Apologies for my lateness. I'm going to just change the Overall Standings 1. ThanatosUnraveld - 81 2. Eirinn - 33 3. Kruzer - 10 4. TristanTehGamer1 - 6 5. legacyme3 - 5 Rules Given the lopsidedness of the contest so far, I'm thinking some rule adjustments are in order. I'll contact all affected by these Also, I'll just be updating the standings with each post, instead of editing the opening post. It's simpler and makes more sense. Overall Standings 1.

Man, you earned trophies for a total of nine games, while my whole collection isn't much bigger than that Well, I guess I must take on any chances I have to participate. I'll have one of my guides finished the 25th (my parents spend the weekend away, so I can play non-stop without anyone telling me otherwise and also on my main TV), so if I can finish the other one before that date, or probably in the 2 days that follow, I can enter the competition in October. If no one posts any results, I may have a chance to blast through this competition in two weeks time. I guess this should be enough motivation to stop slacking off and get to work.

Five Games ( The Last of Us: Remastered, Need For Speed: Rivals, Assassin's Creed: Unity, Grow Home, and Limbo ) 2 Gold 4 Silver 21 Bronze ( 43 points ) Combined with the total from last week, this gives me a grand total of 53 points.

Alright, time for the weekly results, and overall results as of today.
Most Bronze #1. ThanatosUnraveld - 54 #2. TristanTehGamer1 - 50 #3. Kruzer - 25 Most Silver #1. ThanatosUnraveld - 14 #2. Kruzer - 6 #3. TristanTehGamer1 - 6 Most Gold #1. Eirinn - 2 #2. Kruzer - 2 #3. TristanTehGamer1 - 1 Most Platinum #1. Eirinn - 1 Most Trophy Points #1. ThanatosUnraveld - 96 #2. TristanTehGamer1 - 73 #3. Kruzer - 53 #4 Eirinn - 42 #5 legacyme3 - 5 #6 MattyIce - 1 Kruzer : MattyIce : TristanTehGamer1 : ThanatosUnraveld : legacyme3 : EX Palen : mvivas2010 : Since all of you are either competing or considering competing, I would like to run some potential rule changes by you, and see how everyone feels about it. I'm shooting for a proper balance here. You may have noticed some big changes in weekly totals this week, that was in part due to rebalancing from last week, which obviously didn't work out. lol Anyway, on to the proposals. •Second accounts. Should a user be allowed to use a secondary account? If so, what (if any) limitations should apply? Obviously they shouldn't be allowed to earn the same trophy on two different accounts. I'm leaning toward a yes, but perhaps limiting the number of games that may be used each month for the trophies. -The pro to this is that it would allow anyone who couldn't afford many new games to stay active in the competition. -The con is that it allows them to gain many trophies in a short amount of time which would be impossible for those sticking to their main account. •Trophy values. This is something that's bothered me from the start. I was torn on this while making the first post actually, which is why it was posted so late in the day. Are trophy values currently reflecting their difficulty with Silver being three times more than bronze, gold being five times five times more than bronze, and platinum being ten times more? Here are possible alternatives, though I'll accept suggestions obviously. Scale 1 Bronze - 1 Silver - 5 Gold - 10 Platinum - 25 This was the original scale, but I feared the platinum was too high and the gap between gold and bronze was too great. however, looking at the total bronze and total gold earned by all of us combined, I'm thinking gold will be much more than ten times more difficult to earn, and should be treated accordingly. Scale 2 Bronze - 1 Silver - 5 Gold - 12 Platinum - 40 Scale 3 Bronze - 1 Silver - 5 Gold - 10 Platinum - 25 Scale 4 Bronze - 1 Silver - 4 Gold - 12 Platinum - 30 •Game limit. Should there be a point deduction for each game after the first used to earn trophies? For example, if three games were used, 5% would be removed from your overall value for two of the games. This would again be a way of keeping it balanced between those who can afford a lot of games and those who couldn't. This is one that would hit me hard as I will be stocking up on games over the next few weeks. -The Pro is that it's more balanced. -The Con is that It's penalizing those who can afford to buy new games, and limiting them to only playing certain games. I don't feel right restricting them and telling they shouldn't play a game they paid for. •Handling rule Should we leave standings as they are after rule and scoring That's all for now. Again, if you want to be summoned (replied to) when I post point Most Bronze #1. ThanatosUnraveld - 54 #2. TristanTehGamer1 - 50 #3. Kruzer - 25 Most Silver #1. ThanatosUnraveld - 14 #2. Kruzer - 6 #3. TristanTehGamer1 - 6 Most Gold #1. Eirinn - 2 #2. Kruzer - 2 #3. TristanTehGamer1 - 1 Most Platinum #1. Eirinn - 1 Most Trophy Points #1. ThanatosUnraveld - 96 #2.

