Here's an example.......
Ok i compiled the stats....over the last 75 days (jan. feb. march) bombardier has played 2,360 games....at the 10 min. per game average (obviously some go much longer but some are faster)...that is 23,600 minutes played...which comes to 393 hours played...which divided by 75 comes to an AVERAGE of 5.3 hours a day..... i averaged in a 2 minute wait between games for tables to fill... and it comes out to about 6.0 hours a day SIX HOURS A DAY im no saint...my stats come out to almost an hour a day... but come on 6 hours a day and im sure there are some people that are worse or just as bad.... is it even possible to play this game 6 hours a day and have an actual life? listen people..i love this game too but pls..if you find yourself neglecting the real world....KDICE ISNT THAT IMPORTANT yes i realize i just wasted my OWN time posting this...pls nobody point that out p.s. pwnd....n00b (everyone else says it) |

i like that idea because to be honest, sometimes I just can't control myself. |

at 3:35 AM, Tuesday March 18, 2008 EDT Fixed game amount leauges would definitely be my ideal kdice environment. More or less fixed, meaning a range +10% -10% of a certain number of games would do just fine too.
Another thing i was thinking of was a "last 100 games" ranking. You can get a good ranking by playing just 100 games then. If you play 120, your last 100 are taken into account. This way, everybody can play as many games as he likes but skill is measured as (#points/last 100 games). In theory it should give a more less stable rank for most players after they reach the cap of 100 games. Of course, this wasn't taking into account the different table limits. For the people that still intend to play 300 games or so, they might want to establish a solid 500 table based rank and gradually play more 2500/10k to replace the first point gains. With this system, more 2500 tables would be active (maybe only a few times a day) before the 10th of the month Personally, of course also depending on my score evolution, I would shift to 2,5k much earlier and try to limit my number of games on 500 in order to establish a descent rank with say 130-150 games. I could spread out my games over the entire month and play like 3 to 5 games a day. |

at 8:24 AM, Tuesday March 18, 2008 EDT The league is a nice idea Ryan, but if you have become a target of certain people, your involvement in the league is going to be ruined if they PGE you.
Another idea might be a team game, whereby you compete against 6 players from different teams? I dunno, just a suggestion? |

at 10:15 AM, Tuesday March 18, 2008 EDT I've been playing a lot of games lately, but it's always while I'm watching tv/chating on messenger, I'm not spending hours JUST playing kdice....it has occured to me as well that bombardierDS may be more than one person.

at 2:13 PM, Tuesday March 18, 2008 EDT also i dont think bombardier is more than 1 person...he plays the same all the time...it's always the half sensical only plays on 0 or 100 tables and says he will pge you but never remembers because he plays 1000 games a month
