A new challenger has entered the arena!

Postby Doram » July 8th, 2015, 2:37 pm

Because the Runolympics are more popular than we originally thought (we reached nearly 30 participants!), we have decided to add a fifth team! However, since the current version of the Runolympics was originally planned for 4 teams, this will change a few things:
  • First of, the default name of the new team (as well as their color) will be Black Team. It references the remaining Olympic color.
  • This also means we need an additional team maker.
  • The new pattern for points is:
1st place: 12 points
2nd place: 9 points
3rd place: 6 points
4th place: 3 points
5th place: 0 points


As for events:
  • Family Feud was scrapped completely. A fifth team would require two additional rounds to be added, and would make the Runolympics even longer.
  • The Gaming Tournament has been reworked entirely, however two people per team can still participate. It would also last 4 additional days.
  • Bonus: We now end inside of August instead of stretching all the way into September.
  • Everything else remains the same.

As well as making things easier and allowing everyone to have a chance at being their team's representative, this should make the competition even more heated!

Good luck to all!

I already reserved the black team for our use. And since the teams can be named... well... :P

Also, I already have a design for Team Dark's emblem. I'll be doing it in the PC soon.
Some day I'll fix my sig.

I strongly believe that Star king and Doram will have a method to satisfy everyone, so no worries. :)

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

The problem with this game is that it mostly relies on how fast you can answer, meaning people in a timezone close to mine or who have more time than others have a tremendous advantage. Secondly, the problem with any Trivia game is that, this is the Internet. Not all game shows can work on Forum Games. The good thing with Wheel of Fortune and Family Feud is that Google cannot answer the problems cannot fill in the blanks or answer a survey for you (unless it's a very basic question). However any answer to a trivia question is just a Google search away.

Trust me, we've looked for a replacement, but there are not any to be found at the moment.

It can work if people are active.
