I think its lots of fun, but here are my observations so far:
1. The luck swings seem way more dramatic than at regular tables. There are times when a player can win 90% of their games for a 10-20 game stretch based purely on start position and the other player losing +2/+3 rolls. Feels broken in one person's favor at times. 2. There is a large amount of lag there, every once in a while costing someone a game. 3. Dom doesn't kick in until round 4 4. Playing 1v1 games completely eliminates PGA. However funneling clearly becomes the thing to watch for. 5. You don't have to wait for a table to fill up, so you can play quicker. 6. Dice strategy skill becomes far more important than social manipulation. This can be good or bad depending on your view of the game. 7. Its another solution to games where people flag and 1st sits and waits for people to fight for low spots. The winner gets to do a lot of attacking which makes it more fun to win. 8. 3 person games suck 9. It takes people away from normal 2k/5k games. 10. You can gain 50-100k in a day without funneling. Thats all I can think of for now. |

at 1:01 PM, Saturday August 31, 2013 EDT good post. I agree with most things you said.
2. this should be fine if added on the real server. 3. at first I was sceptic about dom in 1v1 but it's cool and it could be an incentive for more aggressive play + as leaving islands is very important in 1v1, another strategy aspect: when is taking the island worth the extra dom. What I still don't like is the overall points being lost if people flag out early. We kinda need point inflation, well certainly not point deflation imo. 4. sigh, yes 8. hate them 1v1 should be a seperate competion with seperate medals and seperate stats |

at 4:49 PM, Saturday August 31, 2013 EDT I'm 95% sure that the points from the test server will stay since I don't think that Ryan has an easy way of separating them again.

at 6:58 PM, Saturday August 31, 2013 EDT too late Mike, 1v1 has been disabled on the test server.
all I asked from the start was for 1v1 to be limited to 500 tables max and there would not have been any problems this month. |

at 7:33 PM, Saturday August 31, 2013 EDT I think 5ks dying and gold and silver getting more than half their points from a test server is a problem too :)
if you integrate 1v1 into kdice for an entire month (not on a test server but so that everyone can easily find it), the leaderboard would be dominated by 1v1 |

at 11:23 PM, Saturday August 31, 2013 EDT Dont really see the point of 1 vs 1 games. Pushing dices is the easiest part of the game and all good players usually master this skill.
IMO, the fun of the game comes with the interaction/manipulation/trolling/... with other players, not rolling dices.... |