On the subject of second accounts, I'd say no, simply because I don't see the use. Why would you need a secondary account in the first place? I'm not rich by any means (in fact, I am below even middle class, and in the poverty line) but I still have enough to play, even if you added a secondary account, the user is still most likely constricted to their own financial means... thus, it would be difficult to "add" games then.
The only thing I can see this as is a total reboot of that user's numbers, so they can start at 0 and re-earn trophies they've already earned, thus having a game they can earn trophies in, but in that case, I think the user would have the unfair advantage of already knowing how to earn said trophies. It would just skew the numbers. The long and the short of it is I'm not seeing any benefit in the first place, only drawbacks and more questions. Explain to me why and how this helps anyone? As for a scale system, all I can say on the matter is this... the difference between a bronze, silver, and gold, really isn't all that much. I've earned many bronze trophies that were harder to get than silvers. And harder than some golds in the same trophy set. I'm of the opinion that bronze, silver, and gold, each should be worth a very minute amount of points (for example, 1, 2, and 4) whereas more points are awarded for a platinum, as it is a "full set" and the ultimate challenge in a game. So for your purposes, a mix of scale 1 and scale 4 is the closest to what I'd call fair, but I don't believe a gold should be worth 12 times that of a bronze (or 10 times, even). As for Game Total, no, it adds too many variables that take away from the experience. Let everyone play as many games as they want, with no penalties, bonuses, or any of that crap. This should just be for fun, to showcase how much we're all playing, not to compete at a high level for bragging rights. And the standings should be EDIT - maybe, if I can be bothered, to make it fair for those who have earned trophies in the past, I can make an "overall" trophy leaders ranking board of some kind, that will count trophies earned, even outside of this month's competition. But time+effort.

Secondary accounts? Nah, don't see the point of it. The same user could be placing twice in the standings, and people who don't have many games have no use for this, nor is it levelling the competition either. If a user cannot afford many games, at least they can obtain multiplayer trophies by playing with another competitor. This benefits both parties, or at least it should.

Scale system? As leggy said, some bronze trophies can be harder to obtain, simply because they drift away from the main storyline. Completing the game itself can award you gold trophies, but some bronze and silver are out of the way to the top, so you must replay some scenes/stages/whatever under specific circumstances and all to earn a trophy. Only platinum are clearly above the rest, as they can only be obtained after obtaining every single trophy. Probably we could use the rarity scale used in psnprofiles.com, as I've seen some bronze trophies being more rare to obtain than some silver or even gold.

I agree with legacy on the secondary accounts and game totals. Secondary accounts ( for me ) only served a purpose to try and get a platinum for every game I've ever played which is pretty tough. Although, if someone wanted to create a new account just for this competition I don't really see the problem as long as they only get to use one account. As for game totals, there is just too much to consider when figuring that out and it would be best to just ignore that completely.
The scale system should be somewhere between 1 and 4 ( like legacy said ) but I do think that the Gold trophies should be fairly higher than that of Silver and Bronze. Remember, some of the games that don't offer a Platinum sometimes offer a Gold instead which is awarded once all of the other trophies are completed. Granted, there are some Gold trophies out there that should be Silver ( or even Bronze ) but that is up to the developers. In addition, instead of worrying about the game limit to keep the balance, maybe you could substitute an overall Rarity rating for the trophies received. Though I don't think this will make a huge impact, it could still help out some of the users who can't afford many games.

