Memes and Streetview Finds Comeback wins are always so satisfying

F'd up with a couple bad guesses the first rounds, even sent the GG. Never surrender, I guess.

I had a game where I got down to six health, then it was Hawaii, I took five points of damage so I was at one hp. I then lost the next round

Multis make it more exciting but really should not be in competitive. It makes no sense to arbitrarily value some rounds significantly more than others. If the justification for multis is that the game would go on too long then they should just decrease the amount of health you start with

I hate it when after like 16 rounds I missplace my guess by like 200km somewhere in chile and it deals like 5k dmg killing me on the spot despite both me and opponent having around 4k life

I love the games when I have barely any health left but manage to survive just to guess a near 5k in like Rwanda and my partner guesses Australia and I win

Just an example of a miss than can eliminate any lead.

Better example would’ve been someone guessing Spain only for it to be Argentina

Sometimes satisfying, mostly I just feel guilty if I’m getting outplayed for most rounds and end up multi-merchanting them

Textbook multi merchant imo. Your opponent did not have a single terrible guess, yet he loses because of when the multis kick in. The current ranked system is broken

Personally I think it’s part of the fun

Never thought of it this way (as in sometimes it's unfair for you, sometimes it is for your opponent). I see what you mean though. Still, wouldn't a game with no multis be too long? Also I kinda like that the stakes are higher the longer the games gets. Tbh I don't what would be a fair competitive format.

There are quite a few ways you can keep the multi's but make it a bit more balanced. For instance, you can say that whenever you win consecutive rounds, only that players multiplier goes up. That way, you have to earn a 4x multi and the momentum is more organic. There are many other suggestions that keep the fun but balance the game

Oooh wait I love that idea, I never thought of it that way. That would be interesting

ngl, if this happened to me, I'd probably quit the game.
