That's it! You'll see your name appear on the above list within a week.
How do the ratings change? See the below CTP Ratings Links section for an in depth discussion.

TENPL639_AM_I Report Legend:
NAT.TR - Nation and Territory of Primary Residence.
CTPI RATING - Starts with an initial value depending upon the highest CtP AI level ever honestly defeated: Chieftain=14; Warlord=16; Prince=17; King=18; Emperor=19; Deity=21. This rating changes by winning or losing to other rated players, while playing "rated" Internet games. See the CtP Multiplayer topic entitled "PBEM Ladders" (link above) for details on how this rating change is calculated.
------------------------------
CTP Internet Rules:
1. All desired RATED players must have a current CTP Internet Rating before starting the game.
2. All players must agree on rated status, settings, and victory conditions, before starting the game.
3. No bug utilization tricks will be allowed. Any player found to be using those tricks will be ejected from the CTP Internet Ratings.
4. No "unwelcomed" harassment of players is permitted during game play. Players who violate this rule will be ejected from the CTP Internet Ratings.
5. All disputes will be adjudicated by Quinns, (unless, of course, Quinns is participating in the game in dispute, in which case an alternate judge will be chosen before beginning the game).
----------------------------------
CTP Internet Recommendations:
1. Rated Game sessions are recommended to run between 2 and 4 hours. Continuation dates and times should be established before ending the session.
2. Rated Games are recommended to be played at the KING difficulty level.
3. Rated Games are recommended to be played with: 3 Settlers, 1000 Gold, Pollution On, Blood Lust Off, and No Wonders.
-----------------------------------
Inactivity Adjustment - Players will lose 5/100ths of a ratings point (-0.05) for each month they go without a ratings adjustment, (i.e. remain inactive in the CTP Internet Ratings for an entire month).
-------------------

*** NOTICE TO ALL GAME HOSTS IN RATED INTERNET GAMES ***
Please post all of your game results to the latest CTP Ratings thread (this thread). (I don't look at all of the game threads in progress.)
Also, a reminder that all RESULTS FOR INTERNET RATED GAMES need to be posted here with:
1. Official game name;
2. Order of Finish of all players' APOLYTON HANDLES (no nick names please). Place players that were "unrated" in the game, in parentheses.

That's great Slamp! Saturdays turn out to be a good day for world wide internet matches. If I have a match scheduled, I try to start at 7 a.m. Californian time, that's 4 p.m. French time I believe. I don't like to play any more than two or three hours max per session. The good thing about this is that you can play the first 80 turns in about 3 hours moving at a moderate pace. And our "rated" games won't put time pressure on anyone, (usually caused by impatient internet players who ALWAYS say, "Can you move faster please?", even if you are moving at less than 1 minute per turn). Internet play is 1000 times faster than PBEM play, but it is still enjoyable... in a different way. The breaks, in between game sessions, gives you time to work out a deeper strategy and do the "off board" diplomacy.
That makes three so far. We just need seven more... Come on Gavrushka, Blackice, Birdman, Franses, Darth Viper??? You all expressed interest in rating internet games (without depending upon Game League). Here is your chance!

Hi Zobo,
The ratings will only change when the game has completed in an internet game. So the frequency is once per game.

Thanks for breaking the news Mark G!
And I think we have 6 now. jpww, quinns, darth, franses, slamp, and zobozewarrior (i think). Just 4 more needed to set this up!!
And good luck Franses with jpww's suggestions about the firewall.

Thanks jpww. I will try as soon as it becomes available (some sites can not be reached to day, one of which is this one).

Unfortunately the site referred to by jpww did not help me out. The problem seems to be that I do not know how to define a UDP mapping service. I am able to define a UDP protocol using the right port but the proxy server does not let me bind that to an external server (just does not see an option like that). Can someone help me any further? I am using MS proxy server version 2.0 on a Windows 2000 server.

With Gavrushka, Swissy, and Keygen, that makes nine. CLOSE ENOUGH!!
WE HAVE LIFT OFF!
I will set this up the same way as the CTP PBEM system with some rule changes. The "internet" player names will have a "_I" (for Internet) at the end of their Apolyton Handle. For example, GAVRUSHKA_I and SLAMP_I.
Our first CTP Internet Ratings game is underway as well, with Gavrushka, (Blackice), and Quinns competing in "Three Old Gits on Islands".

Keygen, I accept your challenge. Like Quinns I prefer to play two hour sessions. I can play on Saturdays from GMT 8.00 to 24.00 or somewhat later if necessary. I can generally also play on other days (if I know beforehand) from GMT 20.00 to 24.00 except on Tuesdays. Sunday is in general not possible for me.
I suppose we accept the rules as defined by Quinns at the top of this thread?
What is the CIV lite mod? Do I have to install something for that?

All times are GMT. The time now is 05:14.
Apolyton Time is 00:14. |
