Man, you guys (GOTM staff) are really cookin' now. Thanks.

gervond · Mar 27, 2004

congrats as always to the winners.

You know, if any of you could post a detailed timeline. this would be great.

I was so pleased to achieve a 100K victory only to learn now it was "the lowest scoring one".

I am still OK with this of course (who wouldn't

) but I just can't seem to figure out how to 'boost my numbers'.

I must be dreaming, but last time I saw this thread SirPleb had the silver medal and Justus II the bronze one. What happened to Offa's result?

Justus II · Mar 27, 2004

Congrats to everyone, especially SirPleb :goodjob:

, as I continue to learn new things from each of his games. A special :thanx:

to the GOTM staff, as I know it has been a little rough for them but they seem to really be on track now!

I don't have a detailed timeline, except for the QSC, which I have uploaded and linked below. I did, however, post pretty detailed (OK, wordy) reports, in the Ancient and Middle ages spoiler threads. Hope they help. The ironic thing is, one of the keys to my success in that game, getting the Great Lighthouse, started out as getting beaten to the Colossus. I'm glad I didn't win that wonder race now! :lol:

Getting the results service running efficiently again is a wonderful thing.

Thanks to Alanh and the staff for doing this. :goodjob:

Well done to all the medallists once more. I particularly liked Gozpels 20K.

Offa's game was for GOTM29 and slipped past us. It will be in next month's results.

Your dream ... my nightmare! One of those where you wake up feeling as though you've just hit the ground at terminal velocity

It was entirely my error but, thanks to Offa's rapid feedback, we were able to correct it reasonably fast.

My apologies for any inconvenience.

Thak you Aeson. AlanH, no need to apologize

Ditto.

Us Quality Control people gave Alan assurances that everything was alright and that we were ready to publish. :blush:

But lets not let that issue detract from the overall results. It was very close at the top, and looks like domination was the 'best' victory condition for this map. The other highest-in-class awards were also pretty good.

To threadjack slightly (again) - although no need for anyone else to do it

: On the subject of timelines, from the feedback we're getting, the QSC is still extremely popular, and I'd just like to let people know that we will continue to support it. You have seen the improvements that we have made in getting the results and global rankings sorted-out, well, the QSC is next on the hitlist.

Excellent news! :goodjob:

BTW, your mention of the global rankings reminded me to check it out, I'm glad to see they have been updated as well.

(However, Offa's result is showing up there as well, you might want to double check that

)

I had quite a surprise myself when I saw the initial results, not least because I hadn't actually played the game. It was pretty exciting for a while to get my hands on the virtual gold medal, but it was fairer for SirPleb to win the award for his amazing game.

Congratulations to everyone. I think it is great that the results have speeded up, and an occasional mild error is a price well worth paying.

Fixed that as well now

Gah beaten to fastest 20K by one lousy turn, but I already knew that from the spoiler threads. Well played gozpel!

Congratulations to all winners and big thanks to the staff! If the QSC results start popping up now I think it will be a big rise in interest again for GOTM

Dianthus · Mar 28, 2004

Hey, I got another award! Maybe sometime I'll play well enough to get one of the good ones :mischief:

Mark Cutt · Mar 28, 2004

Something wrong in my strategy, instead of fastest spaceship win I got the highest score spaceship win. My streak of 5 awards interrupted.

But my quest for all the awards continues, I still miss fastest spaceship, conquest, histographic, cultural 100K and cultural 20K.

civ_steve · Mar 29, 2004

More results!! The GOTM engine is really starting to hum!

Look out, we might expect really speedy results for Gotm29!!

2nd fastest 100K victory, 12 turns behind Mad-Bax. My streak of avoiding the award categories continues.

SirPleb · Mar 30, 2004

A big thank you to the GOTM team! You're making great strides in catching up and many (probably all!) of us greatly appreciate it!
