Draconio Posted August 28, 2002 I've been wondering about the readings on the Legacy scoreboard. "Frags" is of course obvious, and I'm reasonably sure "Deads" is how many times that player died, but what the heck are "Buchholz" and "Indiv."? Does anyone know? 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted August 30, 2002 BUCHOLZ: a chess scoring system: you earn more points, when you frag a good player. That is, a player that has a lot of frags at the end of the game. This is more balanced than the original frags system, because you can do less frags, but on good players, while in the original system, 'newbies' players could score as much frags between them. Also a good player won't earn a lot of points if he goes for easy targets, so he'll be better to choose a challenging enough target if F is the frag table like player i have fraged player j F[i][j] times. The total frags of a player i is F[i][1]+F[i][2]+ ... + F[i][32] we can call this Total[i] there bucholz of a player i is F[i][1]*Total[1] + F[i][2]*Total[2] + ... + F[i][32]*Total[32] Adjust buchholz for suicide INDIVIDUAL: the players are all compared 1 to 1, when a player wins he earns 3 points, if they draw they each get 1 point, then all the points are added and the winner is the one with the more points. This was suggested by Cristian Romero (romero-c@usa.net). Is is not perfect, but is already interesting enough: think of it more 'individual'. You have to make more frags compared to each other player to earn points. So you will want to go on players that you can make more frags, and forget about the ones which have already too much frags compared to you. Go for the victories, more than the frags 0 Share this post Link to post

Rellik Posted August 31, 2002 No worries Fod, teh G spot doesn't really exist! It's just yet another female conspiracy. The A spot on the other hand, is very real. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
