The Cosmic Encounter® Online Leaderboard

Rank: The player and the alien with the most m-rics are ranked number 1. An equal m-ric ranking produces a tie.

Victories: the total of wins and saves combined. Victories are also displayed as a percentage of games finished. Victories earn a share of a 'game pool' of m-rics depending on the type of win or save.

Defeats: the total of full and partial losses. Defeated players earn m-rics for the total number of foreign and home colonies they have at game's end plus 5% of the m-ric pool.

Wins: being one of the winners in a game that you started. Winners earn a set number of m-rics plus a % of the m-ric pool.

Saves: (future) Joining a game in progress and winning in that 'partial game'. Getting a save earns a set number of m-rics plus a % of the m-ric pool for every save.

Solo: win = m-ric value: 50 + 25% of m-ric pool,
save (future: for players who join a game) = m-ric value: 30 + 10% of m-ric pool.

Double: m-ric value: 40 + 15% of m-ric pool;
save (future: for players who join a game) = m-ric value: 10 + 8% of m-ric pool.

Triple: m-ric value: 30 + 10% of m-ric pool;
save (future: for players who join a game) m-ric value: 5 + 4% of m-ric pool.

Losses: losing any game.

Full Game: credit for completing a game; losing a game that you started. m-ric value: home colony = 5 foreign colony = 10 plus 5% of m-ric pool.

Partial: (future) credit for losing a game that you joined in progress. m-ric value: home colony = 5 foreign colony = 10 plus 5% of m-ric pool.

Games: any game you are in.

Completed: staying in the game until a winner is declared; m-ric value: 2 per game finished.

Dropped: disconnecting or quitting a game.

Bot: Any alien playing in a game without a human player is a 'bot'.

M-ric Pool: The m-ric pool equals 10% of all the m-rics that the players / bots in that game have. When members are in games with Free players, Guests or bots - those entities will each contribute 50 m-rics to the m-rivc pool for purposes of calculating the members m-ric share at the end of the game.

Bot game: A bot game is worth less m-rics to the member players, since the total gain is devalued by 25% per bot.
