scoreing problems yet again... I was told that they'd been fixed :(

No... the normal aging is good... and it encourages ppl to spread their games... and not burn out in a month or three...
if you play a reanobale amount of games in any 30 day perios... lets say 16 games (a game every 2 days...

you'll get
your total score for the last 30 days / square root of the number of games in the last 30 days

Then you also loose 5% of your score every 30 day period after the first 30 days


This is all well and good... and i can see the merit in doing this.. and its a fair system... as it applys to everyone

there are however 2 things that i don't agree on thats happening.. and have co mplaioned many times about them...

1. Not everyones scores are being aged... eg: if your a player who played like crazy for say 60-90-120 days then never submit another score.. then your scores don't drop ... your scores should drop age like the others who are submitting games still...

2. Aparently if you've been playing for more then 365 days then your scores start dropping off the face of the earth after 365 days... which sucks big time ... why should you be penalized when your a loyal player ...and been playing for a long time...

If these 2 things were fixed then it would indeed be a true and just scoring system...

unfortunatly as my games are past the 365 day period that are now disapearing completly... and our empires score is reflecting this... unfortunatly i can't possibly submit more games thaan i am.. which is not enough to covwer the 30k+ / day that i'm loosing as games disapear from the scoring mechanism... If this problem alone was fixed like i had been told that it had been then i wouldn't be complaining as much


CAN THESE PROBLEMS PLEASE BE FIXED... I'm sick and bloody tired of stating these bugs time and time again... Rhey are now effecting my empire's scores extreamly ... and i'm serously concidering pulling out of it so that I don't drag trhem down further.... even though i'm submitting 10 games / month. my scores still keep dropping.. and i'm sorry but its just no longer viable for me to remain active in the empires ... unless this gets fixed... like i was told that they had been

Thankyou...

Nope, your personnal score correctly includes all of your games: I obtain the same result with muy spread sheet.

I think with proper aging of scores it would incourage new players to climb the ranks. Seems to be no rhymm nor reason as to whose scores age and who's do not.

I use to think it was when your 1st game was over a year old but Greldon's score blew that theory.
