Scenario Testing

[K K Rossokolski]

In the previous thread, I got stuck into the H2H process for approving scenarios. I emphasise That this is NOT a go at those hardy souls who have tried over the years to make it work. Bloody hard to plough the paddock if the mule is dead. I am surprised they managed to turn any sod at all.

Pertinent points
1. By my count, three CS scens have passed testing since 2007.
2. My observation of the site over a long period clearly shows the top designers do not use the H2H system.
3. The system demands an absurdly high level of results. I re-emphasise we are testing games, not wonder drugs or rocket ships to land on the Sun.
4. The system rewards testers in a niggardly way. People put a lot of effort into testing FOR THE CLUB....they should be well rewarded.
5. No provision exists for comment as opposed to testing.
6. The program has limited capacity.

No point in gobbing on without ideas to fix it.
These are mine: :stir: :soap:
1. Scenarios are acceptable with three scores of 6.66 or greater, two of 7 or greater, or one of 7.5 or greater.
2. Any test scen scoring 3.33 or less is withdrawn and sent back to the designer's drawing board
3. Any scen in the program not being tested after three months is withdrawn.
4. The program be open to increasing test slots to meet demand.
5. Members may make a comments only evaluation, which could point out obvious errors or deficiencies.
Rewards
1. Any scen under official test is a ladder game, and win/loss/draw points are awarded as per the SM scale.
2. Both test players are awarded, for completed games, bonus points as follows;
SM1...20
SM2...35
SM3...55
SM4...80
SM5...110
Size is important, so big turn games give additional bonuses as follows
30-39 turns ....25
40-49 turns.....50
50-74 turns.....100
75 or more.......200

Any member making constructive comments gets 25 bonus points. These need to be a bit more profound than , say, "Rubbish" "Great". OC H2H Coy will decide if comments are worth a bonus.
