I like a lot about the new system. I think a lot of people do. But dom -- particularly late-game dom -- is an endless source of frustration.

You get games where 2nd and 3rd fight for 10 turns. 2nd is at +2 flag, 3rd at -2, 1st at +10. 3rd has only a weak incentive to flag. If he holds out, he may get lucky. Also if he holds out, he may convince 2nd to flag first. You get these long, drawn-out games of chicken, which end when the two cars collide and everyone loses (except the 1st place guy).

And it's worse, if possible, if there's a standoff between 2, 3, and 4.

These are worse than the old system of ninjas. Ninjas were sometimes fun, sometimes annoying. Playing chicken with #3 and watching both your scores slowly go into the toilet? That just sucks.

Two ways to potentially fix it:

1. Institute a dom cap. At some point, first maxes out, and then doesn't sit and encourage 2 and 3 to fight forever. (A negative dom cap would work too).

2. Diminishing dom. Perhaps 1 per turn for the 1st ten rounds, then 1 per 2 turns for the next ten, then 1 per three turns, etc.

There are probably other options as well.
