I’ll say that you continue to confuse people. It’s one thing to outdo a bunch of individual players. It’s harder to outdo a cooperative team that developed a walkthrough collectively. One head is good, but two are worse when both are clueless :) Whether I outdo them or not is another matter. The player should receive rewards commensurate with their performance.
Exactly! And if you also outdo the "brain trust," you’ll get a bonus! And that’s fair – it fuels interest in achieving results in the game. Just think about it and approach it objectively. Imagine that there is no "your" or "my" calculation mechanism, if you can imagine that, of course. Instead, there are two independent systems. Try to compare them not from the point of view of "I’ll prove it to everyone" (you’ve already proven it), but from the point of view of which is closer to reality... In total – considering all the pros and cons. The oscillator has its drawbacks, and all your posts are only about them. I wonder, why were its advantages NOT mentioned ONCE in your posts? Coincidence? Or BIAS?

Because its drawbacks outweigh its advantages, IMHO.

The discussion revolves around a single tournament. A cooperative team will be inserted between you and the leader. And your rating for this tournament will be artificially lowered, as you will be collectively pushed down 3-4 positions.
Half of the scheme! Don't mislead! If you surpass this cooperative team, you will receive the same bonus... So everything is fine... But the question of the cooperative team's emergence can be attributed to the clan rating, and don't blame the calculation method, as it is correct.

It has only one drawback, which outweighs all other advantages - it is too complex for you to understand. And I can't help you here... :smile19: Removed :smile19:

You should suggest this to the players from the SECOND, lower half of the table, smart guy. They are also being pushed down by the cooperative. Or maybe in the cooperative, only one player is good, and the rest of the cooperative should just sit at the bottom without any cooperation.

Let's say I bypass the cooperative, but the player who was behind me can't. What makes him worse than me? Isn't the cooperative already pushing him down 3-4 places? :smile19: Deleted :smile19:

The discussion revolves around a single tournament. Where a cooperative team will squeeze in between you and the leader. And your rating for this tournament will be artificially lowered because you will be collectively pushed down 3-4 positions.

And what does the "bazaar" have to do with it, Iron? I hope I don't need to remind you of what you wrote earlier – that "how will I compete with the leaders?" I don't deny that a cooperative team would be unfair, etc., but what's stopping you? – create your own :) – it's easy to talk, but can you do it? And the systems they propose – they are not being imposed on you, but rather, they are asking you to consider them, just as you are considering the ideas of others... If you are offended that one system is better than another, then that's your problem; although the principles may be different, the GOAL is the SAME! And there's no need to resort to personal attacks; by the way, I'm not the first to tell you to think about it...
And also – I am not a supporter of their ideas or yours; I am a supporter of the common good, of improving the rating calculation system. Many people will want to challenge their position (if it is indeed unfairly low) just because not everyone can understand what is written.

to AmberSoler: you wrote about 3 people – I am not among "them," I am not judging anyone; I can argue, but I don't have the right to judge; I simply adhere to, strangely enough, YOUR COMMON SENSE IN THESE SILLY ACCUSATIONS, that it's childish.
I was personally offended by Iron's ego – because he is going to argue only with the leaders; don't say "hop!"..., I think I don't need to remind you about the "trampled armor..."

It's not a fact, and even without a clan ranking, there can be discussions and rigged games. I've been around for a while and have been on different portals. Should I tell you some names? Go ahead and try.

Let's say I complete a cooperative challenge, but the player following me can't. How is he worse than me? Isn't the cooperative mode already pushing him down 3-4 places in the ranking?
That's why we're having this conversation – because cooperative play itself is inherently problematic.

And it's not just about how the rating is calculated; it's that your approach is simply insensitive to this scenario. It's insensitive to any scenario, really, because it's too simplistic. Let me explain specifically: "simplistic" doesn't mean you're a lumberjack or that it's poorly made (mathematics can't be bad – it either exists or it doesn't). It means it doesn't take into account many of the nuances of tournament competition.

And the only way to neutralize the idea of cooperative play is within the clan ranking system itself – I think everyone will understand that. Because the benefit here isn't for an "oscillator," but for the principle of "fair play," which is more important.

So, for those who see many tactical ideas in the tournament, it's not interesting because it simplifies everything too much. And for those who might be interested in such a simple ranking, the ranking itself is irrelevant. A few people decided to try to create a different calculation, and they are working on it. And if, according to this calculation, you lose your first place, then that's how it will be... There's nothing you can do about it – everyone is on equal footing...

What does the marketplace have to do with it, Iron? I hope I don't need to remind you of what you wrote earlier – that "how will I be able to compete with the leaders?" I'm not arguing about cooperative play, that it would be unfair, etc., but what's stopping you? – create your own :)
I play for my rating, so I don't need cooperative play. However, I want to be protected in terms of rating from such cooperative play. And also, people who are below the cooperative play level should also be protected. The AmberSolera system cannot do this, so there will be no compromise!

Yes, yes, I remember how the crowd trampled him. Well, it happens. But you misunderstood. I'm not going to argue with them. It's just that in the rating calculation system, all results – even from last place – are compared to the LEADER's result. You probably didn't quite understand what I'm talking about :( So don't be offended, sorry :)

Yes, but a clan rating is a tempting prize for those who can't break into the top spots in the individual rankings... These are the people who are most likely to be tempted... It doesn't necessarily happen, of course, but the probability increases significantly. And as for arranged matches, that can only happen when the stakes are too high – for example, a fiefdom in a duel to the death. All other cases are just due to wounded pride; we're discussing something else...

And once again, I strongly ask you to stop being

Iron, it seems to me that you are too afraid of these "cooperative games," right? An alliance is a powerful thing, but for someone as confident in their abilities as you are, it's a minor issue, no exaggeration... You keep pushing your ideas about each individual opponent, supposedly about ratings and everything else... So what if there's a clan rating? Maybe together they'll beat you, but individually? Why are you so angry? You're usually so level-headed :D?

That's why we're having this conversation, because cooperative play is inherently bad.

And it's not about how it affects the rating calculation – it just happens to be the case that your approach doesn't account for this scenario. It doesn't account for any scenario, because it's crude. Let me explain specifically – "crude" doesn't mean you're a lumberjack or that it's poorly made (mathematics can't be bad – it either exists or it doesn't), but rather that it doesn't take into account many of the nuances of tournament competition.

And the only way to find a way to neutralize the idea of cooperative play is within the Clans rating itself – I think everyone will understand this. Because the benefit here isn't for an oscillator, but for the principle of "fair play," which is more important.

And if, according to this calculation, you lose your first place, then that's how it will be... There's nothing you can do about it – everyone is on equal footing... So just stand aside if you don't want to help – you're just getting in the way, to be honest...

p.s. You can also highlight the font in red so that people notice who is defending it so fiercely... :) You're just running out of arguments, so you're starting to act like a bully... And there are fewer emoticons – usually you use them every other word...

Iron, don't be angry. Why are you so upset? Everything seems reasonable so far, everyone understands you and isn't judging you... It happens to everyone.

Well, just admit it directly instead of writing it in a way that no one understands. Or should I write it for you and you'll sign it?
Cooperative play is EVIL. AmberSoler's system doesn't protect against this. But cooperative play is organized thanks to the Clans rating. Therefore, it needs to be eliminated or reworked. (Amber)
Is that correct?
And haven't you considered that even if you eliminate the Clans rating, the Clans will still exist. And this could also encourage some to compete in the tournament as a group in the name of their Clan. What will your next step be? Eliminating Clans?

Your method is the basis for calculation, one of the cornerstones of the building, but it is only the foundation. You are asking everyone to go into your basement and shout that everyone else is just wasting time... I am interested in building something worthwhile - that's why we are having this conversation. How can you create an analysis of the game without understanding the basics of managing numbers? Sorry, but you shouldn't stop at your approach if there is a chance to move further - you need to use it.

Why does the conversation always come down to me? Because I'm the one pointing out this flaw in the oscillator? But the rating will be calculated for EVERYONE.

Alliance is a powerful thing, but for a person who is so confident in their abilities, it's a trivial matter, no exaggeration... You keep pushing your ideas about each individual opponent, supposedly about the rating and everything else... So what if the clan rating is affected, maybe they'll beat you together, but individually? What are you so angry about? You're a balanced person, right? :D
Okay, let's assume that's true. But the rating will be skewed. Are you suggesting that I should just ignore the rating altogether? Besides, I'm not a super player. For example, why shouldn't I be wary of a co-op in a five-player or three-player game? They can crush you even without co-op. And with co-op, they can completely destroy you. But still, it's not just about me, but about other good players TOO!

Well, go ahead and build. Introduce a map difficulty coefficient, whatever, a bonus of some kind, party strength - BUT remove the occupied space from the calculation. And I'm sure things will go better for you. At least I won't get in the way

Have you considered that even if the Clans ranking is eliminated, the Clans themselves will remain? And this could still motivate some to compete in the name of their Clan in a tournament. What will your next step be? Eliminating Clans?
No. Let me explain point by point, because this question will inevitably arise sooner or later.

1. The Clans system is needed, and Clan interests are just as important.
2. The current mechanism for calculating the Clans ranking is a breeding ground for speculation, because the creation of cooperatives is a response to a flaw in this mechanism.
3. "Competing in the name of the Clan in a tournament" is possible, but it should be a Clan tournament, and the number of Clans participating in it should be unlimited. I have played in Clan wars where eight Clans fought simultaneously, and it was interesting.
4. A Clan tournament involves not just one map, but several – equal to the number of players nominated by the Clan for the battle. Obviously, not all players participate, and some – the selection principle – is up to the Clan. As a result, only one member of the Clan plays on each map. And all maps have one save from each Clan, and it is not possible to play more than one map. The time is limited to prevent cheating, where one player can play several maps and share the Walkthrough with a Clan member.

That's it. This is a real Clan tournament. What we are discussing is not yet serious.

Note that this method eliminates all contradictions and accommodates all ranking systems. No to cooperatives, and yes to the Clan movement.
The problem lies in the mechanism for calculating the Clans ranking, and it needs to be changed. I would like to emphasize that this has nothing to do with the oscillator. And if you see in my approach an attempt to fix a flaw in the oscillator calculation, then I agree with you – flaws are not needed, and that is why we are all thinking about this together. Here is a ready-made solution to all problems. You asked to remove the flaw from the oscillator (secretly hoping that it is impossible), and I offered you a way. A time-tested one.

What do you say?

Don't jump to conclusions. The same cooperative, if you overtake it, will give you EXACTLY THE SAME number of points upwards! It has a goal to strive for the result, right? This is the essence of the oscillator - it is flexible and reacts not only to the result in days, but also to the number of opponents you have overtaken. Why are you considering only half of the scheme when you need to consider the whole thing? Obviously, because the second part doesn't give you any advantages? What will you say next?
Here's an example:
1st place - player1
2nd place - player2(c)
3rd place - player3(c)
4th place - player4(c)
5th place - player5
...
10th place - player10
In this example, player 1 overtakes the cooperative and receives his well-deserved 100 rating points. If the cooperative hadn't been there, all three players in the alliance would still have remained behind... And where are the promised points upwards?:confused:
Also, for any position: if a player overtakes the best player in the cooperative, then the cooperative does not affect his rating in any way. But if he falls behind the leader of the cooperative, then he loses significantly in rating...
