I think this will be a decent experiment. I expect that the ratio of 1 to 1 is a bit high as it’s not hard to rack up a decent number of wins in incit especially if you engage in some klan based shenanigans. Hopefully CZ will monitor to make sure that nobody is gaming the system with illegal alts. |

This sounds like an excellent way to earn Chocolate scoops all the time, if the threshold were changed from 1 win to 3 wins or something.
Also, is there any chance of looking at ForumBuildr chocolate and maybe changing that to one scoop for every five upvotes instead of the way it works now? |

Conversely it’s a great way to FIND illegal alts. |

I may be biased, but I’ve observed the rate at which people win INCIT rounds more than anyone and I can say that 1 scoop per win should not unbalance things. My entire several-month INCIT record could be matched by participating in a few large raids. At most, the top players win about ten to fifteen a day… certainly less than what any raider wins, and about equal to what any speedrunner wins. Plus, it’s a huge expenditure of time. You have to devote at least five minutes for each attempt to win. It’s not much, one round at a time… but to really rack up the wins, you have to play for hours on end. Diehard playing certainly demands as much time as a raid, and would yield less than a tenth the reward- bumuming you were good enough to be reaping any award at all.
So I don’t expect this to be a huge upset for domination. What I do expect, though, is a much bigger crowd in INCIT… and whatever the reason, that’s something I approve of. |

100 plz! I only won a few so far.
Seriously this is utterly crappy. U know the reason why the INCIT room has been empty recently was because it was a crappy game. Ur saying like, play this crappy game and we’ll give chocolates. That’s not how it should be done.
I’d rather play bj all day. If only there were no cap for it. And 6:5 for a bj was crap too. |

I thought INCIT was supposed to give chocolate in the first place. Is this a test drive for once it gets out of “test mode”? |

I sense klan voting. Get y’er headphones ready. |

Lame.
I predict lots of Klan Voting. |

We’re not going to see a proper test of any of these ideas until klan vanilla is fixed, simply because there’s little incentive to even try. |

I do agree that INCIT isn’t very good though, I don’t see why Orb and his klan don’t get bored of it. But just the one scoop per win isn’t going to break anything in domination, really. Klan-based INCIT voting should be added to the list of bannable offenses though. It’s hard to prove but sometimes it’s blatantly obvious (the bus club went this route on more than one occasion, for instance). |

meeeeeeeeee Posted: Exactly. These theme weeks are a great idea but until klan vanilla is fixed they don’t make a difference; the outcome is always the same: in every bracket where vanilla raiders compete they get the medals. They don’t even have to card down to protect their scoops. |

I have to admit, even as much as this theme excites me, I’m reluctant to even devote my time to it when I know it wont really make a difference. I mean, we’re going to raid, but it’ll never be big enough to compete with anyone. |

I agree with this actually, and I don’t even play INCIT. Of course, if klan vanilla eventually gets nerfed then 1 scoop might be more balanced. |
