The Grimch: Accuracy Happy Hours

eyewire, citizen-science, grimch, holiday

The Grimch was off scheming to shut down the site
And it seemed to be working much to his delight!
But whatever he did with whatever his powers
He couldn’t stop either of two happy hours!

Session 1 – 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM on 12/14
Session 2 – 10:00 PM to midnight on 12/14

Swag (generously sponsored by @susi): Most accurate player completing at least 20 cubes wins 1 t-shirt and 1 sticker sheet! Second and third place each also win sticker sheets.

HQ will bestow typical Happy Hour bonuses for your work during each of those time frames, but there’s more than that to earn!

95% accuracy – Accuracy Grandmaster
90% accuracy – Accuracy Master
80% accuracy – Accuracy Challenger

Extra point bonuses will be added to your baseline Happy Hour earnings, as follows:

1st Place Accuracy – 10,000 point bonus
2nd Place Accuracy – 8,000 point bonus
3rd Place Accuracy – 6,000 point bonus
Anyone else with 95% – 5,000 point bonus
Anyone else with 90% – 3,000 point bonus
Anyone else with 80% – 2,000 point bonus
Under 80% but played at least 20 cubes – 1,000 point bonus

Please remember that these bonuses are non-cumulative; first place accuracy gets a flat 10,000 points, for example.

Mentors: You are still allowed to mentor people during these time windows. Please just use your best judgment as to whether someone is asking you for basic newbie help vs. trying to have you boost their accuracy on cube after cube.

Scythes: Please avoid scything during these time windows. Even though accuracy for this will be retroactively calculated, we would prefer to go with accuracy based on players’ raw tracing. By the time this challenge is scored, don’t worry, admins will have corrected consensus as needed.
