I was thinking of not awarding medals to those who were in tiny groups, but it seems unfair if they actually earned scoops you know?

The group making mechanism chooses the group sizes based on participation in the previous week, but obviously it missed the mark slightly. I’m going to try making the groups a lot bigger this week to see if it helps minimize that.

I’m not sure if it is or is not already constructed this way, but if not, I think you should probably make it so two characters from the same account can never be put into the same team in Domination.

Not working that way. Team Orange Jackal has both me and my alt.

Which means I could really throw the points to one of my characters by transforming all the other alt’s into cards and using them against people other than me. And on the downside, I can’t get more than 4 points between them, rather than the eight I could potentially get if they were on different teams.

I’ve also been thinking that maybe the teams should be split by clbum: One for all trolls, one for all emos, etc. I doubt that many (if any) people have more than one alt in the same clbum and that could solve a lot of balance issues, I’d think.

EDIT: Duddly Donkers is also in this group. Guess that brings my max potential down to between 0 and 2… Log in to see images! MC Banhammer edited this message on 02/01/2008 11:50AM

If you play this card, you will destroy 10 random scoops from the player with the most scoops on your scoreboard.

That **** is waaaaay overpowered. Especially if a few people have it. There’s a guy on my team with 5 cards and I have a feeling I’m going to get ****ed somewhere between now and Wednesday.

Three ideas:

1) No one can enter a week mid-week. They have to be site members at the start of a round to be in the round. This may help with the groups of not-very-actives which start showing up in the middle of the week.

Next: It’s a huge advantage to be able to play right before the game’s supposed to end. So:

2) Create groups based on users’ time zones, so everyone competing against each other is active at roughly the same time, and/or…

3) Switch around the time, and possibly even the day, from round to round, to shake the advantage up. I can tell you, for example, that moving the time back 2 hours would give me a huge advantage, while pushing it forward 2 would put me at a large disadvantage.
