GTTSC 2019 – Discussion

It's been 5 minutes and someone already have 1800 points.. How?

Dedication, skill, not syncing unlocked trophies, mental and physical fortitude.

What is the "individual cut off graph" measuring on the main gttsc page? Seems to be different every week and not make sense.

Look at the Scanner's Stats... No update for more than an hour and all at once, 5 updates in 23 seconds... The scan has bugged, it's clear, I must not be eliminated ... ...

D72shadow said:Oh. Nevermind. The week 1 cutoff was 0 points. That is what made the whole thing look funny all this time.

Did anyone get the individual bonus for the second period? I am missing mine, and I wonder whether there is a problem or whether it just takes a while for the bonus to be distributed.

Zvetiki said:It is being applied in period 3. Someone has to manually go through all remaining users and apply the bonus. It will be applied to you if you qualify when they get to looking over your period 2 trophies.

PSXtreme_ said:Romano62_ said:I have flagged this internally. It is a holiday for the devs, so not sure when I will hear back. I believe the stance is, if you are not scanned in, then the points don't count, even if it was the scanner. Not the answer you want to hear, I would be crushed if it happened to me too. If something can be done, then it will, but expect the worst unfortunately

Zvetiki said:Haven' t got the bonus for period 2, but I got a PM for the specifics of period 3's bonus.

scemopagliaccioh said:We are working on awarding bonuses to everyone who is eligible as of this very moment. It takes a little bit of time to verify as it has to be done manually.

Keep up the good work, AK!

Closing in on checking them all Then comes double checking and then we apply them

Will the spelling challenge be tracked again so that you can see how far you got? I can't find any tracking so far, but I only did "T" so far. But I have plans for half of the sentence so far.

Lathandratg said:Sadly no. It would be a good idea for future contests for sure but it's not feasible for this one as people have already started going for it so wouldn't be retro-active.

Period 2 Individual Bonuses should now be awarded to everyone who qualifies. Many thanks to BeardedScot86 for his help.

If we missed anyone, be sure to let me know via PM or here.

AtsumaKarin said:Oh, that's a shame... so we have to keep track on it manually? No problem now that I know.

Thank you for this nice contest, it is fun. I hope the next periods will get a little harder than the first two (three).

Lathandratg said:Exactly what I was waiting for. I got my score early both periods and then have sat waiting since I don't want to waste many points. Should start to get busier now since this is the last period before you get the medal, so a lot of people will want to stay

Lathandratg said:Agreed. I just finished the spelling challenge. I do have a lot of just started games though with this being right after the Bean Dive so it was probably a lot easier than it should have been for me.

BeardedScot86 said:Ha, I know what you mean. I am supposed to complete some games for an event at another site, but I hesitate to go forward for fear of wasting points. (This sentiment will probably not persist for too long.)

BeardedScot86 said:If my wget|grep skills are not betraying me, 20 players with a perfect challenge record entered the contest, and all are still in.

BeardedScot86 said:I could understand if the failure was on my part. However I'm being punished for the failure of the site's scanners working as they should have.

I'm not going to hold my breath or take my ball and go home all mad. Just voicing a legit beef, IMO. Obviously I wasn't the only one affected by this.

Question about the team bonus.

Does it matter when in the active period you try to spell out the sentence?.

As I have just dropped a quick Platinum game down and there were many trophies between the letters required.
