I really think losses should give a team 1 point instead of -1 point. Minusing points just discourages people from playing, and also kind of motivates a team to wait for their best to come online. Giving 3 points for wins and 1 point for a loss just straight up encourages games to be played (kinda like how tmm works, you still get a couple coins out of a loss).
And 3 points is just more fun than 1 point (that's why the world cup and a lot of tournaments give 3); would you rather see a leaderboard that's like 3,2,1,1,0 or 15,12,7,4.

I should be able to play tonight.
^ is also why I think 1 point should be given to the losing team. Seriously, who is going to want to play team meeru when they have those 5 on (that ship has no holes, hell it doesn't even have a crack)? It's a guaranteed minus point/15 minute concede (unless you have sufxgosupro--which means you have to start benching people).

Procarbine, we've got a few glaring problems. Everyone agrees, so we should get together and discuss this stuff.
I'd like to give props to my team for sticking through these 4 games. Puppet, Pillow, Alum, ulcajun, Lone_Prodigy too.
Rape is never justified, but we've shown that with the proper support, kind words, and camaraderie, we can actually recover. There were times that I wanted to give up right in the middle of things but we persevered and can now go back to living our lives.

Internet is still down at home, might not be back until monday because my providers are douchebags.
With regard to teams and points: I'm going to try to work out a formula for points gained from a win based on point differential. I'm not going to be on mumble any time soon, so any "glaring issues" ought to just be posted here. I don't have much time at work to look at this stuff while at work, but I'll look when I can.

I think like kag said yesterday: the only way team meeru would ever be considered balanced on any planet is if they play some games without meeru--which I don't see happening with minusing individual points for losses and the current system (theirs just no motivation not to play without him, sure many may say otherwise, but when the time comes I suspect we'll have lots of "i g2g" or "sry cant play"). As we saw yesterday, it kinda forces you to bench players or wait for your best to come online.
I get that the individual minus points were supposed to keep down the people that were the most active, but at the same time--I don't see the good in that. Should the people that play 1 or 2 games really be on the top of the leaderboard, and the guy with -2 points be at the bottom for actually playing 7 games with his team?
Edit: did no one post the very last game? Team kag must not want free points xD.
EDit 2: @pro: people were complaining yesterday about playing the same 5 people over and over again. To me, I felt like with 11 on a team, it would make for some switcheroos and good variety within a team. But like I said above, with the way things have went, people are only encouraged to play with their best 5 (and the fact that no team aside from team kag has had over 7 or 8 players on at one time).

This was Game 4 if anyone actually cares about it. Thought I'd post it regardless of whether or not it is legitimate.

Well I've been hearing rumors of a built-in HoN IHL system--dunno if it's even true though or if it will be hosted by s2 only for the most competitive players. I feel like it's the latter though. It would be freakin' sweet though if the game engine itself took care of all the IHL stats, points, and other stuff.

Hey everybody, internet was fixed today so I'm back. I'll be on mumble this afternoon/tonight to hear your concerns, but for the time being I'm implementing a rework in points.
From the edited OP:
Let's see how this goes for this season, I don't want to implement sweeping changes after people have already started playing games. Closing date for season 1 of GAF IHL is set for September 1st. After this everything is open to change, but until then let's try to adapt to this system and make things work.
