Hi Mauro.
Your English is pretty good, so I wouldn't worry about that, your spelling is not to hot, but then again, can't spell correctly either and English is my language.
You have checked out the Ratings, KOTH and some of the other Tournies that have taken place?
The only downside to this idea, that I see is the amount of time. Each game would take awhile and for the Last 20 person game, even on 48 hours would still take months to finish.

It is a good idea. I suggested something similar with the SEIV Olympics. That didn't fly either:
1) Lack of intereste
2) Overwhelming obisticals
3) I missunderstood the responce I got.

I wish you luck with this.

Knoble idea, but I don't think it will go far because of past attempts to do simular things.

Besides, we all know who the top five winners would be.

Atrocities
Primitive
Fyron
Geoschmo
Gryphin

Uh well, Geoschmo sucks, Fyron probably won't play, and Gryphin probably won't have time. But the first two are possibilites.

Baron Garzic :
I wouldn't care of the amount of time. Also the Chess world championships go long without a time limit... strategy games naturally need long times in order to estabilish the REAL winner. Yes, i put my eye on some of the other tournaments, i think that KOTH system is not a good system and that's because the 1 vs 1 games are completely different from the usual 5-10-15-20 players games...

The best five players ?
Obviously my brother ! He's the best player i had ever met, he easily defeats me, and i'm a good experienced ex beta tester player.
Another incredible player ? Thomas Pfister! I encountered him only once, but he hit me a lot. However, only a real challenge may say us who is the best player ;-D

You got that right (well, the part about me, anyways). I don't really care about being the best or any of that bunk. I only joined survivor 2 cause it has the potential to get really... screwey... in the later stages.

There are a bunch of people you missed there AT...

But think 1 vs 1 is more fair to determine who is the best player in terms of SEIV skills.
Sure, in games with more players does exist other elements, like diplomacy of course. But very often, I saw 2 or more guys attacking other, just because they think he's the best player, or just because he had the bad luck to do not find an ally.

IMHO, the SE4 Rating System and KOTH are the best way to measure the skill of the players.

Think you should join to the SE4 Rating system and play 1vs1 games or a game with 5-10-15-20 players: you may find many other great players...
