GALAXY: Hall of Fame and Infamy From: graeme@abekrd.co.uk (Graeme Griffiths) Date: Tue, 08 Nov 1994 17:59:46 +0000 Automatically produced - Tue Nov 8 17:57:26 1994 List Maintainers notes: Status: I can now output both text and HTML versions of the Hall from my data-base program and my galaxy WWW home-page will be formally announced shortly. Major changes are that I have removed the old games Zeus and Rob G1 because they had silly numbers of members in an alliance. Both games have now been changed to be alliance wins to the (obviously) largest members of the origianl alliance. Howard (Bampton) informed me that this was the original intention of Zeus and I've assumed that the same applies the Rob G1. Apologies to the people who have been vaped by these changes, all I can suggest is that you should try to get back into the hall by winning another game outright. I'm quite happy to reverse these changes if it _really_ upsets people, but I think its a little more sensible this way. Comments always appreciated. G.Griffiths (graeme@abekrd.co.uk) Galaxy Hall of Fame and Infamy ============================== Recording the meritous results of past Galaxy games played over the Internet and allocating points to the players concerned, based on their past efforts. (Galaxy was written and maintained by Russell Wallace as a PBeM) Health Warning -------------- Be warned, all the following persons have killed billions of sentient beings and should be treated with utmost caution. Most are responsible for the genocide of complete species !! All should be treated as armed and dangerous. Rules ----- 1) The winning score of a game is the number of points equal to the number of players at the start of the game e.g. 40 players start the game, there are 40 points to be scored by the winner(s). 2) If a single person wins, they get the total score. 3) If an alliance of players wins, the number of points is divided evenly between the alliance members, based on the ratios of final industry scores. This helps add incentive to having either a single winner or having the highest industry. 4) Scores are cumulative for each player, and rankings are displayed in order of points won. 5) All Galaxy games played over the Internet and using Russell Wallace's code qualify, as long as they are publicly advertised. Private games, or significant variations from the original code, must be considered separately. (They will probably be included but we would really prefer to keep close to the original code) 6) The rankings will be posted to Rec.Games.PBM at regular intervals. 7) Winning races which change hands during a game for any reason are only recorded for the final player. Previous players receive no credit for their part in the development of the race. (It is recognised that this may not be totally fair on them, especially if they have dropped out for reasons outside their control, but there seems no fair way of managing this.) NEW RULE: 8) Alliance wins are only recognised in the hall if there are less than 5 members in the alliance and if each member is entitled to more than 1 hall-of-fame point. If not, you can either sub-divide your alliance (in-fighting is so funny don't you think) or be left out of the hall. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The GMs concerned (so far) are :- Mark Mark Nardin (Nardinm@engin.umich.edu) Rob Rob McNeur (Rob@ccc.govt.nz) John John Pietrzak (pietrzak@grant.cecer.army.mil) Russell Russell Wallace (RWallace@vax1.tcd.ie) Kev Kevin Pankhurst (k.pankhurst@imperial.ac.uk) Howard Howard Bampton (bampton@cs.utk.edu) Novak Rob Novak (rnovak@nyx.cs.du.edu) Jcho John Cho (jcho@NMSU.Edu) Martin Martin Lapierre (lapierrm@jsp.umontreal.ca) Games completed : Game GM Players Finish Turn Alliance Spiral Mark 29 58 alliance Circle Rob 23 72 alliance Globe Rob 15 50 alliance Rob G1 Rob 44 62 alliance Rob G2 John 21 42 alliance Game 1 Russell 29 65 no alliance Game 2 Russell 15 71 no alliance Game 4 Russell 31 115 no alliance Game 5 Russell 14 63 no alliance Game 6 Russell 64 81 no alliance Game 7 Russell 50 117 no alliance Square Kev 28 80 no alliance Clarke Howard 32 65 no alliance Zeus Howard 20 56 alliance Insanity Novak 15 102 no alliance Enigma Novak 30 82 no alliance Alzarius Novak 35 75 no alliance Gamma Novak 34 92 alliance Beta Novak 54 88 no alliance Littlun Novak 17 76 no alliance Flat Jcho 24 79 alliance Mad Martin 18 61 no alliance Name Email Address Total Points Game Game Points Bill Larson Bill_Larson@ncsu.edu 64.0 Game 6 64.0 Drachenreiter temme@jupiter.informatik.uni-dortmund.de 54.0 Beta 54.0 Bjorn H.
