I build on Glacier. NO PROBLEM!

I build on Swamp. You pollute and sink my city!!!

I run out of land. I CANNOT BUILD!

Nothing more that I can possibly do about it.

Well - I didn't say they wasn't better than 19.000 - but they are surely not worse

A lot of people have been disappearing into thin air..

Hi, I'd like to also be in your ratings. I have beaten deity level back when I still played single-player.

So, do you rate only games where all players are in these rankings? I am playing Lung's fast PBEM and noticed that all the other players in that game are also on your list. I'm also playing Monkey1 and Monkey2 where some but not all players are on your list. Let me know if you need any more information from me.

[TheBirdMan]

Paul, if you crush me in Monkey 2 - just to get a better rating - my revenge will be of no mercy. Your dutch regimes in other games will be in great danger

Unfortunately I cannot object to a rating different than 21.000 to Paul. Not yet.

Edit: I will accept Lung Fast to be rated if accepted by other players.

As a matter of fact - all games I'm in, I will accept ratings (even Monkey 2) if wanted by others.

Hello Paul, glad to get you on the ratings! You'll see your name show up in less than a week.

Regarding new or converted rated games:

Please have the Game-Starter e-mail me (steveq@gte.net) and Solver (ugita@latnet.lv) regarding your desire to have your game rated. State the name of the game, the "rated" players that will be involved, and which turn you are currently on. At least two rated players per rated game must mutally agree that the game will be considered rated. Not all players need to agree to the rated nature of the game, but it would greatly lessen the confusion if all players per rated game were rated and all agree to the game being rated. (I.e. rated players do not have to agree that the game is going to be rated, they just won't be counted when ratings are calculated.)

[Stavros]

OK... It seems that we (at long last) have a result from one of the games (R2_islands I believe).

Question: Why did my ranking go down even though I'm not in that game?

I liked the format of seeing wins and losses in the table, it provided a bit of perspective....

[quinns]

Stavros, sorry about the change in format, but it was starting to become very cumbersome to update. You can see all the results, by referring to the link to
MATCH601_AM_M mentioned above. It shows all wins and losses along with the delinquencies.

There is an automatic deduction in the rating system for inactivity. That is, -0.05 points per month of inactivity. Most of us got hit by this adjustment on 1-Dec-2000 when November closed. I didn't mention it before, (because I forgot it was in the program, honestly ), but I think it is good to leave in this adjustment. It encourages participation in playing and discourages those that would like to rest on their laurels instead of playing.

I'm just happy that I'm not bottom of the table anymore.
