quick quick hockey FYI
are you sick of hearing about hockey? TOO BAD. but i promise i'll be quick.

i've got to do the final balance for sunday's teams, so if anybody has a character they still want to sign up please do it by 7am MST friday! form is here -> http://asylums.insanejournal.com/gooseberry/127530.html

characters can sign up to play (or drop out) at any point in the season but please don't do so after the friday mornings before games so that i can try to keep teams as balanced as possible. i don't know why keeping them balanced is so important to me, it just is. (actually, i do know: it means i get to play with spreadsheets! this beauty ain't gonna balance herself.)

okbyeeee

OK but for real if you could share your hockey spreadsheet with me (like, just so I can copy a version to my own drive), I would be super grateful. ;o; I was studying your activity tracker spreadsheet for like two hours just trying to figure out how you did everything and it was just me endlessly going ohhhh myyyyyy godddddd this is so coooooool on loop

oh lol this is marin fiiiiinally freed from 12 hour workday hell so righthandmarin@gmail.com c:

	hockey is shared with you! i gave you comment access but if you want edit lmk. if there's anything i can explain, just ask! (email or comment on the spreadsheet, idc) WELCOME BACK TO THE REAL WORLD, BTW. THE REAL WORLD OF FAKE MAGIC HIGH SCHOOL. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	use it to control the world, just do it. i actually have a question! how do you do the scoring with modifiers, etc.? i'm trying to work out a rudimentary way of doing it for hockey but i think i'm making it waaaaaay more difficult than it needs to be (and that way more difficult way is a pain in my butt.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Um! I've been tweaking my formula every time we do it, and I've finally decided that the fairest and simplest way to go is to just add the modifier as a bonus score. Depending on how much I want people's self-grade to matter, I'll change how much I want to roll (anywhere from 1d25 to 1d100).

The next time we do monthly bonding confetti bombs, I'll probably make it Self-score + 1d25 (maybe 1d30?), with a target of 40 to make it all the way? So the difference between someone scoring their character 2 and someone with 9 is substantial (a pair who each have a 10 is already halfway there), but that's fair if your characters are apparently such badasses. You're still at the mercy of RNG a little, but a lot less than if I was rolling 1d100.

(This also means, if we do it again, it's going to be much harder for the sophomores or seniors to finish all four levels but OAKES HAS BEEN TWEAKING THE GAME, you're all basically a free focus group for his new toy.)

ty, i like to hope so!

but you should see my dad's frigging spreadsheet powers. he's basically made an entire application out of one* and it's massive and has thousands (not exaggerating) of everything you could imagine a spreadsheet could have and like thousands of things YOU NEVER KNEW IT COULD HAVE. he showed me this spreadsheet something like 2 years ago and i will never forget. i have been in awe ever since.

* but it's not a spreadsheet for no reason, it's "for work," so maybe i can still have the "for no reason" title??

	I am excited for hockey!

	i'm definitely not getting back to hockey stuff until sunday, so totally go sign her up for whatever! there isn't an obvious one that needs rebalancing right now so i'll find a way to fit her in depending on what options you decide. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
