- Current cap is 100 points, lower it so that no loss costs an individual more than 50 points
Specifics:
- Change maximum loss to 50
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- Currently cap of 100 is rarely utilized
- Losses of 60-75 points is frequent and largely due to dice and randomness
- Point loss cap of 50 will encourage higher ranks to play more games and variety of games because of decrease fear of drastic point loss
- Currently a game of someone with 2100 points playing someone with 700 has ability to gain 6 points and lose 60. A 54 point spread, the cap would only make a 44 point spread and make the option of playing someone of lower rank not that much of a nuissance.
- Higher ranked individuals are more effected by swings in points, a 60 point swing can lower or raise a rank for these individuals while a 60 point gain for a cook will hardly impact them. The system allows cooks to still have ability to gain many points in these games, just soften the burden to higher ranks slightly
- Overall benefits will allow for more games, less animosity in games between cooks and high ranks, more fair point distribution following games - 100 points for a loss is very dramatic and no win or loss should be worth that much because dice, drops, cards, etc. all play large roles in these games and are random.
but anyway...)
