(1) I'll need to get approval of Gandalph and Alneyan and Geoschmo (currently, the only other rated players) since the game has started. They need to email me their private vote. I'll need a unanimous vote to let you count the game. Since the game has barely started, there might not be much disagreement

(2) Please click the link in my siggy and test sending me a message. If it doesn't work, I need to know. Thanks!

I sent out another E-mail (this makes 4). Please let me know if it comes through.
Thanks

How big are the turn files i wouldnt mind a play by web game.

[Renegade 13]

Turn files vary in size immensely. Some are as small as 100 kb, and as large as 700kb or so. But my PBW experience is limited, as I've just gotten into it recently. So those figures could be off a bit.

Let me ask something :

For all the rated players, they have to win the game alone, not as an alliance right ?
If a rated player wins the game in an alliance with a non rated player, this game won't count for him rating wise.

Which means a player applying to be rated cannot be trusted for an alliance in the long term.
Did I get it right ?

No, as far as Ratings for that game go you ignore any none rated players in the game when calculating results. So if a rated player teams up with non-rated players and wins the game he still gets full credit for the win.

However, I am not sure how Slynky would handle a game where a couple of rated players teamed up together for the victory. I imagine he has some calulation for team victories, but I am not sure how it works.


EDIT: I may have spoken too soon. The Ratings rules say it has to be Last man standing. I think you could still team with a non-rated player since they aren't considered for Ratings puprposes, but I guess you can't team with a rated player. At least not all the way to the end.

I'd just be happy if the turns could run . Last turn took me about 20 seconds to do.

(Why oh why do I get into these games with so many players you can ALWAYS be sure the turn will run late because SOMEONE will always be negligent about doing their turn on time?)

[geoschmo]

Once again, sorry about that. Turn is running now.
