Ent could do that, though I think an average from a sample of 1000 won't change much if you increase the sample size to 50000. There's also a reason for the averages being higher in some sectors. If you push 3 people into a small space (east) then they'll get more kills between them . That doesn't n...

[10:11:00 AM] Ziv: how many times ppl were mvps with most kills in south/west [10:11:02 AM] Ziv: back in the days [10:11:04 AM] Ziv: its bullshit [10:11:15 AM] Ziv: and someties u hardly get kills in east coz everyone is hunkering down I'm sure snake knows what averages are. 90 is a good compromise...

FFS... Well lets go with 90 then. Anyhow, I'm not here to argue, because what Sever proposed is still 1000 miles better than what he's been proposing for the last week. Hmmph, ok. I change my mind because, 1. I want to reach an agreement that works for everyone; 2. I'm not religiously sticking to on...

If we want kill points equal to flag points, we should use: East: K = 70.96 * 1 = 70.96 North: K = 119.05 * 1 = 119.05 South: K = 97.61 * 1 = 97.61 West K = (2 players): 107.27 * 1 = 107.27 West (3 players): K = 107.27 * 1 = 107.27 Ent, do you have any objection to using this from your first post, ...

Temb, I agree that's important, but what Ent's doing is relevant too. I suppose the easiest way to say it is: "the macroscopic reflects the microscopic". In other words the total ratio of kills to flags reflects all the minor occurrences that happen during a match. However, I actually see your point...

Well, you are right about one thing - I am lumping bonus points in with kill points, and then forcing that sum to be a ratio of flag points. But it's totally equivalent to lumping bonus points in with flag points, and then forcing kill points to be a ratio of that sum. It's also equivalent to creat...

So you're using killbonus= 5*flagcount and estimating the average flagcount as half the total flags. That's fair enough. If we use it, we might go with something like B=3 though. It's clear that would take 30, 48, 36, 36, and 36 from the totals instead, so there's no need to work those out. My issue...

This way of reasoning changes what was always the most fundamental aspect of dsb's gameplay. The whole point was to win flags, how anyone went about doing so was entirely up to them. Even the most extreme kill-oriented players had big dings in mind. I agree. I think you misunderstood what I was say...

Edit 2: I bothered to look up the old discussion. I proposed anything between 2-3. The 6vs6 system got most support. Then people agreed we should switch it to 80 for now. ~roughly 2.5 was the aim people in general approved of. By no means can it be higher than 3 was said, and 2 is low. I already fo...
