The Q Score Derivation has a sentence that reads: "Even the worst game is given >0 points." Aparently I have set a new definition for worst game. To quote my son's favorite movie, Kung Fu Panda: "There is now a level zero."

That is probably related to those <99.9% battle losses. LOL

Well, it scales to 1 decimal place so just pretend that you got 0.04 rather than 0

Actually, it is 0.000. You can't get any lower than that!

I think that should be classed as an epsilon score.

That is ... really impressive I thought the scoring had been adjusted so that this was not possible

well, the problem is 2 of mesix's games don't count towards the average date, so the average date is big BC while most games are AD.
anyway, AP victory in the 19th century is worst nothing if you ask me.

They were just Rock of Ages entries. I was actually going for a UN Diplo win with my Industrial start, but the AP win presented itself. To quote Tom Cruise, "Sometimes you just have to say WTH!"

I just thought the zero score was a novelty. I still got credit for the game towards my Emperor EQM requirements.

I thnk it's what you deserve for an AP victory on a non-ancient start

Out of joke, where is the phantom date? or the Staff have to adjust it?
It's an Emperor win, at least.
