everyone who is voting is actually going to end up being in the "old guard" when the agreement has been in place a while. It's the people who can't yet vote because they aren't yet rolling who end up penalized.

The root of this scheme: a current roller wants to screw the chances of future rollers to increase their own [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

... except, as I keep repeating, it won't work. Player agreements require consensus, and the staff only enforces them as long as there is consensus.

As soon as people realize they're getting screwed, they're just going to go back to the click fest. If it's just one guy, the GMs might step in, but when it's 5? 10? 20?

If I actually thought this idea had any chance whatsoever, I'd be worried that it would lead to disrupting the existing agreement (which was painful to get established) ... but again it has zero chance.

I don't think it's necessarily true that half the people will be losers in the new system. Who do you think would end up being losers?

This is not complicated math: every goblin I get is a goblin you don't get, and again there are no (more) new goblins entering the system. No matter how you shift the system, there will by definition be losers: everyone who doesn't get the goblin.

The beauty of the current system is that everyone who participates is equally a loser [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Until they win that is.

except I don't see how it could be implemented and operated.

A turd cherry on this turd Sunday of an idea.