So, I'm going to do what I'd said I'd do.
This is an alternate standings list (one that does not follow the rules done by Eirinn). Here is how it works, I just go to PSNProfiles, and There's no method to my madness, I just wanted everyone to know where they stand lifetime. This has 0 bearing on the actual competition, and I might frequently ----- legacyme3/legacyme3 - 52,410 Points Kruzer/SuicideREX - 51,645 Points TristanTehGamer1/TristanTehGamer1 - 32,850 Points ThanatosUnraveld/dove2016 - 19,710 Points EX Palen/Garsiz - 6,105 Points MattyIce/Weesumm - 6,000 Points mvivas2010/enderkill9 - 4,290 Points Eirinn/Eirinn87 - 0 Points I'll summon everyone who I listed (not sure if I missed someone... also, why dos Eirinn's account have 0 trophies?)

legacyme3 : It's not that bad idea. Kruzer has less than 1000 points compared to you while owning half total games. Your standings really balance the fact that some people doesn't have access to many games. I think this is something to be considered. Instead of each of us posting here, keeping our PSN profiles I think this is something to be considered. Instead of each of us posting here, keeping our PSN profiles |

EX Palen :
Yeah, I think as long as everyone And yeah, Kruzer's got a wicked high completion percentage... I'm only saved by my sheer library size (thanks used games!) and trophy count (I have 2,307 trophies, which is the highest by about 500). My completion percentage isn't low mind you (I'm at 43.4%, which is third, behind Kruzer and MattyIce) but Kruzer's is just crazy. Some people can seemingly just play anything haha.

legacyme3 : I don't have any internet connection (I browse Vizzed from my phone) so I can't sync my trophies. Instead I took a picture of my trophy count at the start of the competition in case anyone wanted proof. I'll definitely sync once (if ever) I get a connection.
As for psnprofiles, it would actually make things much easier if I had a trophy log for everyone. That saves me checking individual profiles etc. However, I was unsuccessful in pulling up anyone's trophy log with my phone. If one of you can do that and post the direct link to the log itself as you and Kruzer did previously, and put them all in a single post, that would be great. Alternatively I could try pulling up everyone's card every week (if that works from my phone) or have everyone post their Also, please see the first thing I say to Kruzer as well. Kruzer : So I'm seeing that between you, leggy, and Ex Palen, we're leaning toward something like Bronze - 1 Silver - 3 Gold - 5 Platinum - 30 Sound good? I know leggy suggested dropping Silver and Gold by one point, but you and Ex Palen suggested that some were more difficult. I will say that in regards to leggy's suggestion, Arkham Knight has almost exclusively Bronze trophies, even for the more insane challenges. Many of them should have been Gold for the challenge factor alone, but then not all games are that way either. I feel Knack had a good difficulty to trophy rank balance for example. As for secondary accounts, yes, that idea is about people using an account solely for this contest. My only issue with it is that I do know earning a trophy that was earned previously on a different account is considerably easier. I agree on the game limit issue. Besides, this is for fun, not some high stakes $10,000 prize. lol You might win $20-$50 if you place first. Big whoop. xD Also how do you feel about standings? Currently one has said that rule and scoring EX Palen : Thank you for pointing that out about the PS4. I was actually unaware that you could earn trophies that way. That does handle much of the balancing issues for us. Plus it keeps me from losing points from playing my games. xD I don't have many right now (five, and only three that I can currently earn trophies from), but I will soon be buying up several through Amazon.

Eirinn :
I'll actually do the trophy log list for everyone right now. It'll take a minute, because I'm going to edit it into the post, but I'll hit everyone I mentioned in my PSNProfile rankings. On the other topics, I think we can roll with the scale you just proposed for a month. As this is our first time trying something like this, we will be endlessly tweaking the formula until it is just right for our purposes, and at present, I have no complaints about the system you propose. As for the second accounts, I'm still going to have to go with a no. It just makes zero sense to me. If it's just for the competition, there's nothing stopping me from starting over myself with a new account (I actually have an alt account with 0 trophies, and as you can tell from my games played, I have a lot of games with which I could get easy trophies, and dominate the leaderboard... I'm choosing not to do that out of integrity). I think this should stay just for fun, and adding second accounts seems to value the competition over the fun of actually getting trophies. ----- To come in this space, trophy logs.
