Frequently Asked Questions

How do I become rated? Simply post, to this thread, the highest level of victory that you ever attained, (Chieftain, Warlord, Prince, King, Emperor, or Deity), in a "single player" game of Call to Power, along with the Nation and Territory that you presently reside. That's it! You'll see your name appear on the above list within a week.
How do the ratings change? See the below CTP Ratings Links section for an in depth discussion.
On whose turn should the Power Graph be reported? It doesn't matter because the Power Graph remains the same during the cycle of the turn. However, we recommend that the 1st player (blue) always report the Power Graph results.

-----------------
TENPL639_AM Report Legend:

NAT.TR - Nation and Territory of Primary Residence.

PBEM RATING - Starts with an initial value depending upon the highest CtP AI level ever honestly defeated: Chieftain=14; Warlord=16; Prince=17; King=18; Emperor=19; Deity=21. This rating changes by winning or losing to other rated players, (at the *9 turn mark every ten turns), while playing "rated" PBEM games. See the CtP Multiplayer topic "PBEM Ladders" for details on how this rating change is calculated.

-------------------
TEN619_AM Report Concepts:

Win/Loss - A Win counts by having a "higher" Power Graph rating at the ten turn mark during a "rated" game. For example, in a five player game, at the ten turn mark, each player will receive four results - 4 wins and 0 losses, or 3 wins and 1 loss, etc.

Delinquency - 24 or more hours late counts as a delinquency. Each delinquency deducts -0.1 ratings points from player's rating.

Inactivity Adjustment - Players will lose 5/100ths of a ratings point (-0.05) for each month they go without a ratings adjustment, (i.e. remain inactive in the ratings for an entire month).
-----------------
Elimination Rule

If, in a rated game, a player:
a) resigns;
b) changes status from "rated" to "unrated";
c) gets annihilated; or
d) gets "next turned" for three turns in a row,

then every remaining player in that game "DEFEATS" THAT PLAYER THREE TIMES (as measured by the normal ten turn phase defeat).

For example, in a 5 player game, the first person who gets "eliminated from the ratings in that game" would be "defeated" 12 times (as measured by the normal power graph 10 turn defeat), (3 multiplied by 4 remaining players.) This equates to an average decrease in ratings of about 2 to 3 points for the eliminated player. The second player eliminated would be defeated 9 times (3 multiplied by 3 remaining players), ... etc.

In the case of resignation or three consecutive "next turns", then that resigned player's civilization will be "next turned" until a replacement player, (either rated or unrated), takes over that civilization's control.
-----------------
Alien Life Victory Rule

If a player wins by completing the Alien Project, then that player defeats every remaining player three times.

4. The current turn number;
5. The turn number you want the game to become "rated".

*** Ratings Updated ***

And Mobius clings to the lead with his "one active rated game" strategy. Whatever works!

[faded glory]

Anyway, Mobius is right, whatever works. I wonder which game he is only rating himself...


Why the hell does my avatar take so much space up . I think its a bug, because it is .art, as opposed to everyone elses GIF and JPG

[TheBirdMan]

Read some of my posts in the previous rating thread. Quinns is missing some games - including one, where Mobius isn't doing well(Lungmatch 3.2). Actually Mobius is playing in 2 (or 3?) rated games....

EDIT: Spell-error (one more).

Edit-edit: With Keygen's follow-up just below, then Mobius is playing in 3 rated games.

[Keygen]

Mobius is playing in two rated games: Love Conquers & Swissy2. Even if he was in one rated game so what? We all know he is one of the best players around.

I play in 4 rated games which are in progress: Fixed Game, Team Spirit, Lungmatch 2.2 & Aint No Fun.
In fixed game I am in the last position for some time and it is the fastest game I play! Every 10 turns I go down cause 3 player above me defeat me.
In Team Spirit I am in the first position among 8 player including two of the players that beat me in Fixed Game. But its progress is so slow (10 turns every 1 or 1 & a half month) that doesn't to much to my ratings .
Lungmatch 2.2? In the 35 turn currently and I am on the second position and it goes very slow too lately.
Aint No Fun? First but haven't reached turn 9 yet .
Bottom line: I go more down and down because I am getting rated in regular basis only in Fixed Game so far .

