Comments and Chat:

I am putting that table above because I think that is important to maintain a register of (maybe liking to see my name up there influenced a little :) ). 
The problem is that i am not sure if there was anyone before [[Paul]]... 
Also the dates have to be filled in... 
Please help to fill-in and correct that table! -- [[Axe]]

There was noone before [[Paul]] in the RoboRumble@Home. Even a year before the RR was launched Paul was king. For very long I thought that maybe [[DT]] was invincible. Then [[ABC]] invented WaveSurfing. -- [[PEZ]]

Well, investigating the saved rankings, i gathered this info. Since it´s saved only 1 per week, before [[SF]] it have +-6 days of precision... -- [[Axe]]

Btw: based in that info, RoboRumble is about to complete 1 year... Seems like eons ago! -- [[Axe]]

Since Vic entered as a co-author of SilverFist, i named this variant as [[SilverFistWT]] and included as a member of the "Triunviratum". Long live Vic! -- [[Axe]]

I am honoured, since my contribution to SilverFistWT is only a small one. My first deed as king shall be: to banish all hunger and disease from the RoboRumble robots population! --[[Vic]]

Welcome to the hall King Vic! -- [[PEZ]]

SilverFistWT got pulled as PEZ and Axe agreed it would, but it would still be the top bot if it was there... Is PEZ king now or does he have to beat SilverFistWT's old rating (2080.95) first? Either way, congrats on a very strong bot --[[David Alves]]

When a King steps down from the throne volontarily the succession is made immediately of course. =) -- [[PEZ]]

That was the agreement... No need to proof that bot_2 + other_bot = bot_1... Congrats, PEZ! -- [[Axe]]

Actually what it proves is that bot_1 + other_bot = bot_1. ... Thanks Axe! You'll let me have the throne a while, won't you? =) -- [[PEZ]]

I won't, not if I can help it. ;-) --[[David Alves]]

Congratulations Mue! --[[David Alves]]

Cool done, Congratulations Mue! --[[iiley]]

Yes, very well done. But I don't think I'm dethroned just yet. I shouldn't have to leave my best version in place when I try a new one, should I?  -- [[PEZ]]

It´s dangerous to a King to leave his seat even to sleep in these days of revolution, aint? :) -- [[Axe]]

Indeed. But now I'll never sleep again. =) And I'll keep leaving my best CC in the game while testing new ones until this issue is decided upon. It'll look silly in the rankings though... -- [[PEZ]]

I think kings in the past (Paul, ABC and Jam) have all done their testing offline. I don't think entering 2 bots is ok.  But I don't really have a good answer... Maybe in the new RR@H server I can allow "test bots" to be uploaded which wouldn't compete for the crown and wouldn't affect other bots ratings? --[[David Alves]]

I think that it should be allowed only to the king to have two versions listed in ranking. Simple and easy... -- [[Axe]]

I don't like giving the king special priveleges... How about you have to be #1 for a full day to get crowned? Then the king has 24 hours to pull his test bot and replace it with the previous one if the test bot doesn't work out. --[[David Alves]]

I agree that special privileges for the king would be wrong. I'm suggesting we use common sense. It's known that I publish new versions of my bots very often, testing only one small change at a time. (Only a bit slower in the release pace the past days because I've been working with the wiki and rr@h servers.) CC .05 rates around 2072. So crowning [[Mue]] just because I tested a small thing is strange. I for one wouldn't want to be crowned if I just happened to stand #1 when Mue or Axe or ABC or whoever is king at the moment release a test bot that rates a little lower than their best version.

Having to wait a full day to be crowned would be painful. I would propose that if a contender steps forward that can fight for the crown (like get a rating of 2071+ at the moment) then whoever notices that replaces the king's bot with the best known version to get the question settled.

In this particular case it would have been unecessary because CC .05 and Ascendant 0.9.1 were both on the Ranking table before I released my test bot.

-- [[PEZ]]

Sorry, I thought 2071 was before the big crash... I thought Ascendant was scoring higher than CC had ever scored in the post-crash ratings. You're right, in that case it doesn't make much sense to crown Ascendant. I took Ascendant off the list. Maybe if I spent more time looking at the bot ratings instead of looking at how many battles each person has submitted... ;-) --[[David Alves]]

All hail king Mue! --[[David Alves]]

It seems like the latest version(s) of CC ties Ascendant. This is a snapshot from now:

http://pezius.com/robocode/CC-ties-Ascendant.png

How about we have two kings while CC, Ascendant or some other bots improves the current high mark?

-- [[PEZ]]

Sure, that or use the PL score. --[[Pulsar]]

Don't you think that having "two kings for this kingdom" is the same as having "two captains on a boat"? A community can't be ruled by two kings. "The people" will stand either behind the one or the other, and this community will go under in a civil war. I foresee DOOM. 
No, i think this is a time without kings. These are ages in chaos, a community in turmoil. Order will only reappear with the rise of a true new king... --[[Loki]]

Yeah. Maybe [[Axe]] will restore order for us soon. =) -- [[PEZ]]

As usual, [[PEZ]] have more faith in me then myself... But now talking seriously, i think that the King should be one bot. My opinion is that Ascendant have to be clearly defeated to lose the crown... It's currently a draw between CC & A, but A haven't (yet) be defeated... -- [[Axe]]

I think a King that can't clearly defend its throne is in question. The situation is more like chaos than order. -- [[PEZ]]

In boxing, for example, a champion only loses his belt if he is defeated. In case of a draw, the defender stays with the belt... -- [[Axe]]

* I like this idea, but i'm biased of course :-) --[[Mue]]

But in Monarchies? You're a layman historian, you know the answer. =) -- [[PEZ]]

Let the community vote... This is a issue that concerns to all robocoders. Raise a voting... -- [[Axe]]

there are now three heirs to the throne. The chaos is complete! --[[Loki]]

Well, the Roman empire lasted quite a while even though it now and then was a Triumvirate. Of course, you have to watch your back even better if you're a member. =) -- [[PEZ]]

2071! If it hold a bit longer I may soon be claiming a 4th entry in that table afterall... ;) -- [[ABC]]

Yay! It looks very promising indeed. -- [[PEZ]]

2071 with 938 battles. I kneel and promise to be faithful to my new King - [[ABC]] of Portugal! -- [[PEZ]]

Thanks! And undefeated PL King too (with some very close calls), it's always a thrill. :) -- [[ABC]]

I'm suing our new king for abuse, he beat the living crap out of Phoenix. :-( --[[David Alves]]

Sorry. Such are the privileges of a King. You must be confusing it with a President. =) I'm happy with the 49.9 score against [[Shadow]] being CassiusClay's lowest score. -- [[PEZ]]

Added Voidious, Congratulations!! --[[Krabb]]

Thanks, [[Krabb]]. And congratulations to [[Mue]] for having, by a wide margin, the longest continuous reign as King in the history of the RoboRumble! I'm sure he'll hold the throne again one day if he really wants to... -- [[Voidious]]

I think its fairly decided now, and I put the first version that scored more than 3 points over Dookious as the 'turning' point, 1.0.17NVBW. Maybe this will prompt [[Voidious]] to do some more coding? =) - [[Skilgannon]]
