Brown Bear & Red Fox Competition - 7000 em$ Prize Pool(over)

Post by jlferrell »

jlferrell's Red and Brown Buckshot Throw-down!
**To celebrate the recent addition of Brown Bear and Red Fox missions, a competition is in order!**
When?
Starts: NOW
Finishes: Sunday, October 27th @ 11:59 P.M. PST (gmt -7)
**This is so everyone gets a chance to participate!**


Summary
This is a competition based at Hemmeldal. In case you missed it, the species you are after are Brown Bear and Red Fox only. Roe deer will just give you a headache and moose a trip to the ER, so ignore them for this one, at least. Anyone with the proper weapons/licenses is allowed to participate. Any questions, just ask.

Objectives
There are four objectives for this competition. Your entry will be a total of these four scores:

- Harvest a brown bear using any ethical rifle and ammunition. (+1 point for a heart shot @ 100 meters or greater)
- Harvest a brown bear using any shotgun (slug ammunition). (+1 point for a heart shot @ 30 meters or greater, NO SCOPE ALLOWED to qualify for bonus; may still be used for objective)
- Harvest a red fox using any ethical rifle and ammunition. (+1 point for a heart shot @ 75 meters or greater)
- Harvest a red fox using any shotgun (buckshot ammunition). (+1 point for any heart shot @ 15 meters or greater, NO SCOPE ALLOWED to qualify for bonus; may still be used for objective)

Heart shots must be single-shot kills. I thought this was obvious but I should have clarified. Thanks JackRbbt.

To make this more challenging and hopefully random, these objectives must all be completed in the SAME HUNT! See below for more details.


It is your job to make sure you follow these rules. For information on ethical weapons by species, go here: http://www.thehunterwiki.com/index.php? ... ed_Weapons

Rules **BE SURE TO READ CAREFULLY**
1. Number of Attempts
You will be allowed 5 entries or attempts into the competition. This is a set number. Unless the server goes down for theHunter, no attempts will be refunded and no do-overs will be given. This is to ensure fairness.
2. Declaring Attempts in Advance
To enter the competition, reply to this topic expressing interest. Just before you click "Start Hunt" and load the game, edit your post and list the time your hunt started. Thus, you should only have ONE post in this thread (unless asking a question). I may ask for posts to be deleted once resolved in order to expedite the scoring process; please do not be offended by this as it is not meant to be taken in such a manner.
3. Reporting Attempts
Once your hunt is complete, return to the forum post and record its end time, a list of your four scores, and the total score for that entry including any bonuses you think you earned. There is NO waiting or holding back scores. They must be promptly reported. Note: Anyone in the prize pool at the completion of the competition with have their log reviewed thoroughly. These times and scores must all match. This rule is to ensure that someone only gets 5 attempts and doesn't simply try over and over again. Any questions, just ask.
4. Attempt Restrictions
No attempt under 2 hours will be eligible. No attempt over 3 hours will be eligible. This is real time and will also be reviewed upon the completion of the competition. There are no extensions. Thus, the max hunt time is 15 hours and the minimum is two. I feel like it's reasonable for most everyone to get a chance to play at least 10 hours in the time allotted, giving everyone a fairly equal chance in design.

Scoring
There will be a bonus for accuracy for each objective. See above under objectives for more information. Any bonus will be applied to the direct score of the harvest. There will be no other additions or multipliers. Hitting other organs does not negate the bonus, as long as the heart is hit as well. Example is as follows:

Attempt #1
Started: (list time)
Ended: (list time)
Brown Bear, (list shotgun used): 25.00 + 0 bonus = 25
Brown Bear, (list rifle used): 23.5 + 1 heart shot = 24.5
Red Fox, (list shotgun used): 26.5 + 0 bonus = 26.5
Red Fox, list rifle used): 31.0 + 0 bonus = 31.0
Total: 107

Prize Pool

1st Place - 3,000 em$
2nd Place - 2,000 em$
3rd Place - 1,000 em$
4th Place -- 500 em$
5th Place -- 500 em$


Additional
1. Only single player hunts are allowed. This is to ensure fairness. Credit to JackRbbt for catching this un-addressed issue.
2. Heart shots must be single-shot kills. I thought this was obvious but I should have clarified. Thanks JackRbbt.

Once again, if you have any questions, please let me answer them for you! Let the fun begin! Credit to David for the outline of this competition post.

Only single player hunts are allowed or multiplayer ones are also legit?

Thank you for asking. I over-looked this.

Yes, only single player to ensure fairness. One could potentially gain an advantage with help in a MP game, and not everyone may have that option. I hate to be so strict, but people will exploit things if they are given a chance. :(

Can you please clarify this for me:

4. Attempt Restrictions
No attempt under 2 hours will be eligible. No attempt over 3 hours will be eligible. This is real time and will also be reviewed upon the completion of the competition. There are no extensions. Thus, the max hunt time is 15 hours and the minimum is two. I feel like it's reasonable for most everyone to get a chance to play at least 10 hours in the time allotted, giving everyone a fairly equal chance in design.

Be sure to write the time you started your hunt right AS/BEFORE you start it. Either load the game and then tab out and post, or RIGHT BEFORE you launch the game (press start at the launcher), post at that time.

Thank you, glad to have you. Welcome all.

This comp is going to be tough. Remember, you only have three hours max per hunt to harvest four animals with three different weapons and only two will fit at any one time.

Some camping supplies, careful placement of a tent perhaps?

Edit: I was wrong, of course. This is not meant as false information, simply an error on my part. I would delete it, but transparency is best! :)

Edit #2: Blanquez, I am accepting you into the comp. I monitored your activity when you were posting on the forum. You were clearly hunting at RFF and then quit and started a new hunt at Hemmeldal right when you posted "1 attempt." Please make sure all future attempts are clearly reported with a start time right as/before you start. Thank you. If you have any questions, PM me.

If you hunt for more than 3 hours, the attempt is not eligible.
But the max hunt time is 15 hours.

Sorry I'm probably just tired and reading it wrong.
