true or false: "your kid is yours, and totally your responsibility."
isnt it time we move forward and stop claiming that we have the right to decide whats best for our kids? or even saying "our" kids. as if parents own them. newsflash - those kids arent yours.

North Carolina Exempts Itself From Constitution
http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2013/Bills/House/HTML/H494v1.html

In short: "North Carolina is exempt from the Establishment Clause, and thus can declare a state-endorsed religion if desired." Thoughts?

Survey as to whether Agent K should be allowed to come back
I figure that this would be the most efficient way to collect the data.
Please vote yes, no, or if you have some specific conditions that you want to specify.

April Ghost Ratings
The Ghost Ratings for April have been posted. But note there have been a few changes... (see inside)
Alderian (2425 D(S))

First, banned players no longer show up in the rankings (Peak and April '13 onwards).

Second, inactive players do not drop off of the rankings until 6 months instead of 3 months.

Third, a category for PPSC has been added.

Note, that due to the first two changes, the April "Change Rank" value will not be correct compared to the March values. And due to player's whose last game were more than 3 months ago but less than 6 reappearing on the rankings, your ranking may drop.

Wow. Lose a game because of multi's and your rank really plummets :p.

One thing confuses me though... In March I was 20th, and in April I'm 37th, yet my change of rank is -11. Am I missing something?
It's probably the people that weren't on because of the three month rule but now are because it's changed to six months

Dang it Alderian, if you'd put the PPSC rating out last month I would have been #1.

Seriously though, those are some awesome updates, especially the removal of banned players. Thanks for the work on these!

Thanks a bunch, Ald.

By the way, are parameters set at the beginning or end of the game? For instance, if I make a gunboat game but on the last phase change it to full press, where will it be listed?
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
05 Apr 13 UTC
Or if we make some tournament games as gunboat so mods can reshuffle them, and change them to full press on the first turn will they be counted as gunboat or press?

Nice work, Alderian, thanks, especially removing the banned players!

As far as changing when people drop off the list from three months to six months, how did that come about? Did Ghost himself approve that, or was there some sort of vote, or are you just in charge of it now? I'm not big on change, and it's always been three months, which insures people have to be relatively active to be on the list (since some games take more than three months)...
josunice (3702 D(S))

Thanks, Ald... Looking at categories is pretty cool, as all my first games were full press PPSC, and most of my recent games have been GB WTA... Has The Czech really completed 1,600 games?
Alderian (2425 D(S))
05 Apr 13 UTC
@abgemacht, the final parameters settings are what is used. Actually it is the current parameters, so if you go and change an old game from full press to no press, then it'll retroactively be adjusted for the no press weighting. And it'll stick out like a sore thumb to me when I compare the new data with the old data so don't be getting any ideas about changing all of your losses to no press.

@MadMarx, Ghost is not particularly involved at this point. It hasn't always been 3 months, there used to be no drop off. It has just been 3 months for several years. Part of the reason for the drop off being added was to get banned players off and now that is handled differently. And I have received feedback from various people about 3 months being too quick since individual games often take that long. So I extended it to 6 months.

Substitute player?
I was wondering, is it possible to substitute a player into a game without needing to miss two phases to get a CD, but that's a long time in which the players entire game plan could get crushed as the players around him would take advantage. I know it isn't possible now, but would a mod be able to do it if needed? E.G. if a player leaves but doesn't want to ruin the game.
