The Hitroute Game
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 5:16 pm
Ok, there are many games out there and this is a new one. However, in contrast to most games this will have a minimum connection to the EBT site and its functions. To be honest I have been inspirde by the traceroot command which will show you how traffic 'travels'...
In contrast this game is about finding a route from a given city profile A to another given city profile B. Find a way to 'connect' both cities by hits that are stored within the system and include at least one of your own hits. As this might be somehow unfair for users living near city profile B you are also allowed to find a way in the opposite direction (from B to A), however you also need to include one of your own hits as well. To raise the difficulty level furthermore you need to pay attention on the direction of the hits - you are only allowed to follow the points where a note had been entered in chronological order.
Hence a Hit from Washington D.C. to Moscow might not be followed in reverse direction from Russia to the US.
If you finally found a way connecting A and B add up the number of days from all hits you used. Then add up the number of points where your notes have been entered*. Similary add up the distance and finally post your results in this topic (including the hits themselves as we might see all those beautiful hits you found...).
*If you follow an n-tupel hit count one 'hop' for each track you follow them - thus following this hit http://en.eurobilltracker.eu/notes/?id=86683582" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; from Spain to Pori makes up two 'hops'
Old rules:
Ok, now let's come to the goal of the game: Try to find a way requiring a minimum number of days. If there are two or more users finding a route with the same amount of days required the less number of hops (hits) will decide whome is placed higher, if still equal the longer distance will determine the winner.
New rules:
Ok, now let's come to the goal of the game: Try to find a way having the highest speed (number of km divided by number of days). If there are two or more users finding a route with the same speed the less number of hops (hits) will decide whome is placed higher, if still equal the longer distance will determine the winner.
The user having found the best route after one week = 7 days = 168 hours =... will have the right to set the next city profiles to find a route between.
Ok, let's get out of theory - to start let's find a way between
Helsinki
and
Lisboa
OK now I wanna see your routes
Eh yes, and here's my solution (should be beatable btw):
#1
Helsinki -> Vantaa 32days 16km

#2
Vantaa -> Hannover 
625days 1288km

#3
Hannover -> Bergen op Zoom 
395days 385km

#4
Bergen op Zoom -> Amadora 354days 1765km

#5
Amadora -> Lisboa 8days 7km
