I am all ready to post results, but I have noticed something. I do not check what anybody's scores are until I have the write-ups finished and ordered in the order I score them. What I've noticed though is that with so many players, there is a score gap that is widening rapidly. With the current scores, there is a 2.8 point gap between first and last place. With so many participants, I'm wondering if anybody would like to see a 'squish' - I would add up the scores this round, then divide them in 2, effectively cutting the gap in half. I would maybe do it again at the end of round 6.
I offer this because I've struggled to come up with a decent scoring system for so many people, I guess, and the huge gap means it'll be impossible for a lot of people to catch up with others, and I don't want to do a squish without asking first. For example there's a sizeable gap between last place and the person just above them as well as another noticeable gap between two other sets of players. The scores in the results would remain as is, I would just do the squish once (now) and then once again 2 rounds from now. That's it.
So yeah feel free to chime in. Results will be posted sometime tomorrow after chewing on this for a while.
Like I mean part of me thinks "well that's how the game is played, you send worse stuff you get left behind" but I pick bad scoring systems
