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.

i think this idea works on paper, but does anyone actually like the off-rounds where no good setups are comped?
This is where mods come in. They decide whether or not the setups of these "off-rounds" are compable and how well they'll fit into the round. After all, the site needs to evolve and new setups is a must imo.
Honestly, giving the mods final say on this sort of stuff never really worked out too well.

Every 5 rounds, allow NO setups to be comped, and instead give the trophies to the people who can get the most violations without being banned in 10 days. Extra points for vios with longer expiration dates.

A real test of tactical nous, intelligence, and charisma.
You really want to start another GRS streak, don't you?

I propose we add a feature that shows our like counter next to our name to show how many thumbs up we've received.

We should do rounds where we do the setups that got shadowed over by other setups

I actually like this idea, but I don't know how well it will work out. I think the end result will be a vdli round followed by jan followed by a and d (or variant), then frontier justice and then HI. and it will just keep cycling. What I thought worked before (though they were unpopular) were rounds where you couldnt comp a setup that has been comped in the past 10roundz and this happened every 5 or so rounds

This might be an unpopular opinion

But I'd like all the gun setup criteria to be restricted to 3/round as opposed to the regular a&d variant being limited to 3.

I have a better idea. Once every 10 rounds we get a reverse mafia - minesweeper - shot in the dark - gallis hunter - fancy pants round. it'll be fun.

It was tried before and generally came out with poor results.
