Receipt of Defeat is a mobile app that gives users the ability to create game with their friends and fight for bragging rights. Once the game league is created and your friends have joined, you can challenge any of them. Once the game is over, each player simply presses one of two options on their screen: I won or I lost. Based on the two User’s response, the App will update a table with useful data that you can use to fight your case at being #1. This data includes your wins, losses, win percentage, L-10 and streak (which is how hot or cold you are)
Now I know what your thinking. What happens if one player loses, decides to be a sore loseeeer, and hit the I won button? Won’t this throw the whole system off?
I struggled with finding a solution to this problem for a long, long, long time. Then it hit me. If people want to be sore losers, then let’s show it! I made the final column in the main league display the total amount of disputes that you have. If both players hit the same option, they have one chance to right their wrong and answer truthfully. If there is still a discrepancy, then the app will add plus one to both user’s dispute column. Over the long run, the sore losers will stand out like some fool who wears brown shoes with a black suit.
