Event Points - Maxed out rule

[justRelax]

Simple; change the rules to 3 rounds win max. instead of 3 eps win max.

No, this doesn't make the most sense. If we change the rule from event points to rounds, first 3 winner events will not make sense. Then we have events where we have multiple hosts hunting or being hunted which awards 2 points per round (not necessarily that the host is hunting) and oftentimes these events only last 3 rounds, so it will not make sense if we limit amount of rounds when we should be doing points. To make things simple we will keep it as points and will not have to make custom global rules for every 3 winner event and/or events that can award multiple points per round per standard default hosting.

I saw this rule don't apply to Vip events. This also needs to be applied to Vip event cause some nerds constantly win in certain events e.g Race etc..

First of all, VIP events have their own limit which is capping individual users at 150 coins. We award our skillful VIPs but they also have a cap to adhere too, and that is 150 coins.

Ive been hurt by every single interpretation of this rule that the event team found convenient to use during my participations. Just yesterday by Ommadawn's first example, and a few months back by some race event where i won 3 rounds in a row with everyone dying and yet I would not receive the point. Take a guess: did the host try to keep rerounding? Obviously not. He would rather have no winners than give me the fourth point. Because its "unfair"? To who? When has skill become unfair?

I have never supported this rule in general, and yet i do understand why some occasions require it. The generalization to all events (besides race, which is problematic) has always been strange to me, however.

Regarding more to the topic of the post: rerounds are BY DEFINITION bonus rounds, for the simple reason that due to their existence, there are now more rounds than planned.

First of all Bunny, you want to bring history to it. Well prior to there being an official cap on the Event List, there was no cap and it was up to the interpretation of the host and some hosts didn't have this interpretation so it is understandable that people were confused. However, due to it being talked about we decided to put a cap on the amount players are allowed to win. It is fair, because we had times where people were winning events like Last Man Standing 5 rounds in a row, and yes you can attribute this to skill but this would kill the fun of players in the long run, especially at the time since events were not popular, and having this rule helped boost event participation. If the same people keep winning specific events over and over and no one having a chance to win then people will not bother to join. Having a cap at least gives these people a chance to participate.

If you won 3 event points in Race (or 3 rounds in this case) then you capped, you are allowed to participate but you cannot win more rounds. It is up to the host if they want to reround or not, if players are not to enthusiastic to it so it would make sense if they don't. Do not forget that we have Weekly competitions for event points and if we allowed people to bypass the event cap by winning more rounds than this wouldn't be fair to other players who are winning events legitimately and capping. You cannot say that Race is only important to bypass the cap and forget the other events.

Rerounds are not considered bonus rounds for the reason that there is no winner awarded points for the round that was redone. You can say it is by definition but are people winning more points on reround, no they are not and besides if you are capped you are capped.

About Race:

It does not make sense to not host a re-round while having a no-winners round. If someone maxed out and he has an opportunity to win another round because everyone else died, then it would make sense to either allow him or hosting a re-round. If the host does not want to host a re-round (which is fine by me) then the hoster should allow that user to participate after everyone died. How would it benefit you or anyone else by having a no-winners round and not hosting a re-round?

What Legancy said is the perfect solution IMO.
Instead of 3 EPs cap - change it to 3 rounds cap.

I agree with you for everything except that 3 rounds cap doesn't make sense, and the 3 event point cap should remain.

Upon discussion with the team:

Event Point Cap:

The event point cap remains however, if a host for an event does bonus rounds or awards bonus points then that rule is void for that event.

Overall, refer to this post. The issues with Race having NAT issues has been addressed on the Event List. Regarding this thread's main topic if the host awards more points than it is listed on the event, that is considered bonus and is not capped. Overall this should resolve the original purpose of this thread. If a host decides to award 2 points rather than the normal, that is considered bonus and isn't capped.

- (Normal Events) Players may win up to 3 event points per event (exclusions apply to extra rounds).

By extra rounds this doesn't refer to rerounds but it refers to say hosting a 5 rounds event with 6 rounds or awarding 2 points for an event that normally awards 1, etc.
