Head Hunters scoring system
 
The Head Hunters gamemode gives your team more points the more gems you bring to your base, giving great reward to great risk. Still, the escalation of points at higher numbers of gems can feel a little extreme sometimes. Here are some alternate proposals for how many points each number of gems (up through 20 gems) could be worth for your team; which of these most appeals to you as a player?

Code:

Gems        nth        lg        lg2        ^
1        1        0        0        1
2        3        1        2        2
3        6        3        4        5
4        10        5        8        8
5        15        8        11        11
6        21        10        15        14
7        28        13        19        18
8        36        16        24        22
9        45        19        28        27
10        55        23        33        31
11        66        26        38        36
12        78        29        43        41
13        91        33        48        46
14        105        36        53        52
15        120        40        58        58
16        136        44        64        64
17        153        48        69        70
18        171        52        75        76
19        190        55        80        82
20        210        59        86        89

nth - bringing n gems scores the nth triangular number, or n * (n+1) / 2 (this is the current system)
lg - bringing n gems scores n log n
lg2 - bringing n gems scores n log2 n
^ - bringing n gems scores n ^ 1.5

The use of the logarithm also has the effect that if you bring only 1 or 2 gems you might get less than 1 or 2 gems. I feel this may add some excitement.

Thanks for your feedback. The "lg" system has been implemented and will be available in 5.7.
