Time Travel: Accuracy Happy Hours

The race continues against time’s backwards path! Once we’ve determined where exactly the rip in the timespace continuum lies, we’re going to need the most precise attention for sewing it back up. Therefore, please feel free to test your accuracy during two Accuracy Happy Hours: 2:00 to 4:00 PM on 9/25 and/or from 10:00 PM to 11:59 PM on 9/25 (all times EDT).

If you participate in either of the available Accuracy Happy Hours (remember, you can do both, we’ll just count your best one), you will receive typical Happy Hour points. But depending on how your accuracy fares:

Swag!

5 mugs, each given to top 5 players

Badges

80% accuracy – You are a Budding Chronologist!
90% accuracy – You are a Master Chronologist!
95% accuracy – You are a Chronology Prodigy!

Badges will be given to all of those who make these achievements. 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 pure gameplay and avoid accuracy inflation caused by scything your own or others’ cubes.

Let’s go!
