    As part of the up coming 20:20 tournament, I will be running the BarStar simulator.

    This basically simulates you as running a bar. The setup is that there is a pub with two bars in it and you compete against the other barman in a fight to be the best barman.

    You score points for various things, including pints poured, cocktails shaken, cleanliness of the bar etc. You incur penalties if your patrons put shit songs on the jukebox, you serve underage people, people get sick because you haven't kept the bar clean.

    I have upgraded the simulator for a few extra items, but as there is some time before the start of the 20:20 (and thus the BarStar tournament) I was wondering if anyone else had some ideas for point scoring/penalty incurring items that could happen on a barman's job.

    The line items in the previous incarnation were:

    I see feedback, but no new ideas. What else happens in a bar environment that isn't included above. I have added some new things already (to be revealed later) but there must be some other ideas out there.

    Maybe some fights, but that might already be included under hooligans thrown out.

    Hmmm. I could add a sub-category of Punter Punch-Up Mediation - how well can you defuse a potential fight between punters.

    Need to include darts somehow....as that is a mainstay of pubs over here in the UK.

    Perhaps darts matches played or something like that????

    I did think of darts, but couldn't think of a way the barman could influence it.

    Anyway, I have had a play with the sim and I've made a few changes that may make things a bit more interesting.

    In the previous version, it was a case of bar man vs. bar man. I'm thinking that this time, each bar could be run by a team of four, and the team captain can choose some tactics (i.e. on what area of the bar service he'd like each player to focus)

    I'm also thinking that each 20:20 team can have a team in the Bar tournament; so the team owner for each 20:20 franchise would choose which 4 of his team he wants to compete in BarStar.

    Hopefully this change would mean that more people can get involved, as I'm not going to have any more than 16 teams/players.

    I like that idea, if it's part of the team's work then it's bound to get more attention.

    You should ask if he has MSN so you can discuss it with him in more detail.
