Eliminated teammates shouldn't get points

Postby the.killing.44 on Mon Dec 22, 2008 9:20 pm

Concise description:
  • Teammates who have been eliminated should not be rewarded the equal number of points that the remaining teammate does.

Specifics:
  • While I understand some teammates are eliminated in late rounds, the fact that teammates who have been eliminated from play, leaving their sole team member to play the game, are rewarded the same number of points that the team member who single-handedly won the game is unfair, in my opinion.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Players who won games against higher odds get more points and the ones they deserve
  • Players who have been eliminated from games do not get points that their teammate who won the game without their help do not get undeserved points.

what about when they sacrifice themselves willingly so their partners can take the cards and win?

No.

1. Killing your teammate for a mid-turn cash... sacrifice, but for victory. So not rewarding the sacrifice?
2. If your teammate gives you his troops the whole match, then gets killed. Why does he not deserve the credit?
3. Quads and trips... very common to win with few people left on the board.
4. Without their help? Trust me... they helped out. If they were eliminated by someone else... imagine those troops on you?
5. What if they gave advice to you?
6. Isn't it YOUR FAULT that you did not save your teammate?
7. If you are not working as one unit with separate deploys, you are obviously not playing correctly. If I am in a fight and one of my arms gets broken, do I favor the other arm for the rest of my life (points do not expire)?
8. You pointed out late rounds, so why be unfair to some just so you can be to others?
9. Sometimes you let your teammates be killed so that you can win. Part of strategy. In a team game, the purpose is not to have both alive at the end, but at least one. In the Olympic bike races, some people ride out in from of others so those others get less win resistance. They sacrifice their chances for any medal just so others can get one. analogy
10. Why would you want to deny your partner points anyways?
11. Who says your partner could not have done just as well if your enemies targeted you and not him?

Do I need to continue?

It sounds like he won a team game with a useless teammate and wants more points for the win. In that case I understand what you're saying, but in most team games it just wouldn't make sense.

Dude, people would go after their teammates before their opponents because they want the full point bonus.

This is a terrible idea.

I was just to make a long post about how the team mates don't deserve points then I realised you meant eliminated not deadbeated
