Hi,
Nice to see some early standings / values. I'm not sure I understand how they've been calculated though, to me they seem to differ from the (english) contest details.
1. Satisfaction
The satisfaction level for all three social groups (starting towns only) will be determined by allocating 6 for very happy, 5 for happy, 4 for very satisfied, 3 for satisfied, 2 for unsatisfied and 1 for annoyed. If, i.e. the average for wealthy people in all starting towns is 4.6 and a player achieves 4.6 then (s)he will receive 100 points. For any decimal point above one bonus point will be awarded, for any decimal point below one point will be deducted. Example, average is 4.6, player A has an average of 4.8, (s)he gets 102 points. Player B has an average of 4.2; (s)he gets 96 points.
For, eg, Ugh!, he has:
Rich 1.4 above average
Wealthy 2.0 above average
Poor 1.5 above average
Shouldn't this mean 114, 120 and 115 points (instead of 156, 140 and 115)? It seems the bonus has been multiplied by 4 for rich and by 2 for wealthy, but this isn't mentioned in the details?
2. Social structure
The average of all starting towns and recognized new production towns will be computed and bonus points/deductions are determined based on the average of all saves sbubmitted for the year. Again, 100 points are attached to the average value. For each percent above the average (of all sumitted saves) value for wealthy and rich, the player receives 1(wealthy) or 2(rich) bonus point and, for each value below the average one point will be deducted. Example: Calculated average of all saves 70/20/10. Player A has 75% poor, 18% wealthy (-2) and 7% rich (-3) (S)he will receive 95 points. Player B has 63% poor, 22% wealthy(+2) and 15% rich (+10), (s)he will receive 112 points.
Sorry to Ugh!, but again using him as an example!
Rich: 1.3% above average, should mean he gets +2.6 points, ie 102.6 points? This seems to have been multiplied by 10 (126); ditto for the wealthy.
Not to complain about the system used, but it makes for a very different balance of targets to aim for - much less weight on production for one thing, and more weight on number of rich people than on happiness compared to the original description. Could someone clarify and perhaps update the english contest details?
