CTP Ratings (21-DEC-2000)

[quinns]

Well Keygen?? How did you do???

[quinns]

I assume that there is no more quarrel with the new ratings rule proposals mentioned above. If no other objections surface, then these proposals will become official rules as of 7-Jan-2001.

[Keygen]

I hope you have received my email regarding my victory!
I would like to see my score rising to the 21000 points !

[quinns]

You lucky devil!!

Alright, as soon as my home computer is working, I'll update your rating to 21 (not 21000 you optimistic program tester!!) . The "." is a decimal point not a thousands separator.

I wish I could rerate myself... I destroyed Deity by the year 1806, but it's too late now. My initial rating was set awhile back, and once set, it can only change by rated game play.

Congratulations Keygen!

Quinns, you evil! I will now be afraid of you, as I will never beat a higher level, now I don't almost play CtP SP.

Ha ha ha Solver! EVIL??... no. PEACVIL, not EVIL. The computer A/I attacked me first and even violated a trespassing agreement! Can you believe it? For that, all civilizations had to be destroyed... I'm sure you understand.

Lung's Fast Game is at turn 99, so the ratings can be updated. Current powergraph order:

1. Romans - Birdman
2. Germans - Stavros
3. Aussies - Lung
4. Indians - Jon
5. Dutch - Paul

[Keygen]

And just in time. A couple of days more and I would stick in Emperor and 19.000 points

Is Team Spirit going to be rated?
It's on the 21 turn and I would really like to see it rated. I am in a good position currently (first).

[St Jon]

I would request that for the next 20 Turns I am counted as 'unrated' in Fixed as I have inherited a not altogether healthy position. Effectively I will be being 'rated' for the policies and play of another player rather than my own.

If Slamp, Thor, Frazer and Birdman are in favour of it then let DC become rated. Neither Slamp or Frazer are involved in any other Games and will simply lose points for inaction which does not reflect their abilities.

Like Fixed I understand if Thor and Birdman wish to delay, or refuse, their listing as they have both come in as Subs of Civ's occupying the lower half of the PG.

[Lung]

Damn! You beat me to it! Anyway, i've sent a screenshot of the powergraph to Quinns, although i wonder if i needed to go that far

[King Thor]

KABOOM! And he's back to square one.

So much for the 'King'.

[quinns]

You'll be back Thor!

Keygen, Team Spirit has to be submitted by Stavros (the game starter) with a list of all "willingly rated" players (in the turn order of the game), along with the turn number that rating status is desired. The submission should be made to this thread. I check it regularly.

[Stavros]

I'm not sure if Team Spirir should be rated!!?? I'll talk to the players. I think TS is a bit of a special case since it is a team game, and I'm not sure how we should rank it. After all, one team member may sacrifice stuff (gold, tech, men) to the other, in order to help his teammate. This would hurt his individual ranking while furthuring his cause. No One player can win. Only a team. So I'm not sure if it is apropriate to rate these games.
But (as always) I'm open to discussion

All that is necessary is to do what Paul did above -- (i.e. a listing in order of PG ranking). The screenshot is only necessary if someone in the game contests the order.
