I love the winrate category! I would put win rate under Elyvilon since he/she/they is the god of not dying.
"ot see" = to see
I appreciate the all rune win order.
I'd remove "all the time," because it is out of context.
Maybe put fastest real time under Trog?
"; and" = comma instead of semicolon
perhaps, "In this category, players earn 3 points per distinct rune of Zot collected; 1 point per branch entered, 1 point per branch end."
chapioning = championing
"an additional point" just write "1 point". People are trying to speed read this.
"and are ranked by this score." redundant
"rank players according to this score." redundant
"and will rank players based on the number of such" redundant
"completing two Ziggurats counts as 56 floors." So is it repeatable? Or repeatable twice? 27x2 = 54 ... Not 56.
for each members' high scores. = for members' high scores.
Streak Length - does this stack with individual streaks? Rated how? How many points??
Clan Piety Score - explain which categories stack with individual points/rating/score from the identical category.
So piety is counted twice? The best streak is counted twice? In other words, which individual categories are discluded from clan score/rating?
Clans are ranked in the following categories, = Clans gain rating in the following categories, OR: Clans score points in the following categories,
(Consistently use either rating or points. It's confusing to use 'ranking' to refer to both leaderboard position and to cumulative points. Can just say: Clans are ranked by - OH!!)
Okay I get it. Instead of clan points we get 13 clan leaderboards, with the ... wtf? Call it an overall clan ranking instead of an overall clan rating. Rating implies gaining points, ranking implies leaderboard position. And then provide an example on a spreadsheet. You
NEED to give examples or everyone will get confused.
Make it clear that a higher rating or score means a ranking closer to 1, and the clan with the average ranking closest to 1 is the winner! I think this is way too confusing. Jagex has proven that players like big numbers, and the whole incremental genre has proven that players like big numbers going up! So trying to lower your standing in 12-13 different categories is just lame.
I have no clue what the harmonic mean means. Give examples.
Or better yet, just make points for every clan category and add a multiplier so that they all count towards the total clan points. That way we can have big numbers again. Also why was the main source of points entirely removed? Allocating background combos to individual players required a lot of collaboration and specialization. Is the point to make it so that players can get nice scores without playing? Yet we have more free time than ever... I'd rather earn points rather than having to learn the harmonic mean function. Is there a guide on how high score is calculated in-game?
"Tier 3: After becoming the champion of Ru and abandoning Ru, become the champion of Ru again." wut
Heretic should have a cap on how many times it is counted per game.
If clan wins are hard-capped then why are Nemelex wins not capped? Soft caps are better.
I like that we can't park characters. I heavily dislike that there is negligible value to playing outside your two best species. And if you do decide to stop playing deep dwarf and your next favourite species then you only get points if you get the best score out of what - 3440 players? Also Oka isn't the god of winning all the time.
So instead of playing a variety of species and backgrounds, it's a turncount tournament.So we have to win in under 20k turns and 3 hours, and one banner for winning 27 different species and 24 different backgrounds. Great. My fastest turncount is 7.5hrs and my fastest turncount is >50k. So I'm useless to my clan.
And say you get an amazing turncount win. Most likely it will only count for a combo high score instead of a background high score. You have to beat every other single player for that species and for that background? If it's gonna be a turncount tournament, then at least get more than one player get points per species and background.
You don't even lose combo points for dying. I agree that parking is an unfair advantage to players close to multiple servers, but now every single member of the clan has to be a turncount player. Oka isn't even the god of winning all the time. He doesn't have a reliable escape and three species can't even wear armor.
Do Clan Nemelex' Choices on one combo stack between players?
Do clan banner score banners stack between players?
"The clan is awarded points in the same way as an individual piety score using all of the members' games." This wording is good. Use clearer wording for clan nem and clan banner so that I know what is meant.
Yeah... It's annoying that I'm completely unprepared for the new format. I personally never play for turncount or speed, so I guess that makes me unsuitable for a clan. The devs really believe that out of
six players, no one can win on multiple species? Encourage specialization, yet no points for winning every species and winning every background across all members' games. This is stupid.
Give points for clans that clear each species+background.I didn't know breadswinging was a thing. If we're having a turncount tourny then we need an easy to use breadswinging macro that stops upon monster detection or custom %-hp, and more than one high score slot per species/background. Why not have the new tournament rules as a new format, and clans and players get ranked both in the old and new formats? That's how competitive speedrunning is done when there is a rule change. Both formats get ranked.
Question: If I haven't found Cheibriados by D:4 then should I just suicide..? What if my wanderer doesn't have max intelligence? Suicide? Or should I just pick the strongest background for every species and - how does turn count even work for stairs and petrify? Should I rush statue form? Or play BaAK CeAK DDAK DEAK DsAK DrAK FeAK FoAK GrAK GhAK GnAK HaAK HOAK HuAK KoAK MfAK MiAK MuAK NaAK OpAK OgAK SpAK TeAK TrAK VpAK VSAK hoping for a lightning rod?
Gonna spend a lot of time scumming xl:1 abyss. Guess it's time to get the old 0 winrate account up and running.

True, true. Because I SUCK at turncount
So I'm gonna go for a 5-game streak again.

Good
I'll look up some of the unplayed combos from last tournament.
