ruthless bastard and timi are gonna clean up

There are still some problems on the rating :)

Ratings vary widely when there are aren't many games yet. Give it time to settle down.

wish there were no local deployment -_-

so many shit templates

Are you planning to add other templates beside seasonal ones fizzer?

4 of first 5 games local deployment, 3/5 light fog

It really looks like a bug in the system. If indeed that is TrueSkill with mean of 1500, that guy ould never get >1900 by 50% win rate. Likely you added to him 1500 points flat, not increasing the mean.

ps. Best ladder so far, I am also grateful that autodistribution and 4ffa are there, prevents me from returning and playing :)

I still see negative ratings also.. I had negative after my first loss.
This guy also have negative rating: http://warlight.net/LadderTeam?LadderTeamID=4200

Seems the fix wasn't fixing what it should fix

i'm around 800 with 3/3 wins

timinator: it might only recalculate your rating when you get new win/loss?

Wasn't it said i should start off with 1500?

In the beginning glicko might be a bit unstable, since everyone is rated equally, meaning there are many under and overrated players on the ladder. This process should likely take a few days at least depending on how active the ladder will be. Also you should know that it is not bayesian elo, 3/3 might give a worse score than 6/9 in the beginning. I'm positive Fizzer will oversee rating process, but if the algorithm is indeed TrueSkill, it should all become more clear after those first 15-20 games.

1/2 > 3/3 still seems odd

That is why I said that example is probably a bug. You can also see his TrueSkill mean is much lower than yours, but rating is much higher, that basically shows that it is a bug since you both have similar game sample.

Great idea! I always thought the ladders should be implemented in real-time like this, but didn't think it was realistic. Thanks Fizzer!

Nice one Fizzer this is great!....now how do i find time to participate in RT games

I guess I'll start playing RT games now, then.
I'm going to have a lot of fun with this one!

The ratings do look odd. It's possible the ratings are messed up due to the early bug. Not to worry though, since I can easily re-run all games from scratch through the algorithm to figure out what they should be and then correct them. So all games you're playing now will count.

I will do this later tonight and correct the ratings if necessary.

Love the concept, but local deployments will be very bad real time. It can take a long time just to keep ferrying troops to the front (and deploying in all bonuses). you'll waste 4 minutes doing that and only have a minute to consider any strategy. It also takes many more clicks/steps when watching the history, unless you just skip to end (but you still want to see some of the deployments/movements).

I really don't think Multiattack or LD should be in real time ladder. Just my two cents.
