Posts from regarding the collection of skeletons in "Mr. Skelet Revenge".

... This is where they're talking about me! I've been hiccuping for half an hour now.

I assume that K0Lb@zzeR is also pursuing the following idea:
The thing is, it's not always possible to determine the "minimum" for a map right away, or at all (optimal Walkthrough).
And judging by what K0Lb@zzeR suggests...

The idea itself is interesting in principle, but only if you can send an unlimited number of saves... but if this rule is introduced, you can imagine how much the workload on the host will increase... I don't think any host would agree to that...
Sincerely.

Although, I was thinking... in principle, you could allow sending a save file a second time, but only... and in exchange for the player using the second attempt (they are given two in total), they should sacrifice something... namely, they cannot take the first five places, i.e., even if their result is in first place... they are only given sixth place... and also, 120% of the average result for these two attempts is recorded in the General rating.
As a result, this system will allow outsiders to rise in the General ranking... but it won't let them win the tournament.

I am against attempts to submit multiple saves to a tournament. This will ruin the entire ranking system. There will only be one formula, like AmberSolera's, where the ranking is calculated solely based on the placement. Otherwise, there will be confusion. Can you provide an example of something similar to what you are suggesting in real sports games? Where someone can use two attempts, but then their placement is determined in a specific way? And also, AmberSoler used to require an explanation for the chosen numbers. What is the basis for the number – not higher than fifth place? Why not higher than 10th or higher than 3rd? How can we optimally calculate this number?

To be honest... the numbers are just pulled out of thin air... guided by common sense... depending on what idea we're pursuing...

Secondly... and regarding the Olympic system... although in some events, three attempts are allowed, and the best result is counted.

Thirdly... if we want to increase interest in tournaments... we need something extraordinary... something different from everyone else... why create clones that lose interest in every possible way...?

Fourthly... if anyone needs a scientific explanation for anything, then with the help of higher mathematics and statistics, we can create something exactly like that... extraordinary and different from anyone else's system... and that will increase interest in tournaments...

9. The tournament starts on March 6th and will last until March 26th (inclusive). The results will be published on March 29th, 2007.

A request to players #7 and #35 (Johnnyback and Perpolken) to resend their save files (the files arrived corrupted). Please also send a copy to g-andrew@mail.ru for extra security.
