W3C - Award paid - check the influence on your score

I agree Laguna, the whole process in unclear and unexplained. I am still waiting on a response from the GM on why I've lost 2000 points for getting a second place prize with my countries, and why my winning CEO is in the 'basement' even although its reduced score should still make it 10th.

In addition, my 2nd LU CEO, which didn't win anything, has also had a huge penalty applied to it, and sits at a score of 2

well teddy, at least the thing with the second CEO I can tell you: The Score is reduced from every entity you got. So if you win first prize on LU Empire, that empire(and its slaves) gets 1000 decrease in score, as well as any other Empire(and their slaves) you may have on other worlds as well as all the CEOs you own. So its increasingly harder to get any awards while the score is reduced

So because my country came SECOND!, my 2 CEO's loose 1000 points each? and because my CEO came first, my other CEO and my country loose another 1000 points?

Thats just silly. SO Basically the actual function the game delivers is that a winner is completely out of the scoring zone for many real life months.

Seems exactly the same as the old system to me, except that its now completely unclear what my actual scores are.

My Winning CEO on LU is still in the 'dungeon' as well.

Then don't get first place.

That is all.

ok, I have now had it explained.

ANY award you receive for ANY Country or CEO on ANY world, will reduce ALL of your countries or CEO's scores on ALL worlds, right across the game.

I won 1 first place 1000
3 2nd-3rd places 300x3

Hence all my countries and all my CEO's on ALL worlds had their score reduced by 1900 points.

I now understand how the new process works, other than the basement still being active.

Thanks to the GM for explaining

Teddy

3 new posts on this forum when I logged in today.

All 3 saying about how players feel ripped off.

I wonder if W3C even read the forums any more.

Ok, just saw that my two CEOs on KB are in Basement even though my Awards I won have been all from the new Rules so they should be on Top 10&11 from what their score is.

hellooo GMs...someone of you still reading this?

Andy, if you put a post up asking for Feedback you should read it once in a while, my CEOs are still in Basement even though they should be score-wise at about No 10

Mine are as well.

It would appear that WC3 have an exercise to do involving removing all the old winners from the dungeon, with the correct time apportioned score penalties, as well as correcting this months winners.

I expect that this will be fairly complex, but if they don't sort it out before the next award date, then the awards will be wrong.

Andy, just to Keep you up to date...my CEOs are still not correclty Ranked...

we will check the rankings of CEOs ASAP.
If it nedds fixing, it will be done before the end of the month.

The old award system used to place you at the bottom of the best presidents list for the time your country was in the hall of fame.

The system is discontinued and does not place new winners at the bottom of the list but rather reduces their score.

The old system will however run for several more months for the presidents who won awards according to that system.

Someone who received the first place award in the months before the new system was implemented, will be able to participate in the new system six months after the last win.

There was a problem with CEOs who entered the hall of fame in the last month.
This is a remaining result from the old awards system that should have been eliminated.

The problem is now solved and the score will be restored within several hours.

This change in the awards system was very complex to implement because the old system could not be removed entirely but rather be allowed to run its course for several more months.

we think that the new system is more fair, will allow more players to win awards by reducing the score of recent winners and has increased the total number of awarded gold coins.

First award winners will have a lower score, for an extended period to prevent them from winning all the time and allow others to compete for high awards.

There are now very good reasons to compete and win.

The old system prevented first award winner from winning for 6 months.

In the new system th

Is there, a problem with landing units returning to base after a war over seas? Mine seem to be stuck. Same with some land forces. If you could look into it please.

Ok Andy, I can confirm my CEOs are now correctly ranked, thank you for correcting that.

But I still got 2 Questions:

1: Will the Score reduction stay at 1.: 1000 and the other awards 300?
Just wondering because as it was last month it is better to try and stay below 1. so to win more of the 300 awards then trying to get to 1. because you can receive more GCs from Awards that way.

2: Is it planed to keep the CEO Awards as they are right now?
I know its easier to compete for CEO Awards, but as you receive less GCs for the same Score reduction it makes it harder to compete Empire-wise. So in my opinion it would be better if you can also refuse 1. CEO award or if the Score Reduction would be related to the GC-Winning, like
10 GCs won - 100 Score Reduction
30 GCs won - 300 Score Reduction

It is not easier to compete for CEO awards on LU. I do strongly agree with linking score reduction directly with gold coins earned.

We think that the current score reduction numbers are too low.
We really need to allow more players to win the first awards and also the second group of awards.

the score reductions will be higher and recovery slower.

The number of gold coins will be similar to the previous month but as more countries and enterprises will have a reduced score, there will be more space for others to take a shot at the top.

We will not make it more complex than it is now and will not make other changes.
There are fewer CEOs than presidents which makes it easier to reach the top group.
Score reductions will be the same as for countries (empires). Gold coin awards will remain lower for CEOs than they are for presidents, as mentioned before these are easier to win.

Exact numbers will be published in the game news next week.
