working out results, and am planning to use a spreadsheet to figure score.

BASIC code
print "NOTE: the team with the higher skill level should be labled team one."
print "This just makes the program run faster and is easier for everyone"
print "thank you"
input "what is the first team's name?" ; name1$
input "what is the second teams's name?" ; name2$
input "what is the first teams skill level?" ; skill1
input "what is the second teams skill level?" ; skill2
let diff= (skill1 - skill2)
let skilldif = (diff * 2)
let perdif = 50 + skilldif
[roll]
roll = int(rnd(1)*100) + 1
if roll < perdif goto [team1win]
if roll = perdif goto [roll]
if roll > perdif goto [team2win]
[team1win]
print "the winner is " ; name1$
print "roll is " ; roll
end
[team2win]
print "the winner is " ; name2$
print "roll is " ; roll

Traditionally, scores are produced, not just winners of each game. But that's a decent start. You can combine previous rankings and RP-bonus to yield a skill factor, I assume.

Nefundland,

Do　you have IRC? The #nssport channel would be a good place to get help making a scorinator. And Zwangzug is right, it should generate scores as well as who wins (and usually some way of doing extra innings, overtime, etc.) Also, you should so it to someone when you finish. But it looks like you're putting in good work, which is a positive sign.

Yes, Nefundland, that is a good start.

If you can get the RP Bonus and the ranking involved, it would go a very long way towards your hosting.

Team Vephrall, otherwise known as the New York Mets of NS, signs up. :p

*ducks*

I don't have an IRC, I updated the program to figure scores and extra innings, There might be a few bugs, but I think I can work them out.

If you can get the RP Bonus and the ranking involved, it would go a very long way towards your hosting.

The way I'm planning to figure skill is to take the ranking #'s from the first page and add any RP bonus needed.

We will return.

We sign up.

We need at least 1 more sign up to start, but I'd like to possibly have 24 teams, as that seems to be a good number to have a decent tourney. (With playoff rounds for semifinals or what ever the host (hosts if someone else is willing to step up to the plate) decides).

I'll sign up for this

Baseball Prux knows better than Foosball.

SIGN UP CUTOFF

Unless we get more sign-ups or a new hosting bid in the next 24 hours, This thread will close and Nefundland will be the host. (Unless someone complains about it too much :headbang:)

I'm a little apprehensive over letting someone rather new host, and would prefer someone to offer cohosting it with him.

agreed, after WBC3.

Nefundland, do you mind if someone co-hosts w/ you? (i can't do it, too busy the next couple of weeks)

Also: Anyone up for co-hosting duties??

I'm a little apprehensive over letting someone rather new host, and would prefer someone to offer cohosting it with him.

I've got no problem with someone else co-hosting, I'd welcome another set of hands.

(ooc: sorry about the lateness of this, but had some family stuff to take care of earlier 2nite)

SIGN-UPS ARE OFFICALLY CLOSED

I'll keep open the co-host position until Friday. If by then no-one offers to co-host, then Nefundland will host by itself. I'd like to have this start next sunday night, monday night at the latest.

NOone TG'd or posted that they'd like to help Nefundland, so HOST BIDS ARE CLOSED AND GL ALL!

me: is it too late to sign up?
forum members: yes
me: damm
