Daily Game Changes
http://www.funtrivia.com/daily
This small set of changes does not change how you play the game. In fact, most of you won't notice anything different whatsoever. I am listing the changes here for completeness sake.
In our main "Daily Game", new players to the site unfortunately have had to compete daily with some of our 10-year veterans, which isn't entirely fair competition.
It's not much fun logging in as a new player to the site and getting beaten day after day by players who are far more familiar with many of the questions.
In order to give newer players a better and fairer experience, we have made the following changes:
1. Players levels 1-20 will be put in question sets together.
2. Players who have won both the 50,000 point badge AND the "Daily Champ" badge will be placed in their own championship divisions (11 and 12 for now) where they will play against one another. These players are the best of the best and have achieved pretty much everything that there is to achieve in this game.
3. All "timed game" divisions will score at a minimum 20 points for a player.
If you play a timed game, you will now get 20 to 100 points, rather than 0 to 100. It was a little dispiriting in the past to play and earn 0 or 2 points because you had an off day.
This way you will still advance a token amount even if you have a bad day. After all, we are FUN trivia, not "leave you feeling like you deserve nothing" trivia.
Important note: None of these changes in any way affect team scores. Team scores are calculated by placing all players in one huge division, so the tweaking above does not change anything here.
Enjoy!
