Mod Question

So, if a player gets banned that you have played with, is there a system that reimburses points? for example a PPSC or a WTA that was drawn. Or is that out of the question? Just asking :)

Subs needed

Hey all, I'm looking for 3 subs for the Masters tournament. It's currently stalled, and lots of players are (rightfully) frustrated. It's two games at most and they'd be starting ASAP. Reliable, experienced players preferred.

For Profit Colleges over Public Funded Colleges

An illuminating argument put forth by Andrew Rosen in a new book called "Change.edu." He puts for the argument that publicly funded universities no longer see students as their customers, and that this accounts for the glaring failure of America's publicly funded higher education system.

political puppet/ top 99%
to
experienced/top 26%

It was my biggest win EVER (175

) and first one in sometime, so it feels good but jumping 73 percentage points?!? I'm not complaining by any means, I'll keep it! :) I just don't get how it works.... thanks, ahead of time

I believe it's calculated by how many points you have, though I may be incorrect

LakersFan (899 )
16 Feb 12 UTC

I agree, I think it is based off the number of points you have compared to all the other players out there.

goldfinger0303 (3157 )

It's a poor ranking system though. To see how much you really shape up to other players, check out your GR.

The rank names go by points available, not total points. They're fairly meaningless, just an incentive not to join more games than you can handle.

Leonidas (635 )

Is there a table of these levels? I'm getting it's irrelevant, but would be nice to know, something trivial to strive for

zultar (4180 )

Just get past 30000

would put you in the top 1-2 spot. :)
Something to strive for.

2ndWhiteLine (2611 )

Its only meaningless unless you have the most points :)

d31 (312 )
16 Feb 12 UTC

user.php defines the rankings as follows:
Top 5% (by points available) - Diplomat
Top 10% - Mastermind
Top 20% - Pro
Top 50% - Experienced
Top 90% - Member
Top 100% - Casual player

The rankings only apply to those with over 100

available, below that it defaults to political puppet.

I say the only reason to keep points on hand is for live games. I usually keep all of my points invested in a well-diversified portfolio of long-phase games.

webdip Points as a ranking rankings is ridiculous. Ghost Ratings is much better.

spyman (424 )
16 Feb 12 UTC

typo... wedip points as a ranking *system is ridiculous.
To clarify, when I say ranking I mean a ranking of players by *skill* and *performance*.. Players can invest all their points in a game and suddenly they plunge in the rankings, but clearly this does not mean their skill level has plunged. That is why I say points are ridiculous.

AverageWhiteBoy (314 )

Points serve their function. Ghost ratings serve a different one.

Filtering players

Is there any way to filter out players without making the bet stupidly large?
I'm in a world game where South Africa, Ghana, Libya and Argentina have given up almost from the first round giving FA and Kenya a massive advantage.

It has been happening in other games too.

To PhD or not to PhD.

As my education is finished in one year, my interest is shifted to possible future employers. Since I'm still undecided about doing a PhD and I know there are quite a lot people here doing/having done them, I have a small question for all of you: Why did you choose to (not) do a PhD? Which factor played and important role and which only a minor one?
