Forums → Forum Games → Rocket Tournament

This one is simple. You're in a rocket (on the ground), and your job is to get it as high as possible. To do so, you have to get high scores on games I assign you. 5 people can join each tournament, and a tournament ends when someone reaches 100'000 feet. The tournament ends, the winner is on The Moon forever (another name for the leaderboard Despite the number being so big, it can take a pretty short time. Each passed round the game gets harder but the rewards get better. There's also a Perfect Score and a Par Score. Being below Par Score will make your rocket descend by a minimum of 200xdifficulty and a maximum of the amount for no score. Not submitting a score, or posting a score of 0 will make you descend by a varying number. Going BELOW a total height of 0 will make your rocket crash. Go ABOVE the Par Score and your rocket will ascend to a maximum of 4'000xdifficulty and a minimum of 200xdifficulty. Get EXACTLY the Par Score and your rocket will do nothing. Getting the Perfect Score and up if possible will make your rocket ascend by 5'000xdifficulty. There are 2 ways to win: If everyone but you crashes, your Hyperspace Boost activates and you go right to The Moon - no games neccesary! (in case of everyone crashing the tournament is a draw) If you reach 100'000 feet first (if multiple people do so, the person who is highest wins) you get to The Moon!
Did I mention that each round lasts 24 hours?

Let's explain it by examples. Here's an example of a ladder+summary:

-SUMMARY-
LEVEL: 12.5
GAME: LOLOLNOOBGAME
Perfect Score: Over 9000! (+5'000x12=60'000)
Par Score: 3000
DESCENT AT NO SCORE OR 0: -99'950 feet

-HEIGHT LADDER-
Noob: 078'300 feet.
Nooby: 067'250 feet.
Noober: 028'150 feet.
Noobsworth: --BANNED!!--
Noobington: --CRASHED!!--

Level is the difficulty of the games. The level increases every second game. It's also the multiplier. The maximum level is infinite, so win fast! *.5 just means a game has passed since the last level up. If another game passes the level goes up, and with it the difficulty (slightly) and the multiplier.
The perfect score is somewhere over 9000. Note that that pun won't intentionally be used in the real thing. Or will it? Naaaaah... Yeaaaah... Naaaah... So go over 9000 (basically reach 9001 and up) to get 5'000 feet of extra height multiplied by the level! Very powerful!
The Par Score is 3000. Top it to ascend your rocket and bottom it (lawl) to make it descend. Reach it exactly ON THE DOT and nothing will happen.
The descent at 0 is basically the maximum descent. If you post no score or a score of 0 you'll descend by this amount. The level does not affect it directly, however I'll increase it over time, depending on the game.
The game is the name of the game. Links are not included, so either search it or know where to look already.

Now for the Height Ladder explanation.
Not much is needed here, except I want to mention that getting a total height below 0 will crash your rocket. You're out of that tournament however that doesn't make your spot a hot seat! You can join only BEFORE tournaments. The first 5 joins in post order are counted.
If it shows --BANNED!!-- the player got kicked out due to rude, obscene or discriminating behavior, or spamming, or anything that resembles any of those in any way. He also cannot join for an amount of following games I specify, or in the worst case scenario, never play again.

To join, just say 'I enter my rocket' or 'I steal a rocket from the NASA' or anything funny, just as long as it specifies you obtain a rocket or enter one.

Only 5 people can enter each tournament! In case of a ninja, post order is followed.

You get 24 hours to play each game, and watch out -- you can only post a single score per round!

You cannot crash in the very first round. If you go below or on par, your rocket won't start at all!

Meanwhile, I'll go think of the first game.

-THE MOON- (After the first tournament, the winners will be here, along with the amount of times they won. If you win, your rocket takes 1 tournament to fly back to Earth. So you have to skip a tournament.)
Nobody has touched the moon yet... be Neil Armstrong!

Note: this game isn't complicated, don't worry - all that matters is, keep the Par and the Perfect Scores in mind, get the best possible score, and watch (see: read) your rocket soar!
