I am sure this has been explained, but what is the difference between you rankings and the rankings that will determine the playoffs? :-D
go to the beginning of this thread and read up on it karl… gamer’s rankings are for interest only. they have no bearing on playoffs.

you have more important things to worry about, like the fact that you are losing india this round.

losing India is always a downer… :-( Hopefully San Francisco will win today and I’ll feel better :lol:

Did that answer your question?
Look at the league rules for exactly how the playoffs are determined.
My results spreadsheet is mainly just to provide us all with current results since the mods rarely report the standings. Since I’m tracking all this data, I just go one step farther and do a rough point system based on strength of schedule and equalized for # of games played.This way, you can compare yourself to players who’ve played a lot more or a lot less games than you. Look at the players near you in the standings. For you, Karl, currently that’s Ziggurat and Jeff28. Play one of those guys for a heck of a good matchup!
Yeah, this just provides a lot of useful data that we otherwise would not have. Like who’s played who and who won, all up to date and accurate. At your service! :-)

So, if you want to see the league standings, just sort my spreadsheet by WIN % and pay attention to the minimum # games played requirement (what is it, 8?)
I sort them by PPG because it’s like my “Power Rankings” just like the sportswriters do. Sportswriters “power rankings” do not have any effect on who actually goes to the playoffs, of course. That is according to league rules. Same thing here!
That reminds me…. TheDesertJournalist had this really cool idea about if someone would be a “reporter” and watch a lot of the league games and write about them like a reporter - to alert players to compelling games or situations.
For example,
Boldfresh boldly crushes India!
With 20 infantry and tanks that seemed innumerable, the Japanese army descended on the fortresses of India last night, certainly changing the tides of the war. Or did it? Tokyo itself is staring at 3 battleships, 4 loaded carriers, and a host of smaller ships based in the Aleutians, threatening to strike a death blow to the Evil Empire…There would of course need to be certain controls in place to ensure objective, fun reporting that doesn’t step on anyone’s toes. I suggested that each article be submitted to the players for approval before publishing.
I think the main obstacle is getting somebody to be the reporter. Anyway, you guys just made me think of that idea I saw a while back. Props to TDJ

Sounds good. Too bad, you don’t get paid! :lol:

That would be nice, but I’m just doing what I enjoy, and enhancing my own A&A experience… -
I need to talk to Jennifer about minimum game lengths for forfeits.
be careful about your recommendations and how you implement them. if there is minimum then players can purposefully take advantage.
you can do a very risky G1 attack, get bad dice and then abandon the game, and not be penalized.
-
Right.
Well, it’s cheap to claim a win when you haven’t done anything and the other guy just goes AWOL when you’re not even done with half of round 1. I guess we’re on the honors system for that. -
I call it disrespectful instead of “cheap” to start a game and never respond again after PM and offers to call it off. But I guess we have our own definitions.
I suppose any time I have a bad G1 I’ll just ignore that game and it won’t count.

it’s a tough call - perhaps it should count as a loss for the player who goes awol but not a win for the opposing player.

These personal opinions were not pointed just at you, believe it or not. I’ve seen it multiple times with the G40 league. It’s a big game - takes a long time to play especially for people who are inexperienced. People start a game, lose interest, life happens, whatever.
Do you know why the person never responded again? If not, you can’t call it disrespectful because you don’t know that. Did they show up anywhere else on the boards? If not, they probably just bit off more than they could chew and lost interest. Whether or not your opponent was “disrespectful” or what, I fail to see how that has anything to do with your decision to claim a win.
Look, all I’m saying is I wouldn’t claim a win as Axis after J1 just because the other guy was a no show. Unless you had a blistering G1 and J1 and you really think he bailed because he didn’t think he could win.
None of this matters - there’s no reason to argue with me other than you feel defensive because I called it cheap to claim a win after your opponent did nothing but an R1 where they couldn’t even cross the border. Your “big win” is going to count in league play and help you get into the playoffs. I’m not going to count it here, but that doesn’t matter because my records have no influence on actual league or post-season play.

I backed off of saying that there should be a minimum length of game before they count.
I took another quick look at your “win” over Noll, and I see that you had an average or worse G1. You had an uneventful J1, only attacking China and losing a couple infantry. He didn’t even download the J1 map! All he did was give you a scramble decision for Z110, buy some stuff and move it around in Russia, and quit playing.
How is that a win? :-)

Assigned rankings of 2 or 3 to some of the players I had left with ? marks
This caused a slight tremor through the rankings…If you defeat a previously unknown player and that’s the only game they’ve played in the 2013 league, I am assigning said unknown player a ranking of 3…
