I hope you have allocated enough space for the 478,296,900 points Gernobono will have in the end.

The game seems really unbalanced with the current formula. It is difficult to imagine anyone getting a MK.

Odd Sumo does it way better.

I understand the concept of not wanting a bunch of multiples and rebuys but if this is my first account is there a reason to lock out on day 3?

Yeah... I think I need to adjust the way points are calculated. At the moment those people raking in points like that are typically staking it all on one rikishi, so it will only take one bad result to end their run.

Thanks. Looks interesting. I had no idea this existed, but it wouldn't be correct to simply do what this does. I can get some ideas though. One thing I already had in mind is that the point multipler needs to be based on rank, performance and head to head results. E.g. someone who dominates a particular opponent should not have a very high multiplier, but their opponent will.

Custom multipliers are now in place for Day 7, the previous days will show the old x2 multiplier, but from now on, matches will have their multipliers calculated based on basho performance, rank, and head to head results.

This was the day most Chaingang players got eliminated, and he is playing this game like Chaingang.

That's the risk of betting it all on one guy all the time. I think 9 people got wiped out yesterday, which isn't surprising since it was the day of most upsets. I've been kind and put all those players on 0 back to 100 since this is open beta. And now the triple/double multiplier is basically gone, so it's much harder to ramp up to those very high point numbers.

What happens when a rikishi is kyujo?

It's a good question. As of now nothing, but that is not a good solution. I will add a fix, after today, that returns any points on a fusen result. It's not straightforward to automate anything to prevent staking ahead of time.

 

I expect a few players added stakes on Nishikifuji as a result.

Added a fix for matches which result in fusen - these are effectively ignored by the point calculator. You can still stake those matches, but your points will simply be returned, no loss, no gain, so better to stake them elsewhere.

The finish line is in sight! Keep staking to secure your kachikoshi (8 days or more of point gains).

If you can, I'd love your feedback about the game here - max 2-3 minutes to complete.

so it would be theoretically possible to win without a kachikoshi?

Theorectically, but unlikely I think. I haven't thought of a way around that yet.

Is it an issue? It's a game about sumo, not sumo. I'm not sure if it matters.

All done for 2023 - mostly successful once the formula was tweaked I think. There is a bug in the overall performance table you will see in your profile page now, which is due to how the scoring was adjusted during the basho. I'll see if I can fix it, but it's a long shot... and basically its open beta, so this data is a mess anyway.

Please if you played, give me some brief feedback here i'd really appreciate it.

Funny game, was very exciting to play.
