Internal Development
It'd be cool if things could just run themselves, but its a lot of work to get 'there'. (ie: for score submission and keeping a database and all that,m would need lots of CGI coding doing, and since it'd be hard to tie it into the forum, it'd need a login session manage retc, so a big drag. So not going to happen at least for a long time
As such, I think theres a few 'roles' at play, and anyone can do those roles; certainly I've tried to kick things off, but I'm totally welcome to hanging everything over to anyone who wants to run with it, if they and folks think they can do whats needed. But whats needed?
Each role could be mutiple couple of people, as long as they coordinate to not step on each others feet
- Scorekeep; for each game-round (such as Season 1 Game 1) there should be a post, that folks can reply to to enter their submission. Hopefully people will just edit their post if they want to update their score to avoid duplication, but Scorekeep will have to.. so the Score keep is to manage the scores and calculations, but not manage the posting/threading otherwise.
i) create the biweekly score post (before the round ideally), so that folks can reply during that round. Ideally, a mod or admin can pin the post for awhile and then unpin it sometime after the round is over : example http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/58385-rot-season-1-game-1-submit-scores-here-deadline-feb-12-2011/
ii) troll through the previous biweekly score post and build up the list of .. game-round-# / player / game / score - and achievements
iii) order the scores into the buckets and update the score post with the final round-tally -- player and how many league points they get that round, then hand the info over to league admin to update the master leaderboard post
- League Admin
Job is just to own the master leaderboard and FAQ posts, and be final say during disputes.
i) given the score post update from Scorekeep, update the running league tally in the main post for the season -- the leaderboard is probably what everyone is watching here.
ii) at season end, determine and announce winner, brag rights, etc.
iii) along with mods (pickle? prometheus?) pin and unpin the game round posts to keep relevent posts near the top?
- Gamekeep
This is the guy doing a lot of the posting to keep things moving, so the Admin and Scorekeep don't have to, and Gamekeep owns the game decision making process
i) Post and troll the current rounds nomination post and figure out what the top requests are, to be voted on. Example: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/58386-rot-season-1-game-2-nominate-games-to-play/
ii) Post the Vote, given the nominations, and after a few days, declare the winning 2 games that will be for the next round
iii) Post and troll the next round discussion thread for scoring ideas, so that the scoring method can be determined for the games than won the vote
iv) Start and maintain the current game round thread, announcing the games, scoring style, screenshots. ie: This is the post that would be titled like http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/58384-rot-season-1-feb-through-april-2011-games-leaderboard-scoring/
Anything else?
Given this division of labour, it should pretty easy to run everything.
So, nominate yourself.. who wants to be Scorekeep, and who wants to be Gamekeep, and anyone want to be Admin?
I can define the Scoring in precise steps based on the stuff in the FAQ; I've been tempted to write up an app for it, but thats a bit of a ways off
