Preannouncing battles

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 20 Jan 2011, 13:06

Sometimes people spent abit more time on levels and host 60 min battles. Some of those times very little people play those levels and battles doesnt turn out as good as it could have. Here you can preannounce when you plan to battle a little more "wellmade" level.

Tonight swetime somewhere between 18:00 and 19:00 I will start a 60 min FF I spent some 3h making yesterday (plus maybe 1h testing after it was done, I did not manage finish).

Its kinda uphillish but all parts tested and Ramone-approved

If this sounds nice, come EOL tonight!

You should've used the edit-button in previous post since there were only 2 minutes between these posts //Orcc

Najs topic, can be very useful. Friendly notice: announce time in gmt format, at least I will not bother searching what time is some mongo canadian or russian time. Swetime I can barely bother to figure!

Pawq, I did not know. And Ville, agree... just, I never know stuff like that, seems all others do.

Tonight somewhere between 18:00 and 19:00 GMT+1 I will start 60 min FF battle.

Nice site for time zone converting o,o
For example I converted 18.00 GMT+1 to 15:47 Hongkong time.

Nice site. I always think its a bit hard converting between time zones but this site displayed it simple and clear.

Edit: wtf? 18.00 GMT+1 to 15:47 hongkong?? you must've done it wrong. I got 18.00 GMT+1 to 01.00 the following day.

ville_j · Post by **ville_j** » 20 Jan 2011, 16:36

Lal, "very simple" yet u get different result. It still takes time to go google or wherever and find the site and then select the time and from what u convert and to what u convert... the list is endless! Avoid all this nonsense and write gmt in the first place, I expect everyone to know their gmt time.

Maybe he forgot to choose "use the following time". Default is "use current time".

I believe so too.

I'm kinda visual, so I prefer stuff like this: http://everytimezone.com/
Just drag the green slider.

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 28 Jan 2011, 18:12

Got an idea of challenge, so I tried to reach a few people to get in. Now I succeed to persuade Ramone (who told he stopped making levels

), FinMan, jonharkulsykkel. So we are 4 opponents because I'm in too.

The idea is to generate a level from NEW!, then all opponents get same level and edit see who makes best. Yes I know this is subjective, but whatever, this is just a friendly challenge. When its battled, designer ask people to rate on the EOL site.

The level gonna be this (it can be renamed):
challmw.lev

Design must be done when received because you have about 1h30 to make it.
So CURRENTLY BATTLED LEVELS, let's see who wins!

P.S. This is closed challenge for other designers, if you like the idea, I'll restart it later.

Here are the results:
Kekkone by FinMan 7.5/10
mw0270 by Mawane 7.5/10
One857 by Ramone 10/10
jon042 by jonharkulsykkel 8/10

Gratz Ramone, indeed amazing level!

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 28 Jan 2011, 23:05

very good idea maw. lets do that again!

NoZKeY · Post by **NoZKeY** » 30 Jan 2011, 02:18

I'm starting this Apple Battle level tomorrow, i don't know at what time exactly...

pawq · Post by **pawq** » 30 Jan 2011, 12:32

jezus christ o,o 60mins i hope? :P would be nice if you wrote at what time you will start it :)
omagad youre from chile, pls start it in the morning ok? :D so its not at night heer :D

Madness · Post by **Madness** » 30 Jan 2011, 12:40

Thanks for telling, by all means I won't open teh EOL tomorrow :]

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 30 Jan 2011, 13:59

analcactus · Post by **analcactus** » 31 Jan 2011, 21:33

kinda useless thread though

Orcc · Post by **Orcc** » 31 Jan 2011, 22:06

It would be nice to see Mopobattles revived. It's nice to have great battlers playing at the same time instead of just random battling all the time. I don't think this topic is useless, but the announcers need to give exact times instead of "sometime tomorrow".

NoZKeY · Post by **NoZKeY** » 1 Feb 2011, 00:26

Please kill me. I totally forgot about the balle.. i woke up too late that day and didn't play elma the whole day i think.
I will start it tomorrow 01/02/11 at 11:00 (AM)EDIT: 15:00 (PM) UTC -3 (chile time)

Usually i see many players around that hour, so it should be ok time

Madness, i officially hate you now ;_; You are a mean person.

pawq · Post by **pawq** » 1 Feb 2011, 00:49

cool noz! though its still too early for me :((( impsy a couple of hours later noz? like at 15 your time? ez 18-20 in europe then, so ez 100000 players :)

=۞۞۞۞۞۞

NoZKeY · Post by **NoZKeY** » 1 Feb 2011, 02:28

Ok Pawq, changed to 15:00! I go edit post...

pawq · Post by **pawq** » 1 Feb 2011, 02:29

Thank you very mega much ! I'll be there for 100% :)

ville_j · Post by **ville_j** » 1 Feb 2011, 08:10

What a fuck is 15:00 (PM) UTC -3 (chile time)? Ok I won't bother.

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 1 Feb 2011, 12:48

Bismuth · Post by **Bismuth** » 3 Feb 2011, 15:57

that's sure outta my range

welle · Post by **welle** » 3 Feb 2011, 17:11

That looks awesome Mawane. I'd really like to see the winner's replay afterwards. Could you upload lev and rec here or least link me to the eol page after it's finished, please? I think this would generally be a neat thing for all battles preannounced here.

Thanks in advance

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 3 Feb 2011, 21:16

At least with FF, there's a rec unlike Apple type. Anyway, would've been better Apple as people said.
here's balle info:

Not possible to remember which apple you got in applebattles ( at least for me ), it was better this way, i have no patience for these though

Lousku · Post by **Lousku** » 3 Feb 2011, 22:32

Print the map of an apple battle somehow megaquickly during countdown and then cross out each apple as you pick it. Reminds me of some GTA bongoing...

Zero · Post by **Zero** » 4 Jun 2011, 09:35

Most of killers are just to block shortcuts. And dont worry, killer spots is not even hard

Orcc · Post by **Orcc** » 4 Jun 2011, 10:51

So why not block the shortcuts with polygons o_O

ville_j · Post by **ville_j** » 17 Jun 2011, 14:49

Yesterday evening I balled a test event of the forthcoming LOTTO CONCEPT LEV in a closed beta group. It became an instant hit among the players, and now - not even a day later - the real deal is here:

FUN-FRIDAY LOTTO
The idea is, it's just luck! I give you this level:

It is battled as a one-life battle. You must choose the path with most apples to win. You cannot know which path is with the most apples (unless you try to cheat, but you must be very quick because all you have is one life and you might be dead sooner than you think!). I know you may think this is retarded... but hey, who isn't?! So come and join the FUN-FRIDAY LOTTO.

Prizes:
1. The winner will win The Lotto and get called as a lucky piece of shit, unskilled player etc.
2. Runner up and all the others get to read/write comments how the event sucked and was shittiest balle ever... that's going to be exciting!

Oh, and ofc the most important thing: The timing of the FUN-FRIDAY LOTTO:
The event will take place somewhere around 1308326400 (unix time) so be sure the get in EOL at that time!
