Removal of Combat Ability

[Jarka]

So you basically used CA as Gamerscore. A number attached to your account that had little-to-no bearing on your other gaming activities.

Would the inclusion of other meta-game mechanics (which is what Gamerscore is) keep your interest? I'm talking about things like Achievements or, as Sigfried called them, static-world events? Or is it actually the number, a direct comparison to other accounts, what was doing it for you?

Well, I posted my proposed changes before actually reading Sig's detailed deal, so now I look like a copycat (which is actually humorous, as I almost mentioned in my spiel that Sigfried would probably agree with me as he and I tend to agree on general mechanics and just nitpick over fine tuning). I actually really like his RPP (with the 0 for sucky critiques and 4 for awesome ones) as part of my community system. Also, I stand by his point that the good GMs flesh out a world around them, which I mentioned in mine as well.

So the answer to your question is yes, as I showed in my previous post.
