Guys,

Any news of the ranking system? The currect one doesnt seem to be working.

Thanks,

Mike

Can you be more specific?

I think he means that the rankings don't show mp games, and that's what people assume they should show (it's what I thought at first).

wait... what? What else would the rankings be based on; surely not single player games (how would that be reported?). I simply figured that it was slow to update.

I read somewhere on the forums that it was in fact on single player games. Like you, I just assumed it counted unfinished games as 'won' and was slow to update. But no...

If that's the case... I suppose I can't really think of any reason to keep the ranking system. I don't care to remember how many times I've whaled on the AI; multiplayer is where this game really shines. Especially when it involves watching Paisley's pin-cushion pikemen plod Porus-wards.

The rankings are based on single player as we don't have a system yet to deal with the asynchronous multiplayer results reporting. It will come it's not as easy as it sounds though

Well, when you get a ranking system, just tack me on the bottom. This will save you the trouble of doing the analysis! Heh heh.

It is all automatic - every game you play is registered and you are already in the rankings

Where are these rankings to be found?

Oh idiot! Found them.

Can you enlight me??

Go to the slitherine.com hoepage and press the 'rankings' tab

Easier still.. go to the top of THIS page and press the rankings tab

Thanks for the tip xD

I asumed it was ranking MP games..

Has development started or is there room for some feedback on what it will look like?

Ranking is the key to maintaining interest here I believe or at least one of them.

Mike

It has started but feel free to suggest things. Can't promise they will be done though

Would it be possible to have rankings done by a percentage of game wins to games played, rather than just the volume of game wins?

We can add new fields - we just need to work out what they should be. To be honest we've so many changes planned the current system should be considered as a tech demo rather than a reflection on the final version.
