** NOW LIVE ** Car Face-Off!

[My Cobra]

open to just members to vote? Do we all start with a certin ammount of points and we can pick what we decide to bet?

[J]

You can wager the lesser of the two.. if you have more points then him then you can only wager as much as he has... and it is only open to members.

[J]

rules so far...

for entering into the face-offs you get 50 rank points.
you can wager anywhere from 5-50 rank points per face-off
only 10 face-offs can be going on at one time.
only 1 face-off per person out of the 10 total


face offs can last anywhere from 24-48 hours
winner gets amount wagered

more discussion...

Maybe you should have an entry form for it. Just a page like the registy page that has specific catagories.
Such as:
What do you concider your cars best quality? Worst?
have a block for coments, etc.

This will start each car out on it's best foot and give an equal stance.
You can make it so that you do this once in your website editor or something like that. If you just linked the chalenge to the contestants sites, I think that it would be to much like the ranking system rather than a completely different challenge system.

[J]

well, I really dont want to make it a completely different challenge... I kinda wanted it to be a way for the current users to get more rank points...

Ya, That seems to be a big subject with some of the guys doesn't it.
I like the idea though.

[Joe Friday]

Around here, when you challenge someone, you take it to the bridge where all scores are settled equally

[J]

OK, its enabled... give it a try.. let me know what you think!

[J]

[CODY2003]

should there be a graph of current votes?

I would say so.

[EddieGT]

Make the graph look like 2 cars drag racing...with the winning car further ahead, of course...haha

[CallawayGT]

while I'm still at the waterbox

[J]

Should I up the face offs to 20 instead of 10?

[My Cobra]

YEs you should. I was going to tell you that. Limit the number that one person can be in also. It woudl not be cool how one person has 5 out of 10.

I made it so the person could not make a face-off challenge more then once.. but didnt make it so they could not be challenged more then once.. I will make feex...

The limit has been raised to 20

I might add that in the future, great suggestion.

Side note: I added a 12 Hour face-off option.

[J]

Its been a few days.. what do you all think about making these things count for points now

It's about time. I need some rank points.

[J]

Final question before I make this live. Should the loser of the face-off lose the points wagered? Or should they lose points only if the challenger loses.

Does this make sense?

If the challenger wins then he gets the points and the person who was challenged doesnt lose or gain points.

BUT.

If the challenger loses then he should lose the points and the person who was challenged doesnt lose or gain points.


Thoughts please?

[My Cobra]

i say if you challange somebody and you do not win you lose points and the other person gets them. But if you have somebody challange you that you know has a lot better car and wagers 50 points you can not say no to the face off so you are pretty much screwed so i say that you maybe lose half of the points wagered. I dunno kinda have it so where it is more than nothing or people will not challange other people.

[J]

Well that was the point.. I dont want some decked out car challenging all the stock cars and reducing their rank to 0. I still like the idea if the challenger loses... hes the one that loses the points. If the person who is challenged loses, then the challenger just gets the points that he wagered and the person who was challenged doesnt lose any points.

[CallawayGT]

If the challenger loses, they lose say 25 points to the opponent.If they win, give them like 10 points.That way, you have to be pretty sure of yourself to instigate a "faceoff".
