Just an idea:As far as I remember, I don't think I've ever finished a round in a league with a negative point differential. Therefore, if points are calculated after each round then I would always keep my 50 LP. Even though my point differential is positive I lose matches quite regularly so why don't we introduce another mechanism that would increase the impact of losing a game. I think losing should 'hurt', like a being 'injured' during a battle. A defeat could reduce the max LP of a player by 2, perhaps 5, therefore only an undefeated player would remain at 50 LP. An example:I've played all 4 games of the first round: I won 2 matches, lost the other 2.Score differences were: +1, -12, -21, +59As it is now, I finish with +27 and 50 LP, which means there are absolutely no consequences for the 2 games that I lost.What I propose is the following (if for instance we decide to reduce Max LP by 5 points after each defeat):Game #1: +1, LP 50, Max LP 50Game #2: -12, LP 38, Max LP 45 (-5)Game #3: -21, LP 17, Max LP 40 (-5)Game #4: +59, LP 40, Max LP 40I finish the round with all my LP but only 40 which is my new maximum. I got 'injured' after 2 battles in the arena, like a gladiator.I hope it wouldn't be too confusing to have different Max LP values for everybody but it should be quite clear if shown in the existing "Live Point Adjustments" table that Dan already created.
What does everyone else think about this?
Thanks for the game Paul.I must say, although I enjoyed the game, my favourite part of it was the part of our in-game chat where I asked whether you'd been going to church recently as you'd drawn all 5 of the 5 cloisters that we'd seen at that point of the game. You said something like "Not at all. They're coming to me!" and I laughed a lot... )Always good fun playing you!
As for jungleboy's question, I don't know what to say. From one point of view, loss is loss, and we don't have to distinguish them. From the other side, this competition is all about point differential, and maybe this rule can have a right to be discussed and examined.
