so, first time since half a year i play without membership, and not only with one account, just to test the domless newbie-tables.

i donated some 1st to some newbs, to stay at low score, and i really dunno if domless is a newbfriendly way for kdice. usually its all about places, and more advanced people are better in trucing and social engineering, especially if you countertruce a first down to a lower place, its kinda rough for these players. on the other hand i rly have to say its a bit funny without dom, but not a good option for usual gameplay. hard to reward truces (you have to fuck other truces really hard, since theres no dom), and i still think bad starts are too rough.

i still cant see the point of the same loss for 5th, 6th and 7th.

Yeah, kinda sucks. Like the better map and colors though.

oooh yes please
the game was fairest with dom
and now it's just boring

give us our game back!!!

:)

Ryan some points on why dom may be useful for lower tables as well.

background: I tend to play lower tables and then max out at 2500 as the friendly/pga play at 500+ often knocks me back down.

1: Dom rewards aggression and thus reduces the propensity for people to camp out in a corner and not ever attack, which is poor play imho.

2: If i'm in first and have equal flaggers i like to let them fight, where dom actually hurts me here. However if equal flaggers are on opposite sides of teh board i usually use agression/ who would get more dom as a reward. I tried a game where i let people fight through me but that seems dangerous.

3. i seem to see many more people over extending themselves or making silly attacks. I think that having dom in will reduce this as this high risk high reward strategy breaks down with big negative dom.

Final note: Thanks for the great game, i'm far to addicted for the amount of work i have to do.

I totally agree with DrRed.

@Ryan: You should fix the dom on 500+ again, its too low for 2nd and 3rd places i think.

actually i like the new way on the 0 tables, but perhaps it needs to revert to the old way on the higher tables.

I agree,need the dom because now there is no point in playing. You cant gain anything for same reasons above
