Slynky, did you get my email to add KOTH Grandpakim vs Parabolize? I don't see it listed...

Other than me having used upper/lower case in the game name, it was the reason for the update Last night.

For some reason, when you go to this site, you need to refresh the page to pick up changes. Try that.

Yup! That did the trick.

You'd mentioned that problem before but since I had never had any troubles, it didn't occur to me to try it.

Welcome to the SE4 Ratings system, Excimer-500.

That makes 30 players.

Last item on the "Rules" page reads:

"(6) If you fail to finish a game for any reason, it will be considered a forfeit/loss unless the victor agrees to the reason for the failure to complete the game."

First, we need to decide if Cybersol's drop should be counted as a forfeit. From what I'm guessing, it is believed that real life caused the drop and not a losing position. The other players being rated in this game should state if they feel the drop should be allowed without it counting as a loss for Cybersol.

That's the first item to be dealt with.

Second, whether to allow Alneyan to count the game as a rated game for himself. My personal feeling is that (after 27 turns) Cybersol played enough of the game that it's a bit difficult to give all the credit of any potential win to Alneyan. Or say that Alneyan deserved the loss if it happened. So, my thought is that the game should continue without Alneyan's position being rated. BUT, I think it's fair to hear some other thoughts on this problem as well.

Sooo...?

So it is a complicated matter. Erh... I see, it wasn't exactly the sort of input you expected. If you do want to complicate matters even more, you could consider Cybersol was not the only one responsible for the current situation (and for the outcome of the game, whatever it is), but Primitive as well played a major part. For the sake of simplicity, this shouldn't be taken into account though.

So. I can see your concerns, I do have an asset by taking over a developed position with a strong ally. So it would not be exactly fair for me to earn all points from a potential win. I think I shouldn't be rated in this game then, which will only leave the problem of Cybersol withdrawal for the other rated players to solve.

My two mineral cents worth.
