suggestions

I think it's a little off how there are bots in the top 100 energy HoF, which haven't been logged into for months.

My suggestion is a decrease in EPH for inactivity. The longer the player is inactive, the lower the EPH (5 being the lowest).

I totally disagree with this. Players have had to stay in a clan AND keep their energy through a month. Their place is well deserved.

I did like 150k short of a million energy without logging in. Yay me. :)

yay

I also disagree with this, it's like saying inactive bots with a high level should lose levels over time..

But the inactive bot is getting higher in the HoF than active scorers who actually put time and effort into scoring. Am I the only one who thinks this?

The answer to your question is who and cares. Ender plans to change the energy system entirely so meh.

I too had noticed some bots that hadn't been logged into this month being in the top 100 and didn't think this was right either. Here's a chart comparing monthly energy rank and days since last login:

It's clearly not a problem at the top ranks, but it does start to kick in a bit more at the 70+ ranks. I think this is a function of two things: (1) new energy system, specifically EPH and (2) somewhat small playerbase. The first thing plays in because better bots are rewarded more highly and because a bot can be considered good without being logged into. The second is something that I hope will change with time.

If this were affecting the top 10 at all, I'd move to fix this immediately (and this kind of did happen with the first EPH formula with high level bots), but since it's not and the top players can still outperform inactive bots, I don't think it's as big a problem. Looking at a few of the inactive bots on the higher end of the rankings, they are owned by established, strong players, so it's not just some random bots getting up there for no reason at all. Maybe they shouldn't be rewarded as much later on for earlier activity, but I think this will become less of a problem as the game grows so I don't think it needs to be addressed just yet.

< Insert saucy comment about ender's use of the word immediately >

I log onto my bots occasionally, but rarely use them all that often. So I know mine aren't "inactive" but they are idle and as of now my clan is currently 7th.
