Early Leaving

[oops_ur_dead]

Sometimes after you die, you just don't have the patience to stick around for the game, or you have to go somewhere so you can't.

So I propose a button that lets you leave early, but still get points. It would calculate how many points you get by calculating how many points you get if you were to lose at that exact moment, then halving it.

[Clawtrocity]

You'd only get like 2 points for pushing the button...Right?

I dunno. Seems kind of lackluster, but I guess it'll work.

At the rate of points you would get for a leave like this, would be minimal and or nonexistant. Unless you happened to win through a condition like say the jester.

[Carrein]

Being First Blood should give you a BONUS amount of points.

Being First Blood should give you a BONUS amount of points.

As in, the first one to die? It does.

At the rate of points you would get for a leave like this, would be minimal and or nonexistant. Unless you happened to win through a condition like say the jester.

Actually, it would make sense if the Jester got points immediately since his winning is the only one that isn't dependant on ANYTHING other than dying. Survivor has to stay alive, witch has to kill townies, arson has to kill everybody, and executioner... well honestly he could probably benefit from the ability to leave early and gain points either way but only after he has also died himself as to not just cause people to abuse this and leave immediately after they lynch their target.

But honestly if you are Jester and get yourself killed first round then why should you be punished by being forced to stay til the end of the game to gain your points?

Of course it could be abused but who wouldn't want to stay and play russian roulette? That's half the fun of the game and I get slightly depressed every game I don't get the honor of dying

I saw someone with +135 points at the end, recently. Yeah.

[oops_ur_dead]

Stupid ideas again from the famous oppsurdead thingy.

Nice rank, Plato.

[Sarzael]

I saw someone with +135 points at the end, recently. Yeah.

I saw someone whit +223 points at the end...
It was me
The trick is to use a two guns shot and a minimum of 15 points, if you have good luck

I foresee express point farming by early leaving...

Personally, I don't think it's necessary. If they are ready to sacrifice 5-10 points by leaving early, might as well ready to have no points...

If jesters start to demand winning points early, other roles will begin to demand losing points early. We are dead so we want our points. Better to avoid such slippery slope.

[Curu]

I think it's a decent idea for people who are already dead. Making an option that allows you to get the perfunctory 5 points or whatever for a loss after being dead and quitting would save a lot of people time.

Of course this should ONLY be an option if you are dead, otherwise people would just chain quit to farm points.

Then again, this could lead people to do dumb stuff like try to get themselves killed ASAP so they just point farm. Since game "funness" >>>> points, I'm actually of the opinion that this shouldn't be implemented. Even though there is only a chance that this would hurt the game, it's still taking a chance at ruining games in return for something that is meant to augment the game and give players a reason to stay in the first place.

[Krismighty]

i dont think they should get full points. And obviously the victors arent calculated until the END of the game. So points cannot be determined. I reccommend anyone who leaves after dies gets 5 solid points.

[Nick]

5 points for losing and leaving early is a LOT. Considering that in some games the losing side will only get a measly 4-6 points in the END.

[Computer]

I agree, this is not that great of an idea...
It suggests that the game is only about points, the points are suppose to show how much experience you have playing the game, if you leave early then go you dont get the 6 points in the end.
This will encourage people to join a game, die, (possibly troll to die) hit the button get 2-3 points and join another game... for whatever reason
