Seem like every week im out of the running for most scoops because some1 had a pistachio streak ready from weeks prior.Just wondering if anti-freeze scoops are nerfed, why not pistachio?

I haven't seen a bad idea that I didn't like.

Cuz you can’t get huge streaks every single dom week.

You can get 70 antis a week, that’s enough in my opinion.

I don’t think you’ve really gotten the hang of dom yet. Long pistachio streaks are key to winning. If you’re not getting them yet, then maybe you should rethink your strategy.

They’re key, but they’re not necessary.

I got my first 8 medals without ever getting a streak above 24.

Antifreeze scoops are capped to prevent people with large sums of money from having a huge advantage. Pistachio is open to everyone…everyone gets just 4 visits a day. There’s no reason for them to be capped. Log in to see images!

Well, the first 8 medals are easy if you know what you are doing. Winning medals in the top 3 brackets is pretty much impossible though if you aren’t at the high end of you streak, so that you only have a realistic chance to win every 3-4 weeks. That’s why I have suggested that pistachio should be nerfed.

I have an idea for a card that could fix that, call it streak buster. It busts a streak of a certain player in your bracket, (prob replaces bumhole as most powerful card, so make it rarest).

That’s far too random, with implications too far beyond the single Dom week. A Pistachio cap would be much better. Seriously, imagine streaking for the E-Peens, when suddenly, because you didn’t know that random jerks could kill your streak, you have to start all over again and waste weeks!

It would be a on the fence card. I’m sure ET could code separate things. One to log your streak for peens that would only restart if you pwn the same forum twice. And one to log your pistachio streak that would restart when the card is played, or when you pwn the same forum.

That is what I was thinking, but too lazy to type it.

That’s still far too random. Besides, a card shouldn’t affect any rounds except the one in which it is played, aside from affecting what brackets you enter in the indirect way they already do.

Or how about a card called flavor cap? It put a cap number on a target player’s flavor of your choosing. It penalizes 1 dimensional players who are only talented at 1 flavor, putting emphasis on overall ability.

edit: cap would only last for 1 or 2 days, 3 max.

That’s a really good point. Imo remove switcheroo and introduce a separate medal for each flava (so 5 fave flava medals each round)

naw, switcheroo is a good card. It still gives some leeway for players who r good at 3 flavor but not all five.

Flavor cap would be ridiculously overpowered and unbalancing, and individual medals for each flavor would put way too many medals into circulation. I think individual flavor medals would make Total and Min too unrewarding, but I’m not sure.

Seconded, I just won my first from 11 minimum.

Now I’m in a middle bracket and I’m 2nd place on fave flava with 48 vanilla scoops to the pistachio streaker’s 50. I also look set to soon beat him for minmax. My personal opinion is that people that try to win domination purely by pistachio fave flava ought to lose, and likely will, especially when you can get 70 antifreeze and 70 chocolates within a week. That’s 140 to add to the total right there from that alone.

yeah but imo if they’re not good at all five then they don’t deserve the min medal, if they’re really good at one flavour then they deserve the fave medal, etc

hmm I think that John Galt speech affected me somewhat

That’s the point of switcheroo though.

Besides, anyone dividing 3 scoops into 5 spots will have a lower min by default than someone who gets scoops in all 5.

I don’t get more than maybe 10 pistachs a week from my job point runs but I’ve medaled for the last 3 weeks now.
