The sandbox has tested a new way to adjust ratings with the goal of making kdice a better game. The results have been mostly positive. The changes mean that strategies that worked in the other version may not work with the new version. You may have played hundreds of games a certain way and it may be difficult to adjust. But our goal is to make an all round better game experience. So keep an open mind and try pick up the strategy. So far it seems to be closer in game play to the original to Dice Wars.
<b style="color:#000">Rating Adjustment 1:</b> This is the same as the old adjustment. You get more points for placing higher relative to your opponents rating. It isn't valued as much however since there is a second adjustment. <b style="color:#000">Rating Adjustment 2:</b> This adjustment ranks you against other players based on your average territory count at the beginning of each turn. When you are knocked out your rank is calculated and an adjustement is made. |

Ryan do we actually have a bug reporting mechanism? But if I were you, I would participate at the phoenix contest :) The first game you play should give you +500 or somehing :)))) |

This is a joke right? Which two people were asked in this survey? And before anyone climbs on the bandwagon ... I know this is Ryan's gig, and He can do what he wants with it. However, in my own "survey" 9 out of 10 people say the new system sucks. |

at 1:27 AM, Friday February 16, 2007 EST I'm getting tired of all this whining. There WAS a sandbox, your WERE invited to participate. There WERE the results generally positive.
Your survey is just not representative. Point. |

at 11:15 AM, Friday February 16, 2007 EST guys, this might be the 100th post already.
why don't we all calm down. it is still a game. we still should be grateful to Ryan. dont make him regret that he chose to enable loads of democratic mechanisms into this game site. Show some respect, please. If you didnt have this forum, you had no-where to grunt and complain - I fear that some of these "problems" (medals, criticizing the new rating etc) wouldnt even be problems if you had no chance to voice your opinion in that loud of a manner. So: cherish free speech, be grateful to ryan and just get on with the game. it is actually quite a nice game, you know. |

at 12:38 PM, Friday February 16, 2007 EST Just wanted to post a quick message that I love the scoring changes. I never liked how some players would "hide and survive" in order to get more points and this update has drastically decreased the use of this strategy. Thanks.

at 11:19 PM, Thursday November 15, 2007 EST I like the new system, but I think it is brutal if you get a bad streak: I have lost all my points, twice, in a one day period (and that's after a week of playing). This is because i had bad starting position, or just other "unlucky" things. It is extreamly frustrating to lose game after game after game (the whole time watching your score drop like brick) because "unlucky" events happen to you. My thought is just losing less points in a game. That way one wouldn't lose all their points in a day. Oh, i was also wondering if losing points if one does not even get a turn is fair (now i'm not sure if there's a bug, but when one goes out before he/she gets a turn, they lose 32 dominance points, as opposed to 0 if they get at least one turn. I have seen this twice now). Anyways, great game.
