New player added: Welcome Simplify!

As to your request to having "Fallen Icons" be a rated game for you, I hesitate to say it is OK. Though you say the game is young, I took a look and I believe it is 21 turns in. I prefer that people who will be rated for a game state so as the game is starting and not after one has had a chance to see what the map holds for them. However, in this case, since you just joined, I think it is fair to allow your game to be rated so long as all the other rated players already in the game agree to it. That is: Gozguy, Grandpa Kim, and Parabolize. They need to confirm it.

Finally, being a bit slow sometimes, please let me know of any games that need to be listed that I have not listed on the site. Thanks! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[EDIT: I see the game now between the "Baron" and Alneyan...I will add it]

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Tks for the response, Parabolize. But I have already received an email from someone who thinks the game has progressed too far.

I understand Simplify's excitement at wanting to get his rated started as soon as possible but in this case, I'm afraid he's a bit too late. To him, I'd suggest KOTH or a Ratings challenge (like I did).

(just some trivial statistics:)

19 rated games in progress (not bad!)
26 players currently in a rated game
No one has gone below 900 points or above 1100 points (yet)

Hope everyone is having fun measuring your skill and playing one of the best games ever made! Special thanks to Geo for PBW...besides the game, it's the singlemost important component that makes all this fun (and removes the tedium of game managememt).

Site updated:

Well, it's been a week since I undertook the PBW Donation Fleet (to help take some work off Geo).

I sent out around 100 emails to confirm information. I took Geo's data and converted it to Access (Ugh!), added some fields, a query, and a report to show a sorted report of who had responded to my email, what their PBW nickname was, and if they wanted their name listed.

I have added the names to the list who have responded and listed those as "stealth ships" who wished to remain anonymous.

Like any human (or Microsoft product), I am likely to make errors. Please review, inform me, and I will correct anything you see wrong. If I listed you when you wished to be a "stealth ship", I apologize, and I will correct as fast as possible.

For anyone who hasn't responded to my email, please give it some consideration if you're reading this.

In closing, I'd just like to say there are quite a few generous people out there http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif .

SE4 Rated Challenge - Gecko vs Belisarious

Gecko surrenders to Master Belisarious. A very well-played game that ended suddenly when all of my planets started rioting due to massive losses in ships, then planets. I had a hard, but brittle, empire. My defeat should give Belisarious a nice boost for his initial Rating.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">There is a challenge thread Here.

You can see what is available or post a game setting you would like. That would even include finite resources (though I'm not sure how popular that is...I've played it on occasion). I think you'll find new players are welcomed and there is usually someone pretty quickly reponding to a challenge if the settings look good to them and if they have a "game slot" available http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I checked my PM (and don't see anything new...also, I have it notifying me by email and have nothing there as well). My email is in my siggy if you need it.

As to the games...

As always, it's possible I missed something somewhere so I spent some time digging around. I see you joined the Ratings system in Sep 1. But I don't see anything in the Anklebiter thread that you wanted it to count for a rating. I don't keep my "deleted" folder in Outlook for much more than a month, so I don't see anything in there about either game. I found some email from Goz but it didn't pertain to the KOTH match between you two.

So, any mistakes aside that I may have made (for which I apologize ahead of time), I'll have to take the standard approach I have done in the past:

Anklebiters: I have no idea what place you are in, who you have met (etc.). But, in lieu of any oversight on my part, all I can say is that if all the other rated players (voting privately to me) agree to allow your participation to be rated, then I will update the Games page to reflect it. I will vote publicly and my vote is "yes".

KOTH: 18 turns have passed in that game and the same option is available for it to be a rated game. That is, if I receive a message from Gozguy saying this game is a rated game. This comment can be made right here as there is no need for privacy.

Once again, if I missed something, I am sorry http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif . I hate making mistakes that affect people's rating. Usually, I respond to people's emails for game Ratings so if you (or Gozguy) can send me a reply you received from me, that will serve as definite proof that I made a mistake. I take this approach with everyone in order to make sure everything is above board and the Ratings system continues to remain above reproach. EVERY person I have "dealt" with in the Ratings system has been without reproach as well.

Gandalph December 31st, 2003 02:45 AM

Re: SE4 Rating System
 
It is I who should apologize as it seems I have not taken the proper steps (and was absent for a short while) to notify you of my intent. I certainly did not mean for it to sound as if you were lax, as you have not been. I greatly appreciate the work you put forth to maintain the Ratings system and its associated web page. My gratitude is yours.

Edit - I was distracted after my first post, but prior to sending the PM. Feel free to check now.

As to people making contributions to this game we all love...people do it several ways: Create games for other players on PBW, operate PBW, sponsor tourneys, share their knowledge, donate money, donate time, make shipsets, design mods, and well, most importantly, join in games and have fun while at the same time exhibiting a wonderful sense of fairplay and sportsmanship. Everyone doesn't have time, or money, or a great deal of knowledge to share but everyone I have played with has done one of the above.

Re: SE4 Rating System
 
To the players in "Falling Icons" who are being rated:

Gozguy, GrandpaKim, Parabolize.

Simplify, who has recently joined the SE4 Ratings system, would like for this game to be a rated game for him. Since the game has already started, I need "permission" from each of the rated players in order to allow it. I realize the decision is based upon current positions, alliances, etc., that is why I asked. It's not fair to let a player count a game as a rated game after the game has started.

So, please email me with your vote on if it is OK with you or NOT OK with you. Your vote shall remain private and no reason is even needed. If I get ONE negative vote, I will just announce that Simpify cannot participate in it as a rated player...no other explanation is needed.

So, let me know...my email is below this message.

Slynky January 2nd, 2004 04:33 AM

Re: SE4 Rating System
 
I have received a negative response to the inclusion of Simplify to the game as a rated player. The decision, as explained to me, was based on the number of turns played in the game so far.

So, Simplify, I'm sorry to have to say the "Falling Icons" game will not count as a rated game for you. There will be plenty of other opportunities... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Kudos to Nodachi for having the guts to join the system and see how he rates and play anyone. He's the lowest rated player at this point (sorry, Nodi http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ), but I'm watching him to see his rating grow.
