    Does that mean Eds and I will play 2nd 11 OD cricket?

    Personally like it. Still gives guys that have been around for a long time a chance to still be somewhat decent at it, but will still generally favour the most active people.

    Highly doubt it.

    I like the idea of this change. Activity should be a big thing, but not the only thing.

    It's only OD cricket.

    Looks like it would work well, encourages people to be active butat the same time give something to people who have been inactive for some time who come back to the forums (which there seems to be a few of late).

    Edit: I'd also possibly consider a post per day bonus to stats as well, to help aid newer people which come join.

    Yeah, read through the posts in this and I think its fair enough. Doesn't it make more sense to link abilities to total post count etc, like the FC games currently do?

    I'm definitely all for not making blokes who signed up two months ago guns.

    Base it on total post counts.

    I think this will be a good idea, and will also improve the interest in the One day competition, especially from the members who have been here a long time, and see the OD comp as a prank competition.

    With the introduction of the Horrigan Plate running alongside the HC itself, more people will get a chance to play as well.

    FC simming averages are based on (depending on how much experience a player has):

    0-33% previous performances
    33-50% player role
    12.5-25% activity
    12.5-25% SWPC

    OD simming averages are currently based on:

    50% player role
    50% activity

    And I'm proposing that OD simming averages instead be based on:

    50% player role
    35% activity
    15% SWPC



    .. so season-weighted post count (SWPC) isn't a new measure; it's part of how FC simming averages are worked out at the moment anyway. OD cricket would still have a stronger weighting on activity than SWPC in comparison to FC cricket but the latter would still play some sort of role.

    That makes sense, good decision on the whole. Agree with the logic behind that post although it nerfs me a bit.

    Read that there'll be some 2nd team OD simming happening, so thats great as long as you have the time for it.

    How does experience affect the above, may i ask? is that just to do with how long they've been on the sim.

    And regarding the comment at the end there...thinking about getting rid of swpc?

    It effects how much "past performance" you have, so to speak. Your activity gives you a whole heap of wickets at a certain average (depending on your activity level and player role) and so does your SWPC; your actual bowling (in standardised form - like what the rankings used) is added onto that. So if you've only taken the one wicket ever then the non-performance based factors are going to have a bigger weighting on your ability than if you've taken 500. Same theory for batting. Past performances are capped at 33% though - so if for example you've taken 200 standardised wickets @ 30, and the activity and SWPC are giving you 100 wickets each @ different amounts, then for the purposes of your simming average your past performance will be changed into 100 standardised wickets @ 30 as to not take up more than its share.

    So essentially, the more you get into the sim in terms of time, the slower your development should become (in terms of your development is more set with the past performances compared to a newbie) ? or am I completely off track

  17. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah kinda.

    When you are no longer n00b0wned on the rankings, your previous performances will count for exactly 33% of your ability.

    Makes sense.

    And what causes the % effect player role has on simming averages to change?

  19. Cribbage RG Cribb

    The amount your previous performances count for.

    If your previous performance count for 0% because you haven't played any games, the other factors will have to count for more.

    The system basically gives you a whole heap of runs, wickets, innings and runs conceded. The amount given to you by your activity and SWPC is the same regardless but the total will be different based on your past performances factor, changing the percentage.
