While I do agree with Arun's idea I don't think points should be the factor deciding which games you play - you should just play with the setting you enjoy the most.

Most rp games end by vote anyway, nobody would get points

Well, the whole point of the duel template is that offensive kill rate is higher than the defensive kill rate; most of the objections here (sans Prison Break) still have higher or equal defensive kill rates than offensive. Perhaps a better plan would be only to take away points if the offensive kill rate is higher than the defensive kill rate.

Season IX's games had an 85% defensive kill rate, which would fall under the current rules of 20% despite being a decently strategic template.

@ChrisCMU: Roleplaying (Multi-day) games end in vote, Diplo (Real-time) games are usually ranked and don't end in vote. There's a big difference between the two despite having a similar concept :/

I have a question. Does my won auto-game fall under this category?, because when I won 1 the game multiplier was 50%, any idea why. The same was with my ffa I won.

RT games have a 50% multiplier.

Why do RT games have a 50% multiplier?

This is Smart

Regarding RT having lower points, perhaps it is due to the fact that they have a far higher boot rate than do multi-day games and are more likely to be manipulated through settings than are multi-day.

Fizzer, would this template be fair? http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=342656

This template attempts to abuse the income overflow fix*. If a player plays the wrong number of sanction cards, they will either have half of the armies the other one does (leading to sure defeat), or they will have 0 income (Also leading to sure defeat.)

*If your income goes over ~2 billion, it resets to 0.

Here's 3 practice games I made with my alt to show what could happen.

#1 - 1 player uses 1 more sanction card than the other: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=4691514
#2 - 1 player plays too many sanctions and overflows: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=4691510
#3 - Weird stuff happened: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=4691515

^ That looks incredibly time consuming. Kudos for going through the trouble O.o

RT have 50% because they end quicker than multidays which takes more time.

Rinrin:

Just curious here, why does your template include all the Reinforcements Cards? From what I can tell, the only relevant bit is the Sanctions Cards.

Just now noticed that you get diminished points for beating someone that i have recently beaten maybe a few days ago.

Hi, yoah, im the King of Kingz, fool!
