The Cogs Season 3: The Clocktower of Edgar Lusse
Shinkurex:
Looks good so far :)... My issue with the bidding system, is that it's horribly imbalanced to the teams that have more scrap (be it that they win it, or have just been in the rotation longer)... I'm thinking this is going to be way more problematic with the newcomer matches. New comers have no scrap, so even if there was a dispute about sides, the defenders will just have to bid 1 scrap to get the side they want. with the other Tiers, it's more of a risk/reward system that could work, but with newcomers it's stupidly low-risk. Suggested fix, would be to give all teams 10 scrap from the start, that way if the defenders want the good spawns, they have to sweat a little.
(Please forgive grammar/spelling/coherency, as it is late... if you want me to explain it better, you know where to find me :)))
Captain Smollett:
That seems reasonable enough to me, everyone starts with a certain amount of scrap when they start.
Squash:
What Shin just said, I like that.
Wundsalz:
I think we should really clarify the purpose of the bidding system here.
do we want some sort of gamble system allowing teams to raise the value of their matches to their favor or do we just want a less random solution for side-picking conflicts ?
If we want the latter we should seriously consider to search for an entirely new alternative.
Frankly I'd rather like to see the bidding system cut out entirely than to see fixes like granting teams 10 points from the start (which is more than a team staying in the Transition gear for the entire season can collect). Keep in mind that the bidding system has been introduced as a fix for a rather minor problem in the OP - a method to decide who picks which side. It has been pointed out that this system can severely influence the outcome of the entire league and it furthermore comes along with balance issues. In my opinion those drawback clearly out-weight the benefit(?) of having less random determinations for who plays which side.

I agree, I don't see any real problem with a simple coin-flip. It's worked thus far and it doesn't have the problems stated previously.
