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

[Robert]

Inca, first you say 'agree', now you say 'disagree'. Which is it?

This is not a dispute. We just found an error in the score mechanism. If people are against it we'll continue the old ruleset and leave the error in place. It'll make the game a tad bit boring, imho though.

[Inca (DoC)]

Just we stop disputes and accept original rules. We all had chance for argument at the start of game so why now do we argue about it?

[India (DoC)]

This might be a very important question however my small brain can't see the difference...

I vote for Yes because you might know what are talking about, but I think the question is wrong.. or at least is not giving the full picture.
..because:
A: ratings of all month's summed together, biggest number wins

or..:

B: the same as above except we look at the average of those ratings (ie A/number of months..) except B doesnt say that we look at the categories independently in each months-which we should.. so if that is the question then definately A-yes

[Inca (DoC)]

Keep it way it was at the start as agreed. No need for changes.

[OzzyKP]

I dunno if it matters whether you guys vote with your DoC account or your real account, but it needs to be consistent or some people could vote twice and no one would know, hehe.

[Rasputin]

I don't really care either way.

voting anon for a rule change is silly

but i with Blackknight, i dont care about how you vote

[Black Knight 427]

I don't really care either way.

[Robert]

Yes, game score is the 4th category. I only included the change. The rest remains the same in the change suggestion.

Let's indeed al vote using our DoC account! I'll reme my vote and vote later again using my DoC account.

- YES: 1 (6,66% of players, 100% of voters)
* Inca

- NO: 0 (0% of players, 0% of voters)

- ABSTAIN: 0

[Inca (DoC)]

Robert,

I am hoping game scores is also part of the total? I think that your idea is the best with 4 as average not 1-7.

Does that mean i vote a or b? I agree with you so add my vote to whatever one is a or b.

[Robert]

Ok, let's vote on this.
All please vote within the next 48 hours from now. Those who don't vote will be registrated as 'abstaining'. Which effectively means their vote won't be counted.

66% must agree for the rulechange to happen.

The proposed rulechange is:

- Every month all players will get a score for 3 categories (Storytelling, Diplomacy, Game Attitude) based on the average rating they received for each category for that month.
The end score per category will be based on the sum of all month scores per category.

This differs from the current situation where the end score is based on the average rating of all months summed together.
Please vote using you DoC account!

I've asked WarningU2 to not look into past months ratings before we've settled this, which will last at most 48 hours, or less if people vote asap.

[mzprox]

Any non met tribe or tribe that has not been seen to be involved in diplomacy or war etc should gt a 1 not a 4

but that jsut my Opinion.

Very bad idea imho.. Robert, can I modify my votes? If I'm getting 1s diplo from Ras I'd like to rate his civ the same

[Mali (DoC)]

My only thought on your rating scale for current game Robert, is that 4 should not be the "Norm"

Everyone should rate on a scale of 1 - 7 for each section.

If the person you rating isoutstanding vote 7 and work back from there to lower performing and NON MET tribes. Any non met tribe or tribe that has not been seen to be involved in diplomacy or war etc should gt a 1 not a 4

but that jsut my Opinion.

Why should a civ you haven't met be penalized by giving them a 1? By letting 4 be the norm, it allows all civs a balanced starting point and can move up or down based on their actions.

If you give me a 1 because you haven't met me in the game and I am a complete ass to you, you have no room to lower your rating of me since we aren't using negative ratings.
