I would like to suggest something about the arcade...

[Zain]

I've noticed that Tosa is our Arcade manager, but he's hardly ever on, and we've got messed up games and messed up scores on our hands (I'm not dissin' ya Tosa, I just think you need some help). So, I would like to suggest that we vote in another Arcade Manager. I personally believe that I would be able to do this job very well since I have my own RPG site currently that is flourishing, and I run everything that happens there.

I hope I can get some positive feedback from some people so I don't look like a nobody trying to be somebody...

Thanks

The arcade could use a breath of fresh life it's true.

It's possible that arcade manager is somehow linked to administrator though...

[Zain]

Maybe we can work something out, I hope I can get some Moderators and Administrators to take a look at this thread.

[Templar Knight]

Personaly I think that ZainDustin should be the manager as he has his own well run site

[Zain]

Thanks TK

or we could just get rid of the arcade

[Beirut]

Not while I'm Asteroids King of the Org. you won't!

I want a statue or something first.

[Zain]

So, does anyone know if I could possibly be the new manager guy?

Zain for arcade president.

[therother]

TosaInu seems to be around quite often, although it's difficult to tell though as he doesn't display his online status.

Anyhow, I suppose the Arcade could do with dedicated overseer, perhaps even a Tournament or two. It's lonely being the only Tournament winner!

I'm sure Tosa and the Staff will give your offer due consideration ZainDustin.

[TosaInu]

It's possible that arcade manager is somehow linked to administrator though...

As far as I know that is true, sadly enough.

Edit: I overlooked/forgot something. There's such a thing as an arcade moderator(s).
Who will do it/what?

However, the thought that members other than the forum administrator run certain events, at least the day to day administration, hit home. Since arcade is still developed, there's hope it will have such an option one day.

The issue with false scores has been reported to the author a few times. No response yet as far as I know. It may be a hard to solve problem, as the arcade system is not just using PHP, but also less foolproof components.

Todays fix will be this: turn off all games but one. And build a tournament around that and swap it with another game after say a week. No hard guarantees thought that it will be rocksolid.

I'm not dissin' ya Tosa

That's not worrying me. I'm uneasy about the lack of a gamemaster and about the system not being solid.

[TosaInu]

The latest version is installed now. Might improve.

Cool, I'm king of the arcade

[TosaInu]

Speaking about improvements.

[Zain]

What can the Arcade Moderator do? I may want to take that job.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Any idea how the leaderboard scores are calculated now? Some people gained a couple hundred points.

It also appears to be laggy.

[TosaInu]

The same as before, but and you may have noticed already, that score is bugged. The first who plays a certain game is leader. So it has to be recalculated 'manually'. From what I understand, this doesn't have to be done daily.

It was never done before, so there are quite a few people who didn't receive the points they earned, rather not being listed correctly.

It may be a good thing if it's 'laggy' now: means it's actually doing something.

There are different permissions for the moderator, recalling from head:
-edit scores (delete error scores).
-edit comments.
-organise tourneys.

I'll post a list.

[TosaInu]

Hmm, you mean the entire arcade is laggy? Or just that leaderboard? Very laggy or just slower than before?

[TosaInu]

The next release is supposed to fix this false score bug.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Hmm, you mean the entire arcade is laggy? Or just that leaderboard? Very laggy or just slower than before?

Just the leaderboard. I would play a game and improve my score but it would stay the same, while other peoples scores would jump 10 points even though they weren't there. Now my score has gone up though.

I'm fairly certain you used to get 10 points for a first place position, now it seems you get 30. Still doesn't explain the scores though.

[TosaInu]

The scores are still the same (as far as I can see in admin):
10 for 1st, 9 for 2nd and so on.

[TosaInu]

Mod options:

can manage scores Yes No
can manage comments Yes No
can manage tournaments Yes No
can manage champs Yes No

[Zain]

Tosa, I'd like to take the title of Arcade Manager, please. Let me know what I need to do to take this title. Thanks.

-ZainDustin

[Beirut]

Money.

Lots and lots of money.

[Zain]

Lol, it's true. You are funny.

-ZainDustin

[Zain]

But, seriously. Can you moderators get to together and vote on my being the moderator or something?

-ZainDustin

[TosaInu]

I think member support is more an issue. Say 20 people from the top 50 leaderboard say yes and no more than 10 say no? Is that fair?

[Zain]

Sure, sounds fair. How do you arrange that?
