Okay folks after some discussion of problems with scoring the Battle Stat Ranks, heres a proposal:



Problem- younger players can jump ranks faster than older players so simply counting the difference between starting and endings ranks is unfair to older players. Also older players have more access to expensive energy boosting items, giving them an advantage of training more energy.

Proposed solution- split the 14 competitors in the battle Stat Rank area into two groups of 7 based on age/starting Stat to even the playing field.

Solution pros: fairer, more players win

Solution cons: prizes reduced by 20m each due to having more groups

Faction leaders will vote on proposed change- please do so ASAP by either posting here or PMing me



Votes for Yes- 5

Votes for No- 3

Kingstown [1957679]

I'm fine with any decision. As long as the competitors have some fun and it's not getting too complicated for everyone involved go for it. :)
DREADED [1889980]

I vote no change.

Reasoning: The rules were known at the start of the competition and it would have been obvious to anyone that the lower the starting rank the greater the opportunity to increase in rank. Some people may have made their nominations on this basis, not to mention calculated training plans. To change part way through is unfair to those people. And yes, that includes Supernova.

There are also several entrants with membership to high ranked factions that have access to specials far in excess of others (10% gym gains for example). These players are also likely backed by likely better resourced and more knowledgable players and with access to better 10* companies that can also aid them.

Supernova took account of all of the above and decided to give it a crack in the spirit of good competition and with the aim to truly improve players who don't have the connections to be approved into a monster faction. An effort to "level the playing field" when halfway through the competition does in fact confer yet greater advantage to entrants from factions who already have quite a lot going for them.


Swaggy [2095726]

Agreed. We all knew what we were getting to at the beginning (or at least should have). Each side, older and younger, have their unique advantages. I think those should be considered enough for leveling the playing field.
Actuariolam [1967959]

Ok so currently we have 5 votes yes and 3 no, meaning its either in favor of the yess or a deadlock.

To placate each side, here is my follow up proposal:

Split the Battle Rank Stat group of 14 into 2 sets of 7 based on those starting with stats below or above 60,000

Prizes will be awarded in full (original amounts) to each group separately, meaning that there will be equal 1st-7th place prizes for each group

1st-3rd place money amounts remain unchanged

4th-5th place prizes increased to 40 Xanax

6th-7th place prizes will be 20 Xanax



With this system, every single participant wins, and the rank numbers split up at the 60,000 mark also splits up players in the same faction so the faction itself has twice the chances of placing higher.

Essentially now everyone has twice the chance at placing higher and winning more and also everyone is guaranteed a prize.



The only only losing out is me by doubling the amount Im paying out in prizes (which Im happy to do if it makes everyone feel like this is a fairer option)



Opinions?
MissMadness [1577530]

Hmm.. Well, that's incredibly generous of you. My opinion is that if everyone wins, that sort of takes away the competition factor, fair or not.

But! 5 votes against 3. So be it.


Actuariolam [1967959]

I promise my next new player competition will be more rigorous... Id certainly love help planning for it if youre interested- I run these every few months or so
