some ideas I have to improve player presence and participation

[salesman]

I think Chris and I both worked on an event bot that awarded points instead of coins to everyone who contributed to the event in some way. Some examples:

- In Chance, you'd get a small number of points for each round you survive
- In CTF, you'd get points for capturing the flag, returning the flag, etc
- In KoTH, you'd get points for holding the capture point and per kill
- In TDM, points per kill, bonuses for kill streaks, etc
- In spar tourney, you'd get points for each round you won.

The plan was to get rid of coins entirely and convert existing coins to points (e.g. 1 EC = 100 EP or something).

Now that I think about it some more, I'm pretty sure I was in the process of converting every event to the new system, but then got burned out and quit . I think I got through all of the major events (at least, those that were major at the time). Might be worth seeing if that work is still around (or even still relevant--didn't GS3 come out?).

makes a lot of sense. this would definitely increase event participation. sure you can join a team event and win points by doing nothing if your team happens to win, but by participating and trying to aim for objectives you'll receive more. and if you're on a shitty team but still do good you could probably even in some situations earn more on a losing team compared to a player on the winning team who did nothing. it's well balanced. I like it!

Yes, it's out. As far as I know, nobody is using it.
