As it seems you dont look in the Awards Section of the Forum too often I repost here.
'As it seems next month I could again be in Range of the #1 CEO Award on KB so I hereby declare I dont want that award so please dear GMs dont auto accept it for me'
Plz Andy or Robo reply so I know you've read it |
| Borg Queen | Wednesday, December 11, 2013 - 11:54 am
Hey Andy, I see you have posted in other threads meanwhile, so I hope you dont just ignore my request? |
| Borg Queen | Friday, December 13, 2013 - 08:35 am
Friday 13th, curious if I'm lucky today at getting an answer from GMs |
| Andy | Friday, December 13, 2013 - 01:44 pm
Please read our documentatrion.
first place awards are auto accepted.
always been and for excellent reasons. |
| Borg Queen | Friday, December 13, 2013 - 03:37 pm
I'm one of a few members who read the docs quite often. And I've won some #1 Awards allready and know they are auto-accepted, that's why I ask if it's possible for you to not-auto-accept for my CEOs?
I'm perfectly fine for auto-#1 Country but dont want that for my CEOs.
Is there any way to not auto accept or do I have to ruin my CEOs as to not get #1 Award?
You can take my CEOs out of the Ranking alltogether if thats the only way |
| Christos | Friday, December 13, 2013 - 03:45 pm
...or perhaps CEO #1 awards could have double the GCs or half the penalty? |
| claude balls | Sunday, December 15, 2013 - 04:12 pm
queenie
why don't you just shift some money around and drop your game level? quick to implement and quick to rectify, no lost of wealth... |
| Josias | Sunday, December 15, 2013 - 04:56 pm
I really hope you Game Masters get that you are offering an award, and forcing players to except it, when most players would actually try to avoid it, because it has the same penalty, at half the reward.
So its not really an award! |
| Borg Queen | Sunday, December 15, 2013 - 11:21 pm
well balls, that would also have an effect on my Country what I would like not to have and at least the shift of Money wont have that much of an effect as I regularly do that anyway |
| Christos | Monday, December 16, 2013 - 12:30 am
Well, back in May I was foolish enough to reach #1 CEO in KB. 10 years later it seems I still have a 1.700 point penalty lol. I was such a noob to let myself reach that #1 spot... |
| claude balls | Monday, December 16, 2013 - 12:35 am
Ideally you would win both (country and enterprise) no.1 in the same month. I can't see why you can't park loads of cash in your transfer account to drop your game level until such a time as you are in a position to win both awards. |
| Josias | Monday, December 16, 2013 - 01:26 am
because cash isn't the only factor involved in CEO scores. keeping ~5T in my CEO, has me at #3 on LU. Behind the GM CEO. Its more about the value of my Corps, not my cash.
give this a try some time, if you have Profit Sharing set, to 80 or 90 or what ever is normal. Yea, try turning that off, and watch what happens to your score! it'll go up, allot!
not to mention, what good it is, if players so don't like an "award," that they'd have to go out of their way to avoid it, rather than compete for it? Its not really an award, its like throwing stale bread at starving peasants. |
| claude balls | Monday, December 16, 2013 - 03:17 am
I'm talking about game levels Josias... |
| Borg Queen | Monday, December 16, 2013 - 11:08 am
balls, ideally you only win #1 country awards as it has the best GC/Pointreduction Ratio so that game level trick isnt that good as it first seems |
| claude balls | Monday, December 16, 2013 - 11:46 am
Yeah, i see what you mean. I am just happy we can win gold. |
| Borg Queen | Monday, December 16, 2013 - 04:22 pm
tbh, I'm happy about that too but as it punishes my score for it I'd like to have it as effective as possible. I wouldn't mind if there were no awards at all as I'd be perma #1 on KB ^^ (at least if maccy wouldnt see that as a challenge to raise his Game Level again;) ) |
| claude balls | Tuesday, December 17, 2013 - 04:28 am
no awards then no gold...obviously it has been done to share the rewards around. |
| Andy | Tuesday, December 17, 2013 - 03:23 pm
We have created this system to make sure more players have a chance of receiving an award.
getting or not getting the first award for an enterprise is obviously a rich mans problem.
Most players would love to receive 150 or 180 gold coins even if it is forced on them.
We have players who received 900+ gold coins in a single month and are complaining about the long recovery period.
we will keep this system in place. |
| Borg Queen | Tuesday, December 17, 2013 - 03:41 pm
Sry, but if I say you can take my CEOs out of the Ranking alltogether that means I'm offering to leave my spot to other players, so why's that a problem? |
| Andy | Wednesday, December 18, 2013 - 11:21 am
You have this idea that we are sitting here moving people up and down and away?
it is all automatic procedures. The game runs automatically for years, the software works, servers too.
So you want someone to spend some hourse and change the software to make it skip you as CEO?
and bend the rules for you specifically?
any other personal requests?
we have nothing to do here. |
| Borg Queen | Wednesday, December 18, 2013 - 01:32 pm
Well if you would like to change it according to a more wide-spread requested request you could change the point reduction related to the actual winning, like 5Points/GC and there would be way more people happy about that and then I wouldnt mind winning as CEO as well.
And yes, I'd have another personal request: dont get insulting |
| Josias | Wednesday, December 18, 2013 - 06:31 pm
yea, BQ wasn't asking for anything nearly every one else has pointed out, or noticed on their own.
When is an award, not an award?
When no one wants it!
And the idea, that some people would go for anything... follows the stale bread, starving peasants example. |
| Borg Queen | Friday, December 20, 2013 - 12:34 pm
Ok, another idea: how about just including CEO AND Country #1 Awards to the ones that can be rejected? I hope that would be an easier programming-problem and would give the ones that dont like the Point reduction and the ones that dont like CEO Awards what they/we want while the rejected Awards could be handed down to the next in line as with the lower Awards (afaik thats how it works, right?) so noone would be forced to get Awards while giving others the possibility to get it and if some of the 'bigger' Players would like to really be on #1 in ranking that would be a drive for other Players to try to achieve what those have achieved (tbh that was one of my Goals when I started and kept me playing to get to where maclean was when I started) |
| tomduddly7787 | Monday, December 23, 2013 - 09:40 am
This IS NOT THE US of A ! WE DO NOT TOLERATE these comments from foreigners. WE are RIGHT you are WRONG! LOL, and i wonder why i quit.
"NO SOUP FOR YOU!!" |
| Aussteigen | Monday, December 23, 2013 - 11:31 pm
lol |
| Brcdude | Monday, December 30, 2013 - 04:24 am
Lol this is funny.
Honestly I would love to get the CEO award, and I am grateful for the awards that are given out.
But if the intention is to allow players like me (lower-level) to get the awards, then statistically it is in everyone's best interests to remove high level players from the ranking once they receive an award as well as allow them to choose whether or not to accept the awards they are given. I understand that this will bump players out of the ranking for the country spots, but those are too hard to win anyway for lower level players, at least compared to enterprise awards. If we make these reforms, it will encourage more enterprise building, which would not hurt anybody in the least. |