[Paul]

Same here. I'm last in Lung's Fast which is the only one moving at a decent speed. I'm first in Monkey 2, but it's moving slower and only two other players are rated in that game. And with Yeti's disappearance Lung's the only other rated player left in the game. I'm second in Monkey 1 and doing ok in Conquer and Do Some PBEM, but those are also moving slow.

[Solver]

Hey, I'm up .

[TheBirdMan]

Solver - And who knows what happens, when Quinns have updated this ratings again with the 7 games he forgot.

Among others one, where TheTrueDemos have beaten both me and Mobius, this would certainly lift Demos some places.

Post Deleted... Thanks Birdman, you were right. I screwed up. 7 more rated game results coming.

[Lung]

WHAT!?!!?!!!

I bolt from fourth to first in Lung's FAST! pbem and my ranking goes down!!!

How the hell do i drop eight places after smacking Jon around the head a billion times?!! Wail! Moan! Whine!! Rant!!!

[faded glory]

Ahh finally, back on top

Literally !

[quinns]

*** Ratings Updated ***

Should be right now. I missed seven games from previous thread, earlier. Nice crybaby whining Lung! And nice diapers on your avator!

The squeeky wheel gets the oil, though. Now the ratings should be correct.

[faded glory]

Post removed.

[berXpert]

Cool, it looks better now. I still at top 5

But I think it's time to go down, the players who defeat me going to climb really fast.

[Nice smile]

[ZoboZeWarrior]

What program are you using to calculate final score ?

[Solver]

Hm. Certainly got some spare time today, so here are some little statistics I made, taking the players by their countries, and sum of their ratings.

Ratings by Country

United States of America 268.121
Great Britain 147.508
France 64.175
Netherlands 55.527
Denmark 42.693
Austria 41.256
Canada 41.256
Germany 36.967
Latvia 36.967
Greece 22.010
Belgium 20.379
Slovenia 19.796
Israel 18.011
Inaria 17.209
Mexico 17.209
Singapore 16.811


Well, nothing really interesting here, as ratings of a particular country is very closely bound to the number of players from there. Who would ever doubt that most of you come from USA. Anyway, we can see some great difference between rank 1 and 2, as well as between rank 2 and 3.

[quinns]

Interesting Solver. But if we are going to get nationalistic I think it would be fairer to show the "average" rating from each nation. Thanks for the compilation.

[berXpert]

Yes, I agree with quinns, divide the by the number of players of each country so the Ratings by Countries make more sense.

BTW how could be the sum of Mexico = 17.209 if there is only one player (me ) and my rating is 22.010?

Anyway that's what I call spare time

[Solver]

Sorry berXpert. I just had some sorting problems. OK, I'll also post average scores.

[Keygen]

Which is that country? A typo maybe?

Yes Solver, an average would be more close to real situation .

[Solver]

OK, here you are then.

Average rating by country



Mexico 22.010
France 21.392
Denmark 21.347
Great Britain 21.073
Inaria 20.788
Australia 20.628
Israel 20.476
Slovenia 19.788
Latvia 19.469
Germany 19.456
Greece 19.217
USA 19.152
Canada 18.703
Belgium 18.592
Netherlands 18.509
Singapore 16.811



Mexico is only represented by one player, and thanks to berXpert's high rating, Mexico is in lead here, followed by France. Let's now see if those automated calculations are correct . I think that Klair contributes to that position of France. If she continues like that, represented-by-one-player Mexico might loose its lead.

[Solver]

Oh, these auto calc aren't good. .

[Paul]

It looks like Inaria should be Indonesia.

[TheBirdMan]

Hehehe

We are doing nice, I and my (nearly) neighbor Nutsuncommon (sorry Notuncommon). Hope he soon will be able to play himself again.

Great Danes

[berXpert]

yupi, yupi, yeah, yeah, arriba, ariba, andale andale !!!

I vote for this rating as the official

... just kidding quinns

[Solver]

Stop using these smilies so much. You start to look like AH then. Annoying .

[Franses]

OK. I got the point. I finish my games and will start playing soccer again.
