1 Point

Post by wrightfan123 »

There are bad streaks, there are good streaks, and then there are "Simtom Streaks". He now has 1 point, which means anyone playing him (like me) will recieve none. My question is how did he play anyone bad enough to keep falling? It's one of the mysteries of life. I'm really scared I'm gonna lose the game against him :).

The official answer is "NO" because it's impossible due to safeguards Lack has in place in the coding. Minimum score is 1.

And he didn't reach 1 point because he played bad. He did it on purpose so he could reach the minimum.

Interesting question. As he approached a score of 1 he had to lose doubles games with a regular person (someone having a real score, say above 1000 points) to continue to drop points.

For example:

Team 1:
simtom: 10
B: 1028

Team 2:
C: 1071
D: 1206

Team 1 loses to Team 2

Team 1 loses:

(10 + 1028) / (1071 + 1206) * 20 = 9.117, rounded to 5 points per team member

After the game:

Team 1:
simtom: 10 - 5 = 5
B: 1028 - 5 = 1023

Team 2:
C: 1071 + 5 = 1076
D: 1206 + 5 = 1211

His "accomplishment" is forever tarnished by the means by which he "achieved" it. He deadbeated literally hundreds of games. I have as much respect for his "accomplishment" as he apparently had for his fellow players in those games.

It was pretty funny, though.

Thankfully I've only played one game against him. I gained a full 7 points from him.
