Thoughts on points
From Armagetron
The discussion of the points system for Fortress is apparently pretty open, though the underlying mechanisms are surprisingly complex. Forum discussion on this point during may 2007 is a little too shallow, since there are too many factors. The objective of this page is
- to determine what the factors are
- prioritise these factors
- suggest a points scoring system which works
At this point, I suspect there might be several alternative systems that could co-exist, but only a few (in the same way there are so many alternatives to defining servers with rubber, acceleration, turning etc etc and yet there are only a few 'ideal' forms, one of which is fortress, another capture the flag.
