You actually feel you should get 3 wins for a single game. Power to you work the system. bad enough you were playing warlords when the rest of us were playing a team game. I would expect you to try and find someone to play the positions first before taking them yourself, then take the position as a last resort. This is exactly what the team I ended up joining did. Then we lost a spot because the guy did not let us know he was quitting, but we played on to try and keep the game fun for the rest of you.
Clearly you do not care for the accuracy of Valhalla if you willing and expecting 3 wins from a single game. I did not ask for a warlords win when I won the dual dual that was someone else's call. When the REX games first came out the points for Rex were 20k. I won the first 3 Rex games and had no issues with them cutting 45k from my combined score for the sake of Valhalla. That was back when my point total points were only 4 digits

You can take the Dual Duel question up with Rick, it was his call. It makes sense to me that 4-6 player games count under a "Warlords" type win. Similarly, we have 12-15 player games qualifying for Individual Vahalla status points.
Anyway, if it was a Magic team game here, and you somehow were allowed to play three positions on one single team, that is actually a major advantage for you. I would take that deal any day of the week, personally. I don't see how you could expect three individual Golds in Valhalla under a scenario like that (although for the Kingdom stats, sure, I wouldn't personally see a problem with crediting the generic positions).
I don't think anyone is complaining about a standby position getting credit, we know historically they always have.
Anyway, that's just my $0.02, from someone who has no authority or say over the matter.

Actually, what are we even talking about... for Magic, each player on a winning team gets a single "Team" victory credit. Not a Gold. So I think that's the answer. No one would get three Team victory credits in a single Magic game, because it's one game.
I'm honestly not sure what happens for status points, or credit for playing a Kingdom. I imagine the fairest thing to do would be to let you pick which one Kingdom you want for status points (and playing credit).
Again, just my $0.02.

For Game #189
If there is not 12-15 "distinct" player personas, then the Valhalla DB will treat it as a Special Contest (probably a Primeval game since I see 10 distinct personas with 3 inactive positions).
I can update the file with the original starting persona list and it will run as a Classic Team game (i.e. 2nd Cycle of Magic).
Who were the 2 team mates that dropped and which kingdoms were they playing?

Yes that is the part I am talking about getting 3 team wins for 1 game.

Who was playing the DW in Game #193? The Valhalla file is missing the persona.

LT should get the points not the players that dropped and it should be a team game. It has happened where someone finished with two kingdom this is just the first 3 kingdoms and won. But 1 game 1 win

That is not an option. Valhalla needs 12-15 distinct personas or it will treat it as a Primeval, Warlords or Titan game.
Valhalla will not allow a 10-persona game to be counted as an Alamaze Classic game.
I need the other two players or it will get processed as a Primeval. I will wait to process it until we have consensus.
