Game on !

Effective immediately the following three changes to the rules will be implemented

1. All challenges to be posted in this thread as well as sent to the challenged player through PM. However, the challenged player still always to respond to challenge in this thread as a reply to the challenger's post (using the REPLY WITH QUOTE button).

2. No adjustments to force points anymore, i.e., all games will be 1600 FP for challenger and 1600 FP for challenged player.

3. A scoring system allocating points per game will determine the players' places in the table (replacing the direct switching due to game results), applicable on all games not yet concluded (i.e., including future games as well as currently active* games):

If 1-place difference between challenger and challenged player:
+25 for win, -5 for draw, and -20 for loss for lower placed player.
+25 for win, -5 for draw, and -20 for loss for higher placed player.

If 2-place difference between challenger and challenged player:
+30 for win, -5 for draw, and -15 for loss for lower placed player.
+20 for win, -5 for draw, and -25 for loss for higher placed player.

If 3-place difference between challenger and challenged player:
+35 for win, -5 for draw, and -10 for loss for lower placed player.
+15 for win, -5 for draw, and -30 for loss for higher placed player.

Each player will now be allocated a number of points that depends on his current place in the table, with the lowest placed player starting at 0 points and with players above be allocated 10 points per place difference.

Hopefully change #3 above (and possibly #2 as well) will incentivise players to challenge downwards as well.

* I realise this may be unfair to some players, but I have to draw the line somewhere at some point in time and this is after all a league just for fun and not to be taken competitively.

Please note that the two players still exchange armies with each other (independent of the game's result); each getting the other player's army.

If 1-place difference between challenger and challenged player:
+25 for win, -5 for draw, and -20 for loss for lower placed player.
+25 for win, -5 for draw, and -20 for loss for higher placed player.

If 2-place difference between challenger and challenged player:
+30 for win, -5 for draw, and -15 for loss for lower placed player.
+20 for win, -5 for draw, and -25 for loss for higher placed player.

If 3-place difference between challenger and challenged player:
+35 for win, -5 for draw, and -10 for loss for lower placed player.
+15 for win, -5 for draw, and -30 for loss for higher placed player.

Suppose Aetius challenges me and wins.
I am on 140, he is on 130.
He gets 25, I lose 20.
He is now on 155 and goes 2nd - all good.
I am now on 120 so am equal 5th with Tomoe. Does that work ?
Is there any point in -5 for a draw as it makes no difference ?

1. Does that work ?

1. Yes, it will work since you will have same number of points, but different places (who will have which place of the two of you will depend on sorting of some hidden decimals just in order to avoid the problem you correctly pointed at).
2. Maybe not significantly. But some, since you'll both lose points, not relatively each other, but relatively other players.

Sorry, rules say 24 hours from posting result: (A player must wait 24 hours, after the result of a game (in which he was the challenger) has been posted (whether by himself or the challenged player), before being allowed to make a new challenge.)

Updated until here.
