Millionares Club

Well done! And in only 84 games!

Thanks mate

could have been in less.. if it hadn't been for those darn empty blocks that I have.. I'd have had them about 70-75 games

Congratulations Qwerk! A major milestone to be sure. I should join you in a few weeks.

Thanks...

I'm actually suprised at how easy it realy is to get to.. with so few games.. I did go into it with a plan of playing 4-6 games a month.. but the empty blocks were ripping my scores apart.. so I had to break thast plan.. by submitting up to 10 a month in the last few months..

At the moment i'm eagerly watching another player comming up..

Chipperoo 71 897126

Looks like he may fulfil my dreams of getting to the million in under 80 games.. (I calculated once that it should only take about 75-80 games or even less) if you played slowly but evenly.. the hardest thing is NOT to play more Games in each month... and limit yourself to a game a week.. (maximum score)
you caould even do it in a lot less if you limit yourself to 1 game a month of 60,000 inder 50 games it should be possible... but you have to be committed and stick to your plan.. YES it will take longer but you won't have the same score degredation.. aging.. what ever you'd like to call it..

It would be very interesting to see tables of plans of stratagy on how to get to the magic million with the least number of games etc...

Congrats on making 1 Million Qwerk!

Grats Qwerk

Maybe I'll join the club some time after my testgameing is done.
Demanding how far my scores will (keep) drop(ing)

I guess I can answer this one.
First a small reminder:
games are stocked in block:
block 0 : games aged from 0 to 30 days, no aging
block 1 : 31-60, 5% aging
block 2 : 61-90, 10% aging
block 3 : 91-120, 15% aging
block 4 : 121-150, 20% aging
block 5 : 151-220, 25% aging
block 6 : 221-290, 30% aging
block 7: 291 and more, 35% aging
The points in a block is: sum(raw total)* (1-aging)/squareroot(number of games) = average * squareroot(number of game) * (1-aging).

If N is the number of games submitted in 30 days.
To reach 1 Millions points with 60K games it needs:
- with only block 0: 1000K = 60K*sqrt(N)=> sqrt(N) = 50/3 = 16.667 => N = 278 (more than 9 games per day). total submitted games: 1*278 = 278

- with block 0 and 1: 1000K = 60K*sqrt(N)* (1 + 0.95)=> sqrt(N) = 50/(3*1.95) => N = 74 (more than 2 games per day). Total submitted games: 2*74 = 148

- up to block 2: 1000K = 60K*sqrt(N)*(1 + 0.95 + 0.9) => sqrt(N) = 50/(3*2.85) => N = 35 (a little more than 1 game per day). Total submitted games: 3*35 = 105

- up to block 3: 1000K = 60K*sqrt(N)*(1 + 0.95 + 0.9 + 0.85) => sqrt(N) = 50/(3*3.7) => N = 21 (2 games every 3 days). Total submitted games: 4*21 = 84

- up to block 4: 1000K = 60K*sqrt(N)*(1 + 0.95 + 0.9 + 0.85 + 0.8) => sqrt(N) = 50/(3*4.5) => N = 14 (1 game every 2 days). Total submitted games: 5*14 = 70

- up to 30 days in block 5: 1000K = 60K*sqrt(N)*(1 + 0.95 + 0.9 + 0.85 + 0.8 + 0.75) => sqrt(N) = 50/(3*5.25) => N = 11 (1 game every 3 days). Total submitted games: 6*11 = 66

- up to 70 days in block 5: 1000K = 60K*sqrt(N)*(1 + 0.95 + 0.9 + 0.85 + 0.8 + 0.75*70/30) => sqrt(N) = 50/(3*6.25) => N = 8 (between 1 game every 3 days and 1 every 4 days). Total submitted games: 8*5 + 8*7/3 = 58

- up to 30 days in block 6: 1000K = 60K*sqrt(N)*(1 + 0.95 + 0.9 + 0.85 + 0.8 + 0.75*70/30 + 0.7) => sqrt(N) = 50/(3*6.95) => N = 6 (between 1 game every 5 days). Total submitted games: 6*6 + 6*7/3 = 50

- up to 70 days in block 6: 1000K = 60K*sqrt(N)*(1 + 0.95 + 0.9 + 0.85 + 0.8 + 0.75*70/30 + 0.7*70/30) => sqrt(N) = 50/(3*7.88) => N = 5 (between 1 game every 6 days). Total submitted games: 5*5 + 2*5*7/3 = 48

- up to 30 days in block 7: 1000K = 60K*sqrt(N)*(1 + 0.95 + 0.9 + 0.85 + 0.8 + 0.75*70/30 + 0.7*70/30 + 0.65) => sqrt(N) = 50/(3*8.53) => N = 4 (1 game every week). Total submitted games: 4*6 + 2*4*7/3 = 42.

I hope you do not mind I want to place this post at my site? Excellent the best explanation of the scoring for the metaverse.

Congrats again Admiral J.T.Qwerk!

No problem. Do as you want.

if I read the table correctly you could get to the magic million in as little as 32 games ?

going for the full 8 blocks (0-7) at a game a week... ??

or the fastest would be
278 games in one month ??

can you please clarify ??

Ok. To summarize what I have posted:
With submitting only 60K, you get 1 million points if you submit:
278 games in 30 days
or 148 games in 60 days with a submission rate of 74 games per month
or 105 games in 90 days with a submission rate of 35 games per month
or 84 games in 120 days with a submission rate of 21 games per month
or 70 games in 150 days with a submission rate of 14 games per month
or 66 games in 180 days with a submission rate of 11 games per month
or 58 games in 220 days with a submission rate of 8 games per month
or 50 games in 250 days with a submission rate of 6 games per month
or 48 games in 290 days with a submission rate of 5 games per month
or 42 games in 320 days with a submission rate of 4 games per month

So, a submission rate of a 60K game every week can lead you to 1 Millions point in 320 days. you just need to be patient

Thanks Peace Phoenix.. Being your not registered at my site to post your excellent information I wanted to ask.

Thanks... PP ...

I'm sure that this will get more people striving and making a plan of attack rather than simply mass posting of games in one or 2 monthsa and then burning out

I think I hold the record so far (not sure) of getting to the magic million in the least number of games (84) are there any out there that have the patience to go for the record... and clobber my record... Its a lot harder than you might think...
Go for it if you think your made of the right stuff....

I challenge you.... LOL LOL LOL

Yeah right here!! Give me some time.. I am going for it.. I know it is a long path ahead but being home 24/7 has some advantages. (Not that I enjoy being home this much)

I have just a problem: I haven't AP. So I am currently submitting 52-55K games.

I loved it while I was unemployed. I got stuff done around here (cleaning, yardwork, etc), and I had plenty of forum time and galciv time. That was during the time our thread was growning by 200+ posts per day.

Yeah I know how much enjoyment that situation must have been. Mine is a health issue and I am on SSI until they finally figure out what the hell I did to myself. Not exactly the same as your situation.

My only concern is to make my site successful. Which seems to be an uphill battle. Seems not many like my site or something. (A little off topic there)

by the topic I thought this was going to be about the senate

no.. you don't need to be in the milionaires club to be in the senete.. well not the StarFleet senete anyway..

Welcome to the millionaires club tgrz!

And in only 81 games!

Bad luck, Qwerk's - your record didn't last very long.
Maybe the two of you could compete to get two million in the fewest games?

2 million that is a magical milestone far away in the distance ... :notsure:

For those interested, to have the progression table for 2 millions, you just need to multiply the number of games by 4 when using the progression table for 1 million.

ouch..... LOL



I knew my record wouldn't last long.. LOL thats what records are there for... to be broken..

lets see how long tgrz can hold it :

I'm waiting to see if someone will do it in the minimum number of games
