Re: Madness you speak

In Response To: Re: Madness you speak (Elan Sleazbagano)

: I do think there are differences to the sides (obviously there are),but I
: also think that it balances itself out. In the end, I don't think that
: being red or being blue on a particular level will give you an advantage
: over the other team.

If there is no advantage, there is no real difference, right? I believe they're unbalanced.

: Theres just too many variables for such experiment (but gl anyways) IMO. Also
: kills don't matter in CTF. One game someone many decide just to defend the
: base, next game (as a different color) maybe they go out and kill al ot
: more. Side really had nothing to with his situation. How will have your
: players act? Will you have a player snipe whens he blue and also sniper
: when hes red and compare? Theres just too many factors that could change
: things.

Some more excellent points. The scope of this project could become too enormous to collect any meaningful data. By limiting it to just Blood Gulch, perhaps we could get enough comparable data to develop some statistical significance. I mean, if we just play five sets of games, what good will that do? None at all. I'm thinking that ideally we'll collect 50 sets (or 100 games) of data. But that's the best case scenario it will probably be more like half of that and then see what we come up with. Perhaps there will be no trend perhaps the trend will be undeniable, that's what I'm attempting to find out. Big waste of time? Maybe. Great excuse to play more Halo? Definitely.

I am already considering the effect roles will play. One thing good about our small little society here is that our roles are pretty much determined. But in each two game set, we will attempt to perform the same tasks. But roles are very subjective. That just throws a big wrench into it... one thing I can assure you is that no one will be sandbagging.

Kills don't matter? I'll end up collecting kill data from every match and I'll wager a fistful of dollars that the winning team (on average) has more kills! I'll agree that they don't count towards the score and often times the biggest killer is on the losing team, but they most definitely matter. Killing is the basis of Halo.

I've provided a link to the gametype we will be using, please check it out. Let me know what you think.
