So how the hell would you do this?

blackjack2300 · 04-18-2008, 05:11 PM

okay can do Fractal

darkness3608 · 04-18-2008, 05:17 PM

Hey I will join, playing game now

blackjack2300 · 04-18-2008, 05:22 PM

better score than on jmtb02

**Tasselfoot** · 04-18-2008, 05:31 PM

also, one thing about the scoring... you realize that games that are faster to complete overall will have a higher variance than games that take a long time.

aka, 50 seconds on scribble vs 60 seconds on scribble is a 100 vs 83 percentage, while 90 seconds vs 100 seconds on another game is still 10 seconds difference, but 100 vs 90 percentage. even moreso on longer games... 600 seconds vs 610 seconds. could still be a large time gap, but only around 2 percent difference.

good point tasslefoot

darkness3608 · 04-18-2008, 06:03 PM

This is the best I can do

**SoultakerNFH** · 04-18-2008, 06:38 PM

I want in if it's still possible.

Commandersa1 · 04-18-2008, 06:40 PM

My fastest time so far is 56.24, but blackjack's score is so hard to beat.

**pmonibuv1** · 04-18-2008, 08:16 PM

not the greatest score but it is a score that will put me ahead of the ones that didn't submit a SS.

**Tasselfoot** · 04-18-2008, 08:46 PM

so commander was telling me that he's been using a tablet PC. i guess that would make this a lot easier....

man, wish I had one or knew someone with one.

meh. seems a bit unfair to have a tablet to use for a game like this, but c'est la vie... i'm confident in my ability in other potential games.

Yep, it makes mouse games super easy. :P

blackjack2300 · 04-18-2008, 09:46 PM

did a little better and good job commander

**SoultakerNFH** · 04-18-2008, 10:05 PM

When I get home from work I'll start submitting some screenshots. My Kongregate name is Vunik by the way.

Edit - Can't take a SS because I'm at work, but I got 59.34 with about 3 big mistakes. Yay.

I'm fully aware of that. I took out a 10 second game for just that reason.

However, there are shorter games which I expect to have a low variance because of how they are played, and there are longer games with a higher variance. In one of the later games, my best time is around 6 1/2 minutes. The fastest recorded time for that game is nearer 4, and I can easily see someone getting 8+. The second round will be a bit under 3 minutes for the fastest people, and should be another relatively high-variance round. It's also the only game that will be reasonably difficult to complete.

That's also why I have an aggregate time leaderboard as well. If this system is biased towards the short events, the other system will be biased towards the long events.

Regarding the tablet: I understand why non-tablet users consider it unfair, but sadly I can't enforce the use of a particular input device from across the Internet. The only consolation I can offer is that a tablet will be of no use in the other games.

EDIT: pmonibuv1, is there supposed to be a screenshot in your post? If there is, I can't see it. Otherwise, updated all screenshots up to here.

**pmonibuv1** · 04-19-2008, 08:15 AM

sorry about that. i remembered that i had to post a screenshot right when i got into bed so i just posted it today.

**SoultakerNFH** · 04-19-2008, 08:32 AM

My home computer mouse sucks for this

. Quickest time I got was 74 seconds with it. I guess I'll have to try and get a good time on the mouse at work.

**Tasselfoot** · 04-19-2008, 01:15 PM

i wasn't really complaining about the tablet... just lamenting a bit.

blackjack2300 · 04-19-2008, 02:03 PM

so close god i am gonna snap
Edit:Hooray
