Looks like I managed to hold on to 2nd spot :D.

I'm also very pleased with how the rankings turned out (I should point out that I had to go out to the 3rd decimal place to seperate myself and Alt - 2.423 vs. 2.419):

Rank Rank Change Player
1 - Baudin
2 1 Sir Thursday
3 -1 Alt146
4 1 Macros
5 -1 D'rek
6 - Bubba
7 - Impirion
8 4 Teholbeddict
9 -1 HoosierDaddy
10 -1 Mentalist
11 - Bent
12 1 Frookenhauer
13 -3 Stradivarius
14 - Sparkimus
15 - Tarcanus
16 1 Hinter
17 -1 McFlury

In the future I will wait until corrections have been made in posting these, to avoid disappointment.

So last night I was walking downtown for some pizza at like 1am with some friends of mine,
and someone said, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole pizza."

I said, "I bet I could eat 100 pizzas," and no one understood me. I was sad.

Your score improved, but your result was not sufficiently above average to make a big enough difference to catch up to Stradivarius, I'm afraid. Your good performance in Sheep 11 balanced out your bad performance in Sheep 8, but you had a horrible Sheep 10 that is going to weigh you down somewhat.

Question for you guys - it's standard practice with ranking systems to at some point discard old results due to irrelevance. I was thinking I'd make the rankings based on the 10 most recent games, with the most recent 5 being worth twice as much as the 5 before. Unless you guys think that's too small a sample size?

Depends on what you want the rankings to be based on. If you want a lifetime cumulative scoring then you cannot eliminate anything, but if you want it based more on recent performance then 10 should be a good sample size.

EDIT: Upon re-thinking what I just said, it might not be such a bad idea since there are people that have been here the entire time who may have performed better, but the scoring doesn't reflect that since some of the new-commers don't have quite as many games on record yet. Might keep things a bit more on par with actuality.

I would prefer it to be based on the last ten games, I don't think we need anything more than that.

Your score didn't change, but because one of the players below you did play and had a good round, his score improved sufficiently to overtake you and thus you moved down the rankings. If you had played in that game and performed to the level predicted by your score at that point in time, then the same thing would have happened.

The empress is not coming up with the next topics, if you go back a few pages you'll see that I requested someone else do it as I'm not feeling up to it. I'm not sleeping well with this leg and the meds make me groggy, it's going to be hard enough coming up with answers never mind topics. So I think that you my dear Ment should choose the topics in my stead! Lets say 12 of them for this round, you can start the thread for the new round whenever you've got them picked out...have fun! :p
