<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That is correct.

Edit: Hmmm, maybe that isn't right though. The person that loses the first game and wins the next three shouldn't place below the guy who wins the first game and loses teh next three. I have to think abtou this for a bit.

It depends, if this individual wins against Asmala but losts his three other games, he deserves to be rated higher than the player who losts his first game but wins the three others. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

More seriously, I would agree with Slynky, although I am not sure how you could tweak the brackets. (Except for a score rating of some sort that is)

Re: It\'s time for a new Tournament...Ratings Bash I
 

Ok, I adjusted it a bit. I had to kind of make it up cause normally with a bracket like this you lose one and you are out.

Now if you lose the first game and win the next three you end up with 5th place for the tournament. Below the other 3-1 players that won their first game, but above the 2-2 and 1-3 players that won their first game.

I think this is a fair system. Of course it only matters for tournament purposes. The real question is how many points in the Ratings system will you earn or lose for the tournament. And that cannot be predicted without knowing for sure who you will face. And could be affected by non-tournament games that you finish at the same time, so I can't really use that for a tourney result.

Slynky -vs- Lord Chane: Year 2400.1

No sign of the varmit yet.

(OK, so that was a boring game update. But, hey, the game is afoot!)

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes Asmala, yours was the pilot. The others won't have all those. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif This was the first time I had experimented with iframe tags. I think it worked out rather well.

Grazic's EEEvil EEEmpire Vs Parabolize's Banana Repulic 2403.0

The insanity of EEEmpire Grazic is beyond doubt but wEEE are confused as to the sanity of the "Evil Person" called Parabolize.

2402.3 - The EEEvil EEEpire demands the surrender of the Banana Repblic and wEEE receive no reply.
2402.5 - An EEEvil "big ship" destroys a fledgling colony and wEEE receive no reply.
2402.6 - EEEvil "big ship" destroys a colony ship which attempts to attack our ship. This insane action makes us belive that Parabolize is insane and that we should be friends.
2402.7 - wEEE offer a treaty of Military Alliance and receive a reply saying "alliance? i think not!"
2403.0 - An EEEvil "big ship" destroys another fledgling colony and wEEE receive no reply.

The "Evil Person" called Parabolize, doesn't want friendship. He doesn't create War ships.
He plans are beyond the comprehention of our insane brain. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

parabolize is in BIG trouble:
i have 3 planets with over 90% minerals http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: It\'s time for a new Tournament...Ratings Bash I
 

Now I know you have over 3 planets, so don't try to trick us. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif We did start with a Huge Breatherable in our home system, which is 'still' building Research Centres.

Slynky -vs- Lord Chane: 2401.6

For the game we agreed to standard KOTH settings with two exceptions: no Ancient Race and no intel. The resulting empires are nearly identical. The only significant difference is that Slynky chose Propulsion Experts while Lord Chane opted for Natural Merchants. Otherwise, Slynky's native planet type is rock/none, while mine is rock/CO2. The map appears to be split nearly in half. Can't say how it is for Slynky but I'm finding a lot of breathables.

We met somewhere between 4 and 6 turns ago. The only casualty so far is a ship of Slynky's which ran into one of my mine fields.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">don't wonder - he killed me twice in unicup tournament and once in koth - all three 1:1 games

I would have preferred to play someone else because you know all my "tricks" based on all the games we've played.
