Seven Days Fermented is a bit of corner case because it is so much stronger than most alliances with the same amount of members. There simply are no other alliances of the same size that are good enough to fight them. We’ve tested allowing bigger differences in member counts, but that results in more uneven matches for most of the alliances.
As I said in a different post, July is a bit challenging month because so many of us (including me) are on vacation. We are still testing things, but can’t make bigger changes. I was really hoping we could have made a more measurable improvement before that.
Things we have been working on right now:
Further AB tests using the current logic
Fix for the alliance level opt-out
Things hopefully released early August:
Personal opt-out support
Smaller iterations to the current logic
Things we are discussing:
Implement ELO ranking which was the long term plan anyway. As I said elsewhere, we still needed some heuristic to seed the rank, and that’s why we started with what we have.
Various bigger changes to the current logic, possibly still combined with ELO ranking.
From here yesterday:
