To be honest, I feel like it's weird that in the scheme of things the middle doesn't matter.  

Take this ludicrous example:
50, 78, 80
50, 52, 80

Game gets a 79, both people get the same points.  

Now you might be thinking, that doesn't matter!  

Or you might be thinking, "how can I fix this?"  
And boy do I have the solution for you.  

(100-(high-low)) /
abs(actual - mid) + 1

This has the benefit, that if you get the score exactly on:
high=low = mid=actual, you get 100 points.  

Really big ranges will give you a smaller score, and the closer your mid is to the actual will give you a bigger score.

If you don't want decimals, just take the floor!

With the current rules, only the closest person gets points. The middle is the most important prediction since it's the only way to get points.

Oh, I misread it.   ::)
Title: Re: MC betting general discussion
Post by: the-pi-guy on Oct 02, 2018, 07:20 PM
RESULTS WILL NOW BE SCORED SO THAT AN OVERALL WINNER CAN BE DETERMINED AT THE END OF THE YEAR. IF YOU HAVE THE CLOSEST PREDICTION, YOU EARN POINTS: SCORE +=100-(high prediction-low prediction)*2. IF THE FINAL MC FALLS OUTSIDE YOUR HIGH AND LOW PREDICTIONS, YOU LOSE POINTS: SCORE -=50.


I kind of put the two things together and thought that if the score was in the range, they get those points, and if it isn't they lose 50.  But that makes sense.  

Not as cool as my scoring, but eh.   8)

Rules update

-25 points for the metacritic score falling outside your range, used to be -50.

+25 points if your middle prediction is within 5 points of the metacritic score.

Closest person/people still get the bonus based off their range.

I have updated the OP with the new rankings.

Not surprised, it looked worse the more they showed of it after the initial awesome reveal of being able to control anyone. We saw more of it and saw more potential problems.

Watch Dogs is a franchise that started great and is going downhill. Oh well, I'm glad its not great, Ubisoft deserves it.
Title: Re: MC betting general discussion
Post by: Legend on Oct 29, 2020, 02:10 AM
Ouch. Watch Dogs Legion was my dream game when it was first revealed. As more and more was shown though, the "play anyone" mechanic felt more and more like smoke and mirrors. Sure you can play as anyone, but it's functionally just a character creator with extra hassle.

As the saying goes, it'll make a great gamepass game!
