The reason I mention this is because I have seen it happen and that situation gets old fairly quick for the higher rated player. OTOH oh well thats the way the Space Empire crumbles.

Just an observation

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's a good observation. I would hope it wouldn't happen like that and that positioning in the game would be what dictated what players did. Certainly, if the 2 highest rated players in the game are across the map from each other, it's difficult for them to gang up on, say, you if you are beside one of them.

Also, notice that I mentioned (well, if I didn't mention it, I meant to... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) the best situation to play a rated game under was one-on-one. But, I didn't want to prohibit multi-player games. One must make the decision about whether to have a multi-player game count toward one's rating when one enters such a game. So, playing a rated game is entirely up to each person.

Thanks for mentioning it, however.

BTW I did not see/observe/or notice and way to indicate that you are in a rating game. Or is this the way to make notification?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">To make sure you (and anyone else) understand the notification about being rated, if you and Gecko are starting a game and both of you would like it to count in the Ratings, then all I need is a message informing me from you and him. I prefer email but I have been using this thread as notification as well.

I joined to the Pairs game and I'd like to be rated of course.

Added Asmala to Pairs and a KOTH game for Gozguy and Gecko. Have I missed anything?

Just a reminder:

(1) The loser must report the loss; and
(2) For multiplayer games, remember there must be one clear winner (either by death or by mutual agreement in cases where players have worked together to achieve victory.

We only have 18 players in the rating system. I was hoping for 25-30. There are a lot of good competitive players out there who I thought would jump at the chance to see how they rate. It's not KOTH (which has its own special magic) but it's a good way to see you skills rated.

Well, anyway, give it some thought, guys.

Welcome to the SE4 Ratings System, Roanon and Chronon.

Added Primitive to be rated in the Pairs game.

Good luck to all !

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, I'm going to add him in just a bit. I saw you message about him after I had done the update this morning.
