While we're on the topic of rank, how long did it take all you "Experts" to get that rank. And how long will it take me if I only play a game per day? Forgive the questions of the newb, but I must know.

on the topic of rank if you're lucky you proboblly can get to vet 1 in 15 weeks. However for people like me i can never reach it at the current rate.

On the other hand: Whisky's a very good example. It took him only 3 month to reach it (from what i can see).

Well, i went from a 0-7(or 8) in 2 weeks when i was a newbie. Technically i went from 0-5 and then a elo recalculation kicked me to the 7 or 8. Back then, our numbers werent readily available to us, you were either a number or you werent.

When the numbers were first put in i was in my mid teens and varied anywhere between 14-18. The last major wipe of info left me a 0 for a few weeks, at which point i was given like a 15, which i built up to a 18. The most recent ELO recalculation left me with a 22 which i have since built up to a 23.

So, to answer your question, i have no clue how long it takes to get to an expert rank. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

elo sucks, just hit it on the head and tell yourself your better than that

lol i have no idea why i'm still a (0) here but i don't care about it anymore... Especially after i HTT'ed the adv sup while other people just wait to watch me bump into base without fire my missles /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

And i don't think it's even possible now to go from 0-7 in 2 week.

ok i don't understand this:

Did the elo got another recalculate or something? I checked the leaderboard today and the game i played went up (and havn't played today yet)... and i jumped to (7). Not that i don't like it but how is that possible?

My rank changed as well. I saw this earlier... Pre-Emptive Strike

Yup. I had introduced a bug earlier when adjusting the end-of-game ELO balance calcs. I corrected that today and reprocessed the games.

I don't like to stack [cuz i often get stacked against in SBGE(another game which i'm one of the top 3 players) and i just hate it when ppl do that] so my rank is hard to go up or down. It's just a game so i don't really care as long as i can get accepted (which i usually can't with (0)).

And just to add on to that i was flying with my laptop mouse (those thouch ones) and bounced into rock TWICE in 10 second.
