EXAMPLE:
PLAYER 1: 10 days, 12 stats, 10 Castles, 10 Mercury, 10 Gold
PLAYER 2: 10 days, 10 stats, 10 Castles, 20 Mercury, 10 Gold
According to the classic approach, who won? Answer: PLAYER 1.
According to the formula, who won? Answer: PLAYER 2. Here's the calculation:
Points = ((Days_p + (0.5 * Stats_i) / 396 + (0.25 * Mercury_i) / 200 +
+ (0.125 * Gold_i) / 1000000 + (0.0625 * Castles_i) / 48) * 1000) / Days_i
PLAYER 1 = ((5 + (0.5 * 12) / 396 + (0.25 * 10) / 200 + (0.125 * 10) / 1000000 + (0.0625 * 10) / 48) * 1000) / 5 = 1008
PLAYER 2 = ((5 + (0.5 * 10) / 396 + (0.25 * 20) / 200 + (0.125 * 10) / 1000000 + (0.0625 * 10) / 48) * 1000) / 5 = 1010
Question: who will be considered the winner? What should we rely on?
We need to either 1) align the formula and the classic approach, or 2) remove one of them altogether.
Or both ratings will be taken into account,
and there will be different winners for each rating (this somehow bothers me personally).
P.S. I hope all these "revisions" and rule adjustments apply only to the first stage. For the rest, it will already be a kind of tournament constitution, violation of which will be strictly suppressed. Of course, problems will still "emerge" along the way, but they will be new ones, i.e., nothing that has already been resolved will be changed; instead, something new will be added...
After talking with Kyle, it was decided to allow resubmission of saves so that everyone would be on equal footing. And also a strong request: when sending saves, please indicate in the subject line the name of the save (for example: [email protected]), so that the anti-spam bot does not accidentally delete your email.
I think you will understand these "adjustments".
Sincerely, K0Lb@zzeR.
