Counting Battle Scenarios Poll

What do "bounty points" do?

Those are the points you get for completing a scenario and writing an AAR.  There is a section that lists the highest bounties being offered.

Thanks, but that doesn't tell me what they do.   So, I get a 1000 Bounty Points, what happens?

You get your own parade!

They are fake internet points just like any other.

That kills off that idea.  Thanks for correcting me.  I thought they somehow played in to your rank.

Rank is just based on semi unique plays. It used to be purely uniques, but now the doors are opened wider for opposed plays as was much debated.

Bounty is just collecting the points for the sake of collecting the points. You can read more about it, and how they are calculated in article 8.

I voted for 1 (no change) because I would rather see pictures in AAR than any other three enhancements.

The problem with that, is that it currently isnt consistent. In some modules they are logged as scenarios, in others they are not.

Sorry Matt, I go with none of the above, but maybe with bits of a couple.

First I don't think the battle should count for advancement points. You potentially have 3 points with any given scenario and none for a campaign ribbon.

Neither do I. that is what I was trying to get across in number 3

There should be an award to stick on your page and look at though. Something like recording a scenario play would be best.

If the battle game record thingy ever gets off the ground, I suggest we also add mini-campaigns as battles. The Vorontsovo campaign, from PG: The East for example, or the distinct sections from Campaigns & Commanders, like the desert campaigns. Maybe the grouped scenarios like the Twin Villages battles (ElsR 5-8), but that would require creativity on out part.

I agree. The scenarios are scenarios and should be pointed as such. The campaigns, tied scenarios, and battles deserve to be acknowledged, but not in the same way as the scenarios. I do not think they should count as advancement points, that is just for the scenarios themselves. I like the idea of some addition to the campaign ribbon.

For my part, I see the battle game idea as a way to gain notoriety on our profile pages without having to hit the high par of playing a complete game.

Precisely.

No, I don't think battle games should count for advancement. 2 reasons for that. First, campaign ribbons don't count for advancement (nor articles, bounty points or anything else), so battle games shouldn't either. Second, I expect some (many?) players will play all the scenarios in a battle game, whether published or otherwise grouped, but not actually playing them as a "battle".

While adding battle stars to/under a campaign ribbon would be cool, obviously they would need to reside somewhere before the ribbon is earned. Moving them to the campaign ribbon later would take some recursive code. Then there become the question of what happens if a player decides to go back and play through a battle game after getting the ribbon? Now that we can get up to 3 advancement points per scenario, that's a real possibility.

I think we just need to get the stars working. We can try to get cute things done with them later. (Graphics for AAR's would be nice too.)

Basically, they give you bragging rights.

Like anyone here needs any "right" to brag... We brag just fine on our own.
