duels

Post by **Bojan** » 26 Nov 2006, 11:27

Just one more thing needs testing, the completion of duels. That's why I want you all to vote on this duel:

Thanks.

Alredy done it btw will we be able to leave comments?

Post by **Bojan** » 26 Nov 2006, 15:46

No, this is what you are getting

So, do we get control over choosing who to duel, or is it random?

Post by **Bojan** » 26 Nov 2006, 17:15

Send out a challenge / accept it to have a duel running. Like it was before, except no comments. Also all duels will remain active untill a minimum amount of votes have been reached. Right now 10 votes and 1 day runtime is a minimum.

Cool. Like the fact that a minimum number of votes is required now. Do we get to choose the minimum time the duel stays active?

Oh, and will you fix it so that the participants aren't allowed to vote in their own duels? That would be lovely.

Is this only for Underground 1? Or can we have duels for Carbon too?

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 27 Nov 2006, 07:34

Duels will be available for all four games in the showroom, but limited to the Classic section only. I'd also like to see it limited for Carbon such that you can only duel within the same car class - tuner vs tuner, muscle vs muscle etc, but not mixed.

*Goes off to convince Bojan that this is a great idea*

Edit: This could even be taken a step further where you can only duel the same model car. At this point, it really does come down to which car looks the best, rather than a contest of classes, makes or models. Give us your thoughts on this please.

Great idea

I like how you added the duels to the showroom instead of creating a seperate page all together for it. I do like that you added a minumum amount of votes needed to end the duel and also minimum amount of time, but I think it needs to be longer than 1 day (would it be possible to have a minimum amount of votes needed in the first 24 hours be fifteen votes and ten votes minimum after 48 hours?).

I do think that making it so you can only challange the same car class IS A MUST (face it, you can't duel a muscle car and a tuner and expect people to vote fairly; tuners will vote for the tuner even if it's not better and the muscle people will vote for the muscle car even if it is ugly too).

Being able to only duel the same type of car would make sure the duels stay fair on all grounds, but I think going this far needs to be decided by all of NFS Unlimited instead of just a few peoples' voices (like mine) who agree with what the staff thinks. Whatever happens though, dueling only in the same car class is a must any way you look at it.

No one else has any opinions on this?...

Post by **Bojan** » 29 Nov 2006, 20:12

Duels are now public and are only available inside one car type. eg only RX8-RX8 duels are possible.

The 24h minimum and 10 votes overall minimum can change when enough duels are active. It will all depend on how it will perform.

You can start a duel directly here:

(the link is available on the classic categories pages right next to "Active duels" and "Finished duels" or on your profile page under "Edit details")

One thing I forgot to put on the list of things to possibly add: an indicator of the total people who voted (not for a specific car, just a total of people who voted for both cars).

corvyz6 · Post by **corvyz6** » 01 Dec 2006, 00:22

what about the ranking or status (won-2 lost-1) or how can i see if some1 accepted my duel?

Jaster_Mereel · Post by **Jaster_Mereel** » 01 Dec 2006, 02:17

You should get a pm if they accepted or declined. As far a s the rankings or status goes, winning or loosing just goes to that car's rep (don't think there is a way to see how many times you have won or lost).

Jaster_Mereel · Post by **Jaster_Mereel** » 03 Dec 2006, 18:53

I still can't start a duel... and I'm not in one...

Post by **Bojan** » 03 Dec 2006, 19:47

The max number of running duels and sent challenges a user can have is 3. After 3 days unanswered challenges will automatically be deleted.

Jaster_Mereel · Post by **Jaster_Mereel** » 03 Dec 2006, 20:04

OK, thanks.

Driv2Slow · Post by **Driv2Slow** » 03 Dec 2006, 22:59

a question to Bojan: when does a duel officially end?

Which means the duel will end when it has more than 10 votes and when it's been running for longer than 24 hours.

Driv2Slow · Post by **Driv2Slow** » 03 Dec 2006, 23:21

ok thx, but how do we know how many votes have been casted?

corvyz6 · Post by **corvyz6** » 04 Dec 2006, 00:16

u dont, now all u can see is how much % each car has. hopefully bojan will add the feature ur talkin about

Driv2Slow · Post by **Driv2Slow** » 04 Dec 2006, 03:09

that would be helpful

Post by **Bojan** » 04 Dec 2006, 09:34

Only percentage will be shown as showing absolute number of votes would make duels unequal in my opinion.

How bout if we include a win-loss-draw record in the stats of the car profile and also an option to see the duel history of the car.
