Preliminary note: This is not an official Splinterlands proposal but a proposal to launch such a proposal via the DAO with the opportunity for all Hive users to express their opinion beforehand.
Brawl - Count all frays equally
Now a guild can just leave a fray empty and the result against all other guilds in this fray will be 0:0, it even happens in the past that frays was only filled from one guild, so this guild could reach only 0 points in this fray.
Improvement: All frays count for every guild, so if a guild let a fray empty this counts as 3 points for all guilds who filled this fray. A 0:0 would be only in affect anymore when two guilds doesn't fill the same fray (so it is logical that both cannot win any point).
PROs:
- Guilds are encouraged to fill all Frays.
- Each guild member can contribute something to the overall result.
- With more fights per Brawl, it's more exciting to participate
- The pot for every brawl will increase as more player will counts (every player who win or draw at least one battle count, so for example a player who defend an empty fray doesn't count)
CONTRAs:
- Guilds with few members cannot fill all Frays
Further information
As shown in this screenshot, even a level 1 guild already has 15 member positions, so 15 members can join a guild:
On the other hand, a level 1 (and also level 2) arena only offers 13 Frays, so that with a full level 1 guild, 2 members cannot take part in the brawl:
It cannot happen that a guild has a lower membership limit than the Frays that have to be filled in a Brawl, since the arena can never have a higher level than the Guild Hall.
Here is an actual example:
Crowns payout with current and proposed systems. This is without a top 3 bonus, which is going to go away since that proposal passed.
How it works for two guilds that fail to enter the same fray is undefined in terms of wether these missed frays count towards the crown pot or not. The table shows the system if the crown pot stays as now, and what it becomes those draws count towards the crown pot (v2):
Now look where the points went. Top 2 guilds lost 7 and 4 crowns, while everyone else except for the last guild got more (the last one only lost 2 crowns even when failing to fill 9 frays)
The example and table is from
