Heh Sam, I remember how I originally questioned you about letting people join div 1 in the lobby and you explained all this :)

Maybe some sort of dynamic Challenge CR/skill would be better, but that would just over complicate things really...

Your saying fighting Longo and Latte for first place wont be a challenge?
Way to destroy your own argument there.

Also, You want to see the the game improve along what you think is the best, that does not mean it is the best way, same could be said about my arguments.


If its just you and lattes teams in Div 1 and then AI what is the challenge for second or first place, if everyone was in one league off course there would be a challenge. A large PVP based player challenge

I have never stated ' do it this way' unlike you

All members in one league, until the wrinkles are ironed out, full PVP challenge, smaller prizes ( for now ) untold bragging rights or have it your way, at least your bound to win something eh !!!

1st    $3000000    25    25%
2nd    $2400000    20    20%

I never did say "I'm right, your wrong", I'm not the one in charge, I am merely suggesting what I thing would be the best, the same thing you are doing, do not twist what I say.

Well then, we do it your way, BUT, we move everyone to Div 1 instead, now, the playing field is leveled, right, now, I cant get free rewards, right?

Now, if you don't want to fight in division one because the skill cap and CR is higher, well, then now you know what I feel when you want to force me to dogfight in compacts.

And yes, I did the math, for division 5, between 3 players, even if we just use a phoenix with twin GG's each, it will come to a total of 354 cr, above the limit!

What I "Think"
–verb (used with object)
11. To have or form in the mind as an idea, conception, etc.
12. To consider for evaluation or for possible action

Again, don't twist my words  :mad:

Here's how it's going to work:

1. Each division will have a minimum of 6 teams; if there's less than 6 human entries then NPCs will make up the extra
2. The prizes will be reduced if there are less than 10 human teams in a division.

That seems reasonable... but...
How much of a reduction are we talking about here?

I just don't see how Div 1 will ever have 10 teams in it...

It should be proportional IMO, so a 20% human division gives out 20% of the prizes.  Otherwise it's just free money for beating up the AI.

To expand on what I said earlier - one test of the system should be that if I join a league and automatically surrender to the humans, but beat the AIs, I should at best get my money back.

True, I can see how a league could be exploited if there are only, say, 3 teams. Which is why I like the idea of the league not running if it doesn't get more than that

This seems like a fair chart...
About the "Surrendering/Exploiting" thing, I think its pretty easy to check if the battle was actually played or not.

Although I'd say let a league run at 60% price with 3 entry's...
