Players can double down on points:Specifics/Details:- Players can decide whether they want to "double down" and increase the amount of points someone could win (or lose)
- All players would have to "double down" to increase the amount of points up for grabs
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:- bring some fun back into the game

I believe this may have been suggested before. The two downfalls I can see with it is it would increase the lure for multi-creation and point-dumping.

are you suggesting that at game creation an option is selected for doubling the formula and maximum points lost
therefore all who join the game are accepting that increased points won/loss apply

I think it sounds like an interesting idea, particularly if some kind of mid-game variant could be devised (a bit like backgammon). However with the increased incentive for abuse I'd be surprised if the suggestion was accepted

maybe a premium option. this will make it so there wouldn't be multis. then point dumping all it would do is make it so its easyer to do it. it would make a diffrences.

this would be a fun option, but would be abused and thus should NEVER be implemented

I can only agree with the above. Whilst this option is nice in thought, the actual implementation would probably cause more harm than good.

I don't think this will do more harm than good because some users will abuse this game type. speed games are abuse by point dumpers does that mean we should do away with it, no. just ban the people that abuse like with every other games type

there could be a one round voting period where everyone would have to vote to double down.
in order for the double down to take effect every party would have to vote for it.
