Re: SimNaNoWriMo 2017 Hints, Tips, and Questions
On Tumblr there should be a general link to your post - or you don't have to do by update number, you can go by screenshot count OR by word count if that's easier! I'm excited to see all the great stories that'll come out from this year's SimNaNo!

How are you checking word/picture count of posts, and are we posting the counts when we post the update? Are you just trusting that what we give you is truth?

I believe last year we just trusted that everyone was being truthful with their picture/word count. Including your counts when you post your updates would be ideal!DSLady wrote:How are you checking word/picture count of posts, and are we posting the counts when we post the update?

@DSLady
Theoretically YEAH, you could lie, but if someone called you out on it, it wouldn't be hard for us to run through a word count check ourselves or picture count. So ultimately it's like no, it won't all be double checked, but it's not impossible to so it's more of an honor system.

Re: SimNaNoWriMo 2017 Hints, Tips, and Questions
Heyo. So I have a question and it might be a little dumb. I understand the rules but I need clarification.
So, my initial plan was to go for the 10 updates as I did last year. However, entering into the last week and assessing my time, I won't be able to hit that. However, I could easily hit 200 images with 2 or 3 updates over the next few days. The question is, when the end of the month comes, will our highest total be used for our medal/ranking?
Also, I'm sorry if this question is kinda dumb.

If you can reach the Gold level requirements with two or three updates then it will count for Gold. That is one reason why the new rules were added this year.

It'll end up being like 5-6 updates in total, but I'm glad to hear that. They upped my hours at work and I've been sick almost the entire month so I've had a bit of trouble getting ten updates, but I always have 30-40 pictures per update, if not more.

Re: SimNaNoWriMo 2017 Hints, Tips, and Questions
I can see on the update thread that a number of participants who posted over 200 pics were only awarded silver (including myself) - why is that? I thought the rules this year were words or images or updates? If any of the 3 were satisfied, shouldn't the gold medal be awarded?

I thought the same thing, I got bronze but totalled 218 pictures over four or five updates.somebodysangel wrote:I can see on the update thread that a number of participants who posted over 200 pics were only awarded silver (including myself) - why is that?

Re: SimNaNoWriMo 2017 Hints, Tips, and Questions
I also wanted to ask in terms of point scoring for Boolprop houses - If you were award a silver medal are the points earned the medal value + 30 for winning a medal? I.E Bronze: 25 + 30 | Silver: 50 + 30 | Gold: 75 + 30?

I didn't think to add the level points for this...but to be fair, it's the same values as last year. It's the best solution I can think of.

The points for the levels are 25+30 for Bronze, 50+30 for Silver, and 75+30 for Gold. And everyone should have their right level medals now.
