That is okay.
Thanx
Now I have a chance to be a (normal) QM by the end of February
That is okay.
Good point. RoA is perfect for trying out different leaders with late UUs. It makes no sense that these games don't count for LoN. I'm still lobbying for them to count for map quest too.
The irony was I had thought about making standard the only size. I may have posted about it in the cheese thread at some point. But I thought that it wouldn't go over very well.
I don't know precisely where the line is between keeping the game alive and making it too difficult, but I don't think that RoA only counting for one requirement is that bad. I am not sure why it is okay to require x games but not x+14.
I'd be a fan of the standard only size requirement (or allow standard+ size so that all the large/huge games aren't lost).
Doesn't the addition of RoA = more games? So doesn't that go against the purpose of the EQM to foster better quality instead of quantity? I understand part of the appeal of late era starts is to encourage use of late game UU civs. However the current major is a modern era game and everybody is playing Asoka, not a German or American!

WastinTime said:EQM is ruined with the RoA restriction. It just feels so wrong. I'm not sure how that is not obvious to everyone. Please, everyone, try to think clearly on this before they ask for a vote.
WastinTime said:The scores will indicate the best games/players.
WastinTime said:I would also be nice if Huge and Large (maybe even standard size too) scored the same. ...snip... Standard Diety games should be able to get 100 points.
Jimmy Thunder said:My personal preference is for QM/EQM status to be easier to achieve (less games) and the real bragging rights or competitive element to be for QScore and QM/EQM ranking (higher quality of games).
So much to learn and do here......
I've been taking stabs at Games of the Month, and now Gauntlets. Only play with the HOF Mod now, as well. So, I guess it's time I started sending in some results. So, this interests me. But, it is perplexing, at first, for sure. Some newb style questions:
Ok...so let's say I submit a Noble HOF game.
1) Will it then count towards both the Quatro and the Elite Quatro? For instance for Machiavelli in both? Or, whatever other categories that are in both?
2) For the regular Quatro, does it have to be a victory? The Quatro page does not say "victory"....just "valid HOF entry"
3) On the Status tab, what are the numbers 1 and 2, atop each column? Also, if I understand correctly, this page shows your entries? Or, no? If not, what is it?
I probably have more. Sorry to hijack this thread, but I saw no other Quatromaster sticky, or FAQ.
Sorry, the HOF only accepts victories. You are probably remembering something said about the GOTM.Hate to quote my own post, but can someone of upper ranking please verify.......do you have to achieve Victories, with all of your eligible HOF entries? The wordings on all the categories, except one, I believe, say "valid HOF entry". Nothing about Victory. Seems I recall someone suggesting to me before, when I asked about this months ago, to send in games, whether victorious, or not. Which, makes me wonder all the more.
