3rd Apolyton CtP2 SP Tournament: 1 August - 1 September 2002

[Maquiladora]

Oh ok then, i guess the more entries the better.

[Shadow]

A suggestion... (to Loc and others)

I've noticed a few people saying they can only play the MP or SP tournament. Why not just keep running the SP tournament (a fourth one), but make the timing over a 2 or 3 month period, that way more people may be able to fit in both MP and SP.

[Dread_Doomfist]

finished the game...just walk into the last city of the polynesians..don't remember the city-name yet..

GOTCHA!

[mapfi]

Even though 2 or 3 months would allow more people to play the tourny I think it's a bad idea. The tournaments are also responsible for bringing some life into these pages, but in 2 or 3 months the thread will probably die. Furthermore we'd have to wait for the ranking a rather long time.
If anybody needs more time he can always submit his game later for the unofficial ranking, can't he?

[Repistes]

[Locutus]

Exactly, mapfi. Not everyone participates in the MP tournament, what are the others going to do in the meantime? If I can help it, the SP Tournament feature will always be here, for many months (perhaps years - but you never know what the future will bring) to come. If a few people have to miss 1 or 2 editions, surely that can't be all *that* catastrophal... Especially not since they can always submit their savegames later, unofficially (I'm still playing the 2nd Tournament myself, which I missed due to PC problems).

Dread_Doomfist & Repistes,
Cool, thanks for playing I will process the savegames later today...

[mapfi]

Looks like we got a new specialist for high scores, Repistes. So Jesper, you're going to beat that?

Agreed. Once a month is a good time table. Plenty of time to finish the game, but if you can't play that particular tourney game for whatever reason, you don't have to wait forever for the next one to start.

Okay, savegames processed:

Repistes' game intrigues me: much less cities and pop than Martin, yet a significantly higher score. I can't quite pin down what gives him the edge...

Anyway, congrats to both players on their (preliminary) top 3 endscore

[Maquiladora]

Well hes got one more feat, 3 more wonders and 2 more advances there... and a faster end date. i dont know the scoring system back to front, i never held much to a high score, so i wouldnt know if those things would account for the extra points.

Have a look later perhaps, i often dont have time for a high points chase, maybe next time though.

I will!
After reading this curent standings I captured the last city for a test: over 30.000 points and it is 2069!
But I dont know if I can beat the hall of fame highscore ...

So long
Jesper

[HuangShang]
