Elastigirl Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 What time on Friday do we need to have our scores in by? And it is figured by EST zone right? Just trying to make sure I get Friday's in by the deadline, since I am on the west coast.

Anim07734 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 The HP story is pretty much the definition of steriotype and formula. There is one character in the entire series and over 7 years only one of the children shows any actual development. If you've read anything else in the genre, you already know what's going to happen at any given time. That said, it's an incredibly easy read (especially for being 7 books) and a good introduction to the genre. Plus my youngest brother learned to read so he could keep up with the story, so I can't knock it too hard. Personally, I don't regret having read it, but have no interest in doing it again. So yeah, mostly here for the push-ups, but I do find the theme amusing. Quote Anim07734; God of Death in Training Tiefling Assassin and Artificer Maxim 70: Failure is not an option. It is mandatory.

Talvi Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Quaffle quaffle quaffle... 23 points!(Standard: 5 3 3 2 | Knees: 10 6 4) You could increase the difficulty of the matches over the 6 weeks by increasing the cap. I might be shooting myself in the foot by suggesting this though...

Relic Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm not bashing the game, I think it's great so far but...I definitely think that a handicap system is in order for future games. To enforce it you could just require that the 1 minute AMRAP be posted in order to sign up. I also would like if it was somehow* much harder for the seekers to catch the golden snitch. Right now the winning snitch will end up basically doubling their teams score (or much more than that :/ ). They should have to do more than just beat the other seeker's score to earn that much weight in the final score. *somehow = I have yet to think of a rule or system of rules to make this happen without being overly complicated. I'll put some more thought into it in case you guys agree with me 1 Quote To find piece with myselfI must first find a piece of myself Link to comment
BarefootDawsy Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Competition's hotting up already. I've created a spreadsheet to track everyone's scores. It's read-only, so keep posting your scores here in the forums. NF Pushup Quidditch Spreadsheet I've also updated the game schedule to fix up the mistake that @Mad Hatter found yesterday: Game 1 Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff Ravenclaw vs Slytherin Game 2 Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw Slytherin vs Hufflepuff Game 3 Gryffindor vs Slytherin Ravenclaw vs Hufflepuff Game 4 Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff Ravenclaw vs Slytherin Game 5 Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw Slytherin vs Hufflepuff Game 6 1st place vs 2nd place 3rd place vs 4th place Also @Endor, you've maxed out for the week, and you need to assign your points to a target Regarding the question of handicaps. What do you all think of using everyone's scores for this week to calculate them? Any suggestions on a fair way to calculate are welcome. Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment

Endor Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Dawsy I noticed hufflepuff have an extra chaser, I suggest their best chaser's points are deducted from @Yuen since he didn't declare he was an omnipotent pushup being from the planet Pecs before he signed up. 3 Quote Endor, LVL 45 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Feb-March 2022 Challenge Link to comment

Anim07734 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 A handicap I've seen in other challenges is to just base points off each persons' most difficult variant. For example, I'm currently at clapping/typewriter pushups (alternate each workout), so for me those would count as 1 point. If I decided to knock out a bunch of standard pushups to up my score, they'd only count as a half point (1pt base, divided by 2pt base for clapping). Someone who can only do knee pushups would count those as 1 point. Also, my current score (using the existing system) is 5x 10 typewriter pushups yesterday and 10-10-6-8 clapping pushups today, for a total score of 168pts, targeting Yuen.
