28 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: I am a big WTA stan, ppsc is lame small pp
28 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: Dave?
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: whats PPSC
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: Points per supply center
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: I sure hope that everyone forgets what PPSC is soon. It leads to people handing solos to players on a silver plate.
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: ah
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: Yeah and why does it give points to people who survive? I thought PPSC was supposed to give the solo winner all of the points and only if there is a draw does it give people points based off of supply centers
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: No it just always gave points per supply center, regardless of the game ending in a solo or a draw.

That often led to the second strongest player let the largest player go for the solo while collecting some more SC's and thus, points, for themselves.
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: Which is obviously against the idea of Diplomacy.
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: https://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=46227 here is a link to a WTA haven game if you want to join.
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: Actually, it's the opposite of what you describe-

PPSC only encourages Solos- in a draw, points are distributed evenly between the remaining players in PPSC and WTA. It's counterintuitive.
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: PPSC encourages throwing to get 2nd place.
29 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: which is poopoo
30 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: I hope I don't get Pisa again lol
30 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: i wanna get the green one
30 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: I hope you get Siena too.
30 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: I want the grey one
30 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: I want the brown one in Africa
30 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1454: Or the tan one.
