You are correct in an ideal raid. But then you need to account for those who log off or run away without dying.

Consider this situation using both point methods:

1. Gang A and Gang B both start out with 0 points.
2. Gang A earns 100 points, Gang B is slacking and earns nothing.
   • Old method:
     - Gang A has 100 points
     - Gang B remains at 0 (as far as I remember, points didn't go in the negative)
   • New method:
     - Gang A has 100 points
     - Gang B remains at 0
3. Later that night, Gang B earns 100 points, Gang A doesn't earn anything.
   • Old method:
     - Gang A loses 100 points, and is now at 0.
     - Gang B has 100 points
   • New method:
     - Gang A keeps its 100 points
     - Gang B now has 100 points
4. Final Score:
   • Old method (Gang B wins):
     - Gang A - 0, Gang B - 100
   • New method (Tie):
     - Gang A - 100, Gang B - 100

So let's think about this for a minute...how the **** is that fair? Both gangs earned a total of 100 points, and yet Gang A loses? With the new method it was a tie (how it should have been).

If points did go in the negative, then you're right, nothing changed. But players would much rather see 100 and 100 over 0 and 0 -- everyone wants recognition for the points they earn and 0 is hardly doing justice to both gangs' activity. A lot of players didn't like the old method, and that's why they suggested it should be changed.

In the old method:
If Gang B Gains a 100 Points, Gang A would NOT necessarily lose all its points, unless Gang B gained its 100 points from KILLING Gang A.
Only way Gang A suffers a loss, is if it LOSES a raid.

In the new method, Gang A still suffers a loss, if it loses a raid.

Therefore, only thing that's changed is people don't notice or "feel" that loss because the points don't drop.

In any event, this method is more like training wheels or newbie protection, I guess. Seeing as if Gang B beats Gang A for a 100 points, they'd simply be tied. In other words, Gang A suffers nothing for losing (the hell?).

If that's the change they wanted (not sure why), they got it. Then again, you still lose your 0 point lead, just don't fall a 100 points behind in the process (lol).

Did you even read my post?

Everyone in this thread is wrong.

What needs to happen is this: 1 Gang kills everyone

Blam

HAHAHAHAHA, they wish. Running and eating cookies doesn't make you better. In fact most of them run even when they outnumber someone.
