G40 League House Rule project

[gamerman01]

Looking briefly at the R7 map between RGP and Snake, it looks like a contested game, and Snake’s last post was July 22.

I’m going to wait a bit before I count it in my rankings…
RGP appears to be entitled to a league win according to league rule #5.
I will note it at the bottom for now

To count it as a league win due to delay, it has to be posted to my inbox and/or to the league results thread.

I decided it’s time to count RGP over Snake in the rankings -
I only hesitated to count it before because it looked like he had barely timed out and he had been pretty active for several months

Anyway, doesn’t matter, I’m counting it now

[seth4god]

Man, it looks like I’m right where I belong in the rankings. I’ve won only a single game against players ranked higher than me and have conversely only lost a single game against players ranked lower.

I appreciate the observation -
I actually have noticed that this is quite true of several other players as well

It’s amazing how well it works, considering it’s pretty simple

[gamerman01]

I count 346 results where a higher ranked player won over a lower one, compared to 73 losses

That’s .826, or nearly 5/6 of the games.

You could say that on average, a higher ranked player will beat a lower one 5/6 of the time.
Seems the rankings are very accurate!  Who needs ELO?!  :-)

[seth4god]

I’m only 1/8 against higher ranking players.  :cry:

Need to turn up the heat some . .  . maybe I’ll beat both you and RGP who has shot up the ranks to #2 atm!

[gamerman01]

Well you need to start rolling better for my defenders, and not so good for yourself!  :lol:

i bet the percentage goes way up if you look at series wins and not individual wins.

[gamerman01]

Yes, no doubt.  There are very few series wins of a lower ranked player over a higher one, and where there are, the lower ranked player is very few ranks below the higher.

It’s working out great.  This system will no doubt be used for the foreseeable future

Just an FYI: Snake has been on holidays for the past 3 weeks. According to a post in our game it came up at the last minute so he may not have been able to send it to all of his opponents. That may explain the delay.

[gamerman01]

Thanks - I can certainly undo it if he comes back and they finish

not sure if I should post here but for the record keeper, I should have 2 victories vs mryogen.  I guess one might not have been reported.

I found both of them posted in the game results thread, so I must have missed one of them.  It’s included now.
I’m glad you caught it

i see i have officially slipped to tier 2 status.  if we stay with the tier we begin the year with, then i just want to apologize in advance to my 2014 opponents.

:-D

special apologies to hobo, arathorn, hank13, allweneedislove, cow, and gargantua.  :wink:

[seth4god]

Damn it Bold, you were my one tier 1 I’ve beaten so far! Now get your butt in gear and notch some more wins and get yourself back into tier one!

[boldfresh]

nope, the rest of the league year is jammed with KICKING COW’S MANGY BUTT.  the league year served it’s purpose to get me into shape to crush that idiot and soon it is going to finally come to fruition.

sorry seth - next year buddy!

[boldfresh]

i will be notching a win against commander jenn, but i don’t think that’s gonna bump me over 3.5.  :lol:

this is the game where i gave jenn a 48 bid.  i was right that a 148 bid would have been more fair.  :wink:
