MVL Round 3

MVL Round 3

"The Metaverse League"

Hi guys welcome to round 3 of the League. We have a few streamlining rules this round so be sure to check them out below. If of course we feel that there are not to our liking then we can change at the end of the round, but i think we are on top of most of the bugs now and things should go more smoothly. I will point out though that there is 1 rule that i will put in place this round that can be thrown out mid round.

"in the instance of a notified and accepted non-submital, not a "no show", in a 4 man team, a back up game will be allowed to be played be a fellow team member. That fellow team member will be randomally assigned by either myself or Firebender. A non submital with no explantion or prior notification will not be granted this privilage."

Ok here is the rule changes for round 3,

Team Bonus

Fastest team game time (average) 2 BP
2nd fastest team game time (average) 1 BP

Highest team score (average) 2 BP
2nd highest team score (average) 1 BP

Individual Bonus

For this round ( the different victory types),

1 BP for fastest and highest game per victory type.

No penalty's.

All ties, in both team and individual and in both speed and score categories, receive equal points.

Where's a score is dropped in any given team, that score, though no longer eligable for the MVL submission points are still eligable for any BP they may have achieved.

Averages are calculated from the totals of submitted games divided by number of members in the team. If a player gives advanced notice of his inability to submit a game then that player will not be counted as a member of the team for purposes of calculating averages.

I will before the end of this round post a new thread that will be the MVL Rule Book. Where these changes and the rest of the rules will be outlined, but do refram from posting in that thread please.

The teams as of round 3 are,

The A-Team (A)
Pndrev
Piznit
Dethadder
Xei Win Toh
Ferrel
Dystopic

The Blade Runners (B)
Neilo
TGE
Ghostwes
MarshallOneill
Vilgan
Noctilucus

Celestial Crusaders (C)
Playjeff45
Mumblefratz
The Butterfly
Firebender
Silverbeacher

The Domination of Death (D)
Brezelius
Mottikhan
Shadow Worrior
Elwood011
Kzinti

And now round 3, and Firebender this should make you happy.

Each team is required to submit a victory in each of the 4 different conditions. Your team captain will assign each player a victory condition to complete.

3 opponents on a Medium map.

Habitable Planets - common
Planets - abundant
Stars - rare
Anomolies - abundant
Asteroids - rare (DA)
Tech Rate - normal
Density - Lose clusters

Random minors
All victory conditions enabled
Allow Surrenders
Tech trading on
Super abilities off
Blind exploration off
Mega Events enabled

For team B, which has 5 players, the captain should assign his 4 team mates 4 different victorys and then play a game attempting a victory condition of his own choosing. Now we never really discussed what happens next but my proposal is that the two games that are the same, the captains choice and one of his players, these games could be combined and averaged to give us 1 game instead of two. Provided they are both victories. This is not in concrete but a suggestion.

The other way we could go is to leave it up to the team in question to decide which game to sumbit.

Either way have fun with round 3 guys and i hope these new rule changes work out well for us.

Good luck,

The Commissioner.

After some weirdness with the forums and myself i will try again...for those who don't know what i mean...search around, i shall let you have a laugh at my expense....

I have managed a game for this round. With the whole round to play i am sure i could have at the very least tripled my score...but in the true nature od the league i really did enjoy this game, it was a fast flowing game always on the brink of being broke..

I had fun....

My round 3 submission....

Could we see a run-down of the submissions thus far? I'm curious to see how things are stacking up at the moment.

Motti, I'm definitely glad you're on the same team as I, but next round you should be your own entire team!

Well... got crazy swamped, so wasn't really able to play a game how I wanted. Essentially hit end turn a bunch for a tech victory. Oh well, midterm time + lots of other things makes it hard. Hopefully I'll be able to do more next round.

Sooooo for the tech victory for team B I am submitting my most recent metaverse game.

Score: 5750 (Thank god for no lowest score penalty!)
Time: 2 years
Difficulty: Challenging
Race: Altarian (wanted to get them out of the way for my race medal )

Am looking forward to the next round!

For a game that did not play how you wanted, Vilgan, that is still a fast time. Well done!!

Yes, a tech victory in 2 years is fast indeed! Too bad the metaverse score doesn't reflect that...

Just eight more hours to go...

How do compete with a 2 yr tech victory. Good job.
Reply #219 Top
Ok, about one more hour to go...
I hope mumble submits soon...


This is my submittion. I'm hoping it'll take the fastest diplomacy victory BP.

Score: 6630
Difficulty: Painful
Character: General Hawkins
Victory Type: Political Victory
Time: 3 years
Race: Yor Collective
DA 1.7 beta 4


Also, neilo you forgot to update the OP. These are the changes that have been put into effect(correct me if I'm wrong)

- No more 1st, 2nd, 3rd 1 BP but a single BP awarded for fastest and highest scoring categories in each victory type.
Reference: Page 1 and 2 of this thread.

-The lowest scoring member of each team whose score is "dropped" will be eligible to recieve BPs but not the initial +2 submittion count.

Reference: Topic of discussion thread. Latest discussion.

Correct. Thankfully. I know I'm cutting it close but contrary to popular belief I do have to put in some occasional time at work. You do have to pay for all this fun some way or another, you know.

I still need to put in a few more hours once I get home from work but I'll definitely have something submitted before the deadline which is midnight of 10/17 (today) Eastern Daylight Savings time. Essentially everything should be cool as long as the Metaverse submission says 10/17 and assuming the post submitting the game to this thread says 10/17 as well.

Curses...

Well, now there are about 5 hours to go. Lets hope mumble can make it...

This round I've the lowest score in my team so my game is dropped.

Fixed the OP.

Well I made it with a couple of hours to spare.





It seems I was just able to squeak by Motti. I have to admit he set an awfully difficult target, particularly with only 15 planets in my galaxy. Just in case you have difficulty reading the text that's 85250.
