What’s up with the SERVER?!
February 18th, 2010Okay JamDom-ites,
We have received a swarm of emails, messages and curse words regarding the Server kicking people out in the middle of games allowing them to pick up run rates, penalties, bad name, lose 6-es, etc.
The purpose of this blog is to keep you posted regarding the redevelopment of the game so that we can eliminate the server issues. At this time we feel that it is software issues as opposed to hardware issues and so we are switching the game to more mature server software. This obviously is not free so we’ll need your support (if you care enough about your user experience on JamDom).
Anyway, my question to you all: is the Server causing too many problems that it doesn’t even make sense to play as is anymore? Shall we just take the whole thing down until it is fixed up proper? What about Ranks and Run Rates, etc. etc? The server upgrade won’t happen overnight and we’ll need time and money- so you tell me what we should do until then…
Take JamDom down since the players are saying that JamDom is sick???
I’m a perfectionist so if you leave it up to me, I will take it down until every striking thing is fixed! I didn’t even want to put it public until everything was done but Blacks said “No Man, let the people dem play the game and gwaan build up the user base. ” Who’s right- me or him?
Talk di tings dem people because I am just as frustrated, sorry MORE frustrated than you…
Why am I a FRESHIE?!
December 29th, 2009QUESTION:
Why did my Status change from VETERAN/PROPER to FRESHIE?
ANSWER:
Your STATUS is mainly based on a statistic called FREQUENCY. Your FREQUENCY represents how frequent you play in comparison to the average player. For example, if the players in the 4-Player Cut Throat lounge played an average of 10 games, and so far you only played 9 games. Your frequency is calculated as follows 9 / 10 = 0.90. Anytime your frequency is LESS THAN 1.00, your STATUS will be marked as a FRESHIE.
For a more reliable ranking system, FREQUENCY is in place to prevent new players with a winning streak from flying to the top of the ranks and to ensure that players with a Top Rank continue playing to defend their rank.
HERE IS HOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE THROWN OFF GUARD: Since YOUR FREQUENCY is based on the Average Amount of Games Played, this statistic is constantly changing, even while you are not playing!
Going back to the example above, let’s say you played one more game to move from a FRESHIE to PROPER (10 / 10 = 1.00). Now, let’s say you stop playing for a week but obviously there are still people playing while you are gone (because JamDom is da hottest ting since slice bread!) so when you come back the average player reached 15 games in the 4-PLAYER Cut Throat Lounge. You still only have 10 games to your name so your FREQUENCY when you come back is 10/15 = 0.67 which is most definitely LESS THAN 1.00. Thus, you will be labeled a FRESHIE, until you catch back up to speed!
Love Ratio vs. Diverse Love Ratio
December 18th, 2009QUESTION:
What is the difference between Love Ratio and Diverse Love Ratio?
ANSWER:
LOVE RATIO measures how many sets you win over how many sets you lose. DIVERSE LOVE RATIO measures how many different players you have given love to over how many different players have given love to you.
Watch Hand / Tutorial
December 18th, 2009Here is a suggestion from Jr909:
“Good site. I like it.
Just a suggestion.
I think when a player is watching, he/she should be able to see at least one, if not all the players hand. I can see the potential risks involved but it could also serve as a learning method for want-to-be players. Maybe you could setup a special, non-ranking lounge for watching where would-be cheaters would have no effect.”
