I apologize for the bit of humor and I was not trying to be sarcastic. That is a very intriguing, and selfish idea. Perhaps if it works as a form of strategy for game play then others will soon pick up on it as well and we will soon see many top competitive teams composed of three high ranking players and one low ranking player. In such a speculative end however the strategy would then fail as the score would also end up the same regardless of the winner if teams fighting each other are composed of such foursomes.silversun6 wrote:to Viceroy63 - i dont know if you were sarcastic, but my intentions are selfish , as the players i mainly play as teammates are majors and colonels and if we win in a simple double game we gain somewhere around 10 points and if we loose its about 30 , so to improve the score we need to win 4 out 5 game , and even than its not too much of a gain.
so the "low rank" should be somewhere around 1100 points .
also sorry i didnt write it in a first post , the player aslo need to be not in the clan currently - so sorry kuma. i would like to have the option to invite the player to join osa eventually.
A player's score is kind of like a price in economics. It's the basis for transactions, and it means something, but what exactly it means isn't always well-defined. Most of the SoC's teaching involves getting players used to counter-intuitive settings that can be applied to a variety of situations.Viceroy63 wrote:I might interject here that as I understand it, the SoC was formed to prevent the advantages that HRP's (Higher Ranking Players) were taking of, of LRP's. No sooner would some one Join CC that they were played with for their score. Although this is a new angle it still seems like fishing or farming in a way. I could be wrong and this is just a thought.
In the quote that begins this post, you assume that the student's score will shoot up, possibly to the point where it's mis-representative of the student's skill. In the quote above, you suggest that a LRP will drag his/her team down most of the time. These assertions can't both be right.In other words, If I am playing with a team of four participating individuals against three HRP's and one LRP then I would simply break out the champagne early or maybe not too early but I would have it out and ready for the celebration as soon as the game was over. I would simply see that as a disadvantage to your team. If you look at minds like Horsepower, then surely 4 horsepower will always out perform 3.
Let's crunch some numbers.In the meanwhile it would also leave that low ranking player as the "Odd Man Out." The sooner that his total score goes up beyond a certain number it would be time to retire him and find a new "LRP" (Low Ranking Player). While the LRP would come out of the adventure with considerable experience and learning, If his mental aptitude for learning is high, he would also eventually come to know the most important lesson of all. That of being used by the top dogs for his Low Rank.
sorry xerocco , took one already.xerocco wrote:I would be interested !
