Were chocolate not a part of the equation, I would propose charging 10 buildr points per forum idea submitted. Thus, it would be much more difficult to flood. However, since chocolate is a part of the equation, I would admit I am somewhat befuddled. I’ve taken advantage of the flood of chocolate myself from time to time. Is chocolate powerful with a high buildr score? Yes. Is it strong enough to beat a coordinated effort from a large and reasonably well organized klan? No. I tied with plk last season because GGM had a good 7 players in my final bracket and we worked together to make sure we got what we wanted.
Does this alter the fact that Bashy and plk are simply flooding the forum entry pile with everything they can, throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks? No. The psychology that most players who submit to buildr are submitting under is that you have one good idea and submit it until it wins. Obviously this strategy is flawed and the better strategy is to get a score of 10-20 and just submit like crazy around 10-11 PM sunday night (maybe save a few for monday). Who cares if your idea is derivative or uninteresting? All that matters is winning. Right? |
