The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread Pt1]

[Robert]

@rating comments,

I agree that some ratings are a bit odd. Especially some of the low ratings are imho uncalled for. But things like that will fix themselves over time, I think.

The current system is indeed more of an "winner takes it" score system.
It doesn't matter if your rating difference with the next civ is 1 point or 0.1 point, it only matters if your rating is heigher or lower.

This is in fact what we voted for last week.
The alternative is that we do not do a monthly point assignement but just take the average rate of all ratings throughout the entire game.

Good question.. seems the diplo category was won by Raz's neighbours

An other thing: If I understand the scoring mechanish well then I really don't like it. Take a look at the attitude ratings and points. Four civs get the same rating and just a little more than me yet they all got 14 points and I got 10. It's not about me, I just don't think this kind of scoring is fair. Little difference in the actuall score makes huge difference in the endgame score. Can't we make it somewhat more balanced?

I find it very unsettling that so many people were given an average less than 4 for diplomacy. I personally have only met two other civs and have been very diplomatic. Are people voting like Raz and giving low rankings to civs you've never met?

@England; pick "help-about Mozilla Firefox" in the menu to see what version!

Thanks Russia and England for voting!
I'll try to update the charts tonight, if WarningU2 can send me the stats.

WarningU2 also created a new voting panel (some small changes for you guys) which we will have to test as well in the coming days. I'll get back on that.

[Russia (DoC)]

(voted)

[Russia (DoC)]

Russia is neither dead nor gone!

Merely suffering from the fever known as internet withdrawal syndrome. Should be cured on the 19th.

Will vote TODAY!

[England (DoC)]

FireFox (Not sure what version), Vista

[Robert]

Thanks for submitting again!
No need to be sorry! You can't help it if an error occurs.

What browser do you use? (brand, version) What OS?

[England (DoC)]

I have voted again. I did exactly the same thing like last time (1month ago when my votes weren't received ) I picked my votes and pressed submit and got an reply "Thank you for your Vote!" with one huge column on the left side with my votes.

I do really hope I succeed this time, again sorry for being late to try again to vote.

[Orb (DoC)]

Is that a threat?!?

Hmmm you seem eager to fight don't you caretaker.

[Robert]

Ok guys, here are the results may be tweaked if Russia or England submit their votes. Their scores will receive a penalty as well if they don't.
Next month all please vote in time! it costs both me and WarningU2 much extra time to redo the tallies and the charts!

The charts are only visible in Firefox (till someone can explain me why!)

Read the "Byz | Rus" listings below the chart like: "1. Byz, 2. Rus", etc.
I had to plac it like this b/c google docs leaves every 2nd civ out of the legenda for space reasons.

All Points (NB. avg = avg / 2)		All avg ratings
All points (2)

Rating Diplo		Rating Story
Rating Attitude		Rating Total
Attitude points		Score points
Story points		Diplomacy points

[Persia (DoC)]

Russia, please read your PM.

I'll be good to Russia. That was my intention already btw.

Yes, I was logged in, but then I logged out and forgot to end my turn, so I had to log back in to end the turn and then I couldn't because you were logged in I wasn't accusing you of being logged in, just meant that I don't understand how the firewall thing works, I guess it has something do with not accepting incoming connections somehow. Since I have uPnP switched on, I was wondering if people had the same problem with me, but you're saying you logged in while I was logged in? So that implies that my uPnP is working, even though I recently had trouble with a friend setting up a direct IP game, so that's surprising.

[Inca (DoC)]

Pardon my freind but you were logged in when i joined. Indians keep me out but indians can get logged in with me. Its a funny thing which firewall keep which person out. I am not able to join to india but India can join me? I think we all have firewalls so why is it differnt for me with India than for India with me?
