CS:S Scoring System

[Spade.]

I've been a fan of this idea for awhile. We get a lot of experienced players under 'new' accounts that will join and just destroy with 3-5:1 K/Ds. Which is great - don't want to take away from them scoring. But for regulars it's kind of a pain given it could take hours and multiple sessions to recover pts from just one or two of these players being on the opposing side. I think there's some room here for some more elegant solutions to it, but the poll below speaks to the simplest one.

Thanks for attending my TED talk.

i think the 50 kill requirement for placement that the plugin has is enough imo
if some1 is good at the game they should get more points even if theyre new

oh completely agree on the ' if some1 is good'. I wouldn't propose taking points away from them - just capping points deducted from the kill.

What seems to be missing is that the only way to grow in points past the 20K Points threshold is 2 options:

Option 1) wait until the average point total ramps to levels you don't lose the huge number of points by a new player which happens but slowly and boringly. (might as well stop playing and play something else and come back to play it another time (a few months later)).
Option 2) Selectively play when the game is lopsided (it happens on both sides CT and T) which makes the game utterly boring as well: - When the career CT or T's are online (our beloved regulars) but the other side isn't, games can go 20-0. In my experience, those games kill the night cause either side just leave (I mean what's the point if you just can't win at all because you got 8 of the top 10 shooters and players (not point wise but skill-wise on one side).

That's my 2 cents, in my view, it should be reset and quarterly or bi-yearly or at some defined pace and awards should be given DS for a month or a special tag or whatever and stats be reset for the points, while keeping the overall stats, like seasons basically.
