Tug of War V2.0

Tug of War V2.0

Yes, it's Back!

Last year, right around this time, I started the Tug of War game, and it became the first big forum game here. I know, props and all. But then, things got hectic with me trying to do epic level counts (we got into the -1000>0>1000 games) for each game, then contracting mono, etc, etc.

But now, I have more than enough time to stick with this game and give it my full attention! And it'll give me something to do when grinding missions in EVE.

So without further ado, I present to you, again, the

Tug of War

Rules are fairly simple and straightforward. Each game starts at 0. Each game has a high and low goal, which, for the first game, will be +100 and -100. To play, you post your team, the Up or Down team, and then the previous number +1 or -1, followed by the resulting number. For example:

UP
56+1=57

While yes, you could just have the +1 or -1 and the resultant number, it makes things a lot clearer to have the original number as well. Last game we had like ten people posting within seconds of one another, and often overlapping their numbers. Including the original number you tugged up or down from really helps sort out tangles like that.

A few extra little housekeeping rules: no double posting, unless to bump a page. Someone came up with that idea last game, and it was a great idea. Sorry I can't thank you by name, but if you're reading this, you know who so are. Props dude! Oh right, and I double post just to start off the first game.
For each game, you have to pick a team and stick with it, don't jump ship or anything. We tried that rule last game, and it ended up being a whole lot funner.

And finally, before I get this party started, I will, once again, do the awesome thing that made the last game so bloody popular. I will do counts. At the end of each game, we'll take a brief hiatus while I go back and count up all the posts made by EVERYONE during the last game and tally them up. Then we'll have an MVP for all teams, and and MVP for the Up and Down team. MVPs get karma. We'll also have little achievements to get too, which I won't tell what they are. They're secret, at least until the first game is done.

Right, I think that's everything. Under this I'll edit to update for each new game.

This just means that "down" people have no lives compared to the "up" people.

Awesome! First game down!

I'll get right on the count, and I should have the results in a little later today.

Congratulations to Down Team!

There'll be 3 MVPs: the overall MVP, and then an MVP for each team.

Just finished getting all the people tallied, now I just need to count them up and do up the final report thingy.

Okay then! Time for the stats!!

_____________________________________________

Tug of War Round 1: -100 - 0 - 100

UP Team

 Cadalancea: 6

Peanuts: 1

NinkiCZ: 54

SivCorp: 1

Xer07: 5

Zakath: 24

Nailcannon: 5

Jona: 4

Total: 100, exactly. Odd

 

 DOWN Team

RAWRRRR: 75

Splitshadow: 38

Teseer: 59

Sol: 21

Mithrandar: 9

Total: 202

 

Awards!

Lightning Round: Has to go to NinkiCZ and Rawr, supported by Zak and Split and Teseer. The entire game, pretty much, was a lightning round. Up and down and up and down.

Astounding Valiance: NinkiCZ. Alone you held your ground as the enemy tore the ground from beneath your feet, bolstered occasionally by other UP Members, and Zakath of course.

Last Gasp!: UP Team, for when they nearly pulled it back into positives for a while.

Single-Handed Kick-Ass: Rawrrrr, for sure. He tore this game up, giving his team a ridiculous defense.

Crazed Poster: Teseer. For a while there, you had very few posts, then suddenly, you came out of nowhere, surpassing even Splitshadow.

Tag Teamers: Two awards, one goes to Zakath and NinkiCZ for their inspiring defense of UP Team. The other goes to Rawrrrr, Splitshadow, and Teseer, for their consistent triple-posting for the win.

A Broken Heart: Goes to NinkiCZ. So much drama!

 

MVPs

MVP for the Entire Game: RAWRRRR (No shit :thumbsup: )

UP Team:

1: NinkiCZ
2: Zakath

DOWN Team:

1: RAWRRRR
2: Teseer

And as promised, there shall be karma for the MVPs.

Excellent game everyone!

Now that the first game is done, shall we begin the next round?

I'm thinking -200 < 0 > 200

Whaddya think? Last Tug of War thread we got up into the 500s, it was crazy fun.

This is totally unfair.

Teseer, Split and RAWRRRR are part of this whole Demigod crew thing on vent - so they were able to coordinate much better.

Zak and I actually did not communicate with each other outside of the thread. In my mind, we were the true winners. You guys were just CHEATERS.

:hrmph:

pfft don't be jealous you sided with the wrong side!  And I think we did that once lol.. otherwise, you just sleep too much!

We didn't coordinate anything actually. I just refreshed every 5 minutes or so at school

Ah, crap... I've really gotta stop obsessing about this all-girl party I've been invited to... really messes me up.

Only 5? I feel so insignificant. v_v

Recent posts? Pffft, I kept this thread open in a tab at work. Whenever I had a minute I'd just click F5 to refresh it :)

 

I still think the Up team ought to  a bonus for being the most international :P

Recent posts lets me see if other threads have replies too. This is in Off Topic and not Demigod so I can't use that section.
