Re: Scoring For Your Opponents

I think that scoring for your opponent is a good strategy to get higher in the leaderboard, but the whole purpose of having the loosing team score is this:

If an great alliance, lets say (1114,1503, 67), against 3 bots that dont score
score is: 80:7
you dont get awarded a good RP because it was oviously not a challenge.

ok .. this time you score some for the other team.
the score is 80:55
do you deserve the better ranking for winning against really bad teams?

NO! .. the purpose of using the loosing teams score, is to rank alliances higher if they beat a EVENLY matched team in a match, so your spoofing RP to make it seem like every match you played was a HARD game. If you can barely beat an great alliance, you deserve RP more then being the amazing alliance and beating a lower calliber team and spoofing RP.

PS: i dont have anything against 1114, 1503, or 67, i just used them as an example since they won GLR, and they are a great alliance! congrats to them at that!
thats my two $0.02 -kevin
