Re: Game Thread Point Tracker [Learn how to earn credits here ]

Now now guys. This has only come into play today and I think we all need to just chill out a bit and see where this is all going. Ruebens local mod powers are just to help implement this new system, not to go through and delete posts at will. So let's all just let him have a go at getting this set up

Re: Game Thread Point Tracker [Learn how to earn credits here ]

Scary. :3 why don't you just use your mod powers to delete my posts? and then put a star by it?

no need to delete posts, that just creates lost context for people viewing the thread.

Anyways, I'll have a lot of time tomorrow morning, so I'll be working on the credit and point counts tomorrow (well technically today, but whatever. Let's just say within the next 12 hrs :3)

Also note, you can get a good deal of points from making threads too, although you won't be able to mass-produce threads for the sake of credits. Read the OP for more details ( ^)>

EDIT: Didn't notice you ninja'd my post until now, thanks for settling things down a bit

yup enjoy.

Anyways, I'll do a run later today of the threads and update points. I'm thinking about doing credit distributions once a week, sending some people 50 credits at a time on a daily basis is rather tiring, it'd be best to send out a whole bunch of credits at once.

Do it monthly or if you're really lazy biannually

Re: Game Thread Point Tracker [Learn how to earn credits here ]

Pardon me for saying but... this seems an awful lot of work for very little result 0_o

[rushyrulz]

Re: Game Thread Point Tracker [Learn how to earn credits here ]

probably shouldn't count rule-breaking posts, like multiple posts per page (looks at zak), jsin.

If I wait until then, I'll probably not end up doing it at all. xP

I have a very efficient method for doing this, don't worry. (^)>

We temporarily had the posting rules so that there wasn't a posting limit, all of those posts from Zak were in that time frame. Now the rules are 1 post per page (with a page of 20 posts) EXCEPT if the previous post was 6 or more hours ago; I haven't seen him break this new rule since it was implemented.

Re: Game Thread Point Tracker [Learn how to earn credits here ]

Sorry guys, I know I've been a bit lazy with this recently, I didn't realize how much effort it took to keep track of all these statistics. Anyways, I've been diligently working on a program to calculate the credits I need to distribute to each person based on the post statistics of each thread. You guys will be getting your credits shortly I'll also update the list of "approved" threads that are eligible for the credit distributions. I'll keep you guys updated

Happy Posting ( ^)>~

VERY Long Overdue Update ('v)>

Hey look! It's 2013! That means it is a new year and that is going to mean some new changes as well First of all, I want to sincerely apologize to each and everyone one of you; I am very sorry about how I have been neglecting this forum, letting it die, and not being responsible with my duties as a moderator. Words can not explain how terrible I feel for what I have done, I hope you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me >.< Having the sudden change of administration regarding Team Blaze leaving me administrating it by myself, as well as a demanding semester, and the addition of two-part time jobs, I've put this forum on the backburner for quite some time and I some point, the amount of backlogged work just became too overwhelming to even start to tackle. I know these are poor excuses for letting this forum get to the way it is now, but I figure I'd at least explain myself to at least give everyone here some understanding of what's happened. Anyways, to make up for my horrible mistakes, I've gone through the tedious work of sifting through the posts, tallying up posts, distributing credits, and setting up some new stuff in place. I hope I can bring all of you a much more enjoyable experience this 2013 in the "game" threads forum

Updates

Credit distributions:
I went through all the threads that were supposed to award credits and distributed credits appropriately. I still haven't done one thread (We shall write a story, 5 words at a time) because there's about 20 pages to sift through but I'll tackle that last one the next time I have a large block of time to work with. The credits were distributed in order first by credit amount and then by alphanumeric order.

Approved Game Threads name change
I've changed the name of these to Credit Awarding Game Threads. I didn't want to seem arrogant with my powers and I don't want to make it seem like I'm enjoying the process of approving and disapproving things. Also, the symbol has been changed from the star, to ($). Now, any Credit Awarding Game Thread will have ($) at the end of the thread title. Any thread created to impersonate a Credit Awarding Game Thread by putting ($) at the end of the title will have the name of the thread be edited without the ($)

Credit Awarding Game Threads list:
Has been wiped. I have one thread in there so far as of the creation of this post (the 2013 remix of ctrl+v). I'll add more as I get more things together.

Why the 2013 mixes for these new Credit Awarding Game Threads?
I have a tool that allows me to see the number of posts each user made in a particular thread ordered by number of posts. By making a new thread, I can count each post in that thread for credits, thus I can refer directly to the numbers that this tool shows me to make tallying points/credits simpler.

Points
Have been cleared. I'll start keeping track of them for 2013, perhaps think of incentives for having the most by the end of the month/year/etc. The point system policy regarding getting a thread approved for points has been removed. 1 post = 1 point = 50 credits.

Credit Withholding Cap
To make things easier on myself, I'm only going to distribute credits once a user has 500 or more credits waiting to be distributed to them.

OP Update
Updated with some the information you see here and a few other small things here and there.

Tallying System
I've devised a much more efficient system for tallying up posts, including the use of the tool that shows the number of posts by each user in a thread, the creation of "fresh" threads, and a nicely formatted spreadsheet that I've spent a while working on. Hopefully, this will make credit distributions less intimidating of a job for me to do and I'll be able to actually do them now

To a more promising year after the supposed apocalypse,
