Daily Challenge for Non-Cheaters - November 16, 2024

Link to the Daily Challenge

This is a place for Reddit users to submit their scores for the official Daily Challenge (hopefully) without the results being tarnished by cheaters. This should be played as a [2] -- zooming/rotating, moving allowed but external assistance is prohibited. Feel free to leave any walkthroughs in your comments, concealed with a >!spoiler tag.!<

A bot will keep a leaderboard for the month. You'll notice two columns related to your scoring performance. The first of these columns is labeled Average and represents your average score among all games throughout the month. The second column is labeled Score and represents either: 1. The average of your top 15 performances, or 2. Your average score divided by 15 (if you have played less than 15 games). The leaderboard is sorted by Score. At the end of the month, the highest Score will be declared the winner, and the leaderboard will reset for the next month.

Why do we keep score this way? There were 3 potential options for scorekeeping:

  1. Straight Average -- flawed because a player who only plays once but scores 25000 would likely win for the month.
  2. Cumulative Total -- flawed because it unfairly favors those who are able to play every and is a severe disadvantage to those who miss even a single day.
  3. Score of top 15 -- the method currently in use, it allows for some leeway for those not able to play daily, but at the same time, it's beneficial to those who are able to play more than 15 times. After 15 plays, each new score will bump out the previous lowest score.

The Daily Challenge resets at midnight UTC, which coincides with the time that this post will go live each day. So essentially, make sure that you're commenting your score with its corresponding post.

[2][3][4] Stochastic Sunday #43 - 2024-11-10

Back to my usual lateness! I woke up this morning and it took a little while before it hit me that, "Oh right, it's Monday!"

I feel lucky with the two Japan rounds on Equitable Stochastic - usually even with moving, I can't find the town, but I got both - and both within the last few seconds of the round.

On ASP-Mexico R2, for some reason I saw Nuevo Leon and started scanning (and guessed in) San Luis Potosi. That was my worst showing on an otherwise very get-able seed, if you know the names of Mexico's states. I was very pleased that there were no 'capital guesser' moments on that seed, as well! My main goal of Equitable Stochastic was to to prevent Primate cities from dominating the game, and while it is an improvement, it really hasn't

This week has some overlap between the national and regional maps, as ASP-Iron Curtain contains the former East Germany.

Introduction

The Stochastic maps are large randomly-generated maps that use population data to place locations where people live. Generally, locations will be in populated areas, though rural areas with even a few structures nearby appear as well. I made these maps because most maps tend to focus on rural locations and meta-learnable locations, but I generally find urban areas more interesting to roam around. And while World is much more urban than it used to be, its distribution is perplexingly strange. I hope other people find them interesting as well.

I welcome any feedback about maps to include, mode + time settings, standings, summary statistics of interest and how they're displayed - whatever. Particularly, with the rotating country maps, please feel welcome to suggest any country you would like to see added to the list.

Challenges

MapModeChallenge Link
A Stochastic Populated WorldNo Move / Pan / Zoom 1:30Challenge Link
An Equitable Stochastic Populated WorldMoving 4 MinutesChallenge Link
A Skewed Stochastic Populated WorldNo Move / Pan / Zoom 45 SecondsChallenge Link
A Stochastic Populated GermanyNo Move 3 MinutesChallenge Link
A Stochastic Populated Iron CurtainMoving 3 MinutesChallenge Link

Each week has 5 challenge links, with three standard maps (Stochastic Populated World, Equitable Stochastic Populated World, and Skewed Stochastic Populated World), and two other Stochastic maps chosen from rotating lists: One world or large-region map, and one country-specific map. The type of challenge (moving, no move, or no-move/pan/zoom) and duration are selected at random.

Standings

The top 5 players on each challenge link (myself excluded) are awarded series points: 5 points to 1st place, through 1 point for 5th place, with ties broken by the time taken. Ties in the all-time standings are broken by the sum of scores from all games played. (I might not stick with this standing scheme.)

Map descriptions

A Stochastic Populated World: This map uses unadjusted population data, to give every person on earth an equal chance of appearing in the game, if there is Streetview coverage where they live.

An Equitable Stochastic Populated World: This map uses an adjusted population designed to increase the variety of locations that appear, while still favoring more populous countries and more populated areas.

A Skewed Stochastic Populated World: A stochastic homage to the famous A Skewed World, this map turns the camera to the side of the road, hiding the more widely known street-based clues.

A Stochastic Populated Germany: A map of Germany, why not?

A Stochastic Populated Iron Curtain: A map of European countries that were at some time behind the Iron Curtain, including Yugoslavia and East Germany (but not Russia).

Daily Challenge for Non-Cheaters - November 11, 2024

Link to the Daily Challenge

This is a place for Reddit users to submit their scores for the official Daily Challenge (hopefully) without the results being tarnished by cheaters. This should be played as a [2] -- zooming/rotating, moving allowed but external assistance is prohibited. Feel free to leave any walkthroughs in your comments, concealed with a >!spoiler tag.!<

A bot will keep a leaderboard for the month. You'll notice two columns related to your scoring performance. The first of these columns is labeled Average and represents your average score among all games throughout the month. The second column is labeled Score and represents either: 1. The average of your top 15 performances, or 2. Your average score divided by 15 (if you have played less than 15 games). The leaderboard is sorted by Score. At the end of the month, the highest Score will be declared the winner, and the leaderboard will reset for the next month.

Why do we keep score this way? There were 3 potential options for scorekeeping:

  1. Straight Average -- flawed because a player who only plays once but scores 25000 would likely win for the month.
  2. Cumulative Total -- flawed because it unfairly favors those who are able to play every and is a severe disadvantage to those who miss even a single day.
  3. Score of top 15 -- the method currently in use, it allows for some leeway for those not able to play daily, but at the same time, it's beneficial to those who are able to play more than 15 times. After 15 plays, each new score will bump out the previous lowest score.

The Daily Challenge resets at midnight UTC, which coincides with the time that this post will go live each day. So essentially, make sure that you're commenting your score with its corresponding post.
