Looking for award ideas for ns2stats mod

Sint

<div class="IPBDescription">Kinda like achievements but based on other players in same round</div>Hi, so would like to get some award ideas for the mod. Currently we have awards with messages like:

- NSPlayer is deathbringer with total of 10 kills and assists!
- Most damage done by NSPlayer with total of 12300 damage!
- Bob the builder: NSPlayer!
- Demolition man: NSPlayer with 30293 structure damage.
- NSPlayer was spilling blood worth of 29192 damage.
- Weapon Specialist/Versed: NSPlayer. (Accuracy award basically)

So awards should be mostly based on other players in same round, who is best on something or who is worst on something. Awards can be funny too, so they don't have to be all serious. Later we are planning to make icons for awards and include them in <a href="http://ns2stats.org" target="_blank">http://ns2stats.org</a> player page and round pages. There are some technical difficulties for some awards ofc, but we'll see what we can do.

Most walljumps and/or simply most jumps for marines as well.
Fastest skulk (top speed or some sort of average while walljumping only).
Most welding and repairing power nodes, combined.
Most healing.
Defender; most kills/assists in the vicinity of your own RTs (defending other buildings doesn't really need to be further encouraged).
Others do my bidding; most kills by weapons bought and dropped by a player (maybe excluding the com, or maybe not. bit of a consolation prize for dying but someone else putting your gun to good use).
Purist; most kills with skulk bite/para or the rifle (or pistol/axe while carrying a rifle).
Longest life; list the longest living player (excluding the player with the longest time as com on both teams and AFKs, somehow. perhaps by requiring an action like taking or dealing damage or healing every minute for it to count) as well as the lifeform the player was when dying or the game ending ("Longest life: Strayan as Gorge/Exo/Marine (5m 30s)").

I'd remove the ones that are obvious from looking at the scoreboard

Have stuff like Biggest kill streak "Last Man Standing"
Most kills with least assists "Assassin"
A Marine specific award for killing the most alien upgrades without any assistance

Sint

Thanks for ideas so far. We'll prob add many of those. Dunno about removing the "obvious ones", awards are supposed to give some rating later on too, so there will be at least some kind of kill/assist based award(s).

Powermad: Died the most times while attacking a power node

You could do class/weapon-based kills, e.g.
Skulker Butcher = Most skulk kills
Gorge Slayer = Most gorge kills
Lerk Flayer = Most lerk kills
Fade Exterminator = Most fade kills
Onos Slaughterer = Most onos kills
Scrambled Eggs = Most egg kills

Captain Carver = Most axe kills
Handgun Specialist = Most pistol kills
Bullet Storm = Most assault rifle kills
Skeet Shooter = Most shotgun kills
Blow Em All Up = Most grenade launcher kills
Pyromaniac = Most flamethrower kills

In many games you're going to have like 5 players who all died once doing it and no one died more than that.

[edit] An idea: player who did the most damage without actually making kills. Pull the list of things the player killed, subtract the hit points of all those things, then subract that from the total damage the player did.

I'd also be kind of interested in any stats regarding the amount of damage done to certain things, rather than the amount of kills. So like, maybe "onos slaughterer" is some sort of metric between total damage done to onosees and total onosees killed.

They need to be funny names though... Love achievements like that actually make me chuckle.

Fade Fail: To die as a fade without a single kill (maybe make this die 10 times as a fade without a single kill)

Death From Above: 100 kills as a lerk.

Got Gas?: 50 kills with lerk spores.

etc.

Also... achievements for commanders:

Infectious: controlling 6 (or whatever) res nodes as a Khammander within 3 minutes (or some such formula).

Whip it Good: Kill 5 marines in a single game with whips.

Ten Turtle Skulks: Kill 10 skulks in a game with turrets.

etc.
