News

hiscore & sportsmanship breakdown added

Sorry for posting twice within so short timespan, but this is what you get when I have a boring time I've added some new fresh and useful numbers to the Profile section which I thought I'd introduce to you.

hiscore
Next to the Rating there is now a parenthesis. Inside of it is your best elo ever, and your worst elo ever. And yes, it only takes valid games into account, so no worries for lamers wrecking havok

sportsmanship breakdown
Next to the Sportsmanship there is now a... Wose? No, not really. Surprisingly it's yet another sexy parenthesis This one is however more interesting than your wicked rating hi/lo-score:

An example of how it can look like will be borrowed from Becephalus >> 4 (22% / 36%: 5 / 4 / 5)

The number outside of the parenthesis, 4, is Becephalus average sportsmanship rating. That number has already been explained in previous news posts, so I won't repeat myself. We'll go to the new stuff right away.

The first number, 22%, tells us in how many games Becephalus has been rated by his opponents. The higher the value, the more reliable the number we ignored in the above will be. Currently in our example every fifth of Becephalus opponents give him a sportsmanship rating.

The second number, 36%, tells us the number of games where Becephalus rated the opponent's sportsmanship. Apparently Becephalus is not only good at this game - he is also very helpful here on the ladder by rating plenty of his opponents, which in the longer run probably helps out the community at large.

The fifth number, 5, shows us the average rating Becephalus gives an opponent when he himself is the winner.

The sixth number, 4, shows us the average rating Becephalus gives an opponent when the opponent is the winner, and he himself is the loser.

The seventh and final number, 5, is the average of Becephalus sportsmanship rating that has been given, taking into account both the ratings he gave as a winner and as a loser.


As you might imagine all numbers are rounded to zero decimals when displayed (but not when calculated ofc). So, what good is this? I'd say it's pretty interesting as it gives us more insight in how individuals use the rating system: E.g. abuse is way easier to spot now. Another thing that becomes apparent is if people rate very differently depending on their mood in relation to a win or loss. A third one is the fact that we now get at least a crude idea of how reliable/representative the sportsmanship rating a player has since we can see how many of his/her games that have been rated.

Hope you like...

Edit: Forgot to mention that the best & worst streak can be seen next to your current one.
