Team A vs Team B (Read First Post)

It's battle of the teams.
____________________________________

Rules:
Your team is determined by the first letter of your username.

If your username starts with the letter A C E G I K M O Q S U V W (or numbers) you belong to Team A

If your username starts with the letter B D F H J L N P R T X Y Z (or symbols) you belong to Team B

Each time a Team A member posts, they will add 5 to our count and each time a Team B member posts, they will subtract 5 from our count.

If the count reaches 1000 Team A wins
If the count reaches 0 Team B wins
Each time a team scores, the game restarts at 500
If/when a team scores, send me a PM! that way I can update the scores

Scores:

On error, goto:
If anyone makes a mistake, go back to the post previous to the mistake, also, let the person know via PM or something that they didnt follow the rules, or made a mistake :)

This topic could be overtaken by people making mistakes so, I propose putting this into each of your replies:

Re: Team A vs Team B

Team A takes the score to 505.

And you do need to read the first post, just as you read the FRC Manual each year...

Re: Team A vs Team B

Team A going to 510

Re: Team A vs Team B

505

Is there a rule on how long you must wait before posting again?

500.

Also, the Games forum has a timeout mechanism to keep you from posting in rapid succession in a thread. (Or maybe in the forum, I don't remember.)

Tug o' war with numbers! Finally being skinny doesn't count against you!:D

Re: Team A vs Team B

485! FTW!!

Re: Team A vs Team B

480.

Just read the first post... please?

Re: Team A vs Team B

485.

And read the first post.

Re: Team A vs Team B

490

I think we should randomly denote a certain day of the month as double day where everybody adds/subtracts 10 instead.

Re: Team A vs Team B

495

and a Double Day is a great idea.

Re: Team A vs Team B

485

I am not fond of the idea of a double day, but I think there should be a rule of one post per standard page (15 posts) and at least two posts between each of yours (so you can't post at the bottom of a page and top of the next one.)

read the first post before posting (In Soviet Russia first post reads you)

Re: Team A vs Team B

490 up in here...

woot.

Re: Team A vs Team B

Re: Team A vs Team B

490

And read the first post, if you please.

Re: Team A vs Team B

490

I think the CD Games/Trivia forum time limit (however long it is) is quite long enough. That and a proposed 2-person limit in between your own posts should do the trick between them.

Oh, and read the first post before playing. You do want to know what team you're on, don't you?

Re: Team A vs Team B

485.

Maybe you can install an accelerated increment/decrement table with the values ratcheting up as you get closer to the score?

+/- 5: 400-600
+/- 10: 300-390, 610-700
+/- 20: 100-280, 720-900
+/- 50: 0-50, 950-1000

Or better yet, invert this table to get closer to the "scoring danger zone" faster, where the battles would be more "exciting".

Read the 1st post, or else.....

Re: Team A vs Team B

490

This is a cool idea. I just think it is going to take 5 years for anyone to score. At that point most of the people who were here to start the game, won't be here. Perhaps thats the point... Not sure, I just think it should be feasible for a team to score every month or two.

Re: Team A vs Team B

$*% (485)

I'm thinking maybe in the off season the scale should go 400-600. Its like a tug of war on a football field right now.

Of course, I only say this because my team is winning. As soon as it hits 500, we should keep it 0-1000!;)

Re: Team A vs Team B

425

why is it that twice in the row I post and am beaten to it by someone from my team?

btw the last time team A was winning is 3 pages ago.

Re: Team A vs Team B

430

Read the first post before you reply please! (Really, do it, rule changes!)

Re: Team A vs Team B

420

....... :rolleyes:

Re: Team A vs Team B

415

Just for kicks, I have computed the probable number of posts until we yield a winner to this game (assuming an equal number of team A and team B players, an assumption which is most likely false to some degree). Note: This was before the additional rules were added.

Spoiler: Don't hold your breath.

Re: Team A vs Team B

420.
J comes before K ;)

Re: Team A vs Team B

By my tally we should be at 470.(Feel free to check my math. Not sure how it went this long without anybody noticing it.)

Some how we jumped 50 points between page 3 and page 4. Also, somebody posted a 10 point change instead of 5.

So, for my post I am making it:

475

Re: Team A vs Team B

435

New rules to follow!:ahh: Read them!

Re: Team A vs Team B

405

Please! Do not ruin this topic by posting before you read the first post!

Re: Team A vs Team B

400 even, Go Team B

(Note: the 10 point jump was correct, as was the 50 point jump. The rules...)

Re: Team A vs Team B

390. Come on Team A!!!

Re: Team A vs Team B

385

Is it every 16 posts or the very first post in the page? They don't always coincide...

Re: Team A vs Team B

390

Top of each page...

Wayne! I'm tryin!

READ THE FIRST POST!

Re: Team A vs Team B

430

Make sure you read the rules!

Re: Team A vs Team B

425

From now on, lets make a post within the thread stating the rules have been changed. If there are future changes to be made.

Re: Team A vs Team B

I agree with Molten.

430

Re: Team A vs Team B

425

The rules DO state that the top post is worth 50 only if that fact is mentioned in the post.

Re: Team A vs Team B

415

(D comes before J)

Re: Team A vs Team B

EDIT:

425

Wow. I thought I was at the end of the thread when I posted....I guess not.

Re: Team A vs Team B

Jeff, that's not the intent of the rule apparently, please use 420.

ebmonon... I'm nut sure how you derived that. So I'll go with 430.

Re: Team A vs Team B

385

(1st on page...)

Re: Team A vs Team B

390

Please read the first post!

Re: Team A vs Team B

390.

/makes mental note to tell the rest of the H family about this one to get another team member or two...
