- --(=4=)---------------------------------------(Battle Players Hall of Fame)--
-
- What follows is a list of all battle games ever played by EMail (games
- are also played via some Snail mail fanzines, note that some early ones
- are missing due to loss of the relevant files). Each players position
- in the game is averaged and so is their number of kills and an overall
- placing working out on the following scoring system:
-
- In a 12 player game the scores for position go from 24 for first to
- 2 for 12th in steps of two. Similarly six player games go from 24 to 2 in
- steps of 4. Each kill gives the player 4 points. The resulting league table is
- show below. I do not guarantee the accuracy of this document
- a lot of it was scoured from old status files before my time. Note also
- that where two people have finished in the same place they both get the score
- for that place and if two people were involved in killing they both get 4
- points. The score is always given to the last person who was playing that
- character, this means that in some games a person plays more than once.
-
- Email addresses for all the players can be found in the doc
