This was actully discussed quite a bit. There are the All Time categories that keep track of this but for the regular ranking we did discuss retaining 5% but since submitting a single new score gives you 20 times the benefit it was considered why bother. Also the AltMeta isn't a replacement for the offical MV it really just adds to it.

The official MV has folks far above you that haven't played in over a year. The AltMeta is really a far more accurate representation of who is playing now, not who used to play (except the all time categories)


Not necessarily true. Another part of the offical MV is that it penalizes those that play many small games versus fewer but higher scoring games. Again on the basis that the AltMeta is an enhancement to and not a replacement for the official MV, we felt that we should remove this penalty.

One thing about the AltMeta is that you can rise very quickly, far quicker than the official MV, if you play a lot of games, but at the same time you can fall very quickly if you stop playing games.

I think it's good to have both of these although between the two I think the AltMeta gives you more features with it's graphing ability and is fairer. Particularly in recognizing folks that prefer to play the smaller games or lower scoring victory types that otherwise get overshadowed in the official MV.

BTW we will be working on adding our Metaverse League games to the AltMeta in some kind of yet to be defined pretty display.

Also don't forget to check out the various banners you can use.

Here AltMeta Class Beta.

All of the links of the OP are still good, if you follow them they explain pretty much everything. It's seems we did lose some of the pictures when the AltMeta hosting changed but otherwise all of this information should be pretty accurate.

Yes, that would be interesting to see. My empire has been at #1 for almost 4 months, and I wanted to get a sense of how that measured up to the other large empires from the past.

I have compared the all-time totals with the other empires by clicking on them one by one, but there isnt an all-time category list for empires. It would also be nice so that older empires might be inactive, but not forgotten entirely.

Thanks Mumble!

Sentient species taste better...

Has anyone noticed the Alt Meta has not updated for a few days now?

never mind

I have joined to Gerontocracy Empire (player KseAli) but my score didn't appear in AltMeta. Can somebody explain what should I do to appear in AltMata

Thanks for quick explanation

Thanks. Finally it works.

All the real work was Kryo's. All the members of the now defunct Metaverse Council (MVC) did was to act as surrogates for the metaverse playing community and hammer out a definition of what "we" as metaverse players wanted. However it did take quite a bit of effort on the part of a number of people to do this and I'm sure I can speak for all of them when I say we collectively appreciate your thanks.

You mentioned myself and TGE but there were a number of others that made significant contributions and I may as well take a moment to mention the entire MVC.

Later to join the Metaverse Council were Wyndstar and Neilo.

A solid core of the Metaverse Council were instrumental in forming the Metaverse League (MVL) and are still very active within the MVL and the forums. The activity of the MVL basically superceded that of the MVC which has since passed on. I like to think that the community spirit that was evidenced by the MVC is still alive and well and ready to act if it again becomes necessary.

Thank you.

Empires need to be added manually. I've done so so they should appear after tomorrow's update.

Could some one point me to a description of the different altmeta clasess?  The few links I found appear to be broken.

Thanks!
