Points for Winning: Why this would make games better.

[jlo_xyloto]

When MCSG had long lobbies, people were smart, tactical, games felt important as there was a lot of build up and people wanted to do the best possible, because game time was limited due to donors. It could take me up to an hour to get in a game when it was based on points getting you into a lobby, and made it hard for new players to improve. Now thanks to the short lobbies this problem has been removed on the most part, but games are shorter and less competitive as a result. TO make games feel more important, like a real hunger games, I suggest a "prize" for the top 3 tributes.

This is subjective but I'd propose these amounts.

3rd: 50 points
2nd: 75 points
1st: 150 points

People may argue that people will hide until deathmatch, but they won't get the higher points. This could just be given to the winner, but I think the top 3 would make a lot of people play smarter and more tactically, making for more unpredictable games with a higher standard of play.

No. Just no. People would take this way too seriously. And plus, some noobs would just hide at the edge of the map to get a free 50 points. I disagree.

Yeah, I agree it should be fun, but competition makes for better games, and noobs don't usually last that long anyway, regardless of where they hide, they;d probably be completely unaware of the change, as they are most things.
And the way I see it, that'd make them better players if they had more points, they;d have to protect them, if they stayed being bad, they'd just lose the points after a few games.

Hm, It's not a bad idea, it will encourage people to improve their scores. However, A noob can just stay there just for the 50 points. Hm. Im between if it's good or if it's bad, because as I said a lot of players can literally abuse from this action just for the points. Although, pretty good idea, it's not bad huh'...

You used to get 20 points for winning, which I believe should stay.

And I don't get your entire intro. Why is it relevant, and since when was getting into lobbies based off points?

Ages ago you got kicked out of lobbies for players with higher points...

20 points is nothing it should be more.

No, you didn't. You got kicked by donors/staff, just like now.

And 150 points for winning is ridiculous. 20 is a small little prize, worth winning in my opinion. Keep in mind the points from kills you get too, you can get lots of points from winning.

I don't like the idea of getting points for placing second. Feels like a cheap way to gain points. Perhaps instead we should give out more points for winning? This means more competition to win without the campers for 50 points.

 

[jlo_xyloto]

Yeah I did say you could just give it to the winner.

Yes you did because it happened to me all the time but okay dude!

Not true, a lot of people thought this was the case because the old kick-message was "You were kicked by someone with a higher rank", which just meant ingame rank, as in Tribute/Iron Donor/Mod/etc., but lots of people thought it had to do with points or wins.

What are you talking about? Seriously. What you say makes no sense at all. The kicks have to do with domors and staff, trust me: I played back then.
