I was just thinking what could be implemented new to this channel and i thought of following :) :

People who got many points and would like to have more cause they feel that they are better than the points show that they are, could increase theyr points by putting them into a pool with 9 others to fight for it!

I imagined it like this: Something like a ALL or NOTHING game, once per month/week depending how many people are fond of this.

A game is created by admins @ forum starting on monday (if once per week) or the first day of each month (if once per month). They decide what game it will be.. like 200xp points for signing up. This means that if a player with 1400xp has to put 200 into a pot with 9 other players. So the pot will have like 2000points. The winner takes it all the loser loses all. SO if team A wins they get 400 points each. Or they lose 200 points each by losing :)..

Look i havent looked through this idea detailed..or maybe u guys out there can start with my idea and improve it in some way. Or u point out the reason why it would fuck up the whole ELO system.

The good thing is, that good players who feel they earn more points or they wanna climb up the xp.ladder faster can signup for this.. Or for people who like playing poker ;D..and the thrill to get much or lose much.

It could be 3 times a month (every sunday) 100xp per signup..and once a month (last week each month) a big pot..with 300xp each.




Its just an idea..maybe a good maybe a bad one :)..

GreeeeetingZ.

i like it.
only bad part would be the losing team's teamchat ^^

no thanks...nothing more to add.. just NO! :P

Well.. noone is forced.. its free signup for the "players" of the community :D.. just once a month/week so it wont have an real HUGE impact on the overall xp-system.

And restrictions like: "Only above 1400xp allowed for this signup".. so 5pros against 5pros can play against each other. Once a month. The 5 who lost maybe wont be able to add to the next one next month cause they fell below 1400xp.

Cause the stakes are HIGH, ppl will know "ah k on 26.10.2008 there is the important game..lets contact all and arrange a teamspeak/ventrilo".. So it probably will be 5 ppl with ventrilo against other 5..but the teams will be maybe 15min before start mixed by bot.


I think this will end up in a "pro-match" once a month.. high gain high lose.. for those who are lower than the restricted xp level..it will be intresting to watch who wins and loses etc..

it would create imbalanced (and therefor incorrect) amounts of xp to both winner and loser, the ELO system is all based around fact that if u win a game ull get +1 in end
if u implement this, then the "luck" of a win influences the score too much and they will be considered better (or worse) players then they really are, which in turn makes the balancing of the bot worse
in the end you wont want it either knowing the consequences.

Gambling in a system thats supposed to balance itself by many games played will just screw it.

They will start saying "now i got into this team coze this noob has 400xp over me from a bet"....

Gambler was removed from dota for same reason. Skills should be more important then luck. And a single game with hundreds of xp changes is a gamble.

KK i get it ;)..

Still wanted to share my idea.. maybe it will lead to some other ideas.. not influencing the xp system so much or in other ways dunno ;)..

Thx for replys btw :D
