Solver, I think we all agreed at an earlier stage, that all games was rated an a "9" turn.
Personally I would not be able to remember if I have to report this game at turn *9 and the other at turn *0.

From Quinns: TheBirdMan is right Solver. All PowerGraph ratings will be taken on the ..9 turns NOT THE ..0 turns. I thought we clarified this earlier.

[Solver]

Sorry guys, I meant that first ratings need to be taken on Turn 29 . Why I made this mistake? I was thinking about the SMAC rating system, and there the turns are taken on turns that end with 0. Sorry both, sometimes I'm somewhat crazy .

Solver, I would strongly recommend that you make SMAC ratings as much like CTP as possible to avoid this very problem (i.e. ..9 instead of ..0). Now is the time to make the change in SMAC while the SMAC ratings is still in it's infancy.

DanQ and MarkG,

So this is a perpetual first thread for this forum huh? That makes it easy... Thanks Dan and Mark! Did Solver have something to do with that or did you just do it on your own? Just curious.

Lung's Fast PBEM turn 109 Powergraph:
1. Stavros - German
2. BirdMan - Roman
3. Lung - Australian
4. Jon - Indian
5. Paul - Dutch

The top three are very close together; I actually had to take a screenshot and enlarge it to determine the positions.

[quinns]

Thanks Paul. You missed the Sunday deadline by one day. I'll process Lung's Fast(109) this coming Sunday along with any others that come in.

Quinns

[MarkG]

yes, this thread is top-ed... it was an original idea of mine


when you have a new thread that will replace this send me a pm...

[Paul]

Monkey 2 turn 229 powergraph:
1. Paul - Dutch
(2. Zaphod - German)
(3. Max Webster - American)
4. Lung - Australian
5. Yeti - French
6. TheBirdMan - English
(7. AI - German)
(8. Eliminated - Greeks)

[Solver]

OK, I will take the care of informing MarkG when the threads change. Plus, I've sent Mark another PM, but I'm not about to divulge what is in there... not at least for now.
Also, everyone who yet hasn't, take a look at Apolyton CTP front page for a look at the Top 10, as Mark was kind enough to put it on the front page.
When I was originally propsing the idea of rating CtP PBEM, I did expect it to be quite popular, but I didn't even dream that the Apolyton administrators would note the system and take care of it!
Also, I will soon post an interview. My fellow friend Shadow (from the real world, I mean) has been lurking here and now decided to ask me questions, store the answers, and now he asks me to publish them .
Quinns, do you have the full history of all PBEM rankings, to make it possible how did they change? I have my old good Excel workbook, but I'm not completely sure it's correct. If you don't have the history, we'll have to use my workbook for that, but I really, really hope you do have the history.
Quinns, I can't rate the SMAC turns on *9, as in CtP the very first turn played is turn 0, thus we get 0, 1, 2... 8, 9, while in SMAC it's 2101, 2102, ..., 2109, 2110.
Edit: got messed with the HTML coding.

Quinns, did you rate Dutcheese pbem in this new update ?
[This message has been edited by slamp (edited January 30, 2001).]

[quinns]

Slamp, I guess you keep missing my request for more information. See below request from awhile back...

If you already gave me this information, then I apologize, I must have must it. Please resubmit it.

King Thor... right. Ducheese is not even a rated game yet. I'm still waiting for Slamp to give me Duck Hunter's initial rating (edit: I got Duck's rating Slamp but I need the rest of the info as stated here). And for Slamp to tell me that all players in DC are in (except you) for the ratings.
*** NOTICE TO ALL GAME STARTERS IN RATED GAMES ***

Please post all of your turn ..9 power graph results to the latest CTP Ratings thread (this thread for now). I will not check each and every rated game thread to see if turn ..9 is reached.

Also, a reminder that all APPLICATIONS FOR NEW RATED GAMES need to be posted here with:
1. Official game name;
2. Player list (in turn order) of all players' APOLYTON HANDLES (no nick names please). Place players that wish to be "unrated" in parentheses;
3. All desired rated players must have a current rating -- (please state their initial rating if they do not have a current rating).
4. The current turn number;
5. The turn number you want the game to become "rated".

Solver, I understand about SMAC now thanks. Zero turn it will be then. And they will do their status changes on turn One instead of Zero as in CTP.

Regarding history... again I thought I mentioned this several times already but here it is again. The history is available at this link:


MATCH601_AM_M --- APLCTP PBEM Results -- (last one year, along with tennis matches)

and can be reached from the CTP Ratings' 1st post.

And Quinns, is this the older and longest history you have? Are these entries since the very beggining? I just wonder, as the Excel chart shows some more points, not only these.
The file isn't bad, but it takes some effort to understand what was the player's rating first, then a week later, an so on.
But, nice work done . Just because after printing it looked much, much more better.

Thanks Solver. If that's what you mean by "history" then the only thing I have is monthly history... not weekly. I could, fairly easily, come up with a report that shows monthly information if you wish. That might be kind of interesting anyway. I'll look into it.

edit: And, yes, that is all of the data that was used in calculating the ratings. Maybe if you had a specific example in mind, I might be able to help you with your missing lines.
