Who vs who? I thought we're taking the week off too. Might be defending minimally on this one.

edit: Nevermind, I got it sorted out. (:



Riffus Maximus -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/4/2011 0:29:04)

The moment you all waited for:
[image]http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr272/Shadow-Manipulator/fdsg.jpg[/image]

So here's the scores:
Aerodu: -1054
VS.
Glacius: +1640

Congratulations to Glacius! You are the Grand Champion of Paxia!

Sorry, but our trophy/award designer didn't manage to make one in time.

Now we'll take a break of a few weeks to think of our next idea of contest. Feel free to use this thread to give suggestions or this thread for more details.

So far, a popular request is an attack contest.

Should have reminded me again. Now it'll look like it is my fault. I'll see if I can whip something up today.



137ben -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/4/2011 8:31:52)

Yea, we won[:D]



Se7en -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/4/2011 11:22:02)

AWESOME!



theosenia -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/4/2011 13:45:05)

Congratz to the champions! Well done!!!
...Although I can see D. being waaay ahead ALL the other clans... Anyways. Paxia HAS these strange outcomes,sometimes!

Now,to the point of this thread :

Well,ppl want a contest.I'll give you (imo) a challenge!

How about players interested in taking part try n bring the LAST 2 clans into the positives?! IF we wanted we could "divide" in 2 groups.Ppl who'd like to help Aerodu n ppl who would like to help Nocturu...we could check our weekely progress or we could set a "Fixed target"...let's say whichever group would/could reach a 50K defenses for one of these 2 clans first or smth...of course ALL clans would be participating in this,there would just be 2 main groups...We could have the whole week to defend n just a "boost" during the weekends as it's natural because ppl are more available during that time.We could post here who's been defending on what day for which clan n that'll be all provided we all do what we do when we say we do it! How about it? [:)]

This may sound a bit "vague" but I think:
1) we have the time/can "elaborate" n improve it n
2) it's not so much different than :take a screenshot before n a screenshot afterwards during a specific time interval.

It would be helping ALL these activities if we actually HAD a defense counter on our chars,but since we don't (...I hope we will in the future) we'll just have to go with what we have....Anyways! JUST AN IDEA/THOUGHT!



Wilderock -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/4/2011 19:21:23)

Actually, Aerodu's numbers are in the negatives. And -168,000 is a larger number than -169,000. Our actual increase was 1,054, according to the two pictures posted on this thread.

Aerodu had +1,054.

Glacius had +1,640.

So the results are still the same as far as the winner is concerned -- congratulations to Glacius, and thank you to everyone who participated!

I don't think an attack contest should be done, by the way. It will be the same contest, except obviously defense forces will only decrease for each team being limited to attack-only...not sure why we would want to do that.



Riffus Maximus -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/4/2011 20:24:42)

True, Ï miust've made a mistake while looking the screenshots. My apologies.

At least the gap was not so small afterall.

@Theonesia: Your idea isn't so bad, but that's just doing the same thing we did the last three years over and over again. There's no real purpose, no goal except reaching the positives. Unlike the tournament that just ended, which was a contest, and the desire to be the best was driving the participants to play, there is no competition to this idea, and people usually don't play if there's no competition. That's mainly the reason why we do contests, because people are more active in fighting each other, rather than defending and doing nothing. Hence why I agree with a fellow paxian who told me that Unity is what killed Paxia.

@Wilderock: So far, we're thinking to direct the attacks against Unity, to limit the damage done to other clans. Attacking something is sometimes more fun than defending, and sometimes it is fun to see how much numbers can fall when cooperating.



DigDog -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/4/2011 23:20:28)

Congratulations Glacius!

@^^: Reeeeally nice,as always,DIGGY! [:)]

Allow me to disagree with that. We COULD make it into a contest! As I said,we could have 2 main groups compiting on which will go there first.Plus I have a feeling that there might be a slightly more participation in this one from perhaps ppl who r "clanless" but still would be interested to play for a time interval to help to this cause...IMO u cannot say defending brings to nothing except if u r forgeting the way Paxia looked quite some time ago with ALL CLANS PLUS UNITY waaay down the negatives n only D. waaay up the positives.
Personally I'd love to have some other ppl's idea/opinion on this before "rejecting it at sight" but since I was thinking of your clan too when I proposed it n u seem not to find that "useful"...well,As u wish! [:)]

People who are clanless don't visit these forums and therefore won't know about the contest.



theosenia -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/5/2011 6:32:30)

...Perhaps...any OTHER main objection as to why what I said "cannot" be turned into a contest?!



