Popular Post TheWayne-o Posted November 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) G’day mate! Welcome to the Great Australian Trophy Hunt Season 2! Basically it's an opportunity for the Australian members of the PSNP community to come together and play/discuss video games (oh and there’s also some sort of competition here too). I’ve decided to overhaul the points system for this season so the competition will now be split into 2 divisions, the winner and runner up for each division will receive a custom trophy for their signature and more importantly, bragging rights! To view the first season of the competition, use the link below: https://psnprofiles.com/forums/topic/33139-the-great-australian-trophy-hunt-season-1/ The competition will begin at 12:00am 1st March 2017 and end at 11:59pm 30th November 2017. As mentioned above there will be 2 divisions, each consisting of 12 players. Participants will be allocated a division once the registrations are finalised and this will be based upon a few factors like your PSN level, number of platinum trophies, trophies earned per day, etc. Basically it’ll be split into the Vegemite Division (division 1 for people that play lots of games) and the Tim Tam Division (division 2 for people that may not get a chance to play as many games). To be eligible to enter you must: be Australian, have one player using your PSN ID (this will be tough to prove so as long as you don't have something like 500 games earning 7 trophies each day consistently then you should be okay) and be willing to participate in the thread (we don’t want people that are going to sign up and then never be heard from again). In an attempt to screen participants and weed these people out, you must have at least 50 posts in the forums to be considered for a spot in this competition. Scores will be updated a few days into each month, however the stats used to earn points will have a cut-off at the end of each month (i.e the first update will be in early April but only trophies earnt up to 11:59pm 31st March will be considered for scoring points). This allows people some time to update their profile ready for score updates. At the conclusion of the competition, the participant with the highest number of points in each division will be declared as champions. Scoring: There are 3 ways to earn points in this competition: points awarded at the end of each month for earning trophies, points awarded every 3 months for bonus categories & backlog challenge trophies. Below is a further explanation on how to earn points in each of these methods. Earning Trophies - each trophies that you earn throughout the month will have a value eqivalent to 1/10th of the points the trophy is worth on the PSNP leaderboard (i.e. bronze = 1.5 points, silver = 3 points, gold = 9 points & platinum = 18 points). At the end of the month, the total value of your trophies will be calculated and each participant will be ranked from 1st through 12th in each division. However only 1st through 10th will be awarded points (1st = 25 points, 2nd = 18 points, 3rd = 15 points, 4th = 12 points, 5th = 10 points, 6th = 8 points, 7th = 6 points, 8th = 4 points, 9th = 2 points & 10th = 1 point). Bonus Categories - game completion percentage & average rarity. At the end of every 3rd month (May, August & November) each participant’s game completion and average rarity on their PSNP profile will be compared to their previous value and everybody will be ranked from 1st through 12th in each division (largest increase for game completion percentage & largest decrease for average rarity). However, only 1st through 6th will be awarded points for each category (1st = 36 points, 2nd = 30 points, 3rd = 24 points, 4th = 18 points, 5th = 12 points & 6th = 6 points). Backlog Challenge - each participant can nominate 10 games from their backlog (because we all suffer from this dreaded curse) that they plan to play throughout the season and earn points for completing them. Once you have named your 10 choices you won't be able to change them so pick carefully, choices must be submitted by the commencement of the competition. To be eligible for this category games must: either not appear on your profile (having not been played yet) or have a completion of 10% or less if it already appears on your profile, the game must have been released prior to 31st December 2015 and the game must have a platinum trophy (it can be a retail or digital release). - Of the 10 backlog games 6 games must be for the PS3, 3 games must be for the PS4 & 1 must be for the Vita. If you don’t own a Vita, well then that’s your fault for not purchasing this excellent piece of hardware! In the event that you aren’t able to meet the above requirements for all games then you will only earn points for the games that do meet the requirements. - Points are awarded for obtaining the platinum trophy only, each participant will be awarded 15 points for an Ultra Rare, 12 points for a Very Rare, 9 points for a Rare, 6 points for an Uncommon and 3 points for a Common. Platinum rarity will be taken from the date that the next update occurs. So let me know if you'd be interested in participating in this competition and I’ll add you to the contest. Happy trophy hunting and best of luck to all contestants!

Thanks CJ! I was going to ban everyone that doesn't own a Vita but then we probably wouldn't have enough participants to run a competition . People should be ashamed of themselves if they don't own a Vita! Does this mean that I can count you in for next season? You are definitely one of those I was going to invite back . Count me in aswell. Im liking the updated scoring system. Also a chance to take on the king of bronze again Thanks Gibbo, good to have you back for season 2! You were definitely another of those that I was going to invite back . i'll join this time, never participated in season 1 and think this'll be fun, hopefully i can do good psn i.d = jarethgeason Thanks for the interest mate, I will add you to the list. Well only on the condition that you make a reality tv series out of the competition and award substantial prize money to the winners . I want to be in again! Dunno if I have 6 games for PS3 though lol Thanks Lightning, good to have you back for season 2! You were another one that I was going to invite back as well . For the backlog games, you can nominate games that you don't own yet but think you may purchase at some stage if you're struggling to make the 6 for PS3. Sign me up will just add a few games to my existing backlog..... seeing as I haven't touched this year's, lol Thanks damage, good to have you back for season 2! Also another one that I was going to invite back as well . I need to start posting on these forums more. Would have liked to participate but need to get my post count up! Enjoy all. Thanks for the interest mate! If you're serious about participating then there should be enough time to get your post count up as the competition doesn't start until March, although I'm not sure how quickly these spots will fill up. CJ's thread for Australian & New Zealand gamers could be a good starting point to introduce yourself and get some discussions happening: http://psnprofiles.com/forums/topic/29160-australia-nz-ps4-ps3-vita-gamers/ The Project Platinum threads might also interest you as a trophy hunter, you can also hurl some banter at the rest of us currently competing in season 1 as well if that's more your style (banter is strongly encouraged within this competition ).

