Just remember, Striker was #1 for almost all of Age 2... almost... And guess who was the winner?

Who?  I don't know.  :miffed:

Biter- that pic is like weeks old!  LOL

so? it's still something to be proud of :D

True.  Better than I've ever gotten.  LOL  


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 09, 2004, 03:39:23 AM
i've gotten into the top 500 before, back in age two.  it was near the beginning the first time, and then later in the middle.  then i got sabbed and i decided to get immune and go all attack after that :D


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: Lord Lanair on March 09, 2004, 03:40:53 AM
Age 2 I was ranked 95, before sabbing became popular....  <_<

BTW- how did a guy with 2 men make it into the top 10?  LOL


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 09, 2004, 03:42:06 AM
here's another question:

how does a guy who doesn't know how to use the bold/italics get so many posts :P

edit:  damn, you fixed it :P

they were prolly the first to buy weapons

I almost never use bold, but always italics, so excuse me if I get confused!  :P

He probably trained a spy or something.


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 09, 2004, 03:50:13 AM
he's only got two guys, i don't think he would have enough money to get the spy level...

Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 09, 2004, 03:52:29 AM
you need a spy level for spys to be worth anything! :angry:


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: Lord Lanair on March 09, 2004, 04:02:06 AM
I don't think so.  Especially when no one else has any spy level.  :miffed:  


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 09, 2004, 04:03:38 AM
*sigh*

the spy level is added as an exponent somewhere in the spy equation.  no exponent = no covert action :hmmm:


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: Lord Lanair on March 09, 2004, 04:05:26 AM
Ummm... I think if you have 1 spy, and 0 covert skill, you would either have 1 or 2 as a Covert Action.  :unsure:  


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 09, 2004, 04:07:03 AM
anyone want to try it? :rolleyes:

Ha.  Like I'd delete my account just to rebuild and see who's right?  :P  


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 09, 2004, 04:09:16 AM
well, you never know, you are unpredictable like that you know :rolleyes:


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: LadyofLight on March 09, 2004, 05:24:48 AM
Don't you start at spy level 1?  And then with one spy you would have skill?

O if skill is in the equation as an exponenet, like 2^(Spy level)*(Number of Men) or something then 2^(0)*1=1*1=1.
(Remember anything to the power of zero equals 1)

So either way you'd still get a point if you just trained a spy.


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: ns33 on March 09, 2004, 05:02:43 PM
No, unit production and spy levels are both 0 at the beginning of an age.  


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: Biteme360 on March 09, 2004, 08:37:26 PM
i konw exactly how they did it, the made new accounts, when you actived an account that was already there, you got 1K gold, something like that, but when age 2 started if you made a new account you still got 50K gold, buy some def and attack weapons, and train a spy or two and your top ten.

is that a challenge NS? cause i'm up for it

/me points to Flurff

Don't underestimate the hiders. I'd prefer my strike to take more, thanks though.

i think NS secretly wants to take the challenge.  

just a thought...:ph34r:


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: LadyofLight on March 10, 2004, 03:18:04 AM
Ns, if it starts at zero this part of my statement works:

Quote
Or if skill is in the equation as an exponenet, like (2^(Spy level)*(Number of Men)) or something then (2^(0)*1)=(1*1)=1.
(Remember anything to the power of zero equals 1)


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 10, 2004, 01:37:56 PM
bah, you win then.  i don't get how a zero exponent should equal one though <_< it's one of those things that makes you think that the person who made it up didn't really know anything <_<


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: SS on March 10, 2004, 02:32:02 PM
No one made it up. It's mathematics.

Look:
2^-3 = 1/8
2^-2 = 1/4
2^-1 = 1/2
2^0 = 1/1
2^1 = 2/1
2^2 = 4/1
2^3 = 8/1

See the pattern?
A negative number gives 1 over a number, and a positive gives a number over 1.
Because zero is neither/both positive and negative, it has 1 over 1. Which is 1.


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 10, 2004, 02:56:56 PM
i know how it works, i was just hoping that i could convert you :P

Never thought of it that way.  Of course, the reason I occasionally have trouble in math is because I don't understand the simple things.  LOL

yeah, i'm good at math, but i make stupid mistakes sometimes, so i lose points...:(


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: SS on March 11, 2004, 10:57:55 PM
I'm great at maths; the only time I lose marks is when I make intelligent mistakes. :P


Anyway, going back on topic...  I'm ranked just outside the top 5500s. Yay.

I do A2 level maths which is the level below Uni.  I will be doing a highly maths based course at Uni.

I am coming up for overtaking the 2k mark to get into the low 1k rank.

I suppose I'd be doing better if I wasn't at school 12 hours a day plus having homework plus actually sleeping.  Oh well.  Sometimes I even have a semblance of a life.  :unsure:

Time to expand the scope of these bragging rights in KoC,  I was the first person to start a public dwarf only alliance.  It lasted for almost all of age 1, but when age 1 got stale and people stopped playing, it slowly died.  It was called the Dwarf Confederacy.  I'm sure some of you remember xyph, he was a member of it in addition to TGA.  It died from staleness and strangely, I still have the e-mail addresses of at least 2/3's of the more loyal members.


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: LadyofLight on March 15, 2004, 03:28:58 AM
Ever think of emailing those members and telling them to join TGA? ;)

Sorry, coffee makes me nautious.


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: Lord Lanair on March 15, 2004, 05:20:01 AM
*grumble, grumble*

If we're going back into the past, I was ranked 95 in Age 2 for a while.  :D  


Title: Bragging Rights

You should have got a screenshot of that like Biter did when he was ranked #10 or something.


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: Drifter1 on March 15, 2004, 06:01:06 AM
my highest rank ever in age 2 was 16...but that was in the beginning before people got really strong.  too bad i didn't take a screenshot of it :P


Title: Bragging Rights

well yeah it does that when you first start drinking it.  you get use tio it though.

Chai is good though.  Lotsa sugar in that...

Actually, I don't know how to take a screenshot.  :miffed:

And lady- Chai?  :unsure:  


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: LadyofLight on March 16, 2004, 05:34:37 AM
Chai, it's a heavy milk tea originating in India, though that's a little redundant as the word chai means tea!  :P   Very good, especially Green Tea chai, specifically Oregon Green Tea chai, though I also like Pacific's vanilla chai.

As far as a screenshot goes, do you see a print screen button on your keyboard, should be around the upper right side.  Press it, and it copies the screen.  Then you just have to paste it in word or graphics program of your choice.

Post by: Perdition on March 16, 2004, 06:31:52 AM
gah  you arnt supposed to add milk  to tea or coffee whats up with you weird peoiple.  its supposed to be black, cold, and bitter as hell.  no frills.


Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: Hornet on March 16, 2004, 10:34:25 AM

Screenshots prove nothing - I could make a "screenshot" that showed LordStriker at rank 666 and nobody would be able to tell the difference from the real thing.


Title: Bragging Rights
