Guys: Ray is doomed to failure. Not only is this The Nemesis of Ray talking, but, the scoring is like Final Fantasy games. One can only power up to 99,999.

I think I'll just play another game. Looks like Staffa isn't interested to race to 100k.

And a warm welcome to our newest Fellowship member, ricbayer!

His contributions and those of our existing members have helped the Fellowship over 800k. We are now a mere 23k behind GROSS. That's a huge improvement from the 100k gap that we found ourselves just a day+ ago.

Oh yes, Barry. Apologies on not sending anything on our website to you over the weekend. I was too busy gaming.

Would definitely send something over to you as soon as I can.

#649 by Citizen Gengsta - 7/27/2003 4:49:37 PM According to my estimation, submitting the game tomorrow should increase his numbers significantly - around 800 points. Sometimes that is even more than people get for new submissions.


I am almost certain that resubmitting does not change the date.

IceMole,

Let me try submitting and revert to you so that our knowledge in this area is complete.

Your work in this area is really useful.

Hey, maybe someone should write a simple program to allow us to see our new total score by throwing in a game. Or the game score needed to reach a certain total score. Wonder if anyone would do this.

Good idea, Ray. My assertion only comes from calculating Code Monkey's score (i believe he mentioned that he had resubmitted quite a few games) without trouble.

I'm not sure a program would work too well for this. A console app would be easy to write, but hard to use. A windows app would be really great to use but rather hard to put together I think.

I've just started to use a speadsheet and it seems to work well. Mine is a bit messy, but perhaps if someone made a nice one with careful instructions?

                      
#656  by Citizen Gengsta - 7/27/2003 8:51:11 PM

An excel spreadsheet should work very well. Use several summations and it should work really well. Just a big long list of scores and dates. Although you will have to create the groupings by hand.

True dat yo. Check out my former Anomalous score from July 6th that I resubmitted a couple of days ago. The date didn't move, nor the 'block' for scoring purposes.

You are going to have to rock out another game, Ray.

Ray,

As per Metaverse Scoring 3106 MWF 9:15am Williams Hall 216...

Ray's Metaverse Score after 48 games:

Block 3 - 85% - 4/3 to 4/26 - 9 games - 2261
Block 2 - 90% - 4/27 to 5/27 - 11 games - 6305
Block 1 - 95% - 5/28 to 6/26 - 12 games - 30542
Block 0 - 100% - 6/27 to 7/27 - 16 games - 60862
Total 99970

For your 48th game to push you over 100k in the Metaverse rankings dated on the 27th of July, it needs to be at least 19828. For your 48th game to push you over 100k in the Metaverse rankings dated on the 28th of July, it needs to be at least 12654. I suggest adding on a few hundred points to be sure... or play another game.

And in conclusion... it's not my fault! Don't turn me into a cat!

Hey Zyrixion (Miles),

Great story. Really appreciate your efforts to write stories in our thread. Keep it up!

                        
#660  by Citizen J4 - 7/27/2003 10:25:22 PM

Finally finished my first game in 1.05. Higher scores. Played Tiny/Challenging and scored 5000+ hmm. Now it seems worthwhile playing Galactic, so will start a galactic size map.
Later,
Joe

                    
#661  by Citizen Gengsta - 7/27/2003 10:29:28 PM

It's J4!

Go for it Ray. Get that 100k. The jury is still out on the scoring process, but if you could finish a game before midnight CST, it would help to figure out how blocks are formed.

                    
#662  by Citizen Gengsta - 7/27/2003 10:40:08 PM

I think I'll just play another game. Looks like Staffa isn't interested to race to 100k.


Spoke too soon, Ray - you better hurry, else Staffa will just steal it out under your nose. You'll need 8k if you play tomorrow, but for today it could be 14k or it could be 8k.

                    
#663  by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 7/27/2003 10:57:48 PM

Hmm, from your the list of your scores, it looks like if you had just waited one more day, you would have had it.Resubmit the game tomorrow.


Why I'm shocked. A Fellowship member suggesting a total cheeseball tactic? Why everyone knows only the GENERIC G.R.O.S.S. empire would even suggest such a thing. (Gasp) By golly gosh what have we come to?





                          
#664  by Citizen J4 - 7/27/2003 11:01:09 PM

Wow, Ray is close to 100K. This is good news. Good luck ray

                    
#665  by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 7/27/2003 11:05:13 PM

CONGRATS TO THE MIGHTY STAFFA!!!! FIRST TO BREAK 100K

Ray looks like I had it correct. He's always one step ahead of us....I'd say lets switch games so we could be first on its ladder but he's probably already there waiting on us 20 games in hand.

                          
#666  by Citizen Gengsta - 7/27/2003 11:08:01 PM

J4: It's quite impressive. The Fellowship is also much larger. I believe you were here long before my time. How are you doing.

Also I need some feedback. Anyone want to make an appearance in the WotW. I also need to get more Middle Earth races into the story or invent a couple new ships - special ones powered by dragons or something.

We could have the trolls do something. Maybe even the orcs. The eagles were definitely part of the LOTR, and what about goblins. Anyone know if theses creatures can be tamed?

                    
#667  by Citizen Gengsta - 7/27/2003 11:11:01 PM

See with trolls, you have that bit about being afraid of sunlight and that doesn't work too well.

With orcs, you have that whole hate the elves and humans thing. Especially the elves.

Goblins have no problems I know of, but they are usually chaotic in nature and can't be tamed.

Eagles and dragons are an idea, and I can make up a way for them to fly in space.

It goes without saying Ray that congrats are in order when you break 100k. I may not be around when you do. It's no less an achievement to do it second than first, or 50th for that matter.

Echo that Ray - as someone who is NEVER likely to do it, I'll be waiting with cheers too.

"Great story. Really appreciate your efforts to write stories in our thread. Keep it up!"

Hey Ray I left the empire because I felt I wasn't making many friends besides yourself and wasn't up to par skill-wise. I am really appreciative of the help you have given me, and if you think I should rejoin let me know.

                
#673  by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/27/2003 11:45:07 PM

You should most certainly rejoin, Miles.

It takes time to get to know people. You have shown yourself to be one who wants to be active in the Fellowship and I'm sure all of us appreciate that.

And who is saying anything about skill levels in the Fellowship? Only Staffa is inborn with the ability to beat Maso in his sleep. All the rest of us learn the hard way, from playing more and from people who are more experienced than us.

Rejoin us Miles, the Fellowship needs our battle song singing warrior monk-bard.

                        
#674  by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 7/27/2003 11:52:50 PM

Miles. As Emporer of G.R.O.S.S. you could make many friends over there. We also don't give a hoot what your par is skill wise.
Though I cannot speak for another, I don't think Ray does either. So you might also wish to consider rejoining the fellowship.

It's all where you feel most comfortable. But even if you remain a lone wolf in the metaverse, keep in touch.
