Season: "Winter 2013-14". Online games for rating (reports, discussions).

What about permanently removing nicknames of players who haven't played for 2+ years?

Basically, the situation is similar to the seasonal one. We are all connected by a single chain – by removing one link, we affect everyone. Annulling the wins of a "removed" player will increase the rating of their current opponents, which in turn will affect the ranking of their rivals. In order for the removal to be correct, it is necessary to recalculate everything each time. This is currently impossible. I don’t have lists of games that were played before me; I took the initial numerical data on ratings from vbn.

Let me clarify: here is a list of permanent rankings of HOMM3 players who have played more than 30 counted matches during the period from Winter 2008-09 to November 30, 2013. This is a simple sorting of the complete list of players (based on which I calculate, without excluding anyone).

We can simply remove those users from this list who have not been active on the forum for the last 2 years; the list will be slightly shorter and more up-to-date. /Of course, they should remain in the list of all players./ We can raise the bar, for example, to 40 games; we will also reduce the list – mainly by removing those who haven't been seen for a long time: Alex_R, тенью бездомной, crzq... there are not many of them; does it make sense?

Starting January 1st, we began a gradual transition to automatic report submission. They are already being recorded in the database. In the future, the Creator plans to automate online rating calculation. When this happens, the ranking will automatically reset on January 1, 2014. And there will be other changes as well. Let’s not take any drastic steps yet, but gradually learn what new things appear. The process isn’t going very smoothly, but there is progress. In 3 months, almost everyone was able to enter their ICQ number into their profile and learned how to click the buttons - Sign up for a tournament and New report.

I am also planning quite a few changes in ranked games, but now I spend a lot of time on current affairs, consultations with players, and mastering the new tournament system; I don’t have enough time.
