I heard from Cindy-Chen that KKLT had some calculations or whatever; looks like I found it.
Alright, let me justify the 2 down, 1 up rule I came up with.
Remember, that girls far outnumber boys when it comes to DCW. In addition, girls tend to be spread out more throughout timezones. This is why guys having double firepower is not that overpowering.
There are very few cases where guys and girls will alternate posting in turn (when I'm in is one example, but I rarely play). Often, I find, girls post faster and more rapidly then guys, which also evens this tide up.
While I'm online and playing the games, I note at least one girl and one anonymous user at all times. The anonymous user is almost always a girl, and I quickly find myself at a disadvantage despite the fact I can go down two.
But just in case the rule would become too overpowering, I did add that girls had to go half the distance guys do. This also helps even up the sides.
So, this is math, but with more included factors than one would consider. If we consider the factors: girls outnumber boys, girls post faster, frequently, and more often then guys, and girls have half the distance necessary to win, I feel this is a pretty even game.
Is this enough of a rant?
