Post by Havatcha »

Has anyone ever got to zero (or less!) points? This is my challenge.... I belive that mathematically it's impossible but I may be wrong..

nobody has and lack installed a 1 point lower boundary.

It is theoretically possible to get lower than 0. Two players with 1 point play the one who loses goes to -19. But as I just said the lower limit means that it is impossible

u can't get to zero points. lack put a minimium of 1.
also if udrop to one the mods have decided it to be impossible unless ur trying to lose. which is against the rules.
plz don't try to drop points as i feel it ruins CC's good sportsman atmosphere.

Why do you want one?

Not intentionally, just throwing caution to the wind..... I do find this obession with winning a little dampening on gameplay though.... or is it just sour grapes on my part.. I don't know. I've just become a cadet again so now I shouldn't even be writing here... aaarhhh get me out of here!

(loser's score / winner's score) * 20.

Let's say ( 2000 / 0 ) * 20.
Equals Image * 20.

I believe the maximum number of points a player can win off of another person in a given game was also limited to 100 to prevent that exact situation.

your score will all of a sudden drop to -105, from winning a game from someone with a negative score :lol:

the loser of that game on the other hand would scyrocket to a stunning 2.086 points

now that would definitly be a WTF moment :lol:

not necessarily.....though you would have to be very very bad and very unlucky.I would imagine that if you were that bad you would eventually quit before you hit zero out of frustration but there might be someone out there that would keep

case a

player A

wins 5
loses the next 15
than win 8
than drops another 15
than wins 5 loses 3
wins 5 than drops 15
than goes on a streak and loses 20-25.....

this keeps happening until they end up hitting zero.Now the player is trying to win and does,
do to lucky dice and or bad players/bad playing but just does not have any clue on
strategy.Like I said the players would have to be really really really bad.Its very unlikely that
someone is that bad but not impossible.
