Scarescraper Score Tournament Discussion

Iowa, USA

Time and again I have considered setting up a score based tournament of the mode because I don't think scarescraper ever gets enough love and there's quite a lot you can actually do to make it quite fun, this being one of them.

Basically you would have three objectives

(For the sake of variety Surprise mode would be used and all games would be Solo mode only, likely keeping it within 10 floors, you would have an X amount of time to submit your scoring and after which time you are no longer allowed to keep trying to get a better score).

Collect the most weight Collect the most gold In case of a tie, IGT would then be used.

You would want to collect as much as possible of the two objectives, if your opponent managed to collect more gold than weight compared to you then it would end up being rounded with weight. I realize this isn't quite clear but it is just an idea I have played with in my head for a couple of years.

My question is that is there interest from the community to want to participate if the goals/rules are ironed out?

I like this idea. I think that it could be a lot of fun to approach scarescraper from a competitive aspect rather than a cooperative one. As for the details of scoring the run, I think that how it is scored will really change how the runners approach the scarescraper. With making ghost weight the most important, it will mean that searching certain furniture in polterpup mode will be a good strategy, as it spawns more ghosts. And also clearing the floor in rush will be a good strategy. I think that with the correct way to score it, it could be fun. Perhaps we could even make some sort of competitive idea for non-solo scarescrapers

That would be a great idea.
