i have a solution for fair competition in kdice but i fear - no one will listen

how to make kdice more competitive

instead of "score based" tables - we need a two level based table

a free - qualification level --- level 1
and a closed - competition level ---- level 2

u can only join a competition level (2) if u won level (1) to open it

for example:
level 1 table (open for everyone but no points no scores)
level 2 table (only open for players who won last level 1 or 2 game)

as long as u not win, u keep playing level 1 and don´t get scores and don´t lose score

after a victory u can play level 2 and get the chance to score but u go back to level 1 if u not win

and ONLY WINNER GETS POINTS OR QUALIFY FOR COMPETITION - 2nd, 3rd, 4th places and flags are valueless

and u get more points if u win couple of level 2 table games in a row:

1 point for winning level 2 1 time
7 points for winning level 2 2 times in a row
49 points for winning level 2 3 times in a row

but as soon as u NOT BECOME 1st u bump back to level 1

this system would block pga...and even more the whole flagging shit

but the current free and open system makes the whole ranks valueless

but i fear again...noone listen...

Well if your just talkign about noobs trying to learn, it's pretty easy to figure out and the 0 tables could pretty much do that for them but for other things it might be nice.

if new players need help i would go back to the original dice wars and master that first

it only takes a few games here after that to adapt what you learn there to the nastiness of real people

well this idea dates back to a whole different scoring system i therefor would like to pull my vote out of it.

i agree with penubag. nomnomnom.

Isn't Dicewars basically a practice table?

good point

or you can try dicewars

why dont u play dicewars???

Excellent idea. Tables without a score change wouldn't have people flagging right and left, so I wouldn't even play normal tables if this was implemented.
