Points

[thinktank]

Thank you for the search button. I believe it was implemented just recently? I did a search for this but found none. So...

Now I have another petition to make. I hope the game developer hears me out.

Conquerclub is a dog eat dog game. Why do I say that? Because the only way to garner points is to WIN! Ground your opponents into dust to get points. Be that as it may, I still love this game; as evidenced by the number of games I played for the past year.

May I suggest another way to earn points and rise up in the ranks a little teeny weeny bit faster. I suggest that a player who has joined at least 1 game in 1 week be awarded 1 BIG point.

An active player could presumably accumulate 52 BIGGG points in 1 year. WOW! That's something to look forward to. That would also redistribute points lost by deleting accounts. At last count there were 21395 accounts active in the past month. If everybody were active for a year that would be 1,112,540 points! Now I hear you say WHAT??? The highest scored player is Warsteiner with only 4668 points.

Again, hear me out. How many of these accounts are really active for the whole year? How many are even multis? So I will make some guesses here.

Out of the 21395 accounts, let's say 12000 are active. That is a very optimistic number. That will still give 648000 points floating around in one year. Let's say we only give the 1 BIG point to a subscribed player. THAT will narrow it down to a very small number of players. Let's make another guess and say 3000 accounts. Again, a very optimistic number. We are now down to 156000 points awarded in 1 year. Still a big number? Consider the number of players involved. If that 156000 points are distributed across 1000 very active and very good players, does that make them all brigadiers? Of course not. That's only 156 points.

Giving 1 point per week to each subscribed active member does not really unbalance the point system. And it also gives an edge(though not a noticeable one) to players who subscribe which may inveigle others to subscribe.

Again, I hear more grumblings. There will be a lot of high ranked players. This is coming from the top players. I understand that that they worked so hard to get to the top. And they think Conquerclub is just giving away ranks. Well, your laurels are safe. These points mean more for you to garnish. And what is wrong with more higher ranked players? Haven't you noticed that you play mostly with each other nowadays? I say bring in more blood. Competition is good.

Thank you.

Pointing is impolite... and even though there no shortage of rude dudes on the battlefields, I think the concept of a weekly allowance that generates 52 points a year doesn't seem like much of an incentive to stay active. Every player here will exceed that projected windfall with just a couple wins annually.

52 points..

you can get double that in one game

waiting a week for 1 measly point?

[sam08]

k maybe 5 points rather than 1

I like the idea of more ways to get points, but not the one a week thing. Maybe it shouldnt be that easy.

Or you know, we could just, not. Why have over a million extra points in the game. The bad players will lose them, the good players will take them and the doodle assassins will just toss them between themselves.

Allowance is not such a good idea.

Points through tournaments might be better idea.

Tournaments are sometimes dictating a play that is sometimes not best for a win. Thus, if everyone that enters a tournament will toss 3 points to the pot (2 for the winner and 1 for the runner-up). It will give another source of points and will compensate for games lost due to "tournament considerations".