Hopefully I can earn some more in season 2 though. Herre's a question for you. Can we nominate some of the same games from season 1 as backlog games if we didn't make any progress or finish them?

spazza136 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I'm ready for Season 2! Btw in the backlog section did you mean to write games before December 2015? or is that a copy/paste error? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMask75 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Giddyup! you know I'll be up for season 2, mate. I'll probably keep my backlog list similar and add a bunch more PS3 games. I have some ideas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWayne-o Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Yes most definitely ........ I was eagerly awaiting the message invite ..... and then thinking how I could back out quietly if I didn't get one. How could the competition exist without the King of Bronze (and everything last month)? You know I'm in. Might skip the backlog challenges. I dont even know if i have 6 games for my ps3 anymore Thanks AuzzieWingman, good to have you back for season 2! It must be nice not have have enough PS3 games to make a backlog list for them, I think the rest of us have too many to know which 6 we're going to list . Sign me up for round 2! I like the new points and backlog challenge systems this season. Wayne-O; what's the cut off for submitting the backlog challenge titles? Thanks Drew, good to have you back for season 2! Glad to know that a few people like the changes, the points system in season 1 didn't really work like I though it would when I created the competition. Cut-off isn't for a few months yet, competition starts in March so as long as I have them before then I'm happy. No worries man. Glad to be back. Hopefully I can earn some more in season 2 though. Herre's a question for you. Can we nominate some of the same games from season 1 as backlog games if we didn't make any progress or finish them? Yeah definitely, as long as the games still meet the criteria (i.e. less than 10% completion) then it's all good. I'm ready for Season 2! Btw in the backlog section did you mean to write games before December 2015? or is that a copy/paste error? Thanks spazza, good to have you back for season 2! 2015 is correct for the backlog challenge, last season it was 2014 so I added the extra year. Got to try and do my bit to help everyone clear out their backlog of older games . Giddyup! you know I'll be up for season 2, mate. I'll probably keep my backlog list similar and add a bunch more PS3 games. I have some ideas. Thanks IronMask, good to have you back for season 2! No problems, as long as they still meet the criteria then I'm happy for people to use some of the games from last season. On a side note, it looks like I won't have to send out many invitations after all as everyone that has signed up from last year we're all going to get an invite anyway . There are only 4 others that I'll need to contact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrestfallenAU Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'll be down for a second season. I'm liking the look of the changes to the point system too. Is there any reason for the 6/3/1 breakdown of the backlog? It doesn't matter much to me since I have more PS3 picked out than anything else, just curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWayne-o Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm keen! I was waiting for an invitation though... Thanks Matt, good to have you back for season 2! You were 1 of the 4 that I was going to send an invite to tonight . The others already said they were in before I even thought about doing the invites. I'll be down for a second season. I'm liking the look of the changes to the point system too. Is there any reason for the 6/3/1 breakdown of the backlog? It doesn't matter much to me since I have more PS3 picked out than anything else, just curious. Thanks Crest, good to have you back for season 2! You were another of the 4 that I was going to send an invite to tonight . Good to hear that you like the new points system too. Yeah my thought was that most of us in the competition would have a whole bunch of games in our backlog accumulated over the years, mostly on the PS3 given the length of the console's life cycle. Now that PS4 has been around a few years we're starting to accumulate PS4 games now too. Plus you also have to show the Vita some love! Now only 2 people left that I have to actually invite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuzzieWingman Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Hmm... I might be able to do the backlog challenge after all. I hope my PS3 hasn't shit itself just yet. I remember that I bought a whole bunch of games from Hawaii in 2013, and a few tales games sometime. Then there's some of the PS Plus titles like Yakuza 5 and P4AU. I should have Tearaway or Ass Creed Liberation in a cupboard somewhere for Vita. The question is: Old backlog games or new ones for PS4. Decisions, decisions...

AARCT1C Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks Matt, good to have you back for season 2! You were 1 of the 4 that I was going to send an invite to tonight All good! I like the change to the backlog system how we can now use games with 10% completion or less. I believe my 10 games will come directly from my active list, thus giving me the motivation to finish incomplete games instead of starting new ones and potentially not finishing them (AC Rogue).

Lightning_0608 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 All good! I like the change to the backlog system how we can now use games with 10% completion or less. I believe my 10 games will come directly from my active list, thus giving me the motivation to finish incomplete games instead of starting new ones and potentially not finishing them (AC Rogue). DUDE! Thanks for saying this, I totally need to do AC Rogue too. I have one trophy from it. I think I played the first mission and then it went untouched. Probs not a good idea to release to AC on two different gens that year. Oh well. There's 1 game for me too Oh Wayne, I've forgotten if we can select HD remasters of older games? If they were released this year? And this year I'll definitely pick Uncharted 3 HD cause I haven't gotten that far yet lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
