Haha well it's actually not a fair rule. For the previous rule, whichever is online more wins. For this rule, if you think about it, it seems fair, because girls are nearer to the winning count and guys are two times further.

BUT if two girls = 1 boy,

As long as one guy is around, they will not lose. Because as long as they are fast, no matter how many girls are online, they will keep the pace because in the Internet, only one posts at a time. At most two. So no matter how fast the girls are, they will still not be able to increase the count if any guy is there. On the other hand, if TWO GUYS are online at the same time, it will be terrible news. This is not like math where we play with numbers. :V

Even so, it's a fun rule!!!! Girls will still win because we're awesome!!!!!

The REVAMPED isn't fair.

(In POV of a girl)

1 boy, 1 girl. -1

1 boy, 2 girl. +0

Contrary, to that thought...

2 boys, 1 girl. -3

Yes but the girls have to reach 450 and the boys have to reach 0. and it starts at 300 so the girls have a smaller distance to win. :)

XD You didnt get it when its so clear? XDDDDDDDDD

I mean girls are at the losing end! But I wanna make that a point BECAUSE, if we WIN, it would be because we're AWESOME!!! <3 Not because we have an advantage. :V

(Rather the guys have a HUGE advantage - if you were to calculate using probability and game theory) :V

GIRLS RULE!

I believe that the guys will win for a change <_< but I am not doubting the girls spirts :lol:

XD Well, if the guys win, then good for them! :V

If the girls win, AWESOME! :V

Oh so you would rather want the girls to win again huh? Well it personally dosen't matter to me but it would be a nice change if the guys won. :lol:

Of course I want the girls to win. If I want the guys to win, then what's the point of the game? :V Then I shouldn't have participated in the first place XD

Just that, whoever wins wouldn't affect me, and what I meant in my above comment was, IF the girls win, then I would be glad. Nothing to do with wanting the girls to win AGAIN. :V

True. So what should we do on this topic? I don't want to end it so do you want to start another round?

I heard from Cindy-Chen that KKLT had some calculations or whatever; looks like I found it.

Alright, let me justify the 2 down, 1 up rule I came up with.

Remember, that girls far outnumber boys when it comes to DCW. In addition, girls tend to be spread out more throughout timezones. This is why guys having double firepower is not that overpowering.

There are very few cases where guys and girls will alternate posting in turn (when I'm in is one example, but I rarely play). Often, I find, girls post faster and more rapidly then guys, which also evens this tide up.

While I'm online and playing the games, I note at least one girl and one anonymous user at all times. The anonymous user is almost always a girl, and I quickly find myself at a disadvantage despite the fact I can go down two.

But just in case the rule would become too overpowering, I did add that girls had to go half the distance guys do. This also helps even up the sides.

So, this is math, but with more included factors than one would consider. If we consider the factors: girls outnumber boys, girls post faster, frequently, and more often then guys, and girls have half the distance necessary to win, I feel this is a pretty even game.

Is this enough of a rant?
