The recalc that was allready done is very impressive. It gives a much better reflection of the players competance. The recalc has not been done on the beta 1 and beta 2 scores as almost everyone in the top 20 is there because they played a lot of these beta games. If you are allready planning to do this recalc, can you please drop a note as to a ballpark figure when it might be done. Thank-you.
We don't want to lose you Vulcan2. All I am trying to do is give suggestions and point out exploits on the metaverse that can be corrected to make the metaverse a fair representation as to the overall skill of any player. Myself and qwirk have a few disagreements as to what changes should be made, but I dont hate him either. With a few more changes on the metaverse every player will have an acurate assesment of their skills. As you get better and beat the game at the higher skill levels and
To JT Qwerk : This is strange. I finished 3 games in a total of 1/2 an hour and posted them . They were all labelled as cheats. How come yours aren't being labelled. They removed my cheat flagged games. I guess you are not finishing them quite quick enough to be labelled a cheater. I know the strategy you are using as do many other competant players. Also, you should try to beat the game at the harder levels before you give advice to players that are consistently posting conquest victori
The second place player in the metaverse still has some ridiculously high scores for games played at the beginner level on the betas before 1.1 was released. Have the betas been recalculated? Please look in to this. If this is still in the process a quick note would be much appreciated. Thank-you and keep up the good work.
Hey why dont you join the B.C. Space Orcas We will easily make the top 10, probably higher after the recalc.
Just when you think you have conquered a planet, out from behind its' sun come a hoard of gigantic Doom-Ray equiped killer whales. This is enough to send even the most fierce Drengin running with his tail between his legs. I invite new and experienced players to join with me to take a run at the top. I have found different ways to beat the game at the suicidal level and am willing to give advice to anyone that wants it. I will change my meteverse name if someone joins my empire that is ahead
Thank-you for removing the cheat flags. I started with close relationships. I do not like to play 5 minute games but I was loking for a way to climb the metaverse ladder as I am frustrated watching my ranking drop every time I post a suicidal military victory. The overinflated scores people have posted by drawing out games that could have b
I have not made any modifications to anything. I went for a quick alliance win to see if the scores would record to the meteverse. Please erase these cheats from my record as if the game accepts this style of play without any cheating then the scores should count. Either that or disable the option to start with all races having a CLOSE relationship to selcted race. To be labelled as a cheater for finding a new way to win quickly is not enjoyable. If you do not want us to win this way, change
I hate to sound like a broken record but my previous posts remain unanswered. When is the meteverse going to be retroactively recalculated? It has now been over 2 weeks since the release of 1.1 and we were told the recalc would be done upon its release. All I am asking for is a ballpark figure as to when it might be done. Thank-you
I agree. I have placed 4 posts to this matter in different locations and have not received an answer. All we ask for is an acknowledgement of our request. Is anybody out there? It has been 2 weeks since 1.1 was released, and still no recalc. A timeframe as to the changes is all we ask for. You have not responded to any of our posts.

This was one of the secrets I wanted him to work out for himself. We shouldn't give a noobe too much info too quickly. He may encounter information overload. We also want too maintain our edge so when the recalc is done we can forge ahead. Bye for now.

This is what works for me. 50 % research is enough. Set your pre-game diplomacy at max or near max. This will enable you to get the most for all of your tech trades. Research things the AIs' arent researching. As soon as you have researched a new tech, trade it with everyone. Go through all the races with this new tech then go through them all again, trading the new techs you have acquired from the previous trades. Also remember to get as much cash as you can from them as well as the tech
I am also having this problem since 1.1 was released. It really starts to slow down when attacks are taking place.
We were told that the recalc would be done right after 1.1 was released. All we are asking is for someone to tell us approximately when it will be done.
Please let us know when you plan to have the metaverse scores recalculated. A lot of us are getting discouraged watching our scores and rankings drop every time we enter a high difficulty win. Please, just a rough estimate. I have posted this request in 3 other threads besides this one. Can any one give me an answer. Much appreciated. Bye for now.
Has anyone heard when the recalcs will occur. When they do we will take the lead as most of us play at a much higher difficulty level than the other empires. My last 6 games have all been won at the maso or suicidal level and entered on beta 3 or later. I just want to see my scores increase instead of watching my ranking steadily drop evry time I post a new score . Please recalc soooon. Bye for now.
I agree. A lot of the competitve players are very interested in the metaverse. It sounds like the new scoring system will give a much better representation of all the players skill. All we want now is a ballpark figure as to when the recalcs will occur. Soon I hope as myself and many others are getting discouraged watching their scores drop every time they enter a win. My last 2 wins have been on the suicidal level and I have dropped 15 positions by posting them. Bye for now.
I appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing and am excited to see the scoring changes. Can you give me a ball-park figure as to when the recalculations will be done. Thanks
#50 by JT Qwerk Tuesday, March 21, 2006 6:10 PM Trolling Insightful arghhhh... i just explainmed ... why do people think that short games should score more please read my message above... if my theory is correct i could finish a game in about 2 to 5 turns... and that certianly isn't what i call playing the game... and should not be rewarded because you havn'tr maxed your population.. researched all techs .. created ma
My main point is there is no accounting for difficulty level. I have seen a score of over 300,000 for 1 game on a normal diff. Level where i received only 66,000 for a painful level millitary victory. It is not at all like GC1.
I have an issue with your scoring system. I recorded a beyond mortality victory at the crippling dificulty level and only received about 24,000 points on a large map. I came across another player who is ranked in the top 10 who received 112,000 for a millitary conquest victory at the beginner level on a huge map. What is the incentive to play at the harder levels when you get 4 times the points playing on the easier levels. Can anyone justify this.
Are we going to be able to post our scores soon. I haven't been able to for the last 2 weeks.
For some reason I can not post my game, I actually finished, tonight. Had no problem posting all my crappy little scores in the past.. Wassup.

Why dont you start with your own race and start with the techs you want to start with. You can be anyone you want to be. You arer allowed a certain amount of tech points you can use anywhere, same as when you decide whether you want to boost research, diplomacy, weapons. Loooook at all the option screens in the race setup and find out what you can do before you complain about things you think you cant do, but you really can.
