Has anybody figured out who ChristianSoldier is?

nah, but tell me, when you know it.

Oh I love your little provincial social concerns. Very cute.

Well, one possible answer is to have someone code a rival to kdice and have people who are annoyed with whatever is going on over here to play there.

But, you know, it would have to be good.

It's not like this is rocket science or anything.

Actually, coming up with a really rock-solid scoring system for kdice *is* the mathematical equivalent of rocket science. But that's ok, rumor has it there are some rocket scientists about.

Actually, what you do is have multiple versions of the scoring system in effect at the same time. You have the 'official' one that is status quo, and that's what that month's basis for competition is. Then, you also have one or more additional systems in place that are experimental. At the end of the month, you see which version players find the most satisfying (by a vote). If one version is far superior to another, that becomes the new status quo.

Once you have a change, you keep the previous scoring system as an experimental one, plus any additional systems you want to tweak. You also don't allow changing the system each month.

In addition, each scoring system needs to be fully divulged so the average person can understand what the heck is going on.

I don't see the problem.

If you win a game, you easily win 600. That's enough to compensate for 2 -300 6th/7th's. If you do a good job stealing some dom you can limit those bad start losses to -200 or even -125.

So how hard is it to win a game once in a while?
