Doushi -- give me an idea how long you're stringing this out please. I have two losses (1 definite, 1 very likely) I haven't taken yet. I'm at 2030 or so. I'd like to know if I would get a moment in the sun before I fall from grace. If you fall a 100 taking your first two losses than I'd be #1 for a moment in time and then take my losses and drop (probably to 5th). But I'd like to get this moving.

Fix: Change the ratings system so that historical maximum rankings take into account the eventual results of all games that player was involved in at the time. Set the maximum rankings at first ladder update per day to simplify this. Then the system can't be gamed in the long-term, and in the short-term if a player artificially inflates his ranking, he'll pay for it by more losses due to matchups against stronger opponents than he can actually handle.

That would fix historical max, but not the inane desire to hold the #1 spot for a minute.

Yep! I think its primary benefit would be that over time the numbers would approach a true representation of people's skill, but yet it probably wouldn't be very complicated to implement. More complex solutions could cover more bases, of course, but is it worth it?

No. once you have the spot for a second, it always says that was the highest spot you obtained. Like fighters who lose their first title defense.

I'm going down faster than a cheerleader on prom night. Everyone I've beat better start winning their games already!

I'm curious how things settle out after people start allowing themselves to lose.

It won't be that dramatic -- I'll drop 50-60 points max (basically into that gap behind you and Fizz). Should be less as Teddy/Shogun are mid to high 1800s.

Eighteen days and counting. I don't understand why he is being allowed to blatantly cheat, and I don't understand how this is good for business. The 1v1 ladder is simply not fun for anyone, and that has to include him, when he's checking in to five losing games every three days to make a move. He isn't even doing them all at the same time - he's taking about 71 hours in each. Such a dick move.

Well it IS his name. To be fair he's never claimed to be an upright WL citizen, more the contrary. What makes these delays worse is that they take up slots for the top 1x1 players which deprives people of new opponants. I can't fill 5 games right now.

I set my ladder to give me five games, but I only have two games going right now, and Doushi's one of them.

Part of fred's problem also seems to be that the "20% rule" is limiting his opponents, and many of his potential opponents are playing only 2 games at a time. I'm ranked lower than he is and haven't seemed to have much difficulty getting enough games.

I just got the game against Doushi. I'm beating him in the first game, which is being dragged out. Let's see if I can beat him in the next game as well.

I'm curious how Doushi's games against Fatguy and Shogun are going. Once he has 5 losing games, the jig is up. I know he has 2 already, my one against him and the game against bostonfred.

I foolishly got bit by the autobooot and lost two games. One before making my 1st move (and I had a great start with the counterpick and knowledge of where opp was). Catapulted me to 4th.
I was behind in the other game so I don't consider that a big deal. Congrats Shogun, sry you didn't get to finish it.
