The only issues I can think about this is that once you divided people up into four groups, is that you’d probably want to make this another choice option. If you don’t make this available for choice, you run the risk of screwing people out of being able to be there at the end of their bracket, since it may occur at 3AM their time.
However, if you make it a choice option, you also run the risk of Klans being able to engineer their way to taking over brackets (should they want to) or, conversely, being able to increase their chances of staying spread out so everyone can take their own bracket.
Also, if this was a choice option, would it too change every week? Or would it be a one-time deal sort of thing?
Sorry about overthinking this… game design/test is kinda my thing, and I tend to overthink the repercussions from every possible decision.
Edit: The only real issue with bumigning brackets to the people based off of their refresh time is, as refresh time doesn’t change, you’d stagnate your pool of players pretty quickly, and would have a harder time getting new blood.
Edit the second: The easiest thing to do would probably just have the random times fall between 10PM EST and the following 9-12 hours or so. That way, you can completely avert all potential Domination foulups. crovax1234 edited this message on 03/10/2008 8:56PM |
