Team assassin game negative points?

[codanostra]

Me and WM just had a glorious victory over Badorties and Jason. It was quite marvelous, however it would appear i received -34 points for this victory.

It may be because Jason was my enemy, however i believe that in team games that doesn't really matter does it?

team assassin games seem problematic to begin with. I wouldn't be opposed to eliminating the option altogether. It's not as if the object of a 2v2 assassin game is any different than a 2v2 standard game - kill your opponents.

i talked to evan about this and he says it is an issue with the algorithms we use to determine point gain/loss. apparently this is correct by design. if this is so something is seriously wrong with our system. at no point should i be losing points for winning, regardless of the point difference between me and the loser.

yeah team assassin is uh... pretty retarded. unless its like 12 person doubles. I would have no problems killing the option until people wanted it and we can figure out the point issue.

i liked it. it added sort of a strategy thats not their in normal team games.

Yes it is. Since you only need to kill 1 of the opponents it is different. I say keep it.

And a question. Why is it hard to calculate points. We won. just calculate the points as if it were a standard 2v2 or 2v2v2 game. Or am I missing something.

Here might also be the issue

Since I did not actually kill my target, that screwed up the game. I want my 109 points back lol
