When the Games are turned back on... What then????
Will all of my games be due in the middle of the night or something? Will i go cd if i am not here when it happens? Will there be a (at least) 12 hour lull to give us time to get our orders in?

Are they waiting for orders to be processed or is it part of the bug?

Daniel-san, being banned (yay!) has left a reasonable sized nation in this game, is anyone interested? We have the game on pause atm, that plus the downed GameMaster means you should have some time to communicate before the next turn starts.

Kestas has turned off the Gamemaster
"Looks like there are a lot of problems to be sorted out and this wasnt just a one off thing, when I get back in ~10 hours Ill figure out what's going on

Until then Ive disabled the gamemaster so games wont move forward until I've sorted this all out"

Just ignore Diplomat1824’s posts, for crying out loud!
For the last month or so I’ve watched with amazement as this forum has been hijacked by Diplomat1824. Somehow this immature brat has managed to incense otherwise reasonable users of this site and his mind-numbingly obnoxious posts continue to draw the attention of a surprisingly large number of intelligent people who - no offense - really should know better.

Do unfinalized orders get processed when the time limit expires?
Because I had assumed they don't and made some questionable decisions based on little red Xs appearing next to countries with minutes left to go.

Now I'm thinking that they do get processed. The FAQ is silent on the matter.

Mods - please ban the player ...
that requested for GameMaster to be banned. I think he pissed him off! I can't find the thread anymore (wonder why ... GameMaster ...?) but I'm pretty sure it was one of the usual troublemakers - Dingle, figgle, alamothe, aoe3, friendly, someone like that. Perhaps you should ban them all and maybe GameMaster will come back to play ...

New Years' Ghost-rating List
The New Years' Ghost-rating list is ready. The PPSC formula has been changed, to make it much more accurate. In particular the fallacy of expected result>18/34 has been resolved. And.....
We now have a new number 1!

Thucydides: I don't put a 45% win/draw rate down as bad... particularly coupled with a 32% survival rate as well.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
05 Jan 09 UTC
"Thanks for the effort Ghostmaker - prety cool. I would also like to know how you calculate it.

Here are some intersting datapoints:
Average rating = 99.17
Median rating = 95

playing one game and being defeated gets you a 95
2 games with a defeat and a survive, gets you 100

kestasjk has played 75 games and won 7 of them, his rating is 76

Qing Shi Hwang has played 88 games and has been defeated in 84 of them (damn!!) rating = 0

AmestrisState has only played one game, in which he went CD, and his rating is 106

keeper0018 has played the most games on the site at 201 and he's won 20 of those, yet his rating is only 84

it doesn't appear to be rating you versus who you've played, but it does look like SCs are important"

Average rating- it should in theory be 100, but there is a rough edge at the moment which means that in a PPSC game where fewer than 34 centres are owned, in particular including CD Germany and Italy as unowned, there is a small deflation. A proper installation of an automated process would not have this defect.

Median rating<Average rating indicates a negative skew.

Loosing one game gives you 94-6 if against roughly average standard opponents.

Amestris benefits from another rough edge- I haven't added in that you get nothing if in CD, no matter what.

With keeper- Ghost-rating measures, or aims to measure, quality.

Who you play does matter alot, but because most games are PPSC, Centres normally matter obviously.
philcore (317 D(S))
05 Jan 09 UTC
Thanks for the explanation. After just sorting the data in a couple different ways, and only considering the easy cases of 1 and 2 games, I didn't think it mattered. After reading your explanation though, it's a hell of a lot more comlex than I would have thought.

Nice Job on that.
Wow, number 11 :)

Ghostie, I'd also like to point out the strength of League Group E. Ivo_ivanov (rank 1), TheMasterGamer (rank 4), alamothe (rank 7), and myself (rank 11) are all in the same group. I don't feel nearly as bad about my performance now :)

wow I just missed this list ;( I just finished 2 wins and taking a 2 center CD to an 8 center 2nd place - (although taking over a CD is aweful for the rankings and your profile - so I"m not doing it anymore)

flashman (2274 D(G))
06 Jan 09 UTC
Why is taking over a CD 'awful for the rankings and your profile'? Are you assuming that the CD position is hopeless and you end up getting stuffed?
flashman (2274 D(G))
06 Jan 09 UTC
Ah, just read the relevant post: you get nothing from a CD!

Hmmm...

I have taken on a mixed bag over he months - some pretty interesting and reasonable positions, others quite sticky: I am wondering why you cannot get credit for a decent CD effort, is it because your game has been shared?

That would make sense.

A stat showing CD games included might be useful for comparison.
flashman (2274 D(G))
06 Jan 09 UTC
I suppose I should add that, 'I am not a number, I am a free man!'
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
06 Jan 09 UTC
Taking over CD is only bad for you on this if the CD is in a worse position than the starting position, but only because of a "rough edge". Don't let that stop you taking over CDs and making games better.

People missed must have finished games whilst I was doing the calculations.

in both games of round one I am doing reasonably well right now, and seeing how many high rated players are in those games, even surving them will boost me
