server wide pvp

Server PVP

intro
In the current PVP players start on a fresh account at level 0, I wish to suggest a server PVP that takes place on their server, where players get to keep all there troops and prestige. the aim is to gain prestige within a certain length of time in order to win a prize.

How Do you win?
In regular PVP you win by gaining the most prestige.The winner of this competition would win by having the largest percentage gain in prestige.
Eg
2 players.
• One has 3,000,000 and gains 300,000 prestige in the competition period taking him to a total of 3,300,000 prestige. percentage increase=10%
• The other has 1,000,000 prestige and gains 110,000 prestige in the competition period taking him to a total of 1,110,000 prestige. percentage increase=11%
• The winner would be the second player as he had the greater percentage increase

Who can enter
The current leader board will be split into 3 sections, ranks 1-500,501-1000 and 1001-1500. Theses three sections will battle one at a time for the prize.

Time Length
There are 3 possibilities.
1. Quick gain- a 24 hour competition
2. The working week competition- running from Monday 9.00 to Friday 17.00
3. The weekender- running from Friday 18.00 to Sunday 00.00
(Run on Haypi time so GMT)

How it would be adjudicated?
We know support probably doesn’t have the time to fully adjudicate another competition like the PVP server so attached to this is an excel document showing an example of the simple spread sheet. Experts could be used to fill out this spread sheet then one could collate the spread sheet and send on to support. If there are 5 experts each one fills it out for 100 players then sends it to one expert who then copies them into 1 spread sheet and forwards. To do this an expert would have to SS the leader board for the start time and end time of the competition and forward to all the other adjudicators via email so they can fill in the spread sheet. The SS would have to take into account two hundred ranks above and below the competition ranks to take into account all possibilities. These screenshots would also be sent to support as evidence so all support would have to do is send out prizes

Prizes
There would be 5 winners
1. 300 coins
2. 150 coins
3. 75 coins
4. 10,000 prestige
5. 10,000 in game money
This could apply to all three categories.

EXTRA IDEAS
I suggest running one category at each time
Eg
Ranks 1-500 do the working week time
Then ranks 501-1000 do the weekend times
Then ranks 1001-1500 do the one day competition
By running in 3 weeks cycles you can cycle around with lots of time in between for adjudication and prize distribution
So each rank gets to do each time length you can switch them around so different ranks do different time lengths each three week cycle

Not a bad idea. However, someone with a massive army could easily boost a friend to win them an ipad/iphone. You may argue that nobody wants their army destroyed, but i assume most people would sacrifice multiple armies just for the prize.

All the prizes are in-game. First place gets 300 coins, 2nd place 150 coins, etc..

Hey Nathan great post!! Thx for all the post u do. I like ur suggestion but I've got one problem: there r no outside game prizes. In pvp comps now, there is a massive sense of compettetiveness (don't think I Spelt that right hahaha) that u probably wouldn't Get if the prizes go to what u Want.

thats exactly it, people will try but not spend loads of money on winning so that it does become more about skill than about who has the most money

Hahaha I guess...

Another problem with that, dogs, is the fact that there are so many servers that it would be very expensive to pay for all the prizes, rather than having a guaranteed profit like the pre-existing PvP. Prizes that are free for Haypi to give out are the best option.

lmao im gonna bring this back in the suggestions thread too. this was an editting post that me and beast could look through so it would be greatly appreciated if i actually divert your attention to
