My vote is for peace with the Republic. Our efforts should be concentrated on defeating the undead and the vile empires that serve them. As for the confederation, I would support any system as long as it does not interfere with the empires' identities.
[quote]While I have not verified the exact formula for grandfather scores for myself, I do agree that old scores on the overall list have been compensated for somehow. [/quote] Metaverse overall score seems to be calculated as follows: Scores are grouped into blocks by their age/degradation. Within each block, the sum of the scores is divided by the square root of number of games in that block. The results of all the blocks are added together to give total overall score.
KitWarrior: For average the only thing protecting old players with those early low scores is that only players with more than 10 submissions are included in the average score list. Meanwhile, on the overall score list, a score can not drag down any scores more than a month separated from it. [Message Edited]
Dragoon 1293: To join GROSS go to the top empires page of the metaverse and click on GROSS. This will take you to the empire page. From here you need only press the 'join empire' button at the bottom of the page.
Nothing like a quick war to throw out unfavorable election results, eh?
Looks like we've cracked the top three! Congratulations everyone! :CONGRAT:
