RE: Revised Scoring Proposal Poll
Once again, your revised scoring system does not just affect us, it will affect the entire Blitz as all ladders are balanced against each other. So even if 100% of players said they wanted it does not mean it will come in because it would require rewriting the DB system and balancing all the ladders once again. Also to note is this system may put players gaining ranks far more quickly than on another board, which would mean the games would be scored at a decreased amount to balance the ladders once again. I believe the CS games only award a max of 20 points for an OW win because the games play much faster so you report far more of them.
it isn't just a matter of lets change the world, which is why I said you had to do a study; contact the other board moderators and find out how long a ME/ADV/ASS game takes to play (average number of turns, physical time it takes to play the turn etc) and what is the scoring for each. Compare all to each other, average and see what comes of it; this is your idea so it is up to you do to the leg work on it. I do remember when we rebalanced the boards about 5 years ago (if not longer) an SP game was one of the slowest to play with replay, around 35-45 minutes while I think CS took 10 minutes (just a guess there).
You may post a poll if you like, no one is ever stopped from doing that for anything, but until all the relevant data is assembled, provided to me which I will then provide to the officers of the club who will look it over, discuss it and give a thumbs up or down nothing will happen. Even then Raz is very very busy with RL and working on Venus so it still would probably take a long time to come in if approved.
