They should still have a ranking, and matchmake against similarly skilled foes, while also putting high level players amongst low level players occasionally (and fairly, so maybe one on each team "smurf" style) in order to both teach the low level players and let the high level player have catharsis. When players are rewarded for being good, they stop playing the game to enjoy it. That's fine, but both pickup games and NBA can exist at once and its not due to the logistics of organizing a large group of skilled basketball players. It's not always about skill. By rewarding players for the number and quality of games they play, (so, no afk-ing or throwing outside of being drunk or whatever) not only can you increase engagement but also you encourage low-level and low-skill players to compete just as much. Especially if you tell them "hey, we'll match you up with people who have similar gameplay habits to you. Give it a bit though because the system needs to be calibrated to your particular spirit" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5233 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────── @user-1086 ... good idea...! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5234 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────── "don't tell a local cached offline LLM what you're looking into, instead tell it to Google or Firefox instead." ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5235 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────── @user-1782 it's not that they lost value in their company due to the lack of sale of their products, but instead because they don't have to pay for marketing if their car looks "cool" enough and they can give them away for a lower blood price ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5236 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────── all encryption algorithms should open up as much configurability to their processing as possible.
