11 bounties so far

The week two bounty is going to be posted sometime this evening. I'm getting a few PMs from players with their scores, and you're all welcome to give me what you've got so far and add to it tomorrow. It's probably going to take me an hour or so to verify all the bounties, so the more I can do now, the better. Pain (not to single him out) has come up with a very good method in which he sent me a PM that he's updating throughout the week by editing the original post and adding fights as he acquires them. I think that you're welcome to send me your bounties however you choose, and I won't hold anyone to one method or another, just so long as I receive everything by midnight (EST) on Sunday.

By the way, excellent job so far - some of these scores are really pretty impressive. My hope is that the bounties will get more difficult as we go along, but you guys are killing it right now.

lol @ week 2 i love it

i've only got a couple so it won't take long to go through mine lol... i'm about to go to the amusement park so i'll pm ya when i get back.

Week four, being a special week, has been posted. I intended not to do this so soon, but I really want to give people time to prepare for it.

This week is one way in which players who fall behind early don't automatically feel the need to quit. It also injects some strategy into the game, and, I hope, offers a nice change of pace. I'm actively seeking suggestions and comments on this week. I've tried to discourage excessive ducking by offering a point for each fighter from an in-competition camp you beat. Do I need to do more? And is the multiplier for the victories you earn over the camp you're assigned to defeat too generous? Should it be lowered?

I think that the point bonus will get to high.

I recommend something like:

1
2
3

then reset back to 0

1
2
3

Or something along those lines, otherwise someone going from 1 point to 9 point per fight may win the whole competition on one week. Really good idea though for 4, aside from the point thing getting too crazy.

I'm trying to guess what the average number of victories will be, as well as what the average number of points by week 4 will be. I'm guessing that there will be lots of players with 50+ points by then. 1/2/3/1/2/3 seems a little low, whereas my system is too high. Would 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/etc. sound better, or is that still too high?

I think going to 10 is way too high, I mean why penalize the camps getting fights in. I dunno just how I see it.

Makes sense. I want this week to have an impact, but I don't want it to nullify all the other weeks and the work that people have put in to be near the top of the rankings. I'm interested in other suggestions when other players read this.

So I have been in Vegas for the weekend and was way too busy at work the last week so I've hadn't had time to get any bounties in... Hopefully it won't be so crazy this next week and I can try to make up some points
