International Doubles

lol greenix know only 1 or 2 race ( vineta sl ? 18.28? :beer...anoobpha? :clap) what about others?? maybe im blind ..i see 16 tracks in this game :nod..and for ur " tt online " with ur mate = lol? and osama ?where a u here ?http://194.183.224.38/rank/index.php...+in+to+comment ha ok im again blind ..but dont worry ..i understand, one boost by lap for all players is not enough for u ..u like luck lol!

On the other hand... How's about we don't make this another unnecessarily long thread full of pointless bragging/slagging, the likes of which we've all heard plenty of times before? We can all see the records. We can all sort them to make ourselves or our country look better or worse. Get over it, seriously!

Agreed Saturn, I said wipeout world domination (this seems to be the start to this?) as a joke for on the tracks blowing people up, not as a starting point for more of this rubbish. Seems things are taken so seriously on here by some players. Try to have a joke and all that seems to come from it is constant bragging.. SL this TT that, don't say well done or anything encouraging just slander it further and yap about your supreme ability. It's getting tidious now.

As far as I would like it, can this be the end of this subject now? Can we get back to chatting about International Doubles?
Bottom line is wipeout should be having fun..

OK, I'm not sure if we've agreed on using an Elo ranking system, but I made a ranking calculator anyway:

International Doubles Ranking Calculator (needs javascript)

You can play around with it and let me know what you think. In the final version the two constants will be fixed, or based on a simple linear function. If we do vary them according to the team's rating, we probably don't want to vary them too much.

We should also have a ratings floor of 500 or even 1000 so that no one can get too far behind.

Any more suggestions about the rules? ;)

I can't make any suggestions about rules because I haven't set any time aside to read that other long post :p

But the calculator and general concept looks pretty cool to me. Good stuff.

I hope you rigged this like i said Feisar ;) otherwise we may need more than voodoo to help us.

I still have plenty of rage though. :brickwall

As a side note, it looks like the Frenchies don't see sarcasm very well...:?
We should all start talking in idioms!
"It's raining cats and dogs", etc

i have no teamates ! maybe wellington ? :p
or maybe eloi ? are you somewhere man ? :)

as a side note : insertcoin, plz don't generalize

I'm ok to be with you chboing ;)

feisar you are my hero, shall we add that to the rules?

are there any events already scheduled for the weekend of the 20th-22nd?
if not then i was hoping to do a test then.

feel free to check the list and ask people if they want a quick game whenever you want to, nothing official going down yet.

happy racing :D

What's the state of play at the moment? Are we free to organise a race that will be official or are we still at the planning stage. Is our leader (yeldar) gonna list the definitive rules and points scoring soon. It would be cool if we could get the ball rolling on this as soon as pos, I can feel a bit of form coming back. Lets hurry up before it goes again......Damn! it's gone.:bomb

Since I'm now online again with my (hopefully) temporary profile called angryhabib, I would like to join this event, given that someone has the mercy to take me as a wingman ;)

me and amorbis are ready to start the arse whoopin' whenever your ready :beer

:lol angryhabib! love it lol

If we dont hear from Yeldar maybe we should temporarily organise something between ourselves as a last resort cause this could be a lot of fun.

final draft of rules etc... being finalised, will be up on friday.
hope that's enough to tide you over....
if it's not, arrange some races and tell me how they go :+

yeldar2097, you tried 2v2v2? I did one 2v2 night (Pulse) with 7-5-3-1 points (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th), and it worked really fair enough.
So what's the case with 2v2v2? Or 3v3?

Wow just heard about it, great idea!!
Yeah it could be integrated in some sort of website, would be nice...

I wouldn't mind being with (for instance): AnErare or pirhapac, well any good player I had
fun with online.

Alright, I decided on the final ranking score formula. If you play a team of equal strength (like everyone will be at the start), your rating will change by 15 points for a win or loss. The biggest possible change is 28 points. You can go to the revised Ranking Calculator page and look under "Notes" for a few more details about the system.

I also updated the rules to state that you can only challenge teams that are within 500 points. With that difference in points, the most the higher team can win is 1 or 2 points (depending on its rating). I think it will also be nice if a team really has to "climb up" the ladder by beating teams in its own range. 500 points is quite a lot though, so it may never even come up, but please let me know if you don't like that rule.

Keep in mind the differences in points won't mean much at the beginning; as more matches are played, the rankings will become better and more "accurate".

ok, rules 'a la feisar31' now on front page. they might be updated in the near future but this should suffice for now.
let me know if there are any issues that need sorting.
ranking stuff nearly sorted

ill be available, cant wait
