MP VS League - Page 2

I was thinking of a chessesque system. Everybody starts with a specific numerical rank (1000 or 1500?) and after playing the rank is modified depending on the rank of the opponent.

I do not know the exact maths behind the system but it should be easy enough to find.

Also (again if enough are interested) there could be tournaments. these would have a direct impact on rank and the placing of players would of course be recorded (how often a player has won.. gotten 3rd and so on)

Tournaments could be of all flavours. They could be designed like a sports tourney where every nation is assigned one player who then dukes it out till being knocked out (again this could be point based or just "knockout" style like the soccer world cup) or players could pick a new nation every game.

If enough time/work was put into it then we could eventually have statistics (how often has a specific nation won, how often has player x won with nation y and so on)

All just thoughts

I think I know the system your talking of and used in both Chess and Go tournaments. Sadly I've forgotten how your meant to work it out. Actually something like that is also used over at Conquer Club.

Makes for a great gain, if you bet someone with a whole lot more points.

I'd be interested in about a month. Not so much right now though.

Sounds fun! I'd join up.

I'm only in three MP games now. A bit down from my normal.

So yeah, this sounds like fun. Count me in.

well basically all we have to do is get the system set up. ill start working on it this week. until then players can always just ask other players for 1 on 1

its really great fun.

I would also be interested to play 1v1

but there was a 1v1 league once also with an ELO system, and it died a rather fast death due to noone being interested to play games.

one problem with 1v1, is that some nations are just *not meant to be duelers. Eriu anyone? MA Atlantis?

Why?

obviously a skilled player can win with anyone in theory, but it seems that in blitz games certain nations, especially bless nations get a whole lot stronger, even with easy research, unless the map is pretty huge. I could be wrong here, but i don't think easy research makes up for some nations that are horrible in the early game.
