I sort of get the 1st big hit but why does continue on and on. Would discourage people from upgrading and coming back to the Meta. Somethings not right.


Indeed!

I don't want to quit, but with things the way they are, what's the point. I admit I'm a competitive person and the points do matter to me...if they didn't matter there wouldn't be any points to worry about. There isn't any good reason for Stardock to do to me what's been going on. There's no way what happened today could be related to aging. I'd challenge anyone to explain it to me, but I don't think anyone can. Honestly, it wouldn't make any difference if they could because no explanation would make it right. If Stardock corrected it and adjusted my score that would be different, but I don't see that happening. At least I'd be very supprised if it did.

Greldon;

I'm really sorry this is happening, but to echo the sentiments of my fellows, "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US"! I really enjoy the banter in here and it just wont be the same without our top ranked Knight to lend us at least moral support.

On a different note, "Hello page three, nice to meet you, I'll be leaving you soon for page two." (Special thanks to LW, Greldon, and all for the Mod advice!!! What a difference!!

Out for now to go maso on the galaxy!

Greldon, I am going to try to run your numbers and see what I see for a total. And I can run your numbers from before you returned if you wish as well.

But above all, please don't leave. Just drop by and talk every once and a while, or at least go to the Embassy. Please, I'm tired of people leaving because of system problems. I miss the people who don't come around any more.

Thanks VoT...Please do...I'd like to know what you come up with.

Good night, Weyr.

I've tried to pretend like it doesn't matter in the past, but it does matter and I feel like I'm being raped repeatedly.

Could be damoose poking you from the hind end trying to get a bite.

I don't think so....I've never even whacked him.
besides, he'd take pieces, not points!

Big time!!

I just really hope that Stardock would come back to you and explain the reason or adjust your scoring back to what it was, but the problem is when there is some problem occurs, Stardock people got tendency to dissappear or go on "holidays" or any other excuses thay can make of not to answer and not answer the question we've asked. It just buggers me! I still didn't got the answer why i am pure good, while i am truely Chaotic Evil, i sent e-mail to Cari more than week ago, and she havent replied!

Just try to put your last effort to this, Greldon! i know for sure i would be now with a boiling tempreture if this would be happening to me! I mean, so much effort, so many Dr. Peppers + Pringles been eaten to get those metapoints and NOW what you get is decaying! Just unbelievable!

                        
#14911  by Veteran Grand_Admiral_Thrawn - 7/26/2004 10:22:20 PM

I'm sure GH could find out. I wonder if that started here or at the Canadian Thread? Probably here.

Greldon, going to try now. This might be fun since I am quite tired. Might have to wait until morning. I'll run the current numbers first.

                      
#14912  by Citizen Greldon - 7/26/2004 10:28:12 PM

Thanks VoT...I'll check here tomorrow, get some rest.

Thanks for the support, Attila, littlewotts, VoT, Weyr and everyone. I will check in tomorrow.

                          
#14913  by Citizen littlewotts_ - 7/26/2004 10:32:56 PM

Talk to you tomorrow Greldon.

                          
#14914  by Citizen _Attila_ - 7/26/2004 10:37:12 PM

Good night, Greldon!
And i better go myself to bed aswell...

As EDie had mentioned, there are some "beasts" lurkig in the house who might take some cables and i'll be stuck with Tele!

night night everyone

                        
#14915  by Citizen littlewotts_ - 7/26/2004 10:39:24 PM

G'nite Attlia. I'm off to get some reading done.

                          
#14916  by Citizen loopcub - 7/26/2004 10:39:30 PM

Hi everyone
I just got home and can now post. Can someone please give me the rundown on what is happening here.

                        
#14917  by Citizen littlewotts_ - 7/26/2004 10:41:07 PM

Can someone please give me the rundown on what is happening here.


We've add 5 new Knights to the ranks, Naqmir, ED, Attila, GH, and Weyr. I've be promoted to Lord Knight to help Theoden when he is away, and we've open our new forum at the Embassy.

                          
#14918  by Citizen loopcub - 7/26/2004 10:43:01 PM

I cannot get access to the Hall of Guardians in the diplomatic embassy. I chick on it and it says that I am forbidden from this site. Why?

                        
#14919  by Citizen loopcub - 7/26/2004 10:50:19 PM

I fixed it sorry for the false alarm.

congrats to everyone who got promoted


                        
#14920  by Citizen Chipperoo - 7/26/2004 11:24:25 PM

LW, I've got something to report for GG ears only. I don't want to step on anyones toes in the embassy by posting in the wrong forum, where should I put it? (By GG ears only, I mean only a SLIGHTLY embarassing oversight that probably should not be seen by the entire meta community).

                          
#14921  by Citizen Evil Druid - 7/27/2004 12:14:52 AM

All the forums in the new guardian halls our guardians and honaries only at most. So safe enough in any. Where all just getting the feel of it. I'd say the loft and bar one would be my choice.

                          
#14922  by Citizen Chipperoo - 7/27/2004 1:46:05 AM

ty E.D. I will put it in the Loft then...

There's no way what happened today could be related to aging. I'd challenge anyone to explain it to me, but I don't think anyone can


I take the gauntlet.
First, there is a huge gap with 47 days without submitting. This is very huge.

The killer fact is that you have a block without any game in it. It is responsible for high variation if there are a few games in it.

Thanks for the analysis of Greldon's games, VoT. As Greldon said, understanding the math doesn't improve the results
