Funmonkey54 and kjwkjw's un-FFRly Tournament - Page 17

**Tasselfoot** · 05-15-2008, 02:18 PM

well, you said initially that there would be 6 rounds. that still seems like a decent amount, given the content within each round.

as far as the final round... do what you want. i have no issues with anything. unless i do. and then you'll know.

**funmonkey54** · 05-16-2008, 06:27 AM

I put up the round 4 mentals. I will put up the games when I get back from school.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-16-2008, 12:15 PM

don't get the 1st mental at all.... is it intentional to have 4 groups of 2 smileys each? don't get the clues either.

mental 2... there is a clear error in the 3rd line. and i can't make sense of lines 6 or 7 at all. whatever the - is in there is completely throwing me off.

mental 3... is it the same cryptogram across all 3 clues? and, why do you have a number in there?

ugh... your mentals aggravate me so much.

edit: ok, solved #3... still would really like some clarification for #1 and #2, as 2 has at least 1 error that i found, and i don't understand with the R-6 means vs R6.... and #1, well, just makes no sense.

#1. No. The skip is unintentional. I did that because the forum would separate the "confused" like this for some reason: :conf used: Plus, think of the smileys as one group.

#2 An error? I will check again. And also, think about what - means. That should get you the question correctly.

Fractal_Monkey has mental #2 correct, so I am reassured. Lol.

**funmonkey54** · 05-16-2008, 03:09 PM

games up.

jonathanasdf · 05-16-2008, 03:37 PM

OMFG funmonkey you just ensured Tass wins another tourney... you know i can't beat him in music games~!

jonathanasdf · 05-16-2008, 03:58 PM

**funmonkey54** · 05-16-2008, 04:53 PM

well, actually, I didn't know you couldn't beat him. Sorry. I was in a time strain because I lost the file with all my games picked out so I had to find some really fast after school. Music games are the easiest to find for me.

Commandersa1 · 05-16-2008, 04:54 PM

Why do you like Dropple? The controls are horrible.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-16-2008, 05:02 PM

Controls are not amazing... *shrugs*

I'd also recommend /25 for Dropple, not /30...

beaten this a bunch of times:

perfected this a bunch of times:

this wasn't TOO bad:

jonathanasdf · 05-16-2008, 07:35 PM

hmm you can make rhythm fireworks not just a % of completion, because the score rises exponentially.

Find some exponential function that can even out the score. Maybe use max combo or something.... but that'd be hard to capture on screenshot...

Because if you do % of max.... then its not very fair because 1 more arrow could mean the world.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-16-2008, 07:40 PM

wah Jon, wah... that's how the scoring works. it's not exponential though, it's arithmetic. i would, however, cap it at 1000. no sense making it 1173 max score when all the other games are capped at 1000. and, really, if you get a score of 1 million + without max scoring it... you certainly CAN max score it. you basically have to FC at least 450 notes, if not more.

jonathanasdf · 05-16-2008, 08:18 PM

anyhow, I'll try to catch you on this... but 800 point loss in Fireworks might just make me not want to play anymore... in this tourney...

**Tasselfoot** · 05-16-2008, 08:22 PM

lol. what if you get a mental that i don't get?

jonathanasdf · 05-16-2008, 08:42 PM

very.. improbable

**Tasselfoot** · 05-16-2008, 09:04 PM

managed to get good times on the majority of the sub-10 second levels... it seems like the bonus scales based on how fast you do it. like: (possible bonus points) / (actual time taken). so getting 2 seconds on a level vs 4 seconds on the same level will get you many more points. had 1800 bonus points on 1 level that i completed in under 3 seconds.

guess that puts me 45 points off the max on that game... likely won't improve unless i really have to.

edit: also, you didn't lose 800 on RF... you lose either 450 or 600, depending on if it's capped at 1000 or not. give or take.

**funmonkey54** · 05-16-2008, 10:15 PM

Tass = I forgot the 1000 cap. I was in a hurry to get to a baseball game. sorry.

Jon = If you quit now you will miss out on the credits. Since Tass doesn't want credits, no matter what you will get at least 80,000 credits. It would be very unintelligent and childish to quit now. I know you are more mature than that.

jonathanasdf · 05-17-2008, 12:15 AM

actually, funmonkey, I've secured 2nd place... unless some person suddenly became very active in the last 2 rounds.

kjwkjw, just a recap: If mental #1 isn't gotten by either Tass or I by the end of this round, you will post a hint?

EDIT: OMFG FINALLY! 3rd try lol.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-17-2008, 02:39 AM

sup. max scores for the round.

**funmonkey54** · 05-17-2008, 05:30 AM

Congrats jon and Tass on the max score get. I had the score being divided by 30 because it was challenging and I knew you could do it.
