More stats, is more better :p Numbers just fascinate me... so on account of that, I'm fully in favour =D
...that said... how would you do this?
For someone at 100, 1000 or 3000 rating, to increase with 1000p, or 100% is very different - how would you compare/measure?
I agree the current way, how it is done, does not really stimulate players to play in a lot of games... the higher their respective ratings become, the more likely it becomes for them to become more selective in the games they join and the strategy they adopt in these. This might not be a desired effect? But that's out of my scope to comment on. This idea^ is however fully based on the assumption that they care about their score and try to keep it high - for those who purely play for the fun of it, this is no issue at all.
How the D12 is currently managed:
https://dominating12.com/tutorial/thedominating12The dominating 12:
Periodically the list of the best players on the site is published. The 12 best players on this list can call themselves the dominating 12 and receive black avatar banners. They are also invited to play the dominator game: a special game organised where the best of the best face off. The winner of this game will receive the dominator rank, double points and a month free premium.
To get on this list you need to have at least 30 games played in total and at least 5 games played in the last 15 days.
The current dominating 12 are:
slackbatter, maafi, alphax211, Jonathon, Matty, lazer36, Jimi, AlexCheckMate, Joeyseven, Muzthebus, TP_knighty, k0canada613Perhaps the easiest solution/semi fix, would be to increase the minimum amount of 5 games in 15d, to 15 games in 15d? That would most likely allow for the list to shuffle up quite a bit more than it does now...
having that said... I've only discovered this site 2 months ago and managed to go from 1000 to 3392 (@ time of Dominator update) rating and 8th place in that ranking over the course of some ~250 games. Climbing to ~2500 was rather simple and I suppose everyone can casually do that, provided they just join a lot of games (I've done ~4games/day) and finish them. After accomplishing that, I suppose I learnt and understood the basics of the game and knew how to play (already 'knew' how to play - played it a lot as a child with friends/family, LIVE LIVE on an actual/physical board). Joined 2 tournaments, in the first I ended up as #4, in the second got quite lucky with dice and opponents getting unlucky (allowing me to take over games), especially in 8p games this gives for a lot of pts (100+/game) and then even winning the tournament came with a bonus of +200p. Therefore I suppose getting into top30 (
https://dominating12.com/tutorial/thedominating12/2019-03-08%2009:44:39 ) is rather managable and after that you'll need some luck ;d
Note that this month (if I understand it correctly, talking with people etc.), there are 2 more new faces in the D12 (
Joeyseven &
k0canada613), so that's 25% fresh people in the list, which I suppose is quite good?
Would be cool to read more (different) visions on TPs concept =)

“Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.”
― Albert Einstein
