This is a simple question that I can't find the answer to-

If your teammate is eliminated but you win the game anyway, does he get ranking points added? Does it go on his record as a win or a loss?

he gets points too and its a win. team effort y'know

Sometimes a teamate will sacrafice themselves to get a win for the team overall. This has to be recognised.

From the tone of Doomheit's question, I am guessing that he played a game where his teammate was less valiant than the situation Rocketry describes. In that situation, which we have all been in, leave feedback and be happy you got the win!

Here is an example of the point distribution when my teammate was eliminated in the game...(735835, he did not get eliminated early, I actually forgot it was a doubles game and eliminated him!)

2007-08-16 01:32:56 - donkeycrock, ddaug4uf won the game
2007-08-16 01:32:56 - trk1994 loses 19 points
2007-08-16 01:32:56 - TexAg92 loses 19 points
2007-08-16 01:32:56 - donkeycrock gains 19 points
2007-08-16 01:32:56 - ddaug4uf gains 19 points

a sacrifice is different from deadbeating. There shouldn't be points for deadbeat team mate. Just my 2 cent :wink:

Unless I am mistaken, a deadbeat teammate doesn't get a share of the bounty of points, correct?

by **khazalid** on Fri Aug 31, 2007 4:32 am

incorrect

I would agree but then it would make multiing a better point farming exercise.

Dead beaters are the equivalent of deserters in a team game. Yes they are part of the winning army or at least signed up to be but because of their behavior they should be court marshaled and get a dishonorable discharge or at least a negative feedback.

Well, if we have such active mods i want to bonk the character limit on sigs. it's stupid.

If the sigs surpass the guidelines then they can always be moderated by the mods.
