How Appeasement Points are Calculated

Appeasement Points are calculated by adding up all the points from each snackrifice (see below), multiplying by 1000, and then dividing by the total number of seconds spent in the entire match. Coin values are as follows: [img=https://cdn.forums.klei.com/GORGE/tournament/coin1.png] 1 point per coin. [img=https://cdn.forums.klei.com/GORGE/tournament/coin-2.png] 1 coin is worth 28 points, 2 coins is worth 84 points. [img=https://cdn.forums.klei.com/GORGE/tournament/coin3.png] 1 coin is worth 98 points, 2 coins is worth 294 points. [img=https://cdn.forums.klei.com/GORGE/tournament/coin4.png] 1 coin is worth 343 points. For example, when the craving is matched: Tomato Soup is worth 1×[img=https://cdn.forums.klei.com/GORGE/tournament/coin-2.png] + 8×[img=https://cdn.forums.klei.com/GORGE/tournament/coin1.png] = 28 + 8 = 36 points Candied Fish is worth 2×[img=https://cdn.forums.klei.com/GORGE/tournament/coin-2.png] + 4×[img=https://cdn.forums.klei.com/GORGE/tournament/coin1.png] = 84 + 4 = 88 points And say you escaped in 185 seconds using one Tomato Soup and one Candied Fish, then your match score would be: (36 + 88) × 1000 ÷ 185 = 670 Appeasement Points

FAQ

What are the restrictions? This tournament is Steam only, and only accounts that own Don't Starve Together can participate. Family Sharing "child" accounts will not qualify. Accounts must be in good standing. Where can I see my rank? The players qualifying for the gold, silver and bronze rewards are listed in the Tournament section of the leaderboards (https://forums.kleientertainment.com/gorge-recipe-book/). What if I belong to multiple high scoring teams? You will be rewarded based on the team with the highest score. If you qualify under multiple tiers, you will receive an award only for the highest qualifying tier. When does the tournament end? The tournament ends on July 17th at 11am Pacific time. Winners will be determined and prizes will be distributed shortly thereafter. What about merch? We wanted to give out merch as a prize, but the laws are scary, so we decided not to mess with that. If we get a lot of good feedback from this tournament, we'll look into how to go about physical prizes in the future. HOTFIX - 277561
