Not sure where the supercell devs learned basic mathematics, but why does someone with higher trophies get offered 28 for a 3 star win. Then ontop of that, if you get 2 stars on a 28 offer, you get 18 trophies.. Any person with half a brain knows 2/3 of 28, which is 18.667, gets rounded up to 19, NOT down to 18. Simple things supercell, simple things which have brought the quality of the game significantly down in the past few months.
And they have already told that they round all numbers down. Btw, 2/3 of 28 is not 18,667 it is 18 2/3.
As the calculations are mostly done by computers, not by people, it depends on how the result is converted to integer.Quote:

But when you truncate 18.667, it's 18.
Bit of programming jargon:
Math.round(f)
f = 2.0 -> i = 2 ; f = 2.22 -> i = 2 ; f = 2.68 -> i = 3
f = -2.0 -> i = -2 ; f = -2.22 -> i = -2 ; f = -2.68 -> i = -3
truncate (i.e. drop everything after the decimal dot)
i = (int) f
f = 2.0 -> i = 2 ; f = 2.22 -> i = 2 ; f = 2.68 -> i = 2
f = -2.0 -> i = -2 ; f = -2.22 -> i = -2 ; f = -2.68 -> i = -2
ceil/floor (an integer always bigger/smaller than a given value if it has any fractional part)
i = (int) Math.ceil(f)
f = 2.0 -> i = 2 ; f = 2.22 -> i = 3 ; f = 2.68 -> i = 3
f = -2.0 -> i = -2 ; f = -2.22 -> i = -2 ; f = -2.68 -> i = -2
i = (int) Math.floor(f)
f = 2.0 -> i = 2 ; f = 2.22 -> i = 2 ; f = 2.68 -> i = 2
f = -2.0 -> i = -2 ; f = -2.22 -> i = -3 ; f = -2.68 -> i = -3
Get out of here with your copy paste from wiki, any fool and their dog knows 19 is closer to 18 2/3 than 18 is. Everything is done by computers now? Guess that's why everything is incorrect.Quote:

If rounding up of a figure has affected the quality of the game for the past few months, we have a bigger problem in our hands.
:rolleyes:
Players like you being named on the forums as 'senior' is just another.Quote:

@AgoDanielJovic
So you feel so strongly fooled by SC when they truncate the amount of trophies won that you feel the need to rage on the forums? Perhaps you have gained more trophies on defence than you have lost on offence for the same reason?
You asked in your OP where they learnt their math and I gave you the explanation on how a computer calculates and rounds numbers. But I see it now, that you did not want to know how, just steam out your frustration. Take a moment and think, what was the real trigger for all this? I don't think it was the one cup you did not get.
I can't cope with your nonsensical mumble jumble. The accusations of predicaments I have apparently done are preposterous and have either not been done yet, or will never be fulfilled by yours truly. The deception and inaccuracy to the previous fraudulent post makes me wonder in consternation. I postulate for an extenuation in a jiffy.Quote:

It's funny that my forum rank and post counts get commented on so often, and i'm actually using the mobile version.Quote:
