Mystical domination points... (Or a bug??)

I'd like to know how exactly the domination points are calculated. So, is this already explained somewhere or if not, then could someone explain it, please? An example situation would be useful.

I know this: http://kdice.wikispaces.com/Rating+System, but it doesn't tell too much and if I understand correctly, the page isn't up to date.

Concidering strategy, domination seems pretty darn important thing to know a bit better, as this one game of mine went as follows: I expanded a lot early and so I was in the top positions from very early. Then I sat many turns just gathering dice. Closer to the end I started fighting with a relatively powerful player stuck behind me. That took all my attention and thus a 3rd, weaker player was able to grow easily gaining 1st. I flagged 2nd and soon the player I was fighting with flagged 3rd. Game over. But then the points... 3rd gets 98 points, 1st 216 and I, I get -84. MINUS 84!! How the heck?! Explain this. Map had 29 territories, the player who got 1st didn't attack me, I lost maybe two territories to this 3rd but won more from him elsewhere.

No need to go through how I should have truced and so, just... Considering points, this was the most ridiculous game ever, so I'm really anxious to understand what exactly happened.

Here is the end information:

looks like a bug. -65 for 2nd place is very strange. this was a 100 game?

maybe you hadnt "maxed out" dom. i don't know.

The error is obviously the -65 for 2nd part. When 3rd gets +26th for place. So the dom isnt messed here the place points are.

Yea, funny that I didn't mention the placement points, which are also the bigger negative. But still, is there more information about the calculation of the points?

Fake logs, that's the only explanation. Here is my results:

(-1904 for 1st and +101 for dominance)
Rank: 314th Score: -11 to 3142◆.
Machetto finishes 1st in round 17.

How would you explain this?

the points system is bugged, as I posted about a week ago, I won a first place game and while the log said it gave me points, if you looked in my profile at the time, it didn't
