Improving Round Diversity

thebrontosaurusover 11 years ago

Alright so the 'banning guns' thread gave me an idea and I'd like to make a separate thread outlinining my thoughts and see if it's something the competitive community would be interested in pursuing.

Current System

  • A setup can only be comped once every 3 rounds
  • Variants are at mod discretion on a case-by-case basis

Proposed Changes

  • A setup can only be comped once every 5 rounds
  • Established variants kept on a running list (that will be public); new variants looked at by mods on a case-by-case basis

Goals

  • Improve diversity: This would mean that you'd only see certain setups at minimum every 50 days or 2 months or so (assuming ~10 day rounds). At minimum, you would see 30 different setups before seeing the same one comped again, allowing for a greater variety of setups to get exposure and giving people an opportunity to run on setups they like that may be less popular.
  • Tighten up what constitutes as a variant: makes things more objective and less on what the current admin/mod team thinks. This way there won't be as much debate over what is a variant or not the day of the round, it'll be pre-established and known, so people will know what they can and cannot comp

Please discuss. I'd also like to hear what the current mods think of this since they're the ones who will be enforcing this.

what the hell
Do you not remember? I think it was the last Pope who said that because Saudi Arabia segregates genders, "many young men experiment with homosexuality to fulfill their needs".

Jackhammer casually asking Rondar to sleep with him; boosting the Western stereotypes that gender segregation leads to increased homosexual deviance.
