Just because I lose alot of games my score goes down. Is there anyway we can fix this? Also can we make more players be nice to me. i am an insecure loser and need this game to make me feel strong.

I thought I used to understand more or less how the TAPL worked... but how the hell is kwiz first under that scoring? wasn't it based highly off of win %'s?

19 % 1st
11% 2nd

14% 6th
23% 7th

(note, kwiz is a badass player who only has bad stats currently cuz he purposely tanked his score as part of the phoenix project, and went from 1250 to 2150 in a matter of 2 days when he started playing for real again, so i'm not saying anything against his playing)

but how in the hell does that work? I thought TAPL was win %s

?

I fully endorse this method of scoring. Ryan, I suggest it be adopted as the official kdice scoring system.

I await the change to take effect so that I may take my rightful place as #1 on the top players page.

Grun: "I thought TAPL was win %s"

TAPL will measure any kind of skill, whether highball or lowball. It takes skill to come in last place in almost a quarter of your games when the law of averages indicates only 14%. So kwiz can be justly proud of his two kinds of skill, all shown in three weeks!

skrum:

what would the top 25 look like if you negated the effect for 5-7th?
