<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Started the game way before the Ratings system began. I never reported it and I assume Gandalph did not as we never discussed it.

Re: SE4 Rating System
 

Yeah, put me down for another loss in the Ratings game 2 against Gandalph.

I really don't understand how I got so bad at this game. I was never the best player, but I was at least competative. Any more in every game I play I am way behind in tech and econ from the start. I suck at every aspect of the game and get my butt handed to me almost every time. The only way I win is if I get a primo starting position, and even then I find a way to lose unless the opponent has a really sucky starting spot.

It's very discouraging. I don't think I am going to play SE4 much longer.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Geo, dude, I know how you feel. Play a game with Asmala. Then, when he beats you, he'll show you how he did it. I learned a lot from him.

Don't get discouraged...the game's too good! And you may just be having a bad run.

Congrats to Slynky: The new no. 1 ranked player in the world http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Our Challenge match, with these rules:
- 5 planet start
- Full tech
- No intel
- No Stellar Manipulation
- No Talisman
- 3,000 racial points
was played on a grid map without any obvious chokepoints.

The short story: I colonized like mad. Slynky was smart enough to go straight on the attack. Game over at turn 33. Well played by Slynky.

So Primitive since you are free you want to give me a rematch? The wife is watching the Miss America pagent tonight so we might get the first dozen turns in quick. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">LOL,
Its 3.30 in the morning over here, let a poor guy sleep.

Seriously, I would love to play you again, but I have just challenged Slynky to a rematch (full tech game) on a special map. He has first choice for that game (its already on PBW). If he declines, your next in line http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'll post the details on the game in a bit (then I go to bed, I really need my beautysleep)

Re: SE4 Rating System
 

It's a wicked game, Geo! I got lucky (I think). I knew he was out-colonizing me, so I only had one choice...build warships and make the colony count even again (if I could). I think people know I'm a bit methodical and defensive...perhaps it caught Primitive off guard to have me go on the offensive.

I was a good game and had good anticipation level.

Site updated:

Welcome to the SE4 Ratings system, Alneyan!

Three game results posted.
Two games added.

11 Games in progress.
21 players being rated.
27 players in the system (still waiting on Stone Mill and DavidG to join http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

Reminder: Check this thread after joining a rated game or completing one to make sure your results have been posted. It usually happens within 24 hours of reporting.

Remember, this rating system is a fair estimate (I say estimate because luck sometimes plays a part of the outcome) of one's ability in a great game. A player can have fun AND see how well they stack up. After all, aren't we all out to have fun AND see how good we are?

Note for all Ratings members:

I've added my email address below to make it easier to report Ratings matters (instead of having to find it or go to the Ratings site).

Cheers!
