live (blitz) fights are in!

[Pav]

Finished today.

You can now issue a challenge for blitz match

Challenge will be active for 5 minutes.

If someone accepts the challenge you both get 1 minute to distribute some extra points to key boxer's attributes. (hand speed, strength, footwork, chin and stamina). If some points are left not distributed the game will distribute randomly between these 5 attributes.

Now you get one minute to decide strategy before each round. You get feedback on how tired you opponent is at more accuracy than during regular game. Every 20% instead of every 33% (fresh, OK, tired, jaded, exhausted)

If you win you get a point ABP (annual blitz point), if you lose you lose a point. At year end there is a new award for most points. "Clock cleaner" award.

Also you get another chess rating that is only based on Blitz fights, everyone starts at 1000 and go from there.

Cheers.

[Pav]

forgot to mention that at this time I will only allow one blitz fight at a time because I want to track how much resources it takes.

[Pav]

maybe confusing at first. Here is some help. www.box2glory.com/images/blitzhelp.png

[jetcat]

holy $@%$!^ now that's something
would be nice to be able to set the "blitz ready" status to let others know one is available for blitz

[Pav]

the icon will show that someone issued a challenge. And who it was. You can then accept that challenge at any time.

[jetcat]

OK understood.
I like it already

[martb6]

This sounds great

[chaotikal]

Pretty awesome.

[senator]

Any way we could do this during end turn while waiting on the fights?

[Pav]

I want to make it run without braking all the time first, then allow anyone to watch others fight while waiting. Then I will think about how to allow this to be played when login is off. Since I am going to open it to anyone (to get perspective new users understand the game) you might just play like that off the record while the game logoff is turned off.

[martb6]

I recall you saying that all points will be reset when you are satisfied that Blitz is running properly, just wondering if the points are working correctly because i have a score of 12+ but what i presume is my chess rating is below 1000.

[Pav]

yes, i noticed some problem with that I will reset when it is fixed. Any observations you made on when the Blitz breaks? I have not yet found the cause of it sometime just not moving to the next round.

[martb6]

I have had it freeze about three times in the first few days but thought you had corrected the bug because i have not had it freeze since then. I cant remember which rounds they froze in though.

[Pav]

i correct some bugs, but i know there are still some because i had it freeze on me since then. and seem like the chess rating is broken

[chaotikal]

In the fight we just had Pav, it didn't update my strategy for the last three rounds. Kept using the one I switched to keep it close, then I changed to try for Knockdown/stuns, but it didn't update the strategy to do that.
