Hey all. Glad to update! Give me a little while to consolidate all the feedback, figure out what was most popular, maybe run some numbers and update.

edit: updated. I hope that caught everything.

i think the percentage based spoils allocation is fairer even if it doesnt match poker hands .

[fumandomuerte]

amazing suggestion! I support this all the way.

Laughing Boy, you have a lot of suuport here...we're all looking forward to the next step. You got time...after all it won't be approved right away anyways....GL!

So is there anything to do at this point, or just wait for word?

[Joodoo]

Hmmm, the method you introduce seems to be a good extension to the flat rate system, and the justification you gave for the possible number of troops rewarded when cashing in the different hands seems decent to me.
I would really like to see this implemented.

I want this to see more traffic, as this was liked, so i'm stickying this

I'm going to make a move here and submit this shortly. It's a great idea with lots of support, so why not? We just need to finalise the suggestion, especially the following issue.

Potential Cashing Methods

• True Poker: Rewards are arranged in the order of hands as per the rules of Poker. With these rules, it may or may not make sense to allow a Single. As such, a possible layout of set bonuses and T/S is (in ascending order of Poker hands):
  

  Code: Select all

  Set \ Spoils 1    2    3    4    5    AVE    Worth  T/S
Single     100% 100% 100% 100% 100%  100.0%     1   1.00
Pair         0%  33%  78% 100% 100%   62.2%     3   1.50
2 Pairs      0%   0%   0%  22%  62%   16.8%     7   1.75
3 o'Kind     0%   0%  12%  27%  63%   20.4%     8   2.67
Run          0%   0%  22%  44%  62%   25.6%     9   3.00
Flush        0%   0%   0%   0%   1%    0.2%    14   3.50
Full House   0%   0%   0%   0%  25%    5.0%    18   3.60
4 o'Kind     0%   0%   0%   4%  33%    7.4%    20   5.00

  
  There are some obvious flaws, including the spoils system not matching up to the card system of Poker and thus giving bonuses not proportional to the chance of that hand. i.e. In order to make a Full House worth more than a Flush, the T/S and total Bonus need to be higher, despite the Full House being ten times more likely to be obtained. A 4-of-a-Kind, the hardest Poker hand attainable with the spoils system, would be worth over 40% more troops despite being over 30 times more likely to be attained.
• Percentage-Based: Rewards are arranged in the order of likeliness of attaining them. As such, a possible layout of set bonuses and T/S is (in ascending order of rarity):
  

  Code: Select all

  Set \ Spoils 1    2    3    4    5    AVE    Worth  T/S
Single     100% 100% 100% 100% 100%  100.0%     1   1.00
Pair         0%  33%  78% 100% 100%   62.2%     3   1.50
Run          0%   0%  22%  44%  62%   25.6%     5   1.67
3 o'Kind     0%   0%  12%  27%  63%   20.4%     6   2.00
2 Pairs      0%   0%   0%  22%  62%   16.8%     9   2.25
4 o'Kind     0%   0%   0%   4%  33%    7.4%    11   2.75
Full House   0%   0%   0%   0%  25%    5.0%    16   3.20
Flush        0%   0%   0%   0%   1%    0.2%    20   4.00

I vote percentage based!


Cheers, JB

Agreed. Percentage, while not exactly Poker, is the best fit for Conquer Club. Poker is a theme and inspiration.

Thank you, again for the awesome support, everyone.

Hurray Poker spoils!

Defo percentage based.

I like this idea as it really makes you think about the right time to cash/wait.

[TheForgivenOne]

I'm putting up a poll to get peoples thoughts

[JoshyBoy]

I would give this a few more days, then submit this. I believe that the percentage based will work very nicely. Great suggestion, great work.

Cheers, JB
