It might be a good idea to, in the future, not change the setup of the game halfway.
The two top fams get no new players. For balance. Which means that, for their efforts, they have to make up the absence of the nw of an added fam in one week, or be assimilated. They also don’t get the chance to haul in a potential new - active- team mate.
Then Rizzy, fam ranked 5th, gets two entire fams (palproteine and kami). For… balance?
Maybe you just want to keep things interesting by avoiding top 2 got a large random fam and dominate too much. It would however have been useful to mention you could decide to interfere with the initial setup.
(Yeah, there will always be the grumbling malcontent, and now it’s me. )
@ZichtOpZee we don’t have enough players to split fams evenly. What do you suggest we do?
The only other option is to keep it 100% random, which could lead to already small fams not getting a new player.
And yes, Rizzy got 2 fams because each fam only had 1 player. That’s perfectly in line with the end goal of every merge being equal sized fams. There’s no change there from what was announced. What would you suggest as an alternative there, and why?
Feedback is great, but it’s more useful when you suggest an actual recommendation instead of “i don’t like this thing”. Like you did below:
That’s a fair point. I didn’t expect to have this issue, and should have discussed backup plans if the merges weren’t even. I’ll keep this in mind in the future.
That aside though, how would you have handled the merge differently, and why do you feel Rizzy isn’t entitled to being in a 3 person team?
And look at 1 off the people I merged with he is basically dead honestly and the other one is way of to the otherwise of the galaxy and it was a bad idea to pnap with ban now i can’t attack 3 people and if he gets more merged to him then we will never be able to attack.
Is there a way to remove a pnap if the 2 sides agree to make it a regular nap cause soon it’s gonna be time for the mighty revalons to attack
Well im all good for fair play but it seems you get penalized for being the biggest player.
Might need some thinking to stay smaller next round.and not play so active
I know, I’ll think on it some. Maybe, just maybe, I should have before dropping the post. Maybe!
I’ll think on it some. Admittedly, not easy. Maybe go for an average nw.
Cause the aim was balance. If you allocate more than 1, it should then be to get a bottom fam a better chance.
And I know you can’t foresee everything and can’t crack open a can of pre-approved backup plans at the drop of a hat. Not when you’re working on fam forums
This is the tricky bit. We’re also trying to balance balance itself with randomness lol. It’s as absurd as it sounds, but if we force equal outcomes we compromise the purpose of competition. In retrospect, that’s exactly what happened to you and the other fam who didn’t get a player.
After thinking about it some more, I do think we should have just kept it purely random.
