[OOC] Arena Chat Thread

Still not sure I agree with losing points for losing a match, I think a loss on your record is enough. It probably won't be encouraging for new people if they lose their first two or three fights and end up lower on the leaderboard than anyone who has just started.

Otherwise it seems fine, and if the majority rule for losing points I'm not overly worried either way.

[Rilla]

It depends on th new folk as well.

Unless they aim o hop in directly and not get a feel for the place.

Plus rules will be open for negotiation as far as individual fights.

[ShidenBlades]

Or everyone could start at 0, instead of 1000.

Then you simply earn points for winnin and don't lose points.

[Rilla]

That opens the matter of how many points can be wagered, and the like

[ShidenBlades]

I'd imagine you can't wager anything until you have some.

Than, maybe say you can't ever wager more than 25% of your total points?

[Rilla]

Then we can't particularly start at 0. XD.

I'm still thinking 1000 and 10%

[ImportantNobody]

Maybe everyone gains 100 points per battle before doing calculations. That would solve the problem of what happens if you go to zero and also allows more active people to get higher ranking then new people without having to win over 50% of their matches to get higher than the starting value.

[ShidenBlades]

Or, the simple answer is that you can't bet points right away. You first have to earn points before you can bet any.

[ImportantNobody]

If 100 points is too much, maybe you gain 10 points per round before calculations. That way you always have at least 1 point to give. This isn't really meant to be a solution to the betting problem but just not betting extra below a certain amount is indeed the obvious solution.

[Rilla]

To be fair, you would literally have to lose a ton of battles to reach 0 points as its 10% Of your total.

1000 - 900
900 - 810
810 - 729
729 - So on and so forth

no extra calculations or anything. You most points based off what you go on with, so you don't win a ton of battles in the span of one other then lose more points because of it.

[ImportantNobody]

You have a point. I guess if you're that bad then you kind of deserve going to 0 points, or technically 1 because you can't take a tenth of 1. Well, you can't do that for 9 or below anyways but you'd round up so take away 1 from each defeat I'm sure, but who knows if they'd take your last point or not.

[Rilla]

One day I'll figure out how many time you have to lose. lol

[MelonHead]

One day I'll figure out how many time you have to lose. lol

@Rilla

Well, infinite losses, as that's how percentages work.

[Rilla]

Given we'll probably around up for the decimals, probably not infinite.

[Dolerman]

I think the win and loss record is a bit easier, I already have one from the Old guild.

[Alphakoka]

What about implementing a 'loan/debt penalty' ?
Wait, the ranking has no other use but bragging right atm, nvm then.

[Skallagrim]

Win- loss, points or no point. The purpose is to establish a raking system for those who want to participate. The longer we quibble the more drawn out this become and the greater the antipathy.

[Rilla]

The win losses will tie in, but on a whole be separate.

So alright. The final vote for it. By the end of the day/ttomorrow I wanna be able to go to Mahz with something.

I vote for points/loss of points. So that's one.

If you could kindly count your number when you vote that'll help.

[Alphakoka]

I vote for whatever's winning at the time.

so, it's 2 - 0 for point loss.

[Dolerman]

I suppose I vote for win-losses, I vote against point loss in favor of point gain.
