Apparently, the idea of no points being awarding for beating deadbeats is going around.

I think it is great... what do you think? So many Noobs deadbeat, and many players are taking advantage

well...then what's the point of playing in a game with noobs?

I think you're a little confused. The suggestion on the "To-Do" list, is to not award points for new recruit DEADBEATS.

Oooops, that is what I meant. I didnt word it right. Anyway, I think it is a great idea.

What about a percentage thing instead? like if a noob and a lieutenant play and the lieutenant wins, he gets a point, whereas if the noob wins he gets tons...

do you know if that suggestion is:

that you don't get any points if the n00b deadbeats
or
that you don't get any points if the n00b who didn't take any turns whatsoever deadbeats.

hmmmm
deadbeats?
are they evil?
do they spread hate?

quick search of to-do list = http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4698

that is a very old thread and i did not see the answer to my question.

anyway lack said it is going on the to-do list back on Aug 10, 2006.

it could be a while yet.

Wow! I didn't feel like perusing the thread, so I didn't notice that.

So if I'm freemium and I set up 4 2 player sequential games, and the same noob joins every single one and deadbeats, I will have wasted up to 6 days for nothing?

Correct

imo it would drive new players away. it would be worse on 4, 6 or 8 player games.

someone wanders in off the street, joins the 1st 4 games on the list and then waits for his turn


and waits


and waits


and waits

eventually their turn comes around but they have given up waiting, never to return.

That Idea sucks. Firths example is exactly right.

The course of action to console us for the loss of time due to waiting is just to leave negative feedback when the new recruit deadbeats.

but as they never come back to read it, it is not much of a consolation.

I suggested this a long time ago before measures were taken to prevent n00bs from joining team games. Back then the skilled teams players would make public games with the only ones dumb enough to join were the new recruits and most of those ended up deadbeating and not coming back, thereby giving away points for zero effort on the winners part. I'd still like it to be put into place to prevent point inflation but its not a big deal.
