no 100 is fine

Even if it was somewhere other than the Hall of Fame, it would be nice to have access to a list of all members. I realize that is easier said than done. It would just add a little something interesting to the site.

There'll be better search functions in the next release, and I think there's a thread about it on the dev forum, but I'm not sure there.

Nah. The Hall of Fame should be something to be really proud of. I'm just about to fall off of it, but it used to be much less impressive. It's just an indication of the more intense competition now.

How about we trim it down to 10 or 20? :D

id like it if the hall of fame had two lists, one Ghostmakers ratings list and one just points. players that have been inactive for say 3 months should be in a different colour maybe.

I'd be fine with a shorter list if I could also access players close to me. Wouldn't it be interesting to play against the players just above and below you in points? I think so.

Ghost's list should only be included once it's actively tied to the data, as long as it's snapshot only, it will be out of date.

I guess there could just be another page with his listings saying "as of <date last run>" or something.

I think the list should be trimmed, so that only active members show up.

do what ever it takes to get me on there

Should the list be time faded / active members, since the time fade approach will reflect what you have done lately rather than what you did in ancient times?
For example:
Last 3 months- 100%
4-6 months 50
9-12 months 25
13+ months -0-

Or there could be a Grand Prix approach. What that means that the rating lists are frozen each calendar year and then reset to -0-.
So that people compete for the yearly championships in points.

Or there could be both a yearly Grand Prix and a Time Faded approach
and then the Masters Lifetime list which is basically the current functionality.

Just tossing out some different ideas for you all to chew on.

Those are pretty good ideas Edi. I like the time faded approach but I would like to see us adopt Elo and I'm not sure how that would work with Elo.

I'd like to have a use it or lose it policy

I'd like to have something like the ELO added as well, but the points system works fine. Points inflation causes you to drop down over time as it is, without any confusing additions.
For example, back in May I was up to a high of 9th. Since I haven't played any decent games since then I'm now over 8k from the lead!

I would suggest a hall of fame tab at the top of the page, and have a divisions list, like in football, so that beginners can compete in the lower divisions. Perhaps have 1st, 2nd and third division. And keep the same point system, but make the Bottom 50% compete together (political puppets division) then have the next lot compete, and then the top 10% compete. That way, everyone's name can appear and we all get encouraged to play and compete, not just the top players

So how exactly to the points get distributed? How many points does the winner get if everyone has put in say 100 points making 700 in the pot. And how much does second and third place get?

alumbbrados - The formula for a PPSC game is as follows:

Round(Total pot/non-CD SCs) = Points per SC

Surviving Player Payout = Points per SC * SCs owned at games end

for winner takes all, its well, self explanitory.

For a draw its: TotalPot/Surviving players

so in your example say the winner wins with the minimum 18 SCs, and 2nd place is 10 and third place is 6 and everyone else is out:

First (18 SCs) = 378
Second (10 Scs) = 210
Third (7 Scs) = 147
---------------------------------
Total = 735

The reason it's off by 35 points is because the rounding occurs at the time of PPSC caclulation, rather than after the multiplication. in a 700 point game with no CD-SCs, it workds out to 20.588, but the rounding kicks it 21, then multiplies.
