Abstract: A game period is common among a plurality of users and includes a first period and a second period. An example information processing system advances a first game for each user in the first period. A rank of each user is determined based on a first individual parameter of the user for the first game from a past game period. A second individual parameter is determined for each user based on the rank of the user and the first individual parameter of the user for the first game from a current game period. In the second period, the information processing system determines a common parameter that is common among the plurality of users based on the second individual parameters for users who have performed a particular game input so as to advance a second game that is common among the plurality of users based on the common parameter.

Abstract: A game apparatus that functions as a non-limiting example information processing apparatus includes a CPU. If execution of an auto-play game is instructed, the CPU makes, from a start to an end of the auto-play game, cause a plurality of player characters, i.e., available characters used by a player and a plurality of enemy characters to play battles with each other at predetermined time intervals. For example, in halfway until the auto-play game is cleared or rendered as a game over, the player sets the available characters or sets arrangement of the available characters by referring to results of battles at every predetermined time intervals, thereby to start the auto-play game again. That is, the available character to be played against the enemy character is re-set.

Abstract: An example information processing system executes a process using values of scores of a plurality of users that are updated based on a result of a game. When a first game is selected from games, the first game is executed, in which the result of the game is determined based on a first user's game operation in the first game, and an opponent based on data of a second user different from the first user. When a second game is selected from games, the second game is executed, in which the result of the game is determined independently of the first user's game operation performed in the second game. The information processing system updates the first user's score and the second user's score based on a result of the first game, and updates at least the first user's score based on a result of the second game.

Abstract: Information about a plurality of participation rewards to be given upon participation in a game event during each unit period in a period in which the event is held, is presented to a user. An upper limit number of unit periods for giving, and the reward contents, are set in advance. In accordance with event participation, participation rewards corresponding to the unit periods in which the participation timings are included are given to the user. The event advancement status is updated on the basis of the event participation by each user. If an ending condition is satisfied, event advancement is ended. If the number of times the unit period has come until the end of the event since the start thereof is smaller than the upper limit number of unit periods in which the rewards can be given, at least one of non-given participation rewards is given to the user.
