WTN - that would be interesting, only the surviving losers getting points. That would sort out those who crave good stats for win % from those who crave the points.
Interesting idea... The points become a consolation prize. Of course, we'd have to make wins worth something or the guy who wins all the time wouldn't be able to get into any games.
It rounds EACH SC to a whole number and then figures out the points?
WOW. Talk about not being a zero-sum game. I knew that if the winner took more than 18 SCs points disappeared, but that seems a little off. I assumed that the points would have been distributed as INT((84*x)/34) where x was the number of SCs you controlled at the end of the game, to a maximum of 18. That's a VERY different number than ROUND(84/34)*max(18,x).
Also, ROUND(84/34)*max(18,x) can result in point inflation! In a 85 point game, each SC would be worth 3 points! If there were 2 survivors with 8 SCs apiece, the distribution would be 54/24/24 for a total of 102 points!
Hrmm. So a game that costs 13 points to enter is far superior to a game that costs 12 points to enter. Good to know. I suppose this is much less of a factor for higher point games, but for low point games it can make a big difference.
@jbalcorn slight correction: if one gets more than 18 scs the 16/34 of the pot which are left are divided among the other players without loss of points (apart from rounding errors of course) and isn't 5 points the minimum amount of point every player has to pay to join a game?
5 points is the minimum. And of course this only applies to PPSC games since in WTA either the winner gets all the points or the pot is split up evenly in the case of a draw.
If it calculates the winner's points and removes them from the total and then recalculates (in case winner had more than 18 SCs) then it would seem that a 16 SC survivor would get the remaining 48 points. If that's the way it works. Talk about a kick in the pants.
Nah, I think it just calculates the value of each SC first, rounds it down, and then multiplies each player's SC times that to see how much each player will take.
Email me if interested. Game will have at least 101 point buy-in and at least 25 hour phases, and WTA vs. PPSC has not yet been decided. Game will be passworded; I will send you the password in my reply. Also send your preferences (time, pot, WTA/PPSC).
what happened?? i logged on and got kicked from all of my games??? not only this game, but all of my online games, wonder if anyone knows if I got a virus?
I know this is a competing site, but I know a lot of people play on both sites. Is anyone else having trouble getting on to the worldleadersthegame site? It just tells me the site doesn't exist. I suppose it has something to do with the server update. Just curious.
