this would put him at negative, and you'd win points for losing to him.
It's impossible to go below 1 point.

blitz and him lose to 2 1000 pt new recruits
3000/2000*20= -30 pts. he's at 22 that puts him at -8 theoretically.

That's the method of play that Blitz sometimes uses that made dugcarr so anrgy about the score system (if you didn't know).

That's the way it
should work but it is only a theory.
I'm going to ruin the mystery and actually be helpful for everyone: Lack fixed it so that his score won't go lower if he has a single point, but a person who beats him will still gain what they normally would. Of course for singles matches most players would get 0 points for beating him anyway due to rounding.
1/1000*20 = 0.02 = 0
in fact, 1/41*20 = 0.4878 = 0.
So to gain points from him in a singles game you would have to have 40 points or less regardless of the fix.

sully loves to be the one to ruin surprises when he can, which is why we don't tell him much.

I think it's pretty obvious that simton is trying to get down to zero points. No one is really that bad at this game. I do not think he should get another 1000 points if he reaches zero. Do we really need a player like this on Conquer Club?

It's probably just as buggy anyways. Besides, I heard from a certain someone that a… chatmaster was it? went on vacation. Besides, you never did unban me anyways…

I believe that it takes skill to lose that many times in a row. My hats off to him. The whole community is eagerly watching him, waiting for him to reach 0...

No, he just never takes a turn. He is obviously trying to get a lowest score possible.

As he progresses toward a score of 1 things will get harder and harder for simtom. He will have to lose to players with lower and lower scores in order to lose any points.
Assuming simtom loses the game (a very safe assumption by the way since he seems to deadbeat all his games) he has to lose to someone with a low enough score in order lose a single point.
His current score is 22.
If he loses the game his point loss is calculated as follows:
(22 / n) * 20, where n is the winner's score
Assuming rounding, in order to lose a single point he must lose 0.5 points or greater before rounding.
(22 / n) * 20 >= 0.5
So, n <= 880. In other words, unless simtom loses to a player with a score of less than or equal to 880 he will not lose a single point.
For example, in this
game he lost to a player having a score of 1046 and so he lost 0 points.
2007-04-10 16:21:00 - Dr. Jim won the game
2007-04-10 16:21:00 - luapy loses 24 points
2007-04-10 16:21:00 - tahitiwahini loses 30 points
2007-04-10 16:21:00 - simtom loses 0 points
2007-04-10 16:21:00 - Dr. Jim gains 54 points
Dr. Jim's score was 1046 before the game.
(22 / 1046) * 20 = 0.4 which is rounded to 0.
So, at his current score if simtom joins a game where the lowest player has a score of greater than 880 he is just wasting his time. He can't lose any points by deadbeating that game. The only thing he would accomplish is to irritate the other players by deadbeating. He will not lose any points in such a game.
Basically, simtom should put everyone on the scoreboard with a score of above 880 on his ignore-list. As his score drops further he will have to put more and more players on his ignore-list.
Some fun, huh?

Skill to lose that many points? Are you kidding? All you have to do is join games and then deadbeat. This is what he's doing and it's a waste of everyone's time. Then after wasting too much time on a game with this idiot, you only get one point from him when he loses. Why does Conquer Club need this kind of player?
