Do u want to alter the point system to bring justice to those who worked so hard but only got second or even third place for that matter?
For example,in a 5 player game,the first place would get 20 points from second place,30 points from third place,40 points from fourth place and 50 points for fith place.the good thing is,the second place may lose points from the first place but he can get 20 points from third place,30 points from fourth place and so on.Remember,third and fourth place can do it too.Just that they will still has more loss than gain but at least not so much
P.S.This is a new idea so it should only benefit to those playing standard,I think.Who knows it might benefit another style of playing.Who knows
P.P.S.If interested, try to change it according to wat u think is right.For example,bonus for not so good players or something like that. Thanks O:)

Protip: be here longer than two weeks before suggesting a wholesale change (an oft-shot-down one, even) to the scoring system.

That new style of playing will definitely encourage suiciding into other players.

If I was set to be eliminated, my best option would be to go all-out and suicide into another player. Thus weakening the player I attacked, causing him to be eliminated before me.
That would save me quite a few points, because I would finish in one higher spot.

bad idea. Suiciding sucks...

wcaclimbing, I said who knows,which means it "might benefit" not "it will benefit"

This is called terminator, which is pretty much the exact same thing, but better. You get points for how many you kill rather than coming in first or second.

So, what you're essentially saying is this:

Winner gets 350 points
2nd place gets 250 points
3rd place gets 150 points
4th place gets 50 points
5th place loses 50 points
6th place loses 150 points
7th place loses 250 points
Last place loses 350 points

No. No thank you.
