I hate the scoring in GA, it's so lopsided.

I've wiped out every opponent I've faced since the championships began. And nothing to show for it. Because if I lose by a point, I lose out on 1000 points. I'll say it again, the scoring blows donkey nuts in this game.

    You’re right, you did say it again...

    Lol, thx I needed the laugh after this one. Don't know why it posted twice.

    I mean, traditionally a loss is a loss.
  • Options
    Yea, but when you lose because you weren't scored correctly it really sucks. At least three times this past ga I've ended a battle with full protection and it wasn't counted.

    And when both opponents wipe each other in the same amount of attempts one shouldn't get 1000 extra points because they ended one battle with a **** hair more protection than the other. It's kind of ridiculous.

    You wiped out your opponent but your opponent did the same but better than you did
  • Options
    Yes, that's exactly why I posted. I really want this all sorted out when the real thing starts.

    Yes Ultra 1 point better, he really outmanuvered me.

    Welcome to the real world

    Sports players aren’t whining about losing by one point

    Your opponent out performed you and beat you. In what scoring system would you get credit for that?

    Hey I've been on the other side too. I still don't agree with it. How can you call it outperforming? It's a fraction of protection that they ended their battle with. You think that's worth 1000 points? Lol

    That is a fraction of skill missing in one of the fights.

    Lol, I'm done talking with you ultra. That was the worst analogy ever.

    Lol, please stop, I'm about to fall out of my chair laughing.

    Imagine a draw where you have less gp than opponent and you lose.
    You have less gp and you scored same amount of points as a more developed player so you should be rewarded for an uphill win and yet you lose. That is not fair.

    Thats not right either kiel, I agree.

    So wait I'm not sure what you're proposing as an alternative? If the points are a reflection of how much a person wins by how would you resolve a tie? Both players get 1000 points? If that is the case then lets all agree to place D and not attack each other.

    After all this is the age of the participation trophy, since we all get a trophy no one has to try... Yipeee!

    1 point is equal to 1000, now I know why people are so bad at math these days, lol.

    Its also a difference between bringing a squad of 5 toons vs a squad of 4 toons (undersize)

    That's how that goes, right?

    So the 1001st post is really where it's at then?
  • Options
    Dar, no way **** that! I always give my all. But just score wins and losses. If it takes more than 1 battle you get less. How hard is that? If there is an occasional tie what is the big deal?

    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and expecting a different outcome.

    The definition of tenacity is doing the same thing 1001 times and DEMANDING a different outcome.

    A single stroke in golf tournaments can be the difference in over $750,000 worth of winnings. The same holds true in racing, where fractions of a second can mean huge swings in earnings. This is the reward for winning, even if it is by a fraction of a second/stroke/bar of protection.

    Again how can you compare sports to this game? Is there anyone with logic here?
