Is it soooo hard to read this thread?? A competition to prove once and for all who is the WORLDS greatest CTP player.. The prize USD 500 for the winner, and MAYBE a shiny trophy too..

I still see Faded Muck-a-ruck..I mean FG is slow to read a column, But seriously, he will be tough competition!

I aint, but then again, i dont cheat like some folks do. I seen lots whom dont, juct lots whom do!

That sending turns to an independant source would be good, ifin someone had time to look them over?

I believe that, as the big CtP MP honcho I could also have some sort of a decision here .

Of course, nothing called Cheat will be allowed, and this does include bug exploits, like the rush-buy exploit, multiple improvement one (didn't know bout it before).

Gav, you sure you want a standard everyone vs everyone system? Maybe we ought to try something with play offs and finals? But then, it will limit player numbers... so maybe not!

Solver I really want to know who is the best in the world... a Tournament will never do that... In English Football I support a team called Middlesbrough - they regular kick Man Utd Backside - but never finish above 9th or 10th in the premier league.... The problem being is that certain play styles work very well against some players but terribly against others... so if we only play a few of the players, you only know you are better than those particular players..... Who is the best has been bugging me for a long time, and I really think this is the only way to find out.

I would agree that it is essential for you to steer this whole competition, but a Tournament simply would not answer the question satisfactorily.

Good points Gav. And I'm not a damn American, so I know what football is .

Ugh... I guess then it is waaay too soon to think about any prizes that Apolyton admins would give the winner.

Another concern is, can Internet games be kept PBEM-ish enough so that the PBEMers wouldn't pale in comparison to Internet gamers.

[Gavrushka]

Americans.... Soccer.... they couldn't even beat the Republic of Ireland!

I think it must be kept in the spirit of PBEM or it is unfair... By that I mean there should be no time limit for a turn... It will frustrate the Internet Players, but they must understand that PBEMers play very differently.... Whereas Internet Players can set a build queue and let it tick away, a PBEM player is used to manage their whole nation city by city turn by turn.... They of course should be still allowed to do that....and BTW I think I would put my money on Paulno1 or Dragon to lift the top prize....

[Gavrushka]

I think there has to be a time limit for people to enter thsi competition, say two weeks??

What do you think Solver?

[Solver]

The news item has been posted, so let it be like that, fine. I'll top this thread now, so that people see it.

[Gavrushka]

Thanks Solver!!

How do we handle qualification Solver?? Should there be some prequalification for unknowns.. as I will be in the competition it cannot be for me to say! .. I would personally vouch for Nukeboy!

[Solver]

.

Good point Gav. Can we really pre-qualify somehow? What about only letting people with intial rating of 21 here (that is, those who beat Deity). Because it's obvious that those who didn't beat deity don't classify to be the best.

Would be cool to have a comitee for deciding, but everyone's in, can anyone be in the comitee, except me, then ?

[Gavrushka]

Your decision is fine with me- I feel that you are the only one that can choose with absolute neutrality, if I chose, I'd allow just the Newbies in, win, and spend the prize money on loose women...

[Solver]

Ah, so you're only thinking women ?
