Title: Tags for the Post Mortem section
Post by: Kornel Kisielewicz on December 11, 2006, 17:11

DaEezT and I decided that it would be good to introduce some tags to the Post Mortem section of the Forum, so that topics already tell us something about the game introduced. These could be like:

[N!|L8] This game is impossible!
[HMP|AoB|L18] Damn Arch Viles!

We need some "official" abbrevations for Challenge names and Difficulty levels. The former have the problem that there are similar (AoM, AoM) and the latter may be too long (ITYTD)... Any suggestions? Also, I presented adding just the Challenges (if applicable), difficulty and the death level. Maybe add other tags too?

Couldn't it be Easy for I'm too young to die, Medium for Hey, not too rough, Hard for Hurt me plenty and then just Ultra-violence and Nightmare?

That's the way it works on the ingame highscore list :)

Is anything wrong with it? It's short and easy to decipher ;)

It's okay, now find a solution to the challenges :D

Maybe short abbreviations omitting Angel of part. Like Mar for AoMarkmanship, Ber for Berserk, Dar, Imp, LTr (or sth like that), Has, Pur and finally Mas for Angel of Masochism :> (didn't get to it so far ;) )

So... [H|Ber|18] Damn Arch Viles!

I removed 'L' to make it even shorter. But what with character's level? Maybe something like clvl/dlvl, so:
[H|Ber|8/18] Damn Arch Viles!

What do you think?

Hmm, I'd rather go for :

[H|AoMr|100%|17] Vile's suck!

So, we'd have the following abbrs:

E - (Easy) I'm Too Young To Die
M - (Medium) Hey, Not Too Rough
H - (Hard) Hurt Me Plenty
U - Ultra-Violence
N! - Nightmare! (the "!" is nice for attention ;])

And Ao?'s :
AoB - Angel of Berserk
AoMr - Angel of Marksmanship
AoD - Angel of Darkness
AoI - Angel of Impatience
AoLT - Angel of Light Travel
AoH - Angel of Haste
AoP - Angel of Purity
AoMs - Angel of Masochism

And additional:

100% - Asskickin' Marine :)

Nice! And any official way of stating clvl/dlvl?

And by the way, I think some instructions on this should be stickied to the Post Mortem section :)

I think we don't need AoMr and AoMa. It'll be easy to tell with just AoM for both.

Marksman tags:

[H|AoM|19]
[M|AoM|25]
[N!|AoM|14]

Masochism tags:

[M|AoM|4]
[U|AoM|2]
[N!|AoM|1]
