| What about reaching 3 million points ? |
|
Breaking the three million points barrier is historically inevitable. However, it will not happen until after the six-hundred game barrier is breached.

Don't like it, reminds me of an eggo waffle. I liked the one before this.

I am now on page 1, at least for a few hours! 
| |
|
| Hey Ric, did you just grab 5th place? WTG |
|
Well, I did until I submitted another 60k game today and then I lost about 500 points to fall back to 6th. I hope with my next game submission, I will gain points again instead of lose points. Sometimes the metaverse is beyond comprehension.

| One more now I am at 602 so I guess 600 barrier is history |

Amazing, must be nice that now you can slow down.

Wish he would, has anyone seen him. Let's leave some snacks out for him, Hey LW, where are you?

Tech, I like the new logo. Looks very good.
I slipped in another game to take 24th. The climb is slow but hopefully I won't be bumped back to page 2 anytime soon.

Tech, congrats on breaking the 600 game mark. I know that you do not plan to slow down until you hit the 5000 game mark!

Technician has a 2 digit ID because he's an ancient being from the dawn of time, perhaps one of the legendary precursor race known as 'beta-testers'.
I like the larger-size version of the new logo, but the miniaturised one is very hard to make out. Why don't other empires have this problem?
I can just about follow Metaverse scoring logic now. I noted down the effect of submitting five 60K games in one day. They boosted my score by the following amounts:
8748, 12085, 11776, 10961, 10294
A steady decrease in the increase, of the sort you expect from submitting lots of games in the same block, apart from the first one, which must have triggered a recalc, lowered my score by about 4000 before increasing it by the normal amount.
What doesn't make sense is the number of games changing without any submissions. I'm sure I was on 98...

Yes, that's it work. The first submit in the day will trigger a recalc due to new definition for block. The later in the same day will just have an influence on the value of the block containing games gaed from 0 days to 30 days. Since you submit games that have a valeur greater or equal to the average for this block, you gain points. And due to squarring effect, you get less points per game each time you submit in the same day.
BTW expect to have some rollercoaster with your score since you have a nice period with few games in it:
- one at 06/24/04
- one at 07/09/04
- one at 07/27/04
So some times you will have 2 games in a block and other time 1.
Not very great for stability in metaverse score.

I'm here, but damoose is on vacation, and that mean he has a honey-do list. Strange as it may seem, he'll be back around more when he goes back to work, per his words.
