Re: The RPG Tournament

I wont get shit for int to be honest, Yosh linked me to the third evo info and it doesn't seem to work for me. Just says "fails to load."

Re: The RPG Tournament

Inb4 I get another 1000 int

Also I have a gripe about round 1, if I got all 1000 points, how did Minhtam end up with 41? o.o

I wondered this at first too. It is because scores submitted late get stat points that are in addition to the thousand that were distributed for each stat, at an extremely reduced rate. If he were accepting late scores without giving additional points he would have to take some back from you after the fact, which would not be fair at all.

Re: The RPG Tournament

Dang, I have to say I raged a little. I was hoping AutotelicBrown's score would be considered late, lol. GG extension

Eh, I still submitted on the 09/10 time window so it wouldn't be late anyway. The first extension post didn't mention anything about ending the round before the end of the day.

this exactly. because you can see exactly which stat has the best distribution after i've calculated the spread, then unfortunately by submitting late, you have a stupid advantage over everyone

Re: The RPG Tournament

i'm going to call the round over, i have pretty much 0 time to do updates right now though, so final round and details for attacking people and stuff coming up tomorrow ish, thanks so much for all the patience guys

everyone posting scores -- he did officially end the round; there was no extension on score submissions to my knowledge. The extension was essentially for himself (for logistics purposes, i.e. being too busy to update).

EDIT: nvm, forgot about the PM he sent out

Which is exactly what happened. I didn't do Round 1 until I realized too late that it ended. Thus I was able to see everybody else's scores.

Re: The RPG Tournament

The extention messed my stat pick up a bit too, I picked my stat hours before the round would have closed. At the time it seemed like a decent idea, but after later submissions, eh, oh well. Round 10 is what it will be all about.

Re: The RPG Tournament

laaa 35 minutes

Re: The RPG Tournament

Round 10 is Here.

Finally, after what kinda seemed like an eternity of waiting, it's here.

I have to apologize because of all the delays, whether attempting to let people submit their scores, or because of life/schoolwork/etc.
but it's here.

So, Round 10 has a couple extra things, that you have to worry about.

But Round 10 is the round of dreams.
The round of comebacks.
The round of hoping that all the failures weren't for nothing.
also because we can't have TC_Halogen running away with all that strength, right?

Please submit to me all four of the stats for round 10. Order them from highest to lowest priority.

I will calculate your stat gain as normal for round 10 with the highest priority stat you submit.
I will give 75% of your earned stat points for round 10 to your 2nd priority stat.
I will give 50% of your earned stat points for round 10 to your 3nd priority stat.
I will give 25% of your earned stat points for round 10 to your lowest priority stat.

In addition, there will be a extra boost depending on how far back you ar in terms of total stat point count~

Round 10 also requires you to pick your own song, with the stipulations being:
The song must be longer than 1:45.
The song must be in the difficulty range as listed below.

D1 - 20+
D2 - 30+
D3 - 55+
D4 - 65+
D5 - 73+
D6 - 85+

and that's it. you may change songs, as long as the difficulty and length are appropriate. You still can't change your stat pick once you've sent it in. Good luck.

---------------------------------------------------------------

as for battle calculations, I said I was going to release it, so here.

hp = total stat * 100
lower total stat goes first because higher stat = more hp = bigger = slower (logic A++)

Compare attacking dex to defending dex.
If attacking dex is greater, take the % of the attacking dex that the defending dex, and multiply by .25, giving you the evasion rate
If attacking dex is lower, take the % of the defending dex that is the attacking dex, and multiply by .25, then add subtract from 50%

(if your dex is higher, you'll have >25% evasion, if you have less, you'll have <25%)

if the attack hits, go to lucky dodge check

if RNG-sama favors you, you will get dumb luck and dodge the attack. This chance is given by your luck stat divided by 4000.

If the attack (finally) hits
check for critical. Take the attacker's Luck stat directly and divide by 3000 for the critical rate.

If you don't make a critical hit, but your int is higher than the defender's int, you have a 50% rate of making a critical hit re-check.

if you still don't make a critical hit, the damage you deal is equal to your strength.

critical hit damage is determined by adding together INT and LUK, then dividing by 1000 and adding 1. Multiply this number to your Strength for your critical hit damage.

Then the other person goes. yay

good luck guys, rng-sama is waiting for you on the other side

on another note, i may stream the battle calculations to make things interesting. we'll see if it's even worth it

Round 10 will be 4 days long, ending on Tuesday, September 16th at 11:59 PM. No late scores will be accepted, so it's more important than ever to get your score in. However, if you pm me for an extension, i'll most likely grant it

Re: The RPG Tournament

Omg. The comeback potential is off the charts.
This looks to get interesting.

[YoshL]

Re: The RPG Tournament

keep in mind that this means you can get luck...even after you've exhausted your luck chances....

a couple other things that are interesting -

The top 6 people with the top 6 stat count are all from different divisions

http://challonge.com/FFRPG for the current bracket....see what's going to happen...

Placeholder.
So close to being D2 it hurts

Re: The RPG Tournament

I'm quite sure you messed my score for round 9, the spreadsheet says I got:
1699-90-7-8-34-1430
When in fact it should be:
2537-90-7-8-34-1430

I'm also the only one that submitted for strength under the Berserker class (everyone else was AAladin). Using MyNameIsNothing's score as reference (for convenience to not require any calculation as it is the same song), which is considerably worse and under a harsher calculation (AAladin), I'd expect a larger gap between our strength gains.

EDIT:

Compare attacking dex to defending dex.
If attacking dex is greater, take the % of the attacking dex that the defending dex, and multiply by .25, giving you the evasion rate
If attacking dex is lower, take the % of the defending dex that is the attacking dex, and multiply by .25, then add subtract from 50%

I can't understand at all what the formula is supposed to be from this text, especially at the marked parts; can you please clarify.

If the attack (finally) hits
check for critical.

I'd expect a more D&D-like mechanic where critical hits (at least natural 20s) automatically hit. Or Ragnarok Online that has a somewhat similar battle calculation to what you used but with the priority Lucky Dodge > Critical Hit > Hit/Flee Check.
This is blatantly biased, but I'd love to see this changed.

Inspirated by D&D 3.x mechanic where, when a critical roll would still be a miss against the oponent's AC, you garantee the hit but you need to reroll to check if the hit will be a critical or not.

So basically the idea would be, if you roll a critical and miss on the dex check, you get a normal hit.

tl;dr: how screwed I am with low dex and how likely it is to be saved by RNGesus.

Re: The RPG Tournament



This should suffice.
