>and i did try habitica (not sure if my username is still valid though)... the thing is i mostly do habits and most of my small time habits work, and i didnt find a group to work with there, when we are just 2 or three people i think it would be easier
Yeah, Habitica sucks if you don't have a party. Sorry for the unsolicited advice :P
>i have no idea about python... i only use it to play around with unix shell and get to the threading and multiplexing and stuff;
whoa, threading, multiplexing... I have no idea how to do stuff like that. I use Python, yeah, but only for stupid stuff like arithmetic, reading files, etc :o I study electronics, not CS, so I that's probably why.
>at the end of the run/or year if nobody ever sees 0 there must still be a ratio on how the points count towards each other, right?
Hmm, not really? Because then someone could have their points as -1/+100 and pretty much never see zero. But their ratio of days written to days skipped would be the same regardless of the point system. (Correct me if my reasoning is wrong -- this is an extreme example...) So no, I think if we're going to track people's points then everybody should follow the same system. Going off your original suggestion, we could follow something like:
- if you exceed your goal by 20%, +10 points; - if you write 0 words, -10 points; - if you reach your writing goal, +5 points; - if you write but don't reach your daily goal, -5 points.
I think this is similar enough to what you suggested initially; can be improved though. What do you think?
