[25 May 2013] Mario Party Community Night!

mariopartylogo1.png
From complexity to simplicity, the Community Night returns; this time the night can be enjoyed by all with the introduction of Mario Party, so don't miss this excellent opportunity!​


Mario Party? How would that work?
A poll will soon be setup on the Main Site so anyone may vote for which Mario Party they would prefer to play during the course of the Community Night. After the game has been decided, subsequent polls will be setup to determine turn limit and the board played. All Community Night Participants shall simultaneously play the same Mario Party and board chosen by the voters! After the game has been finished, participants may record their star and coin total (or other forms of currency) and post them on the main site; they will then be ranked so they can see how well they've done.

Do I need photo evidence to post my score?

It is recommended, but it is not mandatory because there is no prize for winning. In extreme scenario's with suspiciously high scores however, it is actively encouraged to provide evidence to ensure people don't think you're making up the values. The CN is designed to be a night for fun as-well as a chance to socialize, so there's no point in posting made-up/exaggerated scores!

What is the Shoutbox located on the main-site for?
Participants may use the chat box for general chatting and seeing how well people are doing. Be sure to update your status after lucky/ unlucky events or every 5 turns and and tell us what's happening in your games!

What if I don't have the selected Mario Party?
Don't worry if you do not own the Mario Party selected for the community night as you can still get involved playing other Parties, boards and socializing via the provided Shoutbox, however it just means you won't be able to post a community night score.

When does this start?
The CN starts on the 25th May 2013

1:00 PM (13:00) PDT

4:00 PM (16:00) EDT

9:00 PM (21:00) GMT

10:00 PM (22:00) CET


Rules (These may change depending on the chosen Mario Party and Board)
Please follow these carefully to ensure the recorded scores are fair and legitimate:

- The event starts at the stated time.
- Settings: The chosen Mario Party, the chosen turn limit, the chosen board, single player, 3 hard difficulty computers,  no handicap/ bonus stars.
- Only the first run will count after the stated community night time; participants may use the same settings again afterwards, however subsequent scores will not count.
- Don't make up/exaggerate your scores! There's absolutely no point in doing this!
- Don't reset the game simply because you're having a bad run! Luck is a huge part of the game so there's no shame in having a bad score.
- It is encouraged to provide photo evidence of your scores, especially in extraordinary circumstances, but it is not essential.
- If you would like to post a score, make sure you clearly state it's for the community night!
- Be nice to others etc.
- Most importantly, have fun! :D

Hopefully I won't forget about this this time. :p
Though why no Bonus Stars? Handicap is totally understandable though. =P
Less luck when it comes to seeing how many stars you have at the end as we're trying to make it as you're trying  to get more stars than the others... or something like that. :p
How exactly is it less luck when the player is pretty much guaranteed the first 2 bonus stars? =P

Mini-game Star is easy to earn unless you are CONSTANTLY getting luck mini-games or mini-games with annoying control schemes lol

Coin Star is easily won by winning mini-games once again and there's always events like Boo or some other board events to help you get coins.
In the case of Mario Party 6's Orb Star, you should always be setting traps on the board and plus there's always the chance of getting coins from using your Orb which totally encourages Orb usage. :p

Happening/Action Star is the only one that's actually luck. Winning coins from mini-games requires skill (and luck sometimes), and using Orbs requires smart and constant usage. :p

In the case of 7/8/9 though I can see the huge luck factor for Bonus Stars LOL

Yeah the luck factor is too high in some of them so it's just more fair and easier to exclude the bonus stars, sorry.

If you don't own the selected Mario Party, we'd still love for you to join! :D You can also post your own scores if you wish and it would be great if you could also say which settings you used so others can (unofficially) challenge you. :)

Thanks for the interest, guys! :)

Ok looks like I won't be making it tomorrow; this stupid bandwidth is running out and won't reset until the 30th. >__>
...Though maybe I can still take my score and post it once I come back? I just gotta know which board will be played today. :p


Ok turns out I can make this b/c I have 2.5 GB left for the day LOL
I just gotta make sure the bandwidth won't go over. :p
