Except a win only gets you 18 SCs worth of points in PPSC. Doesn't matter how many you win with. This is to discourage setting up for a maximum crushing win and just win it when you can.

Draugnar is correct.

Then why do people do it anyway?

Some probably because they don't know. Others (like my recent 19 SC win) because they want to make certain they didn't overlook something and either end up still at 17 and stalemated or worse.

Others, like smiley, do it because they are greedy bastards...
And damn, I didn't know that you would only get 18 SCs (a little more than half of the available points). Maybe that's why I like WTA. Except I don't win...

26 SC cap here was taken purely out of spite for my opponent. I wanted HIM to get as little of the pot as possible.

@Draugnar -- The math doesn't work that way on jayen's game.

20/31 or 18/31 I think the CD's SC dont count.

its 20/31!!! Did the math.

Also, the 3 centers in Civil Disorder don't count. So it would be:
18/29 x 210 = 130.3448275862069
10/29 x 210 = 72.41379310344828, and
1/29 x 210 = 7.241379310344828.

Those numbers are close but not quite right because rounding puts them at 130/72/7, not 131/73/8.

It seems like the single center should be worth at least 7.5 so it would round up to 8. But then wouldn't 10 centers be worth 75, not 73?

It gets funky in PPSC when folks are CD and the winner wins with more than 18. But it is PPSC so I'm not too worried about it.

Gold star!!

20/31 * 210 = 135.4838709677419, not 131.

Yeah, I was looking at that and it is funky a bit, even when computed with 31 SCs (it's 31 total owned, alderian, not 29). Rounding occurs in odd places so a variance of 3 to 5 is nothing, but it did give him the full 20 SC credit (or 19.33 SCs worth at least).

Its closer when you do count the 2 SC he gains to 20.

20/31 * 210 = 135.4838709677419
10/31 * 210 = 67.74193548387097
1/31 * 210 = 6.774193548387097

I think because the 20 SC guy is rounded down the guy with one SC gets the extra rounded point.

31 total owned, but 29 if it doesn't count the extra two the winner had. I don't see how you get to 8 when you divide 210 by 31.

Oh I got them mixed up thought he was saying that he got 135 but thought it should of been 131. I read that wrong. Alderian is right.

How do you round down from 135.48 to 131? The 20 losses 4 , the 10 gains 6 and the 1 gains 1?

I'm not sure about right since it is still off a bit. Unless webdip just rounds everything up so 7.000000001 becomes 8 and such.

No I thought he got 135/68/8. I dont know what I was reading. I made a mistake. He actually got 131/73/8 like the way you posted. Divide by 29.

yea that is true it adds up to 212

Last I checked, the equation counted all owned and active SCs, potentially stealing extra points. And if you take the 131 and divide by 18, you get 7.27 per SC210/24 is 7.24 which multiplies to 130.3 and rounds up to 131 (it's not a true rounding but a ceiling function). This also computes correctly for the other two with the ceiling function. So it is Points / (Total Owned SCs - Extras from the win) to get a non-rounded PPSC. Then multiple by number of SCs, limiting the winner to 18 and ceiling function the result.

The numbers work above, but accisentally dropped a couple characters there. You'll figure it out.

210/29 = 7.24 per SC
7.24*18 = 130.32 ceilinged to 131
7.24*10 = 72.4 ceilinged to 73
7.24*1 = 7.24 ceilinged to 8

210/29 = 7.24 per SC
7.24*18 = 130.32 ceilinged to 131
7.24*10 = 72.4 ceilinged to 73
7.24*1 = 7.24 ceilinged to 8

error 500 strikes again.
