Rules

The winning team gets badges.

This is a contest for teams only. If you are not on a team you can not compete but if you want you can try to be an obstacle block for those that are playing. Read last paragraph for details.

There are two parts to this contest.
Part one starts now and ends at the same time Monday.

Part two starts at this same time Monday and ends at this time the following Monday.

Each team will select 5 games. These games will be called flags. Whoever has the high score for one of the flag games holds the flag. The team that holds the most flags at the end of the contest wins.

If there is a tie for high score on a particular game then the team that did not initially choose the game has the flag. If neither team that is tied initially choose the game then the first one to get the score has the flag.

If at the end of the contest two teams have the same number of flags, we will enter sudden death and the first team to capture a flag wins.

Part one - strategy round.
Select your flags and post them here. Once they are posted you can not change your mind. Once we enter part two you can not submit any more flags which means if you have not submitted 5 games by the end of this round then you play with a handicap.

All games must be Flash and can not have a max (perfect) score cap such as Hexagon and Patience. The games must also have a decent point spread. Games that have a high score around 10 will not count because there would be a strong chance of a tie.

Part two - capture the flag.
Try to steal flags from the other teams by setting high scores in their selected games while at the same time defending your high scores in your chosen flag games.

You do not have to be on a team to steal flags. In this event a high score in a flag game is held by a rouge player that flag will not count towards any teams score until a team gets it back.

**Hobbes** · 01-20-2007, 12:41 PM

So how are we choosing the flags? Public posts? Cause no one is going to be the first to choose. I was thinking we could PM them to someone, Tenser is the contest Mod and I trust him not to cheat.

Also I was IM with Brody and we were thinking that maybe each team should be able to veto another teams game. Maybe too late, but just a thought.

**BRODYMAN** · 01-20-2007, 12:51 PM

^
What he said. I'm not going to be the first to post my games publically. can we just post them to a private contests submission type page?

**Kong** · 01-20-2007, 12:55 PM

I don't understand the benefit of submitting them privately. Explain it to me.

There is a deadline to post the games. You can come as close to that deadline as you want but if you go over it then you will forfeit your flags.

If a game is like Hexagon then another team can veto it and the team will have a short period of time to submit a new game.

It's like, if I show my games first then you will have time to strategize over all my picks before you release your list. If we all sent our picks to one person then he would post all the games at the same time so no one can have time to think things over. I thought of this too. I figured the best thing to do was to post them as close as the deadline as possible.

I like the veto idea, not to take away the other teams best game, but if I believe that a certain game doesn’t fit the criteria (score cap, too close of scores) then we should have a vote.

I have a questions of my own, what if two teams pick the same game as a flag?

**BRODYMAN** · 01-20-2007, 01:15 PM

If two teams pick the same game, then there are only 14 flags.

the team that currently has the high score will start with the flag.

I'd like to pre-emptively veto Curveball, on the grounds that I have no chance of touching that score.

**Kraemer** · 01-20-2007, 01:29 PM

I saw that coming, and there is no way that’s going to happen. There is no cap and it has a very good scoring system; it really is the perfect game for this contest. It's not our fault that the only two that would be able to beat that score are on the same team....

**Kong** · 01-20-2007, 01:38 PM

If a team picks a game that has already picked then they screwed up. They gave up a chance at an extra flag.

Maybe next time we will try the private submission. I think the added strategy that will be added by having public submissions is good.

This time there is not a veto but we can vote of games that don't meet the requirements.

You may win the Curveball war but by the end of Flag War I the Dragqueens will have mascara running down their pretty little faces.

War? More like a 7 year old getting shot with a 50 cal.

**Kong** · 01-20-2007, 01:46 PM

Typo. I meant Curveball Battle.

**sabby** · 01-20-2007, 01:51 PM

So what time on Monday is the final posting going to be allowed, just so there is no confusion.

**jeckel22** · 01-20-2007, 01:55 PM

Different people are in different time zones. It should be by the time the first post Kong made in this forum.

Mine says 10:18 a.m and I am GMT -6.

The time of this post http://www.retrouprising.com/showpos...46&postcount=1

4:18 PM GMT

**Kraemer** · 01-20-2007, 02:29 PM

It wouldn't matter for anyone unless they change their time in the middle of the contest. 24 hours from that time of the post. 10:18am for me 11:18am for Tenser and 4:18pm for Squall, either way you slice it, the time you go by is the time you summit it.

Wait, I think I just confused myself.:dizzy:

**thebird1003** · 01-20-2007, 03:26 PM

dam it mines 11:18 am. I guess i'll stay home for 1 day

**Kraemer** · 01-20-2007, 03:30 PM

You don't have to be there, your team just needs to summit it before then, you don't have to be there, it only takes one member to post the games.

That don't change my statement.:razz:

**Kugyince** · 01-20-2007, 04:13 PM

You boys are worried about Curveball? I would say that's one of the weaker choices on our list.

**tanc24** · 01-20-2007, 07:46 PM

This might be a lofty request, but can you create a Flash Games category in the arcade?

It would make it easier to sort through some of the High Score arcade, especially while prepping for a Flash Game competition.

**Kong** · 01-21-2007, 05:39 AM

That only tells me that you're unsure of your other two games. Either that or you don't even have two more games you're good at.:razz:

Let Dungeons & Drag Queens to be the first team to actually step up to the plate. While the other two teams cower behind their private forums, the real men are here to lead the charge.

Our five flags:
Curveball
Equilibrium
Plops
Raiden X
Springfield Snow Fight

Bring it.

**thebird1003** · 01-22-2007, 04:36 AM

We'll bring it and you'll lose it.:razz:

**Kong** · 01-22-2007, 05:17 AM

Deciding on just 5 was hard. That is why we didn't post them all at once.

I was secretly hoping and expecting you to pick Plops and Equilibrium. Springfield and Raiden came out of nowhere though.

Our last two picks
BMX Tricks
My House is Bigger Than Your House.

**Kong** · 01-22-2007, 06:15 AM

Springfield doesn't submit the proper score. It submits how many people you hit instead of how many points you get. I think I should fix this. Does this change your choice?

**Kong** · 01-22-2007, 08:11 AM

I changed the scoring system on Springfield Snow Fight. It now submits the real score. I also deleted all old scores. I think it makes sense to do this.

You may choose a new game or keep this one. Either way please let us know your decision as soon as possible. You might need to clear your cache (browser history) to play the new version.
