GOTM #2 Result

Matrix · Apr 03, 2001, 05:50 PM

My priorities are:
[list=1][*]My study. But my exam is over (and it didn't even went well

). I only have to make reports of experiments, but thursday is the deadline. So whether I will be able to finish them before that or not; after thursday, it's over.[*]My girlfriend, not since long and first one ever. But than again, we got all the time in the world.

[*]The GOTM 2 results[/list=a]

As a result: expect them next weekend.

Congratulations on your new girlfriend, Matrix. Take all the time you need. There's no early finish bonus with her, I'm sure

GenghisK has a way of making great comments.

Congratulations with your girlfriend, Matrix. Take your time. There is probably no excitement about who won, but...

Matrix · Apr 09, 2001, 05:07 PM

Ai ai ai, I've made a blunder: I forgot hotrod0823. Luckily he didn't stole a medal from someone or changed the rating too much: he became 26th. But still, such a mistake shouldn't happen again. I'm changing it now (don't know about Thunderfall who has to upload it

).

Great job Matrix.

I do have one nitpicky thing. I thought the global ranking was to be normalized. I would have expected Shadowdale's global ranking number to be 100, not 41.

It is normalized. Only, to avoid this first counting GOTM to become too important, I didn't use the full normalized score, but used the median score of this specific GOTM as old score.
So each persons Global_Ranking_ Score equals on this moment: 0,7*Median_Score+0,3*(Normalized)GOTM_Score.

Dang! Thought I might have a chance to win this thing, but Shadowdale just kicked a**!! That was a great job! I'll be happy to slink away with the silver.

Just you wait... now that I am up to date on the scoring bonuses I'm going to try to give you a run for your money!!!

"Now that you know the scoring bonuses...?"

(Naughty, naughty goodbye_mr_bond!!! [Matrix]

), Kev! You're *already* giving us a run for our money. Looks like it'll be tough for me just holding on to where I am!

(Hey! I didn't know I could swear. I thought there was an auto-censor or something?)

Kev · Apr 11, 2001, 08:13 AM

I'm sorry that I didn't see the pre-censored version

Well, I actually meant that I would try to give Shadowdale a run, but looking at the scores more closely I don't know how that could even be done. In fact, I doubt that I'll be holding any global rank for very long given the level of play I read about from everyone here.

We'll have to see how all of this progresses with the combining of all of the scores. I'm thinking that I am fanatical enough to force myself to play this game every month to try to ensure that I don't drop in the global ranking, but my fiance may have other plans for me.

I know, I know: the GOTM is supposed to be just a casual, friendly game. I am WAY too competitive.

That reminds me - gotta move forward on GOTM #3.

Luckily I didn't participate in this one, or you would've all been blown away!!!!!! Mwahaha!

Question to all the people who got super high scores and finished in the 1700's.

HOW?

And to Smash: How'd you get a spaceship in like 1000 AD?