DigDog -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/5/2011 6:51:23)

People would have to switch clans. Most people don't like switching clans. Also not all people favor Unity and couldn't care less about other clans and raising their defenses.

This would bite off a huge chunk off the active playerbase, leaving only a few people participating in that proposed contest. And if you split these people in two groups then you can count the participants in each group without breaking sweat and using more than one hand.

I'd rather see a contest where everyone can participate.



137ben -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/5/2011 8:14:09)

theosenia: your idea would only involve 2 clans. Do ya have a way it could involve the clans which are already in the positives?



theosenia -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/5/2011 9:32:31)

[:)] Yes,I do! Same form of tournament: 2 clans (already into the positives) "assigned" to the 2 clans "left out" (...for the time being [8D] ) N competing "against" which Clan would perform more defenses to help bring the scores closer to the positives...after a week we could proceed with the next 2 other clans n we could have a "helping Champ" or smth by the end of the turnoument.Come to think of it,THIS way it could work "just on weekend" if ppl prefered it that way...Yeah! Switching clans would be required...n boy! what a BIG "trouble" THAT is...as if it doesn't happen like all the time...!

EDIT: As I said.This IMO would be smth more than a competition...that's why I called it "a challenge".The idea "we strike n go!" "We strike n go"! won't be so much useful so yeah ppl will have to think about it a bit more.Still,just an idea.U can always accept or reject it.It's simply a matter of choice!



Se7en -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/6/2011 7:21:53)

I'll very much rather defend for Glacius than win a contest helping other clans. That's what war is about.



Riffus Maximus -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/6/2011 11:16:04)

I believe that's what most people thinks, that's why I agree with what Diggy said about the poor number of participants if we owuld ever do that. People fancy more on attacking others or defending their own clan.



137ben -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/7/2011 19:23:15)

so yeah ppl will have to think about it a bit more


How? Instead of "we go attack/defend", its "we go defend another clan". There is no more strategy in that, all that's changed is that instead of helping our own clan, we are helping a rival (or possibly enemy) clan.



theosenia -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/8/2011 9:54:39)

Ok. Ok. It WAS/IS a suggestion...if ppl DON'T want this,I'm fine! [:)]
Besides,with Lucians back into the negatives again,I am not "supposed to talk" about MY ideas...I guess...! [8D]

Why? You can still talk about your ideas, what does that have to do with Lucian being in the negatives?!?!?!



theosenia -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/8/2011 15:57:36)

I suppose so.What I meant is that I said: "Let's help the LAST 2 clans that r still in the negatives"...Weeel,that's not true anymore. Now there r at least 3 clans back into the negatives... So,MY idea doesn't seem to work that much now anyways!



Riffus Maximus -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/13/2011 16:52:59)

Alright guys, listen well!

A Chaos VS. Unity match is being planned for next weekend. Not this weekend, the other after.

Same rules apply for this contest. Read first post if you are wondering what those rules are.

Basically, it's an Attack VS. Defend challenge, directed at Unity. What it takes to win? Well, that's fairly simple. If the fluctuation of points f is negative by the time the contest ends, Chaos wins and Unity loses. The opposite if the fluctuation of points is positive.



drummy -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/13/2011 22:05:07)

It looks like I may actually be able to participate in this one. Does that mean I can't place bets?



BWNocturne -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/14/2011 6:30:02)

Is it Easter that weekend? 'Cause if that's the case, I probably won't be able to participate. Awh.
Well, maybe on Sunday after dinner. But that's a big maybe.



theosenia -> RE: Paxia Battle Contest! (4/14/2011 9:38:54)

Erm,excuse me n my silly questions again but I'd like to understand this a bit...

One of the main reasons my idea "couldn't work" was that
quote:

your idea would only involve 2 clans.
...Not to mention that "chaos" n "unity' r NOT even clans. [8D]

How exactly is this gonna be a "contest" between Paxia clans?

WHICH Clan n HOW will be announced as a winner this time?

Should we just go with a "chaos/unity won" at the end of it? Would that really mean anything to anyone?

I mean what will be the AWARD n to WHOM,by the end of it?

Unless of course this is a contest about INDIVIDUAL players but even so,there should be a way that proves how n in what degree these players participated,No?
