CTP Ratings (17-JAN-2001)

[Solver]

What shall we do with the teams, how do you think? Rate everyone individually?

I don't like the idea about rating teams, as our ratings tables are individual for everyone, not the team that will only play 1 PBEM as it is. I yet think we'd keep rating everyone in team games individually.

I agree with you Solver. We shouldn't rate the teams. The manual team rating calculation that I mentioned is just for whoever is interested in doing the calculation. We won't track or post any team statistics.

[Franses]

I did not want to cause any problems. As mentioned in my post on "Teamhorses" (supposing that this started the discussion) we are all aware that we will be rated individually. This, in my opinion, is the right approach since teams probably won't last more that one game. It should not cause any problems since the players of the team that will winn, will very likely both survive untill the end. And if not, we are playing for the fun of it and the rating too is for the fun of it, right? So, my position is KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid?) for the time being.

KISS to all of you,

Franses

PS: I am not a girl so my kisses are platonical except for the ladies among us.

If everyone accepts this way yes, why not?
If not then you will have to include a seperate rating table just for the teams as you will probably do for my "Young Against Old Blood" game .
Each team's ratings will be calculated from the average of each team's player's rating.
If this or something like this comes to action then we could rate "Team Spirit" too.

[quinns]

Right. Agree with Keygen. Individually rate players, then the "team" rating can be calculated manually by adding the team members' ratings and dividing by the number of members.

Franses, you thriled me, when I saw that.

Thank you Solver.

Hope I have the same effect on females

Hope this is also an answer to the q on Team Spirit.

No, we should not rank the single players, that are participating in team games.

But we might - as we have all the time we want (no CTPII with PBEM) - to rank the teams(!) if we can stick together for a couple of years

I play very well with Aaginor. We are not the best team, but I think we would survive.

Edit: those misspellings (but you know)

Edit-edit: Franses - I didn't read your reply above, not at first anyway . But you must have done something in your past - Darth Viper proves that

BirdMan, you and Aaginor will survive in Team Spirit? Well, don't count on it .

As for Team Spirit it's up to you guys whether it will be rated or not. Seems that I am the only one who wants to!

[Franses]

Even more so, Birdman. I have three wonderfull sons (all from the same mother by the way ).
But who cares about the past. I am thinking about the future here . And please don't tell my lovely wife about lovebird. I might have to search for a hotelroom soon if you do.

O, my goodness. I realize I just gave you a reason to blackmail me in the games we play . O, my goodness, I gave you all reason to blackmail me. How do you edit these messages?

Dutcheese ranking:
Level for Edgar aka Dunk Hunter is Emperor, so I guess 20.0

[Solver]

I assume we then have to rate this Dunk (Drunk perhaps) hunter with Emperor, that is 19, slamp. Rating of 20 can not normally be received as an initial one - well, this happened to Lung and Max Webster, but that's another story.

OK, 19.0 and it's Duck Hunter. I made a mistake
