The Minigame Race! Challenge 3 (deadline midnight 11/10)

[jimfinn]

So you may remember the Mafia Duel series of minigames that was recently run? Well, here we are to try something a little different that might be a fun challenge. Each week, there will be one minigame and a set of scoring rules for said game. This game will be found somewhere online, I will provide the link. Play the game, and send me a screencap of your best score achieved (preferably via PM with a link to a photobucket or similar, please include mafiascum in a second tab in your screencap if possible).

You will receive points for your score in the game. Running scores will be kept and posted in thread, and at periodic (and predetermined) intervals, the player with the lowest score will be eliminated. The first elimination will be after round 3, regardless of the number of players. Just like the TV show The Amazing Race, other challenges and fun times may pop up along the way. Stay tuned for the ride, you never know what to expect! Signups are in thread and will still be taken through midnight, but the first challenge is posted. This challenge must be completed by midnight EDT that switches from Saturday 10/16 to Sunday 10/17. No elimination will be made, but these points will count toward the first elimination, so score high.

Current challenge

Challenge 2: Stack them high!

In this challenge, racers must stack a variety of shapes high! Submit the pic of the level select page- levels completed will be marked with a green check mark. 3 points per easy level, 4 per medium, 6 per tricky, and 7 per hard. Good luck! Deadline is midnight of 10/27 into 10/28 EDT. The game link is below. This is also the last challenge guaranteed to be non-elimination, but it is a great chance to catch those in front of you to not fall in danger of elimination on future legs.

Challenge

Bubbles are everywhere! It's your chance to stop them!

Go to the following link for your chance http://www.addictinggames.com/bubblespinner2.html

The rules are simple: click where you would like to aim and fire the bubble. Get three of a color together to eliminate them and score! Oh, and every shot will spin the platform they are on. Every 10 points nets you a point in the game; screenshots by midnight Saturday into Sunday (hint: my time = 3:42PM now). Let the race begin! If you still wish to /in but haven't yet, do so in thread by midnight tonight and join right in for this challenge.

[jimfinn]

Screencap of your best score ONLY for points. Also, note the correction: it is one point per 10 points in the game, not per 100 - the message you received containted a typing error I just caught. As of right now, you may resubmit, though that rule is subject to varying from one challenge to another. In other words, if you send me a 763, then send me a 892, you will score 89 points, not 165 points.

[jimfinn]

The scores in the post above were arbitrarily chosen, and should not be interpreted to be real scores.

[jimfinn]

the high score is over 2 million, actually. so yes, someone has scored over an 892, just not necessarily someone on MS.

[jimfinn]

@podium: yes you can still in, but you are the last person I will allow to in. Please note that the scoring for different games will not be the same, race points are cumulative, and periodically the lowest score will be eliminated. More than ten-twelve players would cause the game to go excessively long, at least for the first edition.

Also, scores for individual games may be sent via PM rather than posted in thread, so that other players don't see them.

[jimfinn]

still waiting on two submissions. reminder to those two players: submit now. you have been prodded by PM.

[jimfinn]

First off, this was a non-elimination leg. Second, one person has still not picked up the PM reminding them to submit, so I'm giving them a little more time before I consider them to have failed the leg.

fixed

[jimfinn]

I think this is not a fair challenge... If you type in google super stacker 2 and images you can find a image with all levels cleared. I didn't do it, but there may be people who did..

This is why you need to include a mafiascum tab in the screenshot. Also, for those who forgot to save, if you return to the link, your progress should still be there.

[jimfinn]

1. yeah that would be against the spirit
2. yes, at least so far

[jimfinn]

Reminder, time for challenge 2 is ending!

[jimfinn]

nope, results should be up shortly from the last leg. There was a minor issue with a few of the submissions being resolved via PM.

[jimfinn]

with the withdrawal of inHim, only 8 players remain.

Standings

1. Llamafluff - 393
2. podium123456 - 316
3. xvart - 303
4. TonyMontana - 299
5. Antihero - 264
6. thebadone - 262
7. bv310 - 260
8. chesskid3 - 249

Challenge 3: Worm Time!!

That's right, it's time for a classic game - Worm!!! The link is available here http://www.addictinggames.com/worm.html Play on any level you choose, built in score multipliers will handle the difficulty discrepancy. Your points toward the race will be equal to 1/5 of your screencapped score. This is an elimination challenge, and the player with the least points after this challenge will be eliminated. Good Luck! Deadline is 11/10

[jimfinn]

The scores so far have been far higher than I expected - as a result, I have revised the scoring to 1/5th.

The scores so far have been far higher than I expected - as a result, I have revised the scoring to 1/5th.

Also, is this just because you dont want large numbers in the score total? or is there some weighting element to the game that im not aware of?

I am trying to use 200 as a guideline in the scoring for each game - Some games a good score is higher, some games a good score is lower, but that's just a ballpark figure

[jimfinn]

due to my failure to post a reminder to submit, deadline will be generous for a day or two, but please submit before the end of Friday night.

[jimfinn]

This game is having a real issue with people submitting on time - final reminders being sent out.

[jimfinn]

shoot sorry. inactives in the game are causing issues. new game to be posted tonight or tomorrow and all inactives will be given a 0 for the last game! Thanks for the reminder!
