Ok that was fun? Now as the assistant to Gary a volunteer at that, for some time now. Can I get on with the rankings?

Or do we wait for further debate or Solver are you bumping me for the volunteer job?

I have hesitated posting them waiting for the fun to stop.

Solver I understand you are the moderator of the forums but are you saying you also get to pick who volunteers for what job? Or superceed those who do?

Call it quick oh grand pubah because the native are getting restless.

Blackice, being a moderator, BTW, is NOT my primary job. Read the title, my primary job is taking care of this ladder, and this is why I decide what goes, and what doesn't.

Well, if you can continue it the Gav's way, I'm more than happy. I really want to see the program written in about a week, now I got to shake some ppl and see if it's possible - otherwise it is time consuming, hence, hard to do.

LOCUTUS!

Solver,
With all due respect: WHAT?

If I had all the time in the world I would love to help you write such a program but unfortunately I don't. I have file databases to build and maintain, tournaments and succession games to run, news to report, a computer to fix, articles and manuals to write, forum questions to answer, interview questions to come up with (and that's all just for CtP, I have a real life as well)...

I'd like to think modmaking is still my main activity here on Apolyton but I haven't gotten around to that in months... Heck, I don't even remember the name of my latest mod (Play the World or something? )... I *really* can't handle an even more work, there are plenty of other experienced programmers here who could help out. I wouldn't mind giving you some pointers but that's really all I can do...

But once the rankings are posted, I'll gladly make a news item about them of course...

Boys, I think it's time to drop out from the ratings.

First, but less important (for now) is the fact that the ratings are not updated as often as they should be. Before you flame me for that I know and respect the time needed to put up and having them up to date in a regular basis but I find no reason even for the existance of the ladder if there is no time to maintain. Again don't get me wrong, I don't blame anyone but it simply doesn't work.

Second, none of my rated games have been reported since September 2001, only "Happy Killers 2" but my position wasn't good there. You can blame me for not having reported them myself but among having an overloaded schedule in this forum most of the times I do not wish to add the ratings of 13 games in my back. I know, I was posting the rating on all the games I was moderating and playing once and was a great pain in the ass.

Third, having one and a half year of experience on the ratings and the problems that have arised we have done little to fix them. I do not agree with many aspects of the way the ratings work.

Unless we all do something about it consider me out.

If you intend to do something about it let me know.
I might be able to drop a couple of ideas.

Hi Keygen.

Well, it took me less that 2 hours to make that follow up from the 12. april all incl., that I posted 1½ week ago.

If any reports any games, I'll update my list anyway - no matter what.

And I will have no problems on a weekly public update until Solver is ready to take over (just as I maintain our e-mail list until you or Solver have something better ).

I can even make it in 2 versions. My, where all are rated no matter if they want it or not. And the other, where you are "allowed" to take cover and get unrated.

So come on - write your ideas!

Edit:

Could use someone to help me PUBLISHING the ratings as I do not like the use of ..... (dots) to make decent columns. There must some other way.

Keygen, BirdMan.

I was told by Blackice that he will do an update... let him do one official update, that is, the same way as Gav did, and after that, I'm taking it over.

Hmm, really? Crap .

OK, OK, I am taking this over, expect an update somewhere next week. I will be out of town tomorrow, and on Sunday I will spend the day finishing & testing the calculator. I wrote the base for it, so it basically works, but I'd better spend the whole day on it.

Then I'll do an update next week, but there's one thing I need. Tell me what results have been taking in account for the last update, and what haven't been, so I don't mess it up.

Now I'm not only the CtP MP boss, but also the workhorse .

What about Internet ratings?

Think Solver needs someone to hit right now (Faded here. NOT ME - NO - I DID NOTHING ).

Me: No, but Solver needs someone to punish right now, and you are normally ready to sacrifice yourself

Why, to even suggest such a thing would be proposterous!! SDeems like someone should apologize to Solver-The-All-Knowing!!

Np Solver It's all yours.

Like you I have a life I was on some what of a holiday with my daughter the week I took this over. I was gone all last weekend fishing from Friday to monday and worked six days straight 12 hour days. I have two court cases I am preparing and two extensive investigations.
Plus running my own business.

It will take time to sort through the rankings and games to figure out what is what. It's summer everything slows down in the summer. No excuses though sorry for slowing things up.

The next ratings update is due next week. Keep the results coming in, they will soon be updated.

And, of course, old rules are to be used: if you become unrated in a rated game, you take punishment. If you take over a game, you only get rating after 10 turns.

When I take over, I'll post the complete rules again.
