W3C - Why is the score increasing fast

Ever since we have introduced the award penalties and the possibility to win many awards in a single month, the score penalty reduced the score of some countries into negative values.

To prevent negative scores that were shown as a zero score that did not improve in time because of the large negative value, we have increased the score of all countries by the introduction of a base score that was added to all countries.

The base score was increased this week by 2000 points and we think that after this change, the problem of negative scores will be solved.

The score however, changes in a delayed process to prevent sudden jumps and manipulations, especially in the last days of each month, before the awards are distributed.

This is why the score did not jump by 2000 points. It is increasing fast, but at a slowing pace, and will settle at the new level within a couple of days.

The next update, June 18 or June 25, wil

Maybe its just me, but it would have made a lot more sense to adjust the penalties than the whole thing. Well, what's done is done.

Does accepting an award always affect the score, regardless of the size of the award? I might be wrong, but I vaguely remember there being a cutoff where an award of 30 or less gold coins didn't affect the score?

Is there any such cutoff for countries and/or enterprises?

Yet again it would seem changes were introduced without any testing or forethought into the consequences of the change.

Perhaps SC should run a test server where players can play a free country and test out any changes to show problems before they are introduced into the main game.

All awards influence the score.

None of us expected penalties to go in the 5000.
It means that some have won several # 1 awards in more than one world in a single month.

Why has my penalty been at 1600 since ever?

Smiles every time I see Laguna. I wanna know why I went from rank 17 to 35. I was aiming for #1!!!! :P


Oh...... I forgot I'm buying weapons so I can kill everyone. Oopsy! :P

Yeah, I always make them smile when I come! Booyah!

I kid. I kid because I love.

Besides magnifying the score, they also changed the weight of some parameters. Must noticeably, the score per game level went down from 200 to 160, I think. So, this could account partially for the change in ranks.

If I have not sold or transfered population in over a real year, why are most of my countries being penalized for it (I have bought alot though)?

Laguna makes me wanna kill

OMG I looooooooooooooooooove Laguna!!!!

Just as much as you love shoes?

I just might love him that much......and you KNOW that is like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay much!!!!

Ew

speaking of shoes, i just bought another pair. i's gots a problem. ha ha ha ha BUT, I did give like 10 pairs to Goodwill!!!! So that most certainly can validate it, right????

I hope you GMs figure this stuff out. I log on, I've lost a few hundred points and I can't understand why cause most stuff is improving. I'll play your game but quit changing the damn rules mid stream.

Shoes are ugly. I ban all sales of shoes from my country

Hahahaha! You guys...

But returning to topic.

I took a good look at the score page and when I noticed that my base score was 4 000 my bull-o-meter went off. That was when I summed up all the numbers and noticed that score page had nothing to do with my score.

According to the page, my score should be 3 727,37, while it is 5 596.

Can we have a score page with actual and current content? If not, I'm better off without a bogus score page.

Indeed! According to the score page my score is supposed to be 4,300.5 but my score is 6,227.

I see... The base score is just a constant that is added to all countries. And here I was, hopping that it was the score expunged from the detailed factors. This is why the scores don't match. I was expecting too much.

Still, why is my penalty stuck at 1 600? Isn't this factor supposed to wane over time?

Just like the population penalty is stuck at 200...
