Though a new system will have to added for wager fights if we continue to use them in this system at least as far as I can tell.

@MelonHead

Yeah, I see that yall have been wagering in the hand-rolled system you've been using so far in the Arena.

I'm not sure just yet how wagering would work for the system I'm building into the forum, so I cut it til further notice.

@Mahz There ye are, good sir.

@DJAtomika

Okay, I promoted it to a ranked fight and added you as a winner. I assume Rilla lost, but he can update it if that's wrong.

It's kind of ugly for now but I think it works :







Above: Rendering glitch, but you get the idea.

@Rilla

Added the ability for Arena Mods to promote an Arena Roleplay from Unranked -> Ranked so you can create outcomes for existing roleplays.



All this stuff is super raw. Threw it together today. Lemme know if you have trouble.

Arena Chat Thread

@Rilla

I've made you an Arena Mod, though the only places that's visible right now is at the top of http://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/rilla and on http://www.roleplayerguild.com/staff.

Your only power right now is the ability to click "Edit Topic" on roleplays in the Arena Roleplay forum.



From there you can scroll to the bottom of the edit-topic page and find the "Ranked Outcomes" panel, though the panel is only active if the roleplay is ranked.

(Obviously I will need to flesh out more Arena Mod privileges like the ability to stick/unstick/close/open/hide topics)

Would it be possible for me, as Mod, to just go through the fights and 'officially' update them?

@Rilla

Okay, I will add a "Promote to Ranked" button that you can access on that panel. That way you can promote a roleplay to ranked and then add the appropriate outcomes to it.

Just a sec. Update: Okay, it's implemented now.

I wonder how this'll work for multi-man fights

@Rilla

You can add an arbitrary mix of outcomes to a fight.

Here's an example:

Arena Chat Thread

I know I myself have one arena win, with 1100 points to my name. No losses so far, not counting unranked stuff.

@DJAtomika

Can you link to the Arena Roleplay of that win so I can record it?

Arena Chat Thread

I'd rather have the Arena Mod account have it, that way if something happens, I can just pass the account to someone else, and you wouldn't have to remove Mod one account and re-mod another.

@Rilla

I'd prefer to just make it so that Arena Mods can appoint more Arena Mods and demote any other Arena Mod that was appointed after them (i.e. seniority). That way the system runs just fine if I'm away.

I discourage moderator account sharing since it messes up the logging/accountability system.

Because Melonhead, for instance, has 1400 points. If I were to rejoin the ranks, I'd be up 1275.

@Rilla

Ah, I see - because there are existing points in the system.

Is this possible:

Compile a list of all ranked Arena Roleplays that have already taken place along with the win/loss/draw status of each fighter in each roleplay, and I will simply port it in to the current system. If these games used a different scoring system than +100win/+50draw/+0loss, then let me know how it worked and I'll make it work.

Compulsory Introductions are hard

Welcome @Fylie!

How'd you find this place?

We're pretty laid back here. Hope you have some luck poking around in the roleplay & interest check forums.

Arena Chat Thread

Will the Mod be able to go in and manually update the points, to reflect the current ones?

@Rilla

No, the forum does the work of calculating everyone's points and win/loss/draw stats.

Arena Mods just have to do the work of clicking "Edit Topic" and then adding the outcomes like "Rilla Won", "Mahz Lost", "Green Lost" for a ranked roleplay. Rilla will get +100 points and +1 Win, Mahz will get +0 points and +1 Loss, and Green will get +0 points and +1 Loss.

Why do you want to be able to directly edit a user's Arena points? There may be a better way.

Do it tomorrow then. Hahah, I'll probably create an Arena Mod account for the Arena modship... thing.

@Rilla

Or I can just make your @Rilla account an Arena Mod. Whatever works.

Weird Thing - Making a Thread

@Jig

It sounds like when you originally submitted your Advanced topic, you simply lucked out and the guild was temporarily down (e.g. you landed on that "timeline" page). Maybe the guild was restarting itself or the caching server timed out. Doesn't look like it went down for any critical reason, but from what I can see it was only down for a moment.

I'm glad you didn't lose your post. I'm kind of paranoid of the situation where someone can click "Create Topic", hit an error like you did, and then lose their post if they didn't save it or at least ctrl-C it to their clipboard.

Soon I'd like to auto-save posts in the browser as they're being written so even in the worst case scenario the browser will remember your progress.

Thanks for the info!
