CTP PBEM Challenges Awaiting Response
JohnGalt137 challenged dancemassuese Aug 2010 (waiting for JohnGalt137 to respond)
ricketyclik challenged hornedfrog Oct 2010 (waiting for hornedfrog to respond)
The Rules:
1. BAID represents the highest CTP solo artificial intelligence level ever defeated -- BEST ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DEFEAT (without cheating, of course). This gives a rough indication of the player's level, and initially places players on the ladder somewhat fairly.
2. Players alphabetically appear on the ladder in the "Alternate Players" section when they show an interest in being on the ladder. They will then appear on the official ladder once a previously announced (on this thread) game finishes.
3. Ladder positions change when a player lower on the ladder defeats a player higher on the ladder. When a lower ladder player defeats a higher ladder player:
3.1) the lower player takes over the ladder position of the higher player;
3.2) the higher player moves down one slot on the ladder;
3.3) the lower player attains the BAID level of the higher player (if different).
3.4) Alternate players will appear at the bottom of the official ladder once they complete an official challenge match, unless they defeat an official ladder player -- in which case rules 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 apply.
4. There is no cheating or bug exploits allowed in CTP PBEM Challenges. Anyone caught cheating will be permanently banned from the CTP PBEM Challenge Ladder.
Cheating in PBEM includes:
a) Opening your opponents turns before the game ends.
b) Replaying any turn.
c) Using the "rush buy - then switch queue" bug exploit.
d) Settling on top of a farm or mine.
5. You may challenge any player any time. However, a player is "obliged" to accept your challenge if you are within three ladder spots of their position. If the person challenged dodges the challenge continually, with no good reason (posted here), then the one challenged may lose one or more positions on the ladder, or fall into the Alternate Players group. Remember to post your challenge, and the acceptance or declination of that challenge here on this thread.
6. ** Rescinded **
7. In PBEM Challenges, a player wins in the normal manner, but also wins if the player achieves a Power Graph (PG) rating four times their opponent's graph (4xPG), beyond the 20 turn mark, (except in the Dual-Duel format where it is recommended to use the standard victory conditions only -- see note 8).
8. (Optional) The Dual-Duel format makes for a fair game. It completely equalizes the starting positions -- Two games started simultaneously on the same randomized map with starting positions swapped. First one to win a game wins the match. Use this format if you wish. If you do use this dual-duel format, it is recommended that you do NOT use the 4XPG (mentioned in note 7 above), victory condition because one civilization may have a much better starting position.
9. Any player not responding to a direct challenge within two weeks will be dropped from the ladder. The challenged player does not necessarily need any excuse. He or she must simply "respond" here on this thread to either accept or decline. If the challenged player continually dodges the challenger(s) with excuses, then that challenged player may drop down the ladder depending upon the circumstances.
10. Draws do not count for either a win or a loss for either player.
11. Once a CTP PBEM Challenge Match is agreed upon by both players, then any absence from the game for over two weeks will result in a win for the present player and a loss for the absent player.

Founded by the great William Wallace, 4000 years before the birth of the Messiah, Allan Donald, the Scottish Empire would one day rule far more than the Earth. The clans grew and spread quickly, till they encompassed the far Eastern portion of the long, L shaped continent, rotated 90 degrees to the right....
