What do you think of my idea? I've been thinking about how to reward more guesses rather than the abitrary dropping every 10 grades. I'd like to see a "number of guesses correction factor". We can take your calculated score, subtract it from 1, then multiply by the number of guesses to get the final score. That would reward people for guessing. The more guesses you have, the higher your correction factor and the higher your score. That would also even out the abstained votes better. You could not be rewarded for not guessing, but if you have the guts, you're rewarded. The formula would be: (1-calculated score) x number of guesses = corrected score
See my reply in http://www.cointalk.com/t127516/ Also, this is why I posted the thread http://www.cointalk.com/t121891/
I voted no for the simple fact that it is not really important how it is done, just so I can see how I am doing. Even though my score is dropping some of the comments RLM has made about coins makes some of my mistakes understandable. So however they get run are fine with me. I just appreciate all the hard work that goes into something like this.
I am willing to set it up howsoever you guys desire at least withing some bounds of reasonableness. What I will start objecting to is redoing and re-redoing it.
I voted no, but more that I think about it the more it makes sense. That, and it changed my position from 4 to 2.
