Frequently Asked Questions

How do I become rated? Simply post, to this thread, the highest level of victory that you ever attained, (Chieftain, Warlord, Prince, King, Emperor, or Deity), in a "single player" game of Call to Power, along with the Nation and Territory that you presently reside. That's it! You'll see your name appear on the above list within a week.
How do the ratings change? See the below CTP Ratings Links section for an in depth discussion.
On whose turn should the Power Graph be reported? It doesn't matter because the Power Graph remains the same during the cycle of the turn. However, we recommend that the 1st player (blue) always report the Power Graph results.

TENPL639_AM Report Legend:

NAT.TR - Nation and Territory of Primary Residence.

PBEM RATING - Starts with an initial value depending upon the highest CtP AI level ever honestly defeated: Chieftain=14; Warlord=16; Prince=17; King=18; Emperor=19; Deity=21. This rating changes by winning or losing to other rated players, (at the *9 turn mark every ten turns), while playing "rated" PBEM games. See the CtP Multiplayer topic "PBEM Ladders" for details on how this rating change is calculated.

-------------------
TEN619_AM Report Concepts:

Win/Loss - A Win counts by having a "higher" Power Graph rating at the ten turn mark during a "rated" game. For example, in a five player game, at the ten turn mark, each player will receive four results - 4 wins and 0 losses, or 3 wins and 1 loss, etc.

Delinquency - 24 or more hours late counts as a delinquency. Each delinquency deducts -0.1 ratings points from player's rating.

Inactivity Adjustment - Players will lose 5/100ths of a ratings point (-0.05) for each month they go without a ratings adjustment, (i.e. remain inactive in the ratings for an entire month).
-----------------
Elimination Rule

If, in a rated game, a player:
a) resigns;
b) changes status from "rated" to "unrated";
c) gets annihilated; or
d) gets "next turned" for three turns in a row
e) has been found to be using bug utilization tricks,

then every remaining player in that game "DEFEATS" THAT PLAYER THREE TIMES (as measured by the normal ten turn phase defeat).

For example, in a 5 player game, the first person who gets "eliminated from the ratings in that game" would be "defeated" 12 times (as measured by the normal power graph 10 turn defeat), (3 multiplied by 4 remaining players.) This equates to an average decrease in ratings of about 2 to 3 points for the eliminated player. The second player eliminated would be defeated 9 times (3 multiplied by 3 remaining players), ... etc.

In the case of resignation or three consecutive "next turns", then that resigned player's civilization will be "next turned" until a replacement player, (either rated or unrated), takes over that civilization's control.
-----------------
Alien Life Victory Rule

If a player wins by completing the Alien Project, then that player defeats every remaining player three times.
-----------------

-2.0 ........ 0.417



*** Turn of Rating Status -- Rule ***
The rated status of a game will be determined at the end of 9th turn mark, (before turn 10 begins), rather that at the beginning of a game. This means that the first Power Graph rating calculation will take place on turn 19, instead of 9. This rule goes into effect immediately, (1-SEP-2001), but does not affect already rated games.


*** NOTICE TO ALL GAME STARTERS IN RATED GAMES ***

Please post all of your turn *9 power graph results to the latest CTP Ratings thread (this thread). (I don't look at all of the game threads in progress.)

Also, a reminder that all APPLICATIONS FOR NEW RATED GAMES need to be posted here with:
1. Official game name;
2. Player list (in turn order) of all players' APOLYTON HANDLES (no nick names please). Place players that wish to be "unrated" in parentheses;
3. All desired rated players must have a current rating -- (please state their initial rating if they do not have a current rating).
4. The current turn number;
5. The turn number you want the game to become "rated".

Well... you're welcome all!

But seriously, if you WOULD like to make a donation, make it to the following...

http://store.yahoo.com/firedonations/

for the fallen New York City Firefighter's Memorial Fund. That would be more than enough reward for my small contributions to the ratings system here. Even 5 USD would help one of the families of the brave souls who tried to save the lives of our brothers and sisters.

What is it with you guys? I wonder how many of you, if only for a nanosecond, imagined those airliners crashing into Centrepoint tower?

You shouldn't laugh too hard, stupid. If you knew your own history, you would know that wherever there were Aussie troops, there were usually New Zealand troops as well!
The fact that British generals used our troops as cannon fodder should be cause for sadness. That said, it's a bloody good quote from Patton.

Anyway, i'll give you the benefit of the doubt, considering you've had a few. I'll even give you extra benefit in the presumption that you were drinking Steinlager

Many aussies got sacked so yippy who gives a **** . What goes around comes around.

Yeah, some bloke bowls a ball underarm at a cricket match, so Air New Zealand sacks 16000 Aussies. Sounds fair to me You're just another delusional Kiwi if you think that Air New Zealand paid 500 million bucks just to bail out Ansett Your mob paid the money so they could own a piece of Australia, and ran it into the ground. Hey, the airline existed for 50 years, but as soon as your lot took over, they died in the arse!

[faded glory]

You mean my quote lung


New Zealand...What are they famous for anyway!? Oh yea.....those are the idiots who disbanded there airforce

I hope they are calling there mercenary pilots back from Ethiopia now that this has happened
