To all the people complaining about 1st getting too many points:
In a three player game of kdice, how many points would you give to 1st, 2nd and 3rd? In my opinion if you give any points to 2nd, then 2nd would try to ally with 1st before 3rd does. Therefore 1st needs to get all the points while 2nd and 3rd lose equal. PGA would be easier to notice and players would have a chance to win every game so much less worries about quitters ruining it. Anyway, I'm trying to say 1st *doesn't* get too many points. (Even if they do the complaints are so unfocused they're nonconstructive). |

ELO was pretty unbalanced before. For example, the application to dominance is almost worthless because dominance emphasizes position and aggression instead of skill. Why not learn from this and balance the current scoring system first? It's starting to look pretty cool and you can always apply ELO to position score later if you think it's worth the complication (it's not even though I personally would like it). And maybe even add a separate old always increase rank on top of that. |

at 12:45 PM, Wednesday September 26, 2007 EDT To all the people complaining about unfair starts:
As far as I know there's an algorithm that modifies the starts. Players were complaining when someone started with an 8 stack or that they were always too hard to connect. So there's an algorithm that makes lands start closer together and no stacks higher than five? You could make a clear suggestion about this algorithm --personally I don't like it and prefer random starts-- but I expect 9/10 people shall disagree with you. Give up or put up an amazing and clear suggestion. |

Either make a "more realistic" probability table on the wiki or come up with a reasonable way to improve the randomness of the dice rolls. (Hint: you can't do either, give up) I mean what are the odds in Poker of player rank #1 going all in pre-flop with KK and *winning* against #2 guy who had AA? It's happened in gpokr before, I'm sure it's happened in real poker tournaments before too. Rare things aren't actually *that* rare. |

I have posted an Idea (in Ideas section) to freeze dominance when a single player controls the entire game :P |

Just request that the ranks of others not be displayed to you? Maybe even only let you see your own rank as top 100, top 500, etc. Then make a "Top 100" table where all the best players can play each other. I think this would make it easy to ignore unfair players while making them waste even more of their time. I know you guys think it's nice to show "#1 player," but a "cheater" shall always be able to beat a better *fair* kdice player. imo it's best to waste their time and ignore them and then *everyone* gets to have *more* fun. |
