At DC there's now two different points system.
[u:28a974a09a]Player Ratings[/u:28a974a09a] - This rates how well you do in the games that you play. Your rating goes up the most if you solo, less if you are part of a draw and the least amount if you eke out a survival.
If someone solos then all other players lose. The loss points are distributed among them. Therefore, it is much better to be part of a draw than to be second place when someone solos. (IMHO there actually IS no second place if someone solos - but that is only an opinion.)
[u:28a974a09a]Charter Of The Companion Merits [/u:28a974a09a]- This is a gauge of how active you are in the club. You get 10 Merits for every game GM'd, and from 5 - 8 Merits for every game played to the end.
With the Merits, the only difference between soloing and drawing is that you get 8 Merits for a solo win and 6 Merits for being included in the draw. However, even if you are eliminated, you get 5 Merits provided that you played the position to the bitter end.
Hope that makes sense at all. Just let us know if it doesn't.
