STOP LEAVING THE TABLE on 0-100 BEFORE THE KILL

Long long time ago, KDICE was facing a plague: the "Early Flag" syndrom (also called "Pussy Flag").

Now KDICE is facing a new plague: The "Early Leave" syndrom.

STAY ON THE FUCKING BOARD UNTIL YOU GET KILLED. IT GIVES 50 POINTS TO THE OTHER GUY, POINTS THAT YOU CAN GET BACK ON LATER GAMES, AND COST YOU NOTHING.

Even before kill bonuses, that's what happened on lower tables: about one person lagged out on average and 1 or 2 others went all in in the first rounds and ragequitted if it didn't get them a good outcome. So nothing changed, except it has become even easier to reach the 500 tables now imo.

and what are you even doing on a zero table... *kicks ehervey out of the cool people's clubhouse*

I suck. that's what I am doing.

Now think about it. In average 10 games per 20 minutes on 0 and 100. 6 kills per game, that's 300 free points per rounds, so 900 points per hour, 21600 per day, 650k per month. This is more than all points combined earned by all players...

Yeah, the kill bonus is actually there to replace the 70 free points per game that we used to have as point inflation mechanism.

It's not a guarantee that we will get these changes soon but, his is where we are atm:

* Ryan said he will scale the kill bonus

* Ryan said he 'll probably install a system to prevent people from flagging out before the kill: probably only allowing to flag out during your own turn.

So I don't mind people making forum posts about the scaling of the kill bonus or about the suckyness of people flagging out to prevent the kill. I just think they will happen anyway and we should give Ryan some time to do it.

I think the reason he is stalling is to integrate everything into one extra change. If we look at his forum posts and the test server, it's obvious that he is currently looking at a few aspects of the game that could be changed to promote "better" games.

Changing the rules every week isn't good either.

also, I should ban you from making calculations or do estimates because there are sooooo many errors in there that a mathematician would kill himself if he saw that :)

My eyes bled. And I weeped a bit.

Then I got to this nugget: "This is more than all points combined earned by all players..."

Then I realized he _must_ be joking???

Jurgen,
you always have to make things bigger than they are to attract attention.
