Replacing out

[Cabd]

In my experience, replacements are strongly AI.

If you want to hone your scum game, hit up the replacement thread and chances are you're going to end up with a scum slot.

I believe that the situation has gotten much worse over the history of the site. I would say that about 60-70% of my personal replacements were scum slots recently.

Sadly can echo this.

It's a pandemic and as newer players come in, they see that sandbagging as scum to get to the next town game is okay, it just snowballs down the hill...

I was brainstorming something similar many moons ago:

Your karma score is calculated by a simple formula:

SQRT{(replace ins)+(2*Replace ins newbie games)} - {Replace outs + (2* (Replace outs newbie games))}

High scores good, negative scores bad. Could probably add a time delay dropoff to the penalty function if you cared to.
