Good and Bad Scenarios

[Kool Kat]

Can I clarify here, is H2H an option to be used if designers want their scenarios 'endorsed' or
do all scenario designers have to have H2H playtest the scenario before it can be uploaded to
the database?
Following recent developements, I'm a bit bewildered!

For folks who are "bewildered" on the H2H process, the following quote is from the H2H Section:

"The Purpose of H2H Scenario Testing Area is to play test and critique scenarios created by members of the Blitz. The Blitz has many ladders and this section exists to provide support to scenario designers across the wide spectrum of games supported at The Blitz. A completed, tested and balanced scenario ultimately helps the community by adding to the list of available, challenging and entertaining scenarios.

The H2H Scenario Testing Area allows scenario designers and play testers to come together to approve new scenarios. Scenario designers can post their new scenarios here and players can help test these scenarios in beta form, assisting the designers by providing feedback in the form of test reports. Testers gain bonus ladder points for play testing scenarios and reporting on the game. Once a scenario attains the required score to become approved and is moved to the approved list the designer also receives bonus ladder points.

All scenarios which have successfully completed testing will be listed on the appropriate game's ladder and can be reported. Downloading the games is done through the Approved Scenarios link below.

Only scenarios found to be worthy achieve the Blitz H2H Approved status."

Also, there is detailed information found in the "Designer FAQ" and "Testing FAQ" sub-sections that covers both the scenario designer's and test players responsibilities.

IMO, the "heart" of the Blitz gaming ladders are balanced and entertaining scenarios developed for human PBeM matches.
