Showing how many points can be won on screen

[Darkended Blade]

Concise description:

• Placing on the screen (say near the scoreboard) how many points a player would win if he/she won the game.
  or
• Placing the number of points to be gained for eliminating a player in Terminator games.

Specifics:

• Have the site pre-calculate how many points a player would win at that time if they won the game (it would probably be a script that would differ on who was looking at it as everyone's points gain would be different) - which would refresh in the same way the territories do.
• It could also be possible to show how many points could be lost in this way - but I'm sure people would prefer to see what they can win rather than what they stand to lose!

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• I feel that people would just find it more appealing to be aware of what they stand to gain, rather than waiting till the end to find out.

What do people think?

Sounds extremely difficult to implement. Would be better as a plug-in/add-on if it was possible.

very simple to calculate: [loser(s) points * 20]/winner points

If it's simple to calculate, is it not possible to put it on the screen for everyone?

Is it important? I mean, are you here for the points or for the challenge?

[Darkended Blade]

It's not important (for me anyway), but it would be nice to know anyway. Others may find knowing more beneficial than others right?

There could be confusion since scores are updated in real time. Anyway, good luck with your suggestion.

agreed, also, I see another problem. People have complained that they are targeted because:
a)they are a low rank and high ranks don't want to lose points, and
b)they are a high rank and low ranks either think they are good so want to eliminate them early or low ranks want their points (mostly in Terminator)

This definitely happens, I have done it myself on occasion. While this is just part of the game to some extent, there is no reason to make it worse.
