--(=4=)---------------------------------------(Battle Players Hall of Fame)--

What follows is a list of all battle games ever played by EMail (games
are also played via some Snail mail fanzines, note that some early ones
are missing due to loss of the relevant files). Each players position
in the game is averaged and so is their number of kills and an overall
placing working out on the following scoring system:

In a 12 player game the scores for position go from 24 for first to
2 for 12th in steps of two. Similarly six player games go from 24 to 2 in
steps of 4. Each kill gives the player 4 points. The resulting league table is
show below. I do not guarantee the accuracy of this document
a lot of it was scoured from old status files before my time. Note also
that where two people have finished in the same place they both get the score
for that place and if two people were involved in killing they both get 4
points. The score is always given to the last person who was playing that
character, this means that in some games a person plays more than once.

Email addresses for all the players can be found in the doc
players.email.add.txt (not yet in existence 21/1/94)
