Display winstreaks
Aiming to win a bunch of games in a row is a good way to put players in a mindset where they actually make the highest winrate plays and take into account the risks and uncertainty involved in communication. It's also a nice way to add challenge to easier variants.
Here are some possible places we could display winstreak-related stats:
- Display each players Best Winstreak for the variant and player count on the pre-game screen
- Display the team's shared current winstreak on the pre-game screen
- Display Best Winstreak for variants on the player stats page
- Display Best Winstreak on the per-variant stats pages
I would add that there are two ways of defining winstreak:
- Considering games of a particular variant + player count.
- Considering games of a particular variant + exact team of players.
For example, Alice, Bob, and Cathy win 2 games of No Variant in a row together. Then Alice, Bob, and Donald, win 1 game of No Variant. In the first model, Alice and Bob are on a winstreak of 3, and Donald is on a winstreak of 1. In the second model, Alice, Bob, and Cathy as a team are on a winstreak of 2, and Alice, Bob, and Donald as a team are on a winstreak of 1.
I prefer the second model, since the first model could lead to situations where you're currently on a streak, and you can't play beginner games without risking it.
im not opposed to showing winstreaks
related: i want to redo the pregame screen entirely, and probably get rid of the entire stats table in the db
