Option for players to set, stake or bet points [REJECTED]

[chapcrap]

No points and set points have both been suggested before and been rejected. I don't see that this will be any different.

The problem with this suggestion is that it doesn't respect the philosophy behind the current score system. Currently, scores are still somewhat indicative of ability, in the sense that if two players only play a certain type of game against each other, their points will reach a natural balance which reflects their ability. The same is true on a larger scale. The fact that most players vary the type of games they play makes the scoreboard less reliable, and abuse does take place, but the principle is still there. The fact that a players score won't grow higher at a certain point is part of that.

By giving players the option to play for a set amount of points, this natural balancing factor will disappear. You give up whatever indication of strength is there to change the system into a flat out race. Definately not a fan.

Several topics MERGED. Introduction written in OP. I have STICKIED this for now, but it's getting a little crowded at the top of this thread, and this suggestion isn't as common as some of the others, so I may take it down later.

normally the points are divided by the system loser/ winner x 20, but can it be made possible that members decide how many points are won...or lost at a single game.

for example a private game which you can join where each player can lose 150 points. except the winner ofcourse.

A variety of options to "gamble" point or similar have been suggested in the past. They can be found here. When making suggestions please try to look and see if that suggestion has been had by someone else already. (It often has.) Further discussion of this idea should take place in that thread.
This particular suggestion is currently filed under rejected. That said, the new regime may reconsider the idea someday.

The second one here really has nothing to do with this ... it's about creating a CC points casino. It should still be in rejected, but it's not about staking points on the outcome of a game. Careful with the merging ...
