| is there athread or anthing which tells me exactly how the scoring system works? |
|
(brrrrrrr)
I believe the mighty centurion Alexus, formerly of the Jedi, has an Excel spreadsheet that will calculate all of this to within a point or two. But in a nutshell:
- ALL of your scores are divided into 30-day blocks from your last submission;
- First game in a block is worth full points. Each additional game's Metaverse points are divided by the square root of the number of games in the block.
- The current block is scored at full value. Blocks age as they are bumped down the list; I THINK score aging stops after 6 months, but don't quote me on it.
This scoring system can lead to some odd results. On the square root system - if you have some games with significantly lower scores (lower difficulty, Tech wins, etc.) it's even possible for a win to REDUCE your score. On the aging system - if you go a full month without submitting games and "skip" a block, your overall score will probably DROP with your first submission (even at full points!) due to aging.
Come to think of it, I'm looking at that situation now (grrr...)

P.S. Congratulations on the achievement, Jedis. If you manage to put some breathing space between yourselves and the farmers, you have a bit of a break before the next challenge - the Euros and their deadly paperwork attacks. Recommend that you take care of them before April 15th. Think about the damage a European form attack could do during U.S. income tax season...
