Velocity-calculating point system
Hey guys, here's a pretty simple idea I came up with today:
We should implement a new option for earning points (which could be enabled/disabled like sumo in the gamerules tab) which would be based on the velocity of the two players.
Let me explain:
Both players are assigned a point/frame value which is based on their velocity related to the other player's position. If Player A is moving towards Player B, he is getting points. If Player B is moving away from Player A, he's losing points. Being stationary shouldn't net any points.
This would enable mods like Wushu to actually reward players for trying to be sportsman-like. The pace at which points are lost or gained should be configurable as well ([velocity towards other player]*x, where x could be set by the room operator).
What do you guys think?

That is a nice addition indeed!

Obviously it'd be a game rule you'd check.
You can also make the DMT in a duel to like... 15. It's entirely your fault for not checking game rules.
Not that this idea has my support neccesarily.
Need help?

What part of the concept put a bad impression on you?

Yeah, that's mentioned in the first post, too. Purely optional.
