That's it! You'll see your name appear on the above list within a week.

TENPL642_AM Report Legend:

NAT.TR - Nation and Territory of Primary Residence.

CTPI RATING - Starts with an initial value depending upon the highest CtP AI level ever honestly defeated: Chieftain=1400; Warlord=1600; Prince=1700; King=1800; Emperor=1900; Deity=2100. This rating changes by winning or losing to other rated players, while playing "rated" Internet games. See the CTP Multiplayer topic entitled "PBEM Ladders" (link above) for details on how this rating change is calculated.

------------------------------

CTP Internet Rules:

1. All desired RATED players must have a current CTP Internet Rating before starting the game, (see above initial rating determiniation).
2. All players must agree on rated status, settings, and victory conditions, before starting the game.
3. No bug utilization tricks will be allowed. Any player found to be using those tricks will be ejected from the CTP Internet Ratings.
4. No "unwelcomed" harassment of players is permitted during game play. Players who violate this rule will be ejected from the CTP Internet Ratings.
5. All disputes will be adjudicated by Quinns, (unless, of course, Quinns is participating in the game in dispute, in which case an alternate judge will be chosen before beginning the game).

----------------------------------

CTP Internet Recommendations:

1. Rated Game sessions are recommended to run between 2 and 4 hours. Continuation dates and times should be established before ending the session.
2. Rated Games are recommended to be played at the KING difficulty level.
3. Rated Games are recommended to be played with: 3 Settlers, 1000 Gold, Pollution On, Blood Lust Off, and No Wonders.

-----------------------------------

Inactivity Adjustment - Players will lose five (5) points for each month they go without a ratings adjustment, (i.e. remain inactive in the CTP Internet Ratings for an entire month).

I have absolutely no objection to playing Gavrushka

I do see him all the time playing other people...but if he has an open time slot on his schedule.

We can dance






I also believe I owe blackice an apology for flaming him for no reason. I dont know what had gotten into me... I was very tired..

but thats still no excuse

[faded glory]

I think me and nukeboy may also want to go 'rated' with our games. Currently my marine/tank armees are about to trash his muskets........that could help my rank alot


outta curoisity quinns, how do you rate internet games? Same as PBEM ones?

[Gavrushka]

Saddam, okay we play. Quinns is up for a game?? Do we want a 4th player?

I will host and do a turn by turn save, the zipped files will be sent to all at the end of the game and moderated by someone... I am delighted you wish to join the Internet ratings, good to see!

Remember we do not play with bugs or tricks at all - makes for great gaming!

Quinns a time??

[quinns]

Saddam,

Internet ratings are calculated almost the same as PBEM ratings with a couple of changes. The internet players have asked to go from a 2 digit to 4 digit rating system. So, for example, instead of a player being rated 20 they are rated 2000. The calculations and adjustments are identical to CTP PBEM, except everything is multiplied by 100. The other major difference is that the rating calculation is only done at the END of the game in Internet games, not at the *9 turns like in PBEM.

As far as being rated in Internet play goes... great! But both you and Nuke Boy need to agree on your game being rated. Once it is completed, report it on this thread and I will record it and process it along with the others. BTW, what was the highest defeat against the AI that you have had? Also, ask Nuke Boy what his highest was as well. Thanks.

Gavrushka, we posted simultaneously. Sure, we could play on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. (1800), or Saturday at 7:00 a.m. (0700) (Los Angeles times). Let me know if those times are good.

i am central daylight time in America. currently it is 1:40 here...2:40 in New york citys...etc


I live in Wisconsin,USA btw


No gav, I dont know about teams...nuke needs some work yet (and im not 100% he will even be available)...

But ill talk to him being my teamie and if he has many hours of time.

Tho I would prefer just all vs all or 'let everything go with the flow'. And whoever ends up allies, will be allies ...

Also im not 100% sure nuke boy will have very long to play, he usaully doesnt.. we play in 1-3 hour increments usaully(I can play for 6 hours usaully)... So if you guys can find someone else (who has long time to play and is reliable) if you guys know of someone else to join our 4 player melee, I suggest asking


Ratings sure

[quinns]

Alright Saddam, I will put both you and Nuke Boy in with a starting internet rating of 1900 each, (defeated a/i at Emperor Level). This was the rating that you both came into PBEM, initially. So unless you state otherwise, you will be rated at 1900.

See you Saturday at 0700 my time at the Cali 12 Server. That's 0900 your time Saddam (CDT), and 1500 Gavrushka's time. See you there!

P.S. And Gavrushka, you are NOT on GMT! You are on BST which is one hour ahead of GMT (GMT + 1). We made that mistake before and got fouled up. Remember? Apolyton is also wrong with their claiming to be GMT with their times. Sheeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz!

I think I know why this confusion exists. It is because half of the year, London time DOES equal GMT. But when London goes on Daylight Savings Time or Summer Time, it jumps ahead one hour, while GMT remains the same.
