Highest Rated Game EVER

5.0 rated players... Just HOW do they do it?

Forget about that for a moment, and look at Game 4972317

I think this is the 1st time a game has been started with all 5.0 rated players...
And as if that wasn't enough, these players are all on the 1st page of the scoreboard...


Okay... so it looks REAL good seeing that line up of 5.0 ratings from top to bottom...
But I still don't understand just how they do it...
And frankly, people with 5.0 ratings kinda scare me...

Thoughts?




lol... where's blitz?
this is the FIRST real TOP 5 game ever... lol

I think finding the lowest rated game would be much more fun. Just think of the possibilities for e-Drama!

Is this a requirement now to post in a Robinette thread? CLipart? Or random images from the internet?

a 5.0 rating is the sign of a person that is scared of public games...

lol... scared? really?
perhaps... but for me private games are to line up more skilled games...
but public games are fun too, for the unpredictability...

342 private games i've played... out of 516...
That's 2 out of 3

So i think that means i'm scared about 4 days a week...
that would be from Monday morning through noon on Friday... lol

here i have to agree with JR (first time ever?^^), it´s usually easy to maintain a 5.0 rating if 50% or more of your games are private. If you look at other high rank players, they usually don´t have 5.0 because low ranked players they played only once gave them 3 stars for gameplay etc. If you want to know if you can hold a 5.0 rating, play more public games against random people and see if you are able to keep the rating or not (imo it´s pure luck if you get in a game with people who give 5 stars for everybody or 3 stars for everybody or really rate by looking at your behavior and gameplay)

of course you can consider this as high society, but in that case comparing ratings with people who play 90% public games is like adding apples to cookies^^ (not sure if this idiom exist in your language) Of course it´s hard to get 5.0, but i think there are more players who would deserve it but lost it due to 2 stars given from a cadet in a public game.

You can make a test: take 10 high rank players at random, look at the ratings they received. Make a list of all players who gave 3/3/3 or less stars. Stop when you have 42 (magic number), then start six 8 player games, invite all these players, but don´t tell them about the intention of that experiment. If you still have 5.0 after, then you really deserve it :-)

Unfortunatly i'm very sure a all 5.0 8-player game has happend several times before.

Back when ratings first arrived then loads of people had 5.0, including myself, and i saw 5.0 on every second player or so. Because of that, i'm quite positive that a full 5.0 rated 8-player game has happend before.

oh now you're just being silly...

by that logic the player to win the 1st game was CONQUEROR...
and the 1st to win 2 games became the NEW CONQUEROR...
Heck, we probably had a dozen CONQUEROR's before anybody even got to 1300 points... lol

But if it makes you feel better, we can call this the first weighted 5.0 x 8p game

Well you make a valid point...

Myself, i only play roughly 30% random public games... well, not exactly random... they are always 6p std seq esc, but the point is they are random players... so i know what you mean...
I never looked to see what games the other 5.0's on page 1 play... but regardless, i figure 5.0's are pretty special even if a player only did tournament and private games.

You specific suggestion though reminds me of school... in school, who in their right mind would intentionally go out of their way to enroll in classes taught by grade nazi's? I'm referring to the teachers that think a C is a good grade, and a B is the highest grade they've ever given with one exception to the most outstanding student that ever graced his class in over 20 years of teaching... and by the way... getting that A was a bitch, lemmie tell you... :D
