Split Team Score and Solo Score *rejected*

Post by CreepyUncleAndy »

There's been some talk on this forum about how "the point system is jacked". Here's another angle on it: have you ever noticed how pretty much every general only plays team games? It's too easy to win in a team game, as only half (or two-thirds) of the players have to be eliminated -- while in dog-eat-dog games, you must be the sole survivor to win points.

Solution(s): either we make "coming in second place" (being the last player eliminated) somehow hurt less (like halve the point-loss), or, I propose implementing the following idea:

Split the score! From now on, players have two scores:
Solo Score -- points are only gained and lost in Standard, Terminator & Assassin games.
Team Score -- points are only gained and lost in Doubles & Triples games.

What to do about current player scores? Heck, just "clone" them; let every existing player's CURRENT SCORE = Team Score = Solo Score, and we'll go from there....and if you're already a "Solo-General", don't play any more Solo-games to mess up your rating. :wink:

Then people will want a scoring system for every type of game AND people would still want to view an overall score so you'ld need 2 score transfers each game
1 for overall
1 for assasin/terminator etc.

Thanks for bearing with me. :) Yeah, I'm gonna back off a little bit on posting "new" suggestions.
