About Rankings
(How Rankings are calculated)
Is it Fair?
Katie, the host bot, displays messages randomly including the $: Ranking XX messages used for the Ranking System. Since it will display the ranking messages only on occasion, it will make it easier to search through the log for those messages while everyone has the same % chance for the messages to appear when a kill, streak kill, or team kill occurs. Currently, the chance for a Kill/Battle Armor Bonus ranking message is 5%, an 4% chance for the Streak ranking, a 7% chance for the negative -10 teamkill/suicide message and Marked messages.
Q: Why am I at the bottom if my score is tied with someone else?
A: As you enter a new score category you start at the bottom with the rest of those with the same score. This also applies if 2 or more players get the same # of kills in a game. Those that got the kills first will appear higher.
Disputes
If you think there is an error please send me an email at randymgames@yahoo.com.
Improper pilot names
If your pilot name is offensive or improper in some way your score will not be listed. Also, please try and use the exact same pilot name when in Theme Park, because if you use another name even if it resembles original you could split the scoring between both pilot names.
Battle Armor Bonus
There is a small chance (about the same as normal ranking messages) that the message, "~~+%1 %t tons ~~+100 Rank Pts if 20 tons or under~~" for a Kill, and "%1 %t tons ~~+500 Rank Pts if 20 tons or under~~" for Streak Kills will appear. This message prints the pilot name and the tonnage of the mech being piloted. If the mech is 20 tons or under or is a Battle Armor or Infantry the Pilot is awarded that amount of Rank Points.
Category Bonus
By having the top points in a Category you can earn 1000 points per day for each day you remain at the top.
Dueling
'by typing -duel you can challenge another player on the opposite team to a duel. Another player must also type -accept in order for the duel to take place. Only the first to type -accept is involved in the duel. The winner of the duel must type -end once finished in order to get credit for the duel. The winner of the duel will earn 100 rank points, and the loser loses 500 rank points. See Duelist on the Occupations page for the class that specializes in Dueling.
Additional Details
Points are awarded in-game for Kills (+10) and Streak Kills (+100, set at 3 or more), and negative 10 points for team kills, in the Coolant's MW4 Theme Park server only. The chat message will read "Ranking: +10", "Ranking: +100" or "Negative Ranking -10" respectively. Negative ranking is only applied to any positive points you have earned that day - otherwise it will not affect your score. Negative points may explain why you have a certain number of Kills and Streak Kills but the points don't add up. I have do to this manually by searching for text in the log so it is NOT real time - will try to update sometime in the evenings. The Power Point Theme affects total points and if the kills and streak kills do not add up, this could certainly be the answer. For more info on the Power Point Theme (BattleBowl) click here.
Betting
Place bets in game by typing -bet10, 20, 50, 100, 500 or 1000. Your next encounter must be a victory against another player or you lose the bet (and lose the points). If you win you win those rank points and they are added to your total. It you leave the game before you get a kill you lose the bet. You do not lose the bet (cancelled) if the game finishes before a kill is registered. It is possible to lose points for the day with betting. Maximum of 10 Bets per day per player. You must have at least an equal amount of Rank Points as the bet you place. It is possible to go negative in total Rank Points with Betting. For more information on Betting click here.
BOT
Every time the Bot WRAITH is killed you earn 10 rank points. The particular bot may change at times so check back to the site often. Maximum of 5 kills (50 points) per game.
Marked
On occasion chat may display, "/n### %1 is MARKED. 100 Rank Pts to 1st pilot that destroys %1###" for a Suicide or Teamkill. The next player that destroys the Marked player receives 100 rank points. If a player destroys a Marked player within 1 minute of the Marked message that player earns 500 Rank Points.
Displaying Rankings
The server will periodically display the top 3 players in chat. To view the top 5 type -ranking anytime in the server (in-game and in lobby).
**Criticals
When a player receives a Ranking message they should immediately type -d20. If they roll a 19 or 20 (or 15-20 for uncommon mechs) they double their most recent Ranking score. If a player gets more than one ranking message back to back, the -d20 roll applies to the nearest chronologically. Don't wait too long as I only scroll down a little ways past the ranking message. If you type it too late you may not get credit for it. Click Here for a list of uncommon mechs.
^Games/Bets
You earn 1 point for each mini-game you win against another player. You earn 2 points for each special mini-game (e.g. Swig N Toss for the Theme Medieval) won against another player. Note: Games played solo do not earn a player any points. 8/23/10 - Earning Rank Points for mini-games is temporarily disabled.
Betting - This column also includes total points earned from in-game bets. See the Mech Bets page for details.
