Pok?mon Battling Tournament

Jingle Bell Whack
Holiday Battle Bonanza
Bah Humbug
25 Days of Pokemon Battling

i can't think of a good one :(((

are we doing themed challenges still?? if we are, it'll be easy to come up with some of them during the event but it'd be great if we could already have a stockpile of them before the event actually begins :D
 
Hmm, I like Holiday Battle Bonanza. I might use that.

Here's a WIP thread design, might change the font and make it more holiday-ish later:

Spoiler:

Any feedback on the point system?

Yup! We could ask the BSS for ideas too.

edit: I'll code the battle system tomorrow. I'm not 100% sure if I'll be able to prevent challenge battles from logging players with the same IPs, but I'll see what I can do. I intend to turn on logging for challenge battles too, similar to chat logs. Once the tournament is over, we (and the BSS?) can check the winners' battles and make sure they didn't force people to forfeit. It might be tedious doing that since the server doesn't organize the battles by username. At least we would only have to do it for the top 3, and this way we wouldn't have to bother with logging most battles. Plus it'll probably encourage more battling.

I'm assuming that once you have 0 points, you can't go into negative? I'm a bit iffy about the number of points given for winning 1v1 battles, but seeing as there's a huge margin of difference between those and regular battles I guess no one can actually abuse them. Anyway, I've posted a thread in the BSS forum to ask for help re: themed challenges! Hopefully this time we can actually post the challenges in certain intervals haha

re: battle system
are you gonna be pushing your code to github? i'd love to help out with that anyway i can!

Yup, check the commits tomorrow. Though you'll probably be in bed when I start working on it. I already added a really simple script for checking identical IPs. I'll see if it works when Steve implements it.
 
Sorry for triple posting.

I don't think I can prevent points from going negative (without putting too much time into it), so we'll probably have to do away with the "lose a battle = lose points" idea. It's pretty discouraging to casual battlers anyway.

edit: Never mind, I found a way to do it, but I think we shouldn't implement it anyway due to the above reason.

Love it! Go ahead and post to the main GT area as soon as you're able. I'll be having an admin open the area up tomorrow morning (USA PST). :D

I'll post it once Steve updates the battle server. I sent him the GT tournament scripts last night, so hopefully he'll get to it this afternoon/morning.
