The "Casual gamer" score only increases when you win, and decreases when you lose. Essentially this means that even if you win "most" it's going to take a while to get any points at all. Ledah and I played two games, won and lost one each, and ended up with the same total.

This means that "Reach a casual gamer score of 2800. A record that took years of tables, and the realm knows the name." is likely to never happen.

I would suggest that instead of it being an absolute ranking, you gain 1 for losing, 2 for winning. Then each game does increase your score a little.

Even with that, scoring 2800 will take a LONG time.

If you look at the % of how many hands the best players win, the amount of games to net 2800 points, even if you exclusively play with 3 other players, is quite saucy.

This is mainly for the likes of poker, but I imagine the other games are just as bad.

2800 win points is not very casual...

I have an other idea, lets call it active minigamer, and keep its mechanic as it is, but significantly lower the achievement requirement (maybe 10x less?)

Unless we find someone who will purposely lose for us (Hey Mallos, Mr negative 10000 stats) I'm not sure it's going to tend much in the upward direction. I haven't been able to find many people that want to play and the latest tournament got cancelled.

Just because of the random chance in many of the games, it's going to be hard, and who wants to play someone good (whose score is tending up) if your score just gets reduced.

I'm happy to leave it as it is, but I don't think anyone is going to push for the achievement given the difficultly as it stands.
