Woohoo! What luck!

I'm still 100 points behind SSLS6 though. He has a MASSIVE lead. Although, I don't think the 100 points I was supposed to get from the achievement went through...

Wow...super cool! Great job!!

I'll double check the points to try and make sure. Honestly, that's one of those perks that was there from the beginning and since it's been unobtainium since then I'm not 100% sure it would have registered...only 99% sure.

However, it did give you the license plate so it did trigger...eitherway, I'll try to double check.

I checked the points and I didn't get it. I should be at 1835 at the moment.

I have 1660 from the tournaments + 20 from Zero Miles + 25 from seasoned driver and + 30 from final four = 1735 which is what I have at the moment.

Yup, you're right...sorry about that. I'm PMing you a reward code that you'll need to redeem to get your 100 points.

This now impacts the RTL playoffs, I think.

If WorpeX should have received an extra 100 points--that's ten points for the Plymouth Valiants in their Tournament Thirteen match, I believe. Wouldn't have impacted who won or lost or the rankings going into the playoffs...I can go ahead and edit those numbers in now to make the history and statistics of the league accurate.

However, if the solution was to give him a reward code worth 100 points--points that, I believe, will count towards his NEXT match...that would be giving the Valiants a 10 point headstart in their first round playoffs match, yes?

Is that fair? If not, is it fair to subtract those 100 points from WorpeX's total for that match (and adding them back to the match that's already over and has been decided)? (Especially because there's been no way for me to track whether this has happened before--where scoring adjustments have been added for matches other than the matches that they should have been scored for--as I just go by the listings for each tournament.)

I'm asking this question openly in this forum for transparency's sake.

No no, it was 100 points for getting the achievement. It just didn't give me the points automatically is all, so we fixed it by doing a code thing. I don't think achievements should effect the RTL. Keep it the way it is.

Thanks everyone! And @SSL: We're still neck and neck, its still anyone's game!

Ah crap...teams...yet one more reason I hate when shit breaks that shouldn't, it now effects lots of things!

Actually, Seattle is right in that the 100 points that Worpex should have received would go towards his team score. Technically speaking, Worepx's score for that tournament should have been 350 points, not the 250 it shows.

Right now the league doesn't see any difference between bracket points and achievement points, they're all rolled up into one. So if you unlock an achievement by way of bracket results (like a perfect pick or final four), those points are figured into your tournament score.


How or if this changes the team points and playoffs, I'll let that decision up to Peter and Worpex.


...and thus, this is why the league is getting a rebuild and tools for teams Sorry again for the trouble and confusion.

Brian, where will WorpeX's 100 points show up? Will they be added to his next tournament score?

I think, since this is a Blind Trial Season, we'll just follow the numbers that the RDR fantasy league generates...so, if they're added to his next tournament score, then WorpeX and the Valiants will get the benefit of that in the first playoff match.

If those points are being added to the score that WorpeX had when he earned those points, then I'll go in and edit the scores for that match...and it won't directly impact the playoff match.
