Recessive Dominance Index

[Tad Carlucci]

I have been thinking about some sort of index for a couple-three years now.

No. It does not make sense.

Why?

Because, which it makes perfectly good sense, today, it does not perform as intended over time.

There are two main ways to handle change.

First, is to re-indexed everything. But that means you'll have to make it so everyone, newbies included, understands why a cat with a score of 20 (out of 100) suddenly has a score of 12 when nothing about the cat changed. (This is the method you've chosen)

Second is to move the goal. But that means you'll have to make it so everyone understand why a cat with a score of 20 (out of 100, yesterday) is the same cat with a score of 20 (out of 167, today) [Or, put another way, tjhe "same-value-point" of yesterday's 20-point cat is, today, 33 or 34 points and a 'purrfect' cat of 100 points yesterday is now sub-standard and the new 'purrfect' is 167 points.] (This method is the same, it just hides the "gotcha" so a different group of people complain about it.)

The problem? KittyCatS add and retire trait values.

For an "index" to work, KittyCatS needs to stop doing that.
