[Challenge] Bender's shiny metal ass

[a domestic cat]

We are pleased to announce Hirntot's one week challenge! To make the gameplay more interesting and especially more fun, we've decided to introduce a small competition. Medics are gonna revive teammates, engineers plant and defuse dynamites while everybody will keep fraggin'! There are rewards for winners, you simply can't miss this!

What?

To win the challenge, you have to:

1. plant or defuse dynamites,
2. and revive teammates,
3. and keep your K/D ratio as high as you can.

Don't forget about [!!!]Hirntot no HW, your score will skyrocket by playing on both servers!

When?

Start: 4th May 2019, 06:00 CEST
End: 11th May 2019, 06:00 CEST

Winners will be announced here on our forums during 12th May after collecting results.

Where?

• [!!!]Hirntot, 9 Map

  Code: Select all

  et.hirntot.org:27960

• [!!!]Hirntot no HW

  Code: Select all

  et2.hirntot.org:27960

Prizes

1. Bender's shiny metal ass lid with our tag, not used! But seriously now, it's a polished silicon wafer, a nice souvenir from our beloved leader Harlekin! Also, you'll be able to join a team any time, no queue for you for two months!
2. Instant team join - excluded from queue for 1 month.
3. Priority team join - for 1 month, you are gonna drive others crazy by overtaking them in queue.

Rules

• There must be at least 5 more players present, that is, 3vs3 or more.
• No intentional teamkilling for getting a chance to revive. TK + revive is fine, just don't overdo it.
• Only objective dynamite plants and only enemy objective dynamite defuses are counted.
• In general, no abusing is tolerated. You might be disqualified or otherwise penalized.
• One GUID = one player.

Score

Each player score is roughly computed by multiplying following values:

• dynamites planted or defused on [!!!]Hirntot, 9 Map,
• dynamites planted or defused on [!!!]Hirntot no HW,
• revives on [!!!]Hirntot, 9 Map,
• revives on [!!!]Hirntot no HW,
• K/D ratio from both servers.

Again, in order to win, you have to plant or defuse dynamites, revive teammates and kill enemies on both servers, as much as you can. K/D ratio isn't that significant, but keeping it nice is an advantage. Rambo medics aren't going to win. Just make yourself useful.

nice idea

[Monty on the Run]

Is it based on some sort of average, or is it whoever have the most dynas planted/defused or heals who are likely to win?

Is it based on some sort of average, or is it whoever have the most dynas planted/defused or heals who are likely to win?

It's simply a sum - all revives, all plants + defuses, somewhat multiplied between each other. That means that you could revive thousands, but with no or almost no dynamites planted/defused, you most likely won't score higher than a player who was both planting/defusing and reviving in moderate. In other words, the point is to maximize all those values:

• revives on Hirntot
• revives on No HW
• plants + defuses on Hirntot
• plants + defuses on No HW
• K/D ratio (that is, kills from both servers divided by deaths from both servers)

Note that you can plant or defuse, it's not necessary (and possible) to do both.

Also note that switching to spectator and back to the team (as some do that) has no effect. Everything counts, you can disconnect or switch teams during map without harming your score.

Let me know if there's anything else unclear.

Well, now that the Bender challenge ran and succeeded,

maybe why not doing another challenge for actually rewarding objective play and objective teamplay? I had quite an unnerving experience yesterday when I was the single allied Engineer throughout an otherworldly axis-dominated fueldump map. I screamed my lungs out for another engie or just simple backup, but not a single one of our dear nurses found it necessary to do convoy escort.
I know that this is not technically solvable, but maybe might be worth a thought if some admins at predefined times spec the average teamplay? Just a thought to improve the general teamplay, especially on the attacking side.

Nun, da der Benderchallenge erfolgreich zu Ende gegangen ist,

warum nicht einen neuen starten, der das Spiel ums Objective oder auch Teamplay ums Objective belohnt? Ich hatte eine recht nervenaufreibende Erfahrung gestern, als ich der einzige allierte Engie während einer kompletten, abartig von den Axen dominierten Fueldumpmap war. Ich habe mir die Lunge rausgeschrien, daß noch jemand Engie macht, oder um einfach nur Backup zu bekommen, aber nicht eine einzige unserer überaus zahlreichen Schwestern hielt es für nötig, Eskortservice zu machen. Ich habe irgendwann meine Anfragen eingestellt und mir gedacht, na schauen wir mal, wie sich ein single Engie mit reinem Objective auf so einer Map so schlägt, und das Resultat hatte es in sich - ich glaube es war bei 8:42 k/d Ratio.
Die Krönung an der Sache war dann nach der Map - einer unserer Schwesternspezialisten (Exzellenter Fragger aber ausschließlich Selbstschwester, nur soviel Patientendienst wie überhaupt gerade nötig), meinte dann nach dem Betrachten meiner k/d Ratio, ich sollte da doch besser speccen gehen.
Gottseidank ist es nur ein Spiel dachte ich mir, aber der Text obendrauf war dann noch der Hammer. Ich habe einfach nichts dazu gesagt und mir nur meinen Teil gedacht, aber das Teamplay suckte radikal.
Ich weiß, daß so ein Challenge technisch/automatisch nicht zu lösen ist, aber vielleicht wäre es den Gedanken mal wert, wenn mal ein Admin zu vordefinierten Zeiten das durchnittliche Teamplay specced und bewertet? Nur so ein Gedanke, um das generelle Teamplay zu verbessern, speziell auf der angreifenden Seite, wo das absolut essenziell ist.
Ich weiß einfach noch die geilsten Matches von früher, wo auch auf Pubservern echtes Teamplay ablief. Die krassesten waren dann, wenn die Teams etwa gleichstark waren und es 30 Minuten Tauziehen zwischen beiden war (9 Mal Dyna auf Fueldump geplanted und 9x entschärft) und es letztenendes völlig schnurz war, wer gewonnen hatte, weil einfach das Match viel zu geil war =)

I guess, it is time to come back to the Server to backup your ass, yoshi! ;P

[sNossi]

Yosh!

As you need a good engineer write to me I will help

Thanx for the Backup offer guys
I rly appreciate it
