Help with points system

#1 Post by FiftyFifty » Sat Feb 02, 2019 6:58 am

I'm 99% sure that I'm just misunderstanding the points system on this website. I am new to WebDip (I have played face to face diplomacy for many years).

Here are the net points results of all of my games:
Game 1: +2 (102)
Game 2: -1 (101)
Game 3: +13 (114)
Game 4: -18 (96). If anything, this should have left me at 100 by my understanding.
Game 5: -10 (86). Interestingly, the winner was banned for cheating in this game. I wasn't refunded anything, though.
Game 6: +0
Game 7: +70 (156)

And yet, I'm currently sitting here at 142 instead of the 156 I should be at, by my math.

Is there some sort of penalty for falling below 100? Is there something else I'm not accounting for, like a point penalty for missing an order? Or is this an actual bug? Thanks for your help.

edit: Also, no, I am not in any current games that would be lowering my available points.

Have you been paying any concurrent games, or only 1 game at a time?

Mostly concurrent games, with a few games played one at a time. Does this affect the totals?

You should still be at 100 after games 4/5/6. Checked your profile. Game 1 ended later and you got 2 from it. The net gain of game 7 is only 40 (70-30). So there you go! :)

Regarding Game5, two things:

1) The winner wasn't banned for cheating, but for "multi/meta/no reply". It means they were investigated for cheating, and either found guilty or failed to reply.. That doesn't mean they were cheating in that game specifically though.

2) Our policy is to not provide a refund after cheating. If you think you should be refunded anyway, email [email protected] and explain the situation.
