FFA Scoring

[[a] LYNX]

there are two important things that arent mentioned in the discussion yet:

1. It's somehow strange to put the words "fun" and "ladder" in the same context.
That's why I agree to any suggestion in regards to a more balanced pointing system.

2. Host advantage! Especially Mauti should check that the overwhelming amount of 1st places are made by the hosts of that games.
Thx the host for the games but damn bs you need only 1 bullet where I need a series of bullets to hit a target. The tactical part of the game is zero in ffa's and that's why the host advantage multiplies so much here.

For part 2 of that.. it's kinda inevitable. We can't really change any of that unless we play on dedicated servers and such. And that would be a pain in the ass so.

correct.

you should also note that skill often equals frequent playing, but not the other way around. It is almost inevitable that people who play much get more points than the hypothetical super-skilled people that only plays a few (1-10) cb's. Another problem here is that you can't measure skill very good; you have to have many "samples" ( = CB's) that show skill ( = high ranks). Every measurement gets more accurate with more data.

I host a lot of FFA's.  I only do so because there is a lack of people hosting FFA's.  I love when somebody else is hosting because I don't have to keep up with everything and I don't have to post the thing.  And guess what?  I normally place well even when somebody else is hosting.  Last season I played in someone else's host about 20 times and had 1st place finishes in 15 of those games (unfortunately nobody knew how to post, so I ended up doing that for almost everybody last season).  So although the host may have some advantage, there is also a great amount of skill involved.  Also, I don't see how it's my advantage when somebody is in my server and they are lagging so bad that I can't even shoot them.  I have seen that more and more recently.[/size]

To add to what GS said...

I don't think the host advantage is that big of advantage to count it into the scoring and points. I've lagged on GS' host several times and still won the game.

So...

WTF is all about ?

I played very hard in this ladder, had tons of fun, played practically in the tougthest rooms (BT's) , and now a guy who didnt play as hard a did, as many times i did is crying about the scoring ?

WTF and F...U....

go play in BTs room all the way and u will find is hard to win there, i went close more than 15 times to win a game.

So SHUT UP AND BE A MAN, that means go play as..oL.
