why reject a #1 award?

Borg Queen

damn that's an old thread but here is why:
if you win any #1 award you get a score reduction of 1500 on your account, meaning all worlds, all countries and enterprises you have. Same is true for lower awards with smaller reductions but I will use #1 as example.
So if you look at the #1 Awards on KB for example you get 289 GCs for #1 Country but only 177 GCs for #1 CEO. Problem is that as there is less competition you get #1 CEO usually at a much earlier point then the #1 Country award. So either you have to take #1 CEO and fall out of the Top Countries as well or you have to reduce your score by other means like forcefully dropping of your Game Level by taking money out of the countries so they don't meet the requirements for higher levels.
As the Score Reduction is 5 Points per day no matter how much reduction you have this means to regain the score you would have without the penalty is 300 days, with the possibility that again your CEO gets #1 before your Country. So in the End it's about this: if you get #1 CEO instead of #1 CEO you get 1 GC per ~8.5 Score reduction while you would get 1 GC per ~5.2 Score reduction for #1 Country.
If score reduction would be linked to how many GCs were won that wouldn't be a problem at all, especially as you wouldn't need to wait until you get #1 at all, considering you get even worse GC/Score redution on lower awards, but sadly that's not how it works.

It's so easy to get number one country, I'm currently #3 on GR after less than two weeks play time lol

Yeah, the ranking as it is atm is just a distribution system for GCs, no real comparisson possible if you dont look up what score a player has without score reductions.

Yeah I can see that, though from what you have said I'm not sure whether I want the GC now??

Borg Queen

allways aim for country #1. you get the most GCs per Scorereduction from that

How often do awards get handed out? Is it based on every game month, or every real month?

Because I was ranked 3rd at the end of the last game month, so I'm assuming it's every real month since I wasn't offered any award.

Real Month. There are six game months per day, that would be a little overdoing with GC Awards

I do not know what you mean.
If you post here, you keep it closer to the top.

We do not remove.
Inactive discussions disappear from sight.

Fine to keep it up.

The score can be manipulated to a certain level.
not so much up but certainly down.

not such a good idea in general, but you can prevent the number one spot.

Most players however, do want the gold coins associated with the award.

so if someone done that are they able to claim 2nd spot all/most of the time?,if so hows that going to work when money rewards come into play?

Laguna?
it's an honor.

We already agreed and will have it done very soon.
There will be a best player list, keeping the best players at the top, and the current list will be the "award ranking list" in its current form.

The honour is all mine, gentlemen. I haven't seen you in well over a decade now.

I would love to see what has changed in all these years, but for the next few months I'll be short on time.

Meanwhile, stay safe and take care all.

Laguna, looking forward to seeing you back. Pm me and will give you best possible restart. I am in fb btw.

Andy, please make sure that in best players list all countries from the empire compete equaly, not only the leader country.

Andy

I do not know yet what the exact specifications will be.

I think you are right but we want it finished quickly so the first version might be the current list with the penalty removed.

Nice you guys took this one to bump to first, we were actually wondering which year it was when we talked about the problem of the 'top' country/enterprise. But hey, maybe now after 7 years we will finally get a real ranking. comming soon ©

Years ago indeed.

There are many things we need to do.
It also depends on the support we get from players.

so now it will take place, right after the small CEOs will be able to build natural resources corporations.

Is it still necessary to give this one a little bump?

Ranking is now improved with best players and award candidates.

whats next.

adding ranking is probably a good thing.
people are good at different things in the game and want to be raked.

Yes to rankings, stats, data - especially if it's a light lift for the gms. I like the way you updated the award candidates vs. best presidents. Players want to see their countries and empires improve as a result of their work, and having more information like this is one way to do that.

Seems we rejoined just in time before the tenth anniversary of this thread and it was still in reach for our drones to find it.
