Kill goal increased

the dcl should have an option of which both partys agree to have a higher killgoal that is all

I don't see the benefit in this.

Make your case as to why that would be a good idea.

You can already play way higher than 20...so long as the other pilot only trails by 1.

I'm guessing algorithm calculations would get messed up in a hurry.

There wouldn't be a technical issue. The algorithm is based on deaths, which aren't always 20 even in scenarios where you win by more than 2, thanks to suicides and certain pieces of hated machinery that will go unmentioned because no one loves them.

The issue would be with defining what a win is. The DCL defines it as "game to 20, win by 2", so that when you see someone has 10 wins, you know that they are all standard. When you start tinkering with the kill goal, you change what it means to have a win on the DCL. I don't think it would work.

We tried that on UDL, as I recall. I don't remember liking it.

I'm against the idea
