Life is about surviving, not killing.

Hello,

New scoring system to focus on life, instead of killing.

1 point for life.
0 point for death.

Let's take a look at the following situation:

Warrior1: Cockroach.
Warrior2: Human.
Warrior3: Cow.

Warrior1: Survives cockroach, ties 100%
Warrior1: Survives human, ties 100% to 99% (human maybe stepped on cockroach
once)
Warrior1: Survives cow, ties 100% to 99% (cow maybe stepped on cockroach
once)

Cockroach points: close to 300%

Warrior2: Human ties against cockroach gets 100%
Warrior2: Human destroys cow, gets 100%
Warrior2: Human destroys itself 50%, gets only 50%

Human points: 250%

Warrior3: Cow ties with coackroach 100%
Warrior3: Cow dies against human, 0%
Warrior3: Cow ties with cow, 100%

Cow points: 200%

First place: cockroach.
Second place: human.
Third place: cow.

Now let's compare this to the current scoring system:

Warrior1: Survives cockroach ties 100 points.
Warrior1: Survives human ties 100 points.
Warrior2: Survives cow ties 100 points.

Cockroach points: 300.

Warrior2: Human ties cockroach ties 100 points.
Warrior2: Human wins 50%, gets 50x2 points = 100 points.
Warrior2: Human destroys cow, gets 100x2 points = 200 points.

Human points: 400 points.

Warrior3: Cow ties cockroach ties 100 points.
Warrior3: Cow loses against human 0 zero points.
Warrior3: Cow ties cow ties 100 points.

Cow points: 200 points.

From an evolutionary point of view the current scoring system doesn't make
much sense.

The cow is a dumb beast easy killable by the human... therefore the human
gets many many more points... but was it really that hard to do ?

The cockroach which is a true survivor gets less points... indicating
something is wrong... so far the cockroach can be considered the superior
lifeform since it's the oldest know living thing on the planet ? or
something like that lol

So I would be interested in seeing a new hill where the focus is not on
killing persee... but on surviving !

So a simple scoring system like:

1 for life
0 for death

Should be just enough !

This is exacly how evolution works, the ones who have most ease to
survive (the human, it can get food without much of a hassle) will do
better/best.

Anyway, evolution will always find the path of least resistence IMO,
if you change the scoring method you'll create warriors suited for
that scoring method. If you keep the current scoring method you'll
drive evolution towards a solution with the current scoring method. I
think its that simple...
