[OOC] Arena Chat Thread

<Snipped quote by Rilla>

No, the forum does the work of calculating everyone's points and win/loss/draw stats.

Arena Mods just have to do the work of clicking "Edit Topic" and then adding the outcomes like "Rilla Won", "Mahz Lost", "Green Lost" for a ranked roleplay. Rilla will get +100 points and +1 Win, Mahz will get +0 points and +1 Loss, and Green will get +0 points and +1 Loss.

Why do you want to be able to directly edit a user's Arena points? There may be a better way.

<Snipped quote by Rilla>

Or I can just make your @Rilla account an Arena Mod. Whatever works.

@Mahz

Because Melonhead, for instance, has 1400 points. If I were to rejoin the ranks, I'd be up 1275.

I'd rather have the Arena Mod account have it, that way if something happens, I can just pass the account to someone else, and you wouldn't have to remove Mod one account and re-mod another.

@Rilla

I'd prefer to just make it so that Arena Mods can appoint more Arena Mods and demote any other Arena Mod that was appointed after them (i.e. seniority). That way the system runs just fine if I'm away.

I discourage moderator account sharing since it messes up the logging/accountability system.

@Rilla

Ah, I see - because there are existing points in the system.

Is this possible:

Compile a list of all ranked Arena Roleplays that have already taken place along with the win/loss/draw status of each fighter in each roleplay, and I will simply port it in to the current system. If these games used a different scoring system than +100win/+50draw/+0loss, then let me know how it worked and I'll make it work.

[DJAtomika]

I like where this discussion is going.

So psyched for new stuff!

Also, wouldn't it be easier as well for all the fighters here who have had ranked fights, like, chime in with how many points they have, wins and things, if they can remember.

Would make things run smoother for Rilla, possibly.

I know I myself have one arena win, with 1100 points to my name. No losses so far, not counting unranked stuff.

@DJAtomika

Can you link to the Arena Roleplay of that win so I can record it?

@Mahz There ye are, good sir.

[Rilla]

Easiest way is to go to the Ranked Hq. OOC has the list of points.

IC has a linked list of current and former ranked fights.

Mahx, I understand. Mod away!

So far, I think only Bart has lost points, as well as gained via draw(a total netloss of 25 points, via loss against me, draw in tournament)

[Alphakoka]

ooh, a Mahz, a Rilla and a system talk. Time to hide better!

[Rilla]

Would it be possible for me, as Mod, to just go through the fights and 'officially' update them?

[Rilla]

I wonder how this'll work for multi-man fights

[DJAtomika]

There'd be multiple winners and losers assigned, I'm guessing, and points awarded should stay the same for the everything? I'm just guessing lol

[Mahz]

@Rilla

I've made you an Arena Mod, though the only places that's visible right now is at the top of http://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/rilla and on http://www.roleplayerguild.com/staff.

Your only power right now is the ability to click "Edit Topic" on roleplays in the Arena Roleplay forum.



From there you can scroll to the bottom of the edit-topic page and find the "Ranked Outcomes" panel, though the panel is only active if the roleplay is ranked.

(Obviously I will need to flesh out more Arena Mod privileges like the ability to stick/unstick/close/open/hide topics)

Would it be possible for me, as Mod, to just go through the fights and 'officially' update them?

@Rilla

Okay, I will add a "Promote to Ranked" button that you can access on that panel. That way you can promote a roleplay to ranked and then add the appropriate outcomes to it.

Just a sec. Update: Okay, it's implemented now.

I wonder how this'll work for multi-man fights

@Rilla

You can add an arbitrary mix of outcomes to a fight.

Here's an example:

[DJAtomika]

Fancy.

[Mahz]

@Rilla

Added the ability for Arena Mods to promote an Arena Roleplay from Unranked -> Ranked so you can create outcomes for existing roleplays.



All this stuff is super raw. Threw it together today. Lemme know if you have trouble.

[AlteredTundra]

I'm liking what I see,@Mahz. Much amaze.

@Mahz There ye are, good sir.

@DJAtomika

Okay, I promoted it to a ranked fight and added you as a winner. I assume Rilla lost, but he can update it if that's wrong.

It's kind of ugly for now but I think it works :







Above: Rendering glitch, but you get the idea.

[DJAtomika]

Ooh that's real fancy. And all of that is true!

[Alphakoka]

Hey @Rilla, promote someone to backup mod status just in case your new babby made you busy. :v

[DJAtomika]

@Rilla Maybe, like, Skall and Melon? Since they're also the most active around here.

[MelonHead]

Cool, looks like everything is going well.

Though a new system will have to added for wager fights if we continue to use them in this system at least as far as I can tell.

[Mahz]

@MelonHead

Yeah, I see that yall have been wagering in the hand-rolled system you've been using so far in the Arena.

I'm not sure just yet how wagering would work for the system I'm building into the forum, so I cut it til further notice.
