So You Want Quality CS H2H Scenarios?

[Herr Straße Laufer]

The database hopefully, could provide space for feedback once played and reported, as I said, one could be unable to report a game unless both players have filled in the report.

When reporting a scenario there are areas where ratings can be given along with comment fields. Active designers will read the comments and check the ratings? Though, I'm not sold on forcing players to use them.

Perhaps another utility could be, run the database like a football league, (British, not American, lol) where, every now and then, scenarios that have not been played a certain number of times get relegated from the database, a way of removing the deadwood perhaps?

I'm not familiar with the British football league, but (if you are referring to the H2H area) you are spot on. There are only so many slots for all CS scenarios and only a limited number to be submitted by each designer. Clearing out scenarios that have received little to no support, from the designers, is what we are attempting to do. Instead of making it machine run we want to keep "humans" in the loop. ;)

That way large scenarios could be introduced as well which, as re another post from HSL, would not be feasible to be playtested in h2h.

As I stated previously, large scenarios that are actively supported can be uploaded to the H2H area. But, in my opinion, a scenario which will require years to complete the test would clog up a scenario testing space that could be used to move a smaller scenario through the process. At the moment we do not have that problem.

As Chema stated, "I enjoyed all player testing my scns and thanks for your help, but in order to H2H section, I prefer to do an own and major testing game with some of my regular opponents. But I would like see the H2h section with many players working..."
This should apply to all scenarios, especially the larger ones?
If the label of "Blitz Approved" is what the designer is after, then having a scenario "close to complete" and actively supported through testing will help get that in a reasonable amount of time?
