[irc race bot] Cosmosis improvements

#1
Post if you get a stupid goal when you type .cosmosis that shouldn't come up

I suggest adding:

"Make the Gold Skulltula symbol appear in the Lake Hylia region on the map by collecting all the Gold Skulltula coins in that area"
(you could make one of these goals for each area).

Team gold skultulla race. Teams search for gold skultulla's, then add the totals after 1 hour. NO DUPING

Yo.

Was thinking of a new idea for some goals. Basically, everything in the game is assigned points. We have to agree on this beforehand and have an image ready or a post in a thread to link to if this goal comes up. Then the cosmosis picks a random number between A and B and says, "Get EXACTLY X points". You must then collect whatever items you want to have EXACTLY that many points, no going over.

Feel free to debate RBA/No RBA. I could see it going 50/50 or whatever because it would definitely be fun to try and have to delete things to LOSE points, or think you've got the points all lined up but then RBA deleted something you didn't think of. But then we have to deal with things like glitched items in the equipment screen and shit. So idk whatever discuss it.

Just off the top of my head with some points:

Medallions and Stones = 3 points
Every Song = 1 point
Bomb Bag (20) = 1 point
Bomb Bag (30) = 2 points
Bomb Bag (40) = 3 points
Quivers = same as bomb bag
Scale (either) = 1 point
Goron Bracelet = 2 point
Silver Gaunts = 2 points
Gold Gaunts = 3 points
Every 5 GS = 1 point
Biggoron Sword = 4 points
Goron/Zora Tunic = 1 point
Hover boots = 1 point
Iron boots = 2 points
Fire/Ice/Light arrows = 2 points
Mask of Truth = 3 points
Bottles = 1 point each, a bonus 5 points for all 4 bottles
Slingshot = 1 point
Boomerang = 1 point
Hammer = 2 point
Longshot = 2 point
Fairy bow = 2 points
Mirror shield = 2 point
Din's/Farorye/Nayru = 2 points
Double magic = 2 points
Double defense = 2 points
Ocarina of Time = 3 points
Gerudo Card = 2 points
Stone of Agony = 2 points
Large Wallet (must have enough rupees to prove it) = 2 points
Giant's Wallet (same) = 3 points

Point Range? 20-100?

Totally debate whatever, I just thought these up real quick. Obviously stuff like 4 bottles not worth as much in RBA race since that's easy to get.

EDIT: AND THE IDEA OF THIS is to make it UNCLEAR what items to ALWAYS get. The points should be worth their weight in time/difficulty, so to speak.

Bumping this; we need a discussion on this.

Right now if you do .pointsrace (and I'm online) it spits 4 things:

-Points (right now between 20-40)
-EXACTLY or AT LEAST (if you need exactly that many points or any amount over)
-RBA is or isn't allowed.
-A numbers chart for points (4 currently, two come up for RBA, two come up for nonRBA)
http://www.zeldaspeedruns.com/junk/PointsRace2.jpg

Obviously just change the 2 to a 1, 3, or 4.

Some things need to be discussed first:
-The values of points
-The randomized point range
-How many charts we should have (some should have different values to give strength to different things)

Issues already:
-Light medalon can't be worth as much as the other stones/medallions in a short points race (like the 15 points we did today).
-Unless the goal is 30+ points, no one will ever go adult really; we should have point charts to shift this to be true.
-I was thinking of making one with Fairy Ocarina -2, are ther other ones we can do to bring in some older tricks like cosmo escape?

If cosmo wants to take over this and add it to cosmosis that's fine with me, I just started it to get moving on it since no one replied here.

Bumped; im using this for fun run ideas and want more diversity

But an interesting run for this would be getting the master sword by beating the child dungeons, but with no sword lol, I looked at it and its possible to do each and every dungeon without a sword in your inventory making this a really fun challenge but tough.
