Improving Round Diversity

almost 10 years

Alright so the 'banning guns' thread gave me an idea and I'd like to make a separate thread outlinining my thoughts and see if it's something the competitive community would be interested in pursuing.

Current System

A setup can only be comped once every 3 rounds
Variants are at mod discretion on a case-by-case basis

Proposed Changes

A setup can only be comped once every 5 rounds
Established variants kept on a running list (that will be public); new variants looked at by mods on a case-by-case basis

Goals

Improve diversity: This would mean that you'd only see certain setups at minimum every 50 days or 2 months or so (assuming ~10 day rounds). At minimum, you would see 30 different setups before seeing the same one comped again, allowing for a greater variety of setups to get exposure and giving people an opportunity to run on setups they like that may be less popular.
Tighten up what constitutes as a variant: makes things more objective and less on what the current admin/mod team thinks. This way there won't be as much debate over what is a variant or not the day of the round, it'll be pre-established and known, so people will know what they can and cannot comp

Please discuss. I'd also like to hear what the current mods think of this since they're the ones who will be enforcing this.

Well thats cause I didnt come up with it...

It was tried before and generally came out with poor results.

Although I will support this on the condition that Feels Good Man is allowed to be comped in those rounds.

I actually like this idea, but I don't know how well it will work out. I think the end result will be a vdli round followed by jan followed by a and d (or variant), then frontier justice and then HI. and it will just keep cycling. What I thought worked before (though they were unpopular) were rounds where you couldnt comp a setup that has been comped in the past 10roundz and this happened every 5 or so rounds

this is an actually really decent idea

epicmafia deserves a mod team that doesnt take 3+ days off the round to look at obvious cheating accusations.

also there's no point in doing a "mod elections" thread as that's not how it works.

Maybe every 4 rounds. TBH, you don't have enough setups.

there are literally infinite setups
it's just that most people are too lame to test new setups

Mods don't impose the setup rules they already have (see: A&R). Why add more for them to impose!?

as perviously noted i asked moderator jackhammer's permission to comp the variant

I asked moderator Jasper's permission to cheat all next round. Should he therefore allow it? ;)

well if he decides to say yes i wont begrudge u doing so

fair point. the solution is to rebuild the mod team from the ground-up.
