Didn't read your post properly, Quack. Yeah, the idea's yours. Can we say great minds think alike?

(do i really have to add a j/k?)

I might be slow but I can still tell when someone is trying to be funny or malicious.

I'll start the bidding $20 (US) for just one additional meta verse rank for 100 000 plus points

. Stand back! I have a Credit Card in my hand and believe me, I know know how to use it! . . . I'm being semi serious here . . .

What goods money anyway? You just end up spending it on food and clothing.

Nastavnik has a low ID - 581. Let's see if he gets a recalc. Current scores 4483/4462.2

Nastavnik has been recalculated.

Well, I can say with certainty that IceMole, ID 1553, has not been recalculated. My list score will be 64073 with a 13th calc, 64312 with a 14th calc, or 64671 with a 15th calc.

#1178 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 12:02:52 AM

Rear admiral rank. Drool...

I'll add US$20 into the pot.

Nastavnik has been recalculated.

Well, well, well. I think IceMole deserves recognition for spotting our latest major meta-recalc.

That could be the reason why Theoden said he got upped to 91 rank without submitting. A dormant oldie did get recalced down.

Seems like recalc will increase your score, IceMole. Does it basically reward active players and penalises dormant ones?

#1180 by Citizen EBZeroMatrix - 8/14/2003 12:07:07 AM

Hmm, and I'd thought I was close with 100k@100 games

#1181 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 12:08:51 AM

Close to what? Rear Admiral?

Don't think they have been implemented, EBZ.

#1182 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 12:14:20 AM

BTW Quack, I think I got my Veteran together with Staffa due to that over the "trade goods nerf/traded techs not showing up in research log" incident. Frogboy probably felt bad and decided to up us to Vets.

If it is not that, it's probably because I'm a fanboy.

I heard there was a fellow who got promoted as compensation because his harddisk got wiped by a buggy version of Stardock Central. Some compensation.

I laugh all the time at the stories Killa writes about me (for those parts I understand

The effect is completely dependent on the pattern of submission dates and scores. However, in general, on average, score potential should increase for 15 days after the most recent submission, then sink for 15 days leaving the score much lower at 30 days post submission.

Of course, with so many potential score patterns, the max can occur almost anywhere within that 30 day period. My highest potential, for instance, will occur September 3 with 73583 list points.

Well, I'd rather people contribute money to the campaign, instead of food that's rotten by the time it gets here, or clothes that don't fit me.

As for my two cents, I wouldn't mind seeing more long-service stripes for the game-churners. Another medal for winning on maso (the level no-one was supposed to win on, IIRC) would also be nice.

Actually, I'd like to see the scores for getting the medals bumped up. They might have meant something on the original scoring system, but 1000 and 3000 score cut-offs are nothing nowadays.

"I heard there was a fellow who got promoted as compensation because his harddisk got wiped by a buggy version of Stardock Central. Some compensation."

I would've thought a Purple Heart would be more appropriate there

#1187 by Citizen Free Tibet - 8/14/2003 12:39:40 AM

Thats a good point 'mass demotions!'. Well its gotta happen (original wins were what about 200 tops?)because I mean there are only a few higher ranks left. I mean there really is no where to go after Field Admiral except maybe Galactic Emporer, but the Empires already have a title like that . . .

know what I mean?

Sorry I said 'I mean' so many times, Subconsciously I must really mean what I'm saying?

#1189 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 12:41:02 AM

Wow! That's a good 17% increase from your current score, IceMole. The monthly blocks do really make alot of difference, don't they?

(the level no-one was supposed to win on, IIRC)

I believe that was the intent. That's why the difficulty for Maso keeps getting upped even though there is only a handful of folks who still play at that level. AFAIK, the only beta tester who managed to beat Maso then on Tiny was Solitair. That's why I feel Frogboy dislikes Maso gamers like myself. Probably thinks we are trying to break the system or something.

Actually, I'd like to see the scores for getting the medals bumped up. They might have meant something on the original scoring system, but 1000 and 3000 score cut-offs are nothing nowadays.

Agree!

#1190 by Citizen IceMole - 8/14/2003 1:15:33 AM

Alright Kit, tell me now.How many 25k games does it take for me to reach 200k?

Kit, if you are going to take up the challenge of computing my targets for 200k, assume that I submit a 25k game every 3 days from my last submission.I know I'm a sucker for punishment.

The real sucker for punishment is the moron who actually works this out...

List score breaks 200k September 6 with 205059

Player page score breaks 200k September 12 with 202640.5

A few minutes ago, when I got to Ray's original post, I pulled up his scores and grabbed my calculator. Then I thought about how much time it would take me to get the answers. I'm glad you did it IceMole. Now I can move on to more productive wasted efforts.

***OXYMORON WARNING SYSTEM ACTIVATED***

#1192 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 1:33:20 AM

Thanks IceMole!

That's eight 25k games. Though on Crippling, I might not get 25k per game.

It's actually fewer games than I thought. And that's an average overall increase of 7.7k per game. Quite a big jump.

I better get started soon.

#1193 by Citizen IceMole - 8/14/2003 1:44:56 AM

This was actually was quite easy with my new score calculation spreadsheet. With most of Ray's scores already there, it probably took less than 2 minutes.

I think the spreadsheet is just about ready for general use though I'd like to see someone test it first to see if it makes sense to anyone other than me. Any victims...er volunteers?

#1194 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 1:48:28 AM

Me!

Send it to me at

#1195 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 1:53:23 AM

Welcome to the Fellowship, Funstr!

Glad you took up my invite.

Do come in and say hi to everyone.

#1196 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 1:53:51 AM

Thanks IceMole! Package received.

#1197 by Citizen IceMole - 8/14/2003 1:54:35 AM

Hmm. I forgot to mention that this should require Excel 97 or something compatible. I hope that won't be a problem.

#1198 by Citizen KitWarrior - 8/14/2003 1:56:20 AM

I don't have Excel. I am spared. Praise be to Bill Murray.

If you have something already... excuse me. My wantons are sticking to the bottom of my pot. This is teflon! What the heck?!?!

Um... if you have something already set up in Excel, then by all means, IceMole, please take all other score calculation requests. My fingers go numb after punching a few dozen scores into my Power Puff Girls calculator (there's nothing wrong with having this!

#1199 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 1:56:31 AM

No prob at all. I've opened it up and I'm reading the instructions.

Thought you would save me the trouble and send one already populated with all my scores.
