Trophy Gathering Competition

[cflnut]

I saw one happening over on another site and thought maybe we could do one here if there's enough interest.

Here's what I'm thinking: Competition runs for one month, Each trophy is worth a different point value from 1-4, double points if 100% or is attained within said month (must have 0% in game at the start of the month for double points) Boosting of trophies will be allowed as long as participants agree to it. Trophies must be synced the day before the competition starts, and on at least twice a week during the competition.

Thoughts, comments??

[TheNorm]

That's an awesome idea. Should make it a Hi/Lo event so that someone like myself has a shot at winning at least part of it.

[rollntider]

ok, do it ....set it up...

[cflnut]

I'm thinking of starting this for March, and would like to get some input as to rules. More so in the form of what people would like to see and would not like to see.

So far this is what I have:

• Competition runs for one month beginning March 1st & concluding March 31st
  
• Sign up ends closes two days before the start of the competition. (Feb 26 @ midnight)
  
• Each trophy is worth a different point value from 1-4,
  • = 1
  • = 2
  • = 3
  • = 4
    • Double points for each trophy if 100% game completion is attained during competition
    • Must have 0% in game at the start of the competition for double points to count
• Boosting of trophies will be allowed as long as participants agree to it.
  
• Trophies must be synced the day before the competition starts, and on at least twice a week during the competition.
  
• Each participant will post up the total amount of trophy that they have the day before the start of the competition.
  
• Participants must be active members of BSB
  
• The winner will be the one with the most points at the end of the competition, and will be crowned BSB's Trophy Collecting King.

I will be using the PSN to update and track the amount of trophies that we all earn. If you feel that there is a discrepancy in when you earned any trophy let me know and I'll check playstation.com to verify. This only applies to the first and last day of the competition.

There will also be a "Thanks for Trying" nomination for the person who earns the least amount of points. Must earn at least one trophy during the competition.

I would like to get at least five of us involved in this for more competitiveness, but will still run it even if only two sign up.

I'll also use this as the official sign up thread if people are interested in doing this.

how about team A vs. team B along with individuals?

the 2 with the most trophies can be the captains, then after that the top 2 winners of each month? BTW that would be you vs. Ben the first month

So with the signups we have....

1. CFLnut
2. The Norm
3. rollntider


also trophy whoring should be ok as long as its legal, i.e. no hacks. (my opinion)

also anyone want to play a game of madden 10 co op? Please?????

[cflnut]

Teams sound like an excellent idea. But should depend on how many sign up, as they should be even numbered. 3 on 3, or 4 on 4, etc..

We could track individual and team trophies as well, and give out an MVP to the one member who contributes the most to their team.

Yes whoring of trophies will be allowed, as there is no way to stop anyone from doing it and that is essentially what this is about. As long as it's done legally.

I'd also help you with madden, but I don't have it.

[rollntider]

I'd also help you with madden, but I don't have it.

rent it.... could be an easy plat....the online ones i want done before the servers go down... and its just playing with a friend... the rest I will get over time

Hopefully Ben will join and Zoo. Maybe we can get crewe involved also. BK could be a powerful ally on any team with his dedication to get the plat on games.

[rollntider]

oh and I know we said we would do LOTR this weekend. My daughter decided to try dragon age and spent 8 hours on it yesterday, causing my son to want to finish ratchet and clank

[cflnut]

Final week to sign up.

[rollntider]

Come on guys sign up.....we cant have a teams if we only have 3 peeps...

[rollntider]

I think we need to sign up Ben and BK just for the fun of it....

[cflnut]

or maybe there just scared of our superior trophy whoring skills.

[rollntider]

BK has some serious skills....he has like more plats in the shortest time on here...but yeah to get them aboard they are scared

[bigbaldben]

Just saw this...I should be in.

To clarify: if you complete a game (0-100) within the month you get double points for ALL trophies?? That seems like an awful lot, unless I'm misunderstanding.

DOuble points on that games trophies if you plat witin the month... other trophies still count as single.

your flattery has succeeded in baiting me.

[rollntider]

I just hope i am on your team BK... I wont win the individual award.... but the team award is a good shot....

[rollntider]

Contestants are :

CFLNut
Norm
Tider
Ben
BK


here is a proposal for team play: (just ideas i had, not trying to take over Nut's idea, but just some ideas to add to it, if we want)

The top 2 trophy winners from the previous months be the next months captains.
The captains pick in rotating order (lower seed picks first)
Have like 6 members per team once we fill those up, start rolling out to more teams
Individual is just that, we will still have individual winners, but this will give us whores that cant spit out plats like BK and trophies like Nut a chance to claim glory...



OK since March is coming up on us, who will be the first captains? I think Nut and ben since they have the most currently...then the top two guys will pick the next months...

[TheNorm]

My suggestion, once again: Hi/Lo.

Sounds good. I'm for anyone tossing up ideas, since getting everyone's input is the best way to eliminate any unfairness on my part.

If Ben is willing to be captain of one team then so am I. As for setting up the teams I've no idea how to do it.

My suggestion, once again: Hi/Lo.

Still trying to figure out how to work out a Hi/Lo. any thoughts would help.

Hi/Lo is simple: If you've got two teams, one team gets points or whatever based on the amount of trophies. Bonus points for the team with the player that gets the highest number of trophies overall, and bonus points for the team with the player that gets the lowest number of trophies overall. Obviously you'd need to set a minimum number of trophies to be reached simply to prevent someone (like me ) from just not going after trophies at all--say, 10-15 trophies.

If this turns into a free-for-all, everyone is on their own type of deal, then pretty much the same thing as well.

[rollntider]

Make the Hi/Lo be part of the individual competition? Minimum 15 trophies a month

for teams though we would want points.... I am for Ben / Nut being first team captains.

[rollntider]

Crew or Zo0 you guys interested? we need at least one more.... Sakura? Phenom?

[cflnut]

I'm liking Norm's idea for the Hi/Lo.
