Game 7218788: HighlanderAttack gained 4 points

Game 7218784: HighlanderAttack lost 100 points

Game 7218786: HighlanderAttack will lose 100 more points


I believe there is something wrong with the point system. Especially when 1v1 is basically a 50/50 game.


Just something to think about CC.

[obliterationX]

CC points are CC points, and nothing more. However it doesn't really excuse your rudeness towards the cook in those games though, does it? I do think, though, that the current system is ridiculous to say the least!

[Paddy The Cat]

yeah... not very nice words to your opponent. I mean honesty is important to me but there is no reason to be offensive. I know I've done that though in my time... and i regret doing it. I know you got caught up in the moment but... c'mon dude.

Anyways... yeah it might not be perfect. If you have an idea go to sugs and bugs. ^_^

This not only coming from me, but from Paddy The Cat too, in the post directly below mine.

Edit: The same also coming from Metsfanmax, below me again. You're low.

Okay, then I'll say it, and I'm not normally rude. There's no justification for calling someone a bad player without provocation, and it's not your opponent's fault that he'll get a lot of points for winning against you. If you don't want to play against random people who might be low rank, then don't start open games, and if you don't like that Risk is luck-based... then don't play it.

then don't play 1v1 unless you invite someone of equal or greater rank... farmer (this is said in gest)...-the black jesus has spoken

stop playing low rank players. make your games private and put them in callouts something along the lines of "hey I have some games for 2000+ only pm me for the password" problems solved

[Master Fenrir]

I always thought that the tourney addicts understood that high scores would be difficult to maintain and that 100 point losses would happen sometimes. *shrugs*

Moving this over to suggestions.

[JoshyBoy]

This doesn't belong here...

[Darwins_Bane]

Bumpage? .....also LOL

[alex951]

This belongs in GD. its like the complaints about dice.... but this is about points

and i dont see a form filled out so obviously this is a grievance

[JoshyBoy]

Moved to General Discussion. Sorry about the mix up people.

[Army of GOD]

Sorry for the confusion everyone.

I'll PM ijex and get him to move this to C&A, where it belongs.

[Georgerx7di]

General discussion, what's up! Somebody said people still post here?!

[angola]

Wait, it's rude to tell a cook they are a bad player?

Shit, don't read some of my game chats.

You all just jump to conclusions without even looking into the game properly.

A. Read the reasons why I called him a bad player (he attacked 3v3's continuously on his first turn trying to get a bonus). He has missed 7% of his turns. He started as a 324 point cook. I am so sorry it is so rude to some of you, but those are the things that make a bad player.

B. It is a tournament game not a random game just made up.

You are the only person who got the point of this thread I believe.

There is no way that anyone should lose 196 points (almost a whole rank) playing three games was my point.

Not bitching--just stating. I am mostly a medium to upper major and it does not change very often. It just does not make sense to me that at best a 60% chance to win can net you a 196 point loss.

Clearly this is not true, if he is attacking 3 vs 3's like you say then you will win way more than 60% of the time vs him over a large number of games

1. You join a tournament, where you KNOW the odds are about 50/50.
2. A cook (WHICH MEANS HE IS BAD AT PLAYING THIS GAME) joins the same tournament.
3. You play cook.
4. You may tie him in the series, but he gets a positive net points.
5. You bitch about this though YOU KNEW THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE CONSEQUENCES. If you don't want to lose that many points, don't join a easy-to-lose game/tourney.
6. ??????
7. PROFITS!

Listen to ijex. He's telling the truth about the probabilities.

I understand that--this is why I called him a lucky BAD player
