DjangoUnbuffed own your puppies

It would lead to a lot more points being "generated" at the lower end of the pvp pool, yes. I would hope that it wouldn't get too far out of hand, as when the lower players converge on the higher players, their score increases decrease, and assuming that the leaders keep playing, they should still stay ahead.

It _would_ mean that if you had a grindy leader, the top score could be huge, and it would mean that that bracket would be, on average, higher than other brackets.

Well, you're suppressing defensive point losses without similarly suppressing offensive point gains, right? Thus, you're essentially boosting high-end scores, which then boosts high-end scores even more because there are more high-point-value targets available. It's like a weaker version of the Kyip Effect.

Emeryt: Oh dear... I bet the big K is not going to like that at all. Be prepared for accusations of poaching players.

HM : Yeah, it would be a lesser version of the kyip effect, which you can obviously tweak a little - allow more points to bleed from the higher player if need be, or have it limit losses to 30 points, max. (Side note: I didn't get to hit kyip. T_T)

I just know that for all of the season one pvps I've ended up shielded at the end... To prevent massive point loss, even though I don't really care that much (so far, will probably change) about the prizes.

Oh wow. 5D lost a few of the forumites that I know are normally on their roster.

Anyone know what happened? Did someone have a tantiechuck?

Heh, yep. That was a bit of a surprise, or... not, noting what ragthor said in The X-Men's thread.

EDIT: Ah, I see Emeryt linked to... that. Right.

I can't honestly say it makes me happy, but it does kind of validate my expectations.

There's a saying that springs to mind about reaping what you sow. But who knows, as DecoyDuck said, it could all be a big ploy, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest lol

I'm just waiting for arognt to come in saying it was all written in the book of patches or whatever they call there sacred scrolls.

It's a bit crazy seeing all these new alliances and some of the top 10 alliances crumbling (and I don't mean the 5somethings, they don't crumble yet).
I thought people in the top alliances would stay there, which obviously was a wrong assumption.
And it's pretty crazy how far these things can swing if just 5 people switch.
Unless you're S.H.I.E.L.D of course, you guys can easily lose 5 people without anyone noticing as long as reckless and Bee are still there

lol edit "as long as Reckless". Seriously it is a team effort if me and reck were not about, bubble, beezer, wyp, nemek, etc would post insane numbers. we just work for each other and don't force people to participate if they have other commitments. I know when I have a period I can't play these guys will work to get me that 250hp.

Don't lie. You people are insane!

I'd hate to think what would happen if I left Django. The apocalypse i'd imagine, or worse like when Justin Timberlake left NSync

They'd probably convince me to leave stealth and then we'd place above 5DV and compete with x-men for the second spot because we would finally be rid of the one dead leg. (Jk I won't be leaving stealth as I put 100 buckos into that baby)

Well, reading that thread gave me a good 15 mins entertainment on a break at work. Cheers Emeryt!

Alliances were worth the add for the drama alone...

TU1: I'm ready with the DjangoRedux alliance when you are ...

S.T.E.A.L.T.H's rise and The X-Men's rise have indeed been interesting.
