Top 5 Game
OK, here goes this thread about those who should play in a new PBEM game. These are the guys that take top 5 positions in the rating table.
Admittedly, I hoped that this game could be under way by this date, but so far we're not even launching it. Tomorrow is the last day when no delinquency penalties are applied, and the PBEMs will be moving on more quickly. I have just played turn 7 of Eagles at War and turn 17 of the Islands game. IMO, when they reach turns 9 and 19 respectively, we could update the ratings and go for the new game.
Quinns, do you perhaps think we should be waiting for more turns, or not? And another question, that I would like the public, especially the players to decide: will this game be rated as usual, or should we perhaps add a small rating multiplier, so that you can earn more points in this game?
I already own the 5-player scenario that can be successfully used for this game, and it starts right away in the Modern era. Of course, it's possible to modify it at any time. In the scenario, you start with 7 Settlers, 2 cities, and 1 Mounted Archer, 200.000 gold and 10.000 PW. This is for a very lightening start, I think we again should use a rule that no Wonder rush buying is allowed till turn, say, 5.
I'm waiting for the ideas. So far, players taking the Top 5 position in the rating table are:
1. Mobius
2. TheBirdMan
3. King Thor
4. Stavros
5. Blackice
But, this could well change.
Stavros, what about you? You're rated, but don't want to play rated in Do Some PBEM, will you play in this game? I think that if someone refuses, we should shift players up, thus having player ranked 6th enter the game.

, and did have quite a bit to say in puting together the rating system in general (remember, you wanted to wait until a game was Finished!, before updating the ratings)
