Please stop referring to the book. In the book, Katniss was able to kill someone with one arrow.. On MCSG that's obviously not possible
I'm not trying to argue, you said it was ok to team because there were teams in the books. I just pointed out that you shouldn't compare the books to the actual game, since in the books you can kill anyone with any arrow, and in the game you can't.
lmao kid you think you know whats going on, get out of my internet.
So we can't compare MCSG to the very book it's based upon? You have a point that they aren't completely identical, with how a bow can one-hit kill someone in the book, but not in-game, but that's not what's being related here. What's being related is the hunger game idea itself, not how real life weapons work.
Our game is based off the idea of 24 player games, gather your gear, and fight to the death till one tribute is left alive using any means necessary. That is what the book is representing, and that's where the idea of Survival Games came from. That's why he's saying teaming is alright since it was in the book, for it's one of the few tactics people used in the book to win in this bloody game.
You can compare the game to the book, for that's where it's from, the whole idea of it.
Now for my thoughts on this teaming thing. Seeing that 5 team, from a study that I did a while back (
Thread Here), a 5 team from our sample of games is super uncommon. (It's worth to note that this study was done before the LBU, so the odds now could be different.) However, I personally do not see anything wrong with it. I'm in the same boat that it's difficult to defeat a team of this size, but it's just that group is doing a smart tactic of increasing their odds of winning.
At a baseline, a solo player has a 1/23 chance of winning at a full 24 player game, that's a 4.34% chance of winning. Now, that chance can be increased by the player's skill, and whatever tactics they use throughout the game. Teaming is considerably the best and easiest way of increasing those odds. This 5 team here, increases their odds to 5/19, or a 24%. Now, they still have to be the last man standing, and from their team, they have a baseline of 1/5, 20% of winning within their team, not factoring in their skill and their teammates skill.
I know that's a lot of numbers to look at, but I see it as a simple tactic of increasing your odds of winning. If I want to try to win, I'll team up with someone to increase my chances of survival. If I don't, I'm purposely putting myself at a disadvantage of winning. It's a game of putting the odds in your favor, and I don't have a problem with people improving their odds of success.
