Gecko is the first rating person to be vanquished in the Pairs game. His Empire had just recently surrendered to his team mate, and then to took his team mates empire.

Slynky - Can you remind me. Do the rating change when the game finishes or as people lose?

It might happen that two players lose at the same turn in multiplayer-rated game. What result should they report between themselves?

The logic solution was to take the equivalent from chess- draw between them. It adds 0.5 point for both players W in "R = P + K(W - W')" formula.

Se4 Rating Rules states: "The only requirement is that in a multi-player game, it must be a single victory ("Last man standing"). " But then there is another question. Why it must be Last-man standing, if two players can end up with draw? I think that should be left up to players- they should deside that it game settings dicusion what game they want- team victory allowed or not.

I suppose that could happen but I've never seen it. I suppose we have to make an allowance for it, though. The first thing that comes to mind is breaking the tie by who was ahead of the other loser at the end of the previous turn. A draw is a possibility to be looked into.

Assuming we could agree a good tie-formula, this might be useful. Then there is the problem of a 3-way alliance winning the game and everyone on that alliance wanting a draw (among the 3 of them). I'm in 2 team games now and I have already made an agreement (that doesn't involve fighting) that settles the position of the winning team (if we should be the winning team ). But I can understand not wanting to fight among each other.

Hopefully I understand your questions (2 different ones). And it can be discussed.

Having a Tie is not going to happen in the Pairs Game, because only 1 team has both players as Rating members, and we all know that Tesco & Asmala couldn't win a game even against the AI.

Seriously if they do win, they must deciede who the winner is between them.
