Title: Scoreboard
Post by: Taylor on November 03, 2013, 11:15:01 pm
Scores go here. This makes it easier for us admins to give Badges to members who have won.

This table is just a rough one; we'll work on making it better when we have time.
I'll probably do it while listening to Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke :))

VANILLA CHESS:
Member Name: Score (Beaten members)

Dr. Egregious: 3 (Shane / Taylor / Wayne)
Wayne: 3 (Shane / Taylor)
Shane: 2 (Taylor / KarjamP)
AuroraDash: 1 (Wayne)


VANILLA CHESS:
Member Name: [beaten member: score]  [beaten member: score] ...

Dr. Egregious: [Shane: 1] [Taylor: 1] [Wayne: 1]
Wayne: [Shane: 2] [Taylor: 1]
Shane: [KarjamP: 1] [Taylor: 1]
AuroraDash: [Wayne: 1]


MULTIPLE PARTICIPANT CHESS AND OTHER VARIANTS:
These don't count toward the totals above.

Member Names: [beaten member(s): score] [beaten member(s): score] ... (Variant Name / Reason for Multiple Participants)

Wayne / Taylor / Dianke: [Shane / Dr. Egregious: 1] (Cylindrical Chess)
Dr. Egregious: [Shane / Taylor: 1] (Alice Chess) [Charlotte: 1] (Contradictory Chess)

Ah, you have some familiarity with Touhou?   :)

I think it might be easier in the long run to list how many times Player X has beaten each person he/she has played; it'll make it easier when we get around to the ten-win badges.

Oh, and...this hasn't happened yet, but if there's a tie, the score for that is 1/2 point for each player.

Apparently, her familiarity is two songs. (http://shanescavestory.createaforum.com/video-gaming/the-touhou-thread/msg10725/#msg10725)

I agree; the first post has been updated as well.

I only know of two Touhou songs (UN Owen was her / Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke).
I'm planning on learning as much about Touhou as I can... provided I don't forget, of course. ^_^

I was in a hurry, it was already 08:00 AM for me and I usually sleep at that time.

Looks like Shane beat me to it though. :-[

Something to consider: Since we're giving out badges for wins, are we going to accept wins in chess variants, or only in "pure" chess?

Like if Taylor were to win the cylindrical chess game, would she technically get wins against both Shane and myself, or is that to be considered a zero-credit game?

That's actually a good question...
I don't know.

Maybe I can create specific badges for Cylindrical Chess and its variants?
(Although if these badges are going to be chess boards, I'll have to use shades of orange for the squares since the forum's theme is mostly black.)

What about... ah, half-wins / half-losses?

Well, Taylor thought up the whole badges-thing, if I remember correctly.
Ask her. :)

Good idea, Shane. Each variant gets its own badge, if not Vanilla Chess. (Hmm, ice cream... :3)

As for ˝ score matches, special Draw badges.
I'll think of something. Maybe Zexion Uchiha and Shané whats-her-last-name? :P

OP updated.
After all, AuroraDash has won a match now.
Since no-one has any badges yet (aside from me; not counting Chess Tournament Badges) I can't give anyone the badges they should've gotten.

Speaking of badges, I think I'll work on the special Draw Badges: a badge for 1 draw, a badge for 10 draws, and a badge for 50 draws.
Also, I'll work on the Shifter's Chess Badge. (Yay. ;D)

Oh, cool! :)
I think I have a few ideas for badges now; I'll send you a PM regarding them. :)

Updated first post with Wayne's recent victory over Shane.
