Great, officially a complete team. If anyone can think of a catchy name you're more than welcome (I generally suck at making up names ).I'm good with this, I always like having someone in a different time zone to keep scoring around the clock. Thanks for thinking of me! Perhaps we should get together one day on live,it will get you another badge at least.Originally Posted by B8TINGU

I actually don't understand the need for a single player award in a team event, but, since there is no prize, and it really is just for shits and giggles, I wasn't going to give him any more grief than I already did.Add me to the list of people who are out. Greater % increase is garbage, people with lower gamerscores already have the deck stacked in their favor because of more games available, then you make it exponentially hard by making it % increase.Originally Posted by Kaens
E.g.
RandomJoe with 10k gamerscore who plays only CoD games and gets some multiplayer achievements decides to join. He throws in Avatar and 3 mins later has a 10% increase.
Now to compete with this meathead, I have to score 60,000 points. Do you see how f'n stupid that is? Yeah, no thanks.

While my example focused on just my own participation, I meant it as part of a team. I would be a huge detriment to any team that accepted me. I don't know why it isn't just straight gamerscore. That is already unfair enough, but one that I'm often up for. Anyhow, good luck and I hope those that participate have fun.I actually don't understand the need for a single player award in a team event, but, since there is no prize, and it really is just for shits and giggles, I wasn't going to give him any more grief than I already did.Originally Posted by futiles

Yep surely has to be pure points. I agree with Kaens 100%. My team mate madeye has bean dived a new game every day for the last 1100 days for a different challenge/competition. He needs a ridiculous amount of achievements to even go up 1%Add me to the list of people who are out.

No, the team is straight score. Nothing about percentage included in that. If Kaens drops 100K in 3 months, that's 100K. Meathead would have to match you.While my example focused on just my own participation, I meant it as part of a team. I would be a huge detriment to any team that accepted me.

By the way I'm reading this is you can make your own team by asking around or you can just say you want in and you will be assigned a random team when or just before it starts.how do i make a teamOriginally Posted by andyboyishere

Honestly, it's the change. I actually won't even pay attention to a % increase thing. I mean, it's a hell of a change to go from random to made teams, but one people actually asked for in the thread. To go from a straight forward score increase to a percentage increase without any real reason is hugely different. He can track me, or whatever, but, yeah. I am teamed with Buck and Hotdog, both are in or around the 500Ks? So, it would take 5000 to make a 1% increase for either of them. Yeah, no interest in that at all.Ok, ok, lets just hold on. He's making the effort, maybe he just needs to refine the rules and since there is no prize as mentioned then what's the harm in joining for giggles as futiles put it? You don't need to work at it, just show up and then maybe he will see this as a test run season? What I'm saying is let's not kill this thing before it starts, because anything starts somewhere right?Originally Posted by B8TINGU

Understandable, would you be interested in maybe helping him flesh out some rules if he asked you? I know you and some others have some experience in this type of stuff and have helped others out before. Matter of fact I have talked with Hotdog about something like this awhile back, did I pass it by you as well? If not I'd be most interested in your input with what I'm trying to put together as well.Honestly, it's the change. I actually won't even pay attention to a % increase thing.

Depends on what he wants. I will always reply when people send me questions about my past experiences hosting things. I just have little motivation to actually run anything, anymore.Understandable, would you be interested in maybe helping him flesh out some rules if he asked you?

I wouldn't expect you to run it for him. I hope he wouldn't ask that, I wouldn't, unless I was giving compensation for time and effort.Depends on what he wants.
