New player: Nitro.
He e-mailed me his result of his game as the Native Americans: Domination victory in 1941 AD, 23450 points. Decent yet not impressive result, one would say. Sadly, for those taking this contest seriously (who? ), his only reference for the scoring list is me, and I merely scored 7303 points. His (square rooted) score is 1.79 times better than mine, so even though I'm almost at the bottom of the list, he's still way above akots, until I finish my game with Russia (~40000 points) or someone else will also play as Native America and make the nation not appear as tough as I did. Now I stop speaking belittling about Nitro's score. He's the only yet with a domination victory with an American civ. And I would still judge the Aztecs and Incas to be easier. By the way, this scoring system, compared to what I used previously, is more valid, but less reliable in scientific terms. In other words, it's calculated properly now, but with wider margins of error. Edit: Shit, I completely missed that one, IanDC! I'll process it now... Edit2: Done. Didn't do a lot to the scores.

Eh, yes, I have. But I don't really fancy starting a whole new competition, now that we've got so many results on this one already.
Nevertheless, here it is. (It might have a bit too many resources.)

Interesting! That adds ProPain in the system, since no one played Mali yet and he didn't play anthing else. That also makes it all rather dodgy: ProPain is second and akots first, but that comparison goes via Nitro, myself and IanDC. (PP and Nitro played Mali, Nitro and I played as Natives, I and IanDC played a lot and IanDC and akots played Russia.)

Well, I am now playing Russia. I will probably not get a score like 100k+, so that will balance the ranking a bit better.

I may give this another try soon, since I've shelved Col2 for now. Russians sounds like a nice idea, for comparisons.

Bad choice. Based on your and Russia's ranking, you're expected to get a score of 228998.
I've played with the scores a bit last night and made this funny web page: http://www.straland.com/cdzearth.html The second table is the interesting part: the black scores are what you really got, the gray scores are what you are expected to get when you play that civ, based on your score and that of the civilization. Below your real scores is possibly a percentage: that shows your real score as a percentage of your expected score. Many are 100% for of lack of reference. By definition, the product of all percentages equals 100%.

Sure, one can certainly get more than 58K playing for China, probably more close to 150K.
