Re: FFR Suggestions

Quick note on Ranks, if you know of a scalable ranking system that supports multiple people at once, tell me about it. We can't get rid of ranks, but we can also rebuild them with a new system if enough people want.

this could also help with having multiple types of games where ranks are used.

Totally random, but is there anyone with the appropriate power that intends to eventually go in and fix the sync'ing on songs? I know that's what the offset feature is for, but it's a little tedious sometimes... :S

Re: FFR Suggestions

Make 3-4 player games unrated until a new system is implemented, should fix that logistics problem :P, now how about the other dozen?

I'm not exactly sure how exp is gained n stuff but if you consider a 4 person game -- 2nd place wins half the exp they would normally win and 3rd place loses half the exp they would normally lose

Just a suggestion... 8 person game would be 1/4 intervals instead of 1/2 and so on.

Re: FFR Suggestions

1/n(c1 +/- c2 +/- c3....ck)

Where n is the number of players, c1, c2, c3, etc are the points changes:
9 or more: 0
8: 20
7: 30
6: 40
5: 50
4: 60
3: 70
2: 80
1: 90
0: 100
-1: 110
-2: 120
-3: 130
-4: 140
-5: 150
-6: 160
-7: 170
-8: 180
-9 or less: 0

Re: FFR Suggestions

If more then 2 players is added, it will result in a unranked game till I can figure out the ranking system. Synth was the one that put it all together.

It seems like the MP ranking system is pretty well explained here. It tells about how MP experience is gained, lost, calculated, how much to the next level, etc.

If you wanted to keep the same ranking system, it could just be a more complex demonstration of this...as an example:
4 people are in a game room, a level 12, a 7, a 13, and an 15 and they all play the song, Cash Cow. Lets say the 15 AAA'd, the 12 got 2 goods, and 13 got 5 goods, and the 7 got 14 goods. This would mean the scorers would go as follows: 7, 13, 12, 15

Then loss / win factors could be calculated between the 4th and 3rd, 3rd and 2nd, and 2nd and 1st place:
4th place loses 50*.6 = 30 exp
3rd place gains 30 exp; then loses 110*.95 = 104.5 exp (-74.5 total)
2nd place gains 104.5 exp; then loses 80*.9 = 72 exp (+32.5 total)
1st place gains 72 exp

The same thing can be done with any amount of players, just a bit more math coding.

Re: FFR Suggestions

The only problem I see with the automatic selection of the opponents song is if you don't have the song. Say your opponent clicks Planet Karma and you don't have enough credits, what would happen?

That would be coded in to not happen, don't worry. (It's rather easy to do.)

That's why it should be a button, so you get a chance to say "I doesn't has" before it tries to load a song you don't have.

Goes hand in hand with the 'unpick' button

Sort of like SMO has? I've played SMO like, twice but I was watching Frankie the other day and it was pretty much "here's my pick, [indicator, your opponent doesn't have this], okay, new song" and you didn't have to reload or anything, it just let you deselect it.
