Posts from On-line rating (discussion)

Pete is making (or has already made) a program for automatically calculating the rating. A huge request to everyone: please write the nicknames correctly. Writing "Valyushka" instead of "Valeska" is also undesirable, but still tolerable.
But a wrongly written nickname means an incorrect rating.

I was just kidding a little, correcting the same thing over and over.

As for me, for example, I don't care what nickname a person has on the forum if it differs from their nickname in ICQ; my memory isn't limitless. In tournaments, you can still look at the table, but in the season, let the opponent take care to remind them what their nickname is on HW. Although I hardly play the season.

Okay. Let's standardize nicknames – they should be one word, not too long, in English, with the first letter capitalized and the rest in lowercase, readable, without numbers or special characters, and match the nickname in ICQ and on other forums. Hmm... in this topic, only my nickname and Kash's nickname meet these conditions.

Frankly, I don't care what nickname a person uses on the forum, especially if it's different from their nickname on ICQ. My memory isn't perfect. In tournaments, you can always check the leaderboard, but in the seasonal mode, the opponent can just remind them what their nickname is on HW. Although, I don't play the seasonal mode very often.

I understand. Alex was playing with someone whose nickname was LettersNumbers, I quietly corrected it and understood. I'm talking about those who play against each other constantly – after so many games, they should have memorized a nickname that's only three letters long. Or they can just look at any report; there are many of them.

Yeah. Let's standardize nicknames – they should be one word, not too long, in English, the first letter capitalized, the rest lowercase, readable, without numbers or special characters, and match the nickname in ICQ and on other forums.

Hmm... in this topic, only my nickname and Kash's satisfy these conditions.

Your nickname does not meet the above conditions.

It also annoys me when an opponent writes something and doesn't include a link; I won't confirm such submissions without links, just to be annoying.

No, it's just that things are blurry in our eyes, and that's why the letter "s" appears doubled. You need to drink less.:o

Many don't include a link out of modesty.

Many don't share the link out of modesty.

You don't need to write a report out of modesty :D. Not sharing the link is impolite.

Well, people like to misspell my nickname, Vit, I used to correct it, but then I gave up :)

I've reviewed the rankings for December. Please take a look and post any comments or questions here. The rating calculation program has been completely rewritten. It reads, recognizes, standardizes the headers of reports, calculates ratings, and generates tables. I'm not sure yet if it's possible to place links on the forums to tables for each player. I'll ask the Creator. For the program to recognize the text, players will need to adhere more strictly to the rules for writing report headers. The format of the report header remains ABSOLUTELY the same. Currently, 90% of players are writing them correctly. The only thing is, it would be very helpful if the author wrote the game date at the beginning in the format DD.MM.YYYY. This would speed up data entry by 2 times. 01.12.2009 vbn (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def invisible (blue, Inferno, Pyrrhus, Marius) 2SM4d(3) 136. For tournament organizers who submit information to the rating not every day, specifying the date is essential, as the seasonal rating is very sensitive to the game date. Mandatory requirements for report headers. Be sure to write player nicknames correctly - so that they match the nickname on the forums. Read carefully! No one is asking you to standardize nicknames. I currently have both ABC and ABC-1 in the table. I don't know if these are the same player or not. It will be impossible to recalculate in a couple of months. And, for example, there are more than three dozen users with nicknames similar to Alex. If you have changed your nickname, be sure to write it immediately in this thread to preserve the rating. Vitaly has Alessandro and Alessandro-1977 in his table. I'm not sure if I can bring them to a common denominator. Be sure to have parentheses after the nickname, in which the color, castle, starting hero, and final hero for each player are indicated sequentially. That is, there should be two pairs of parentheses - no more and no less. The parentheses are key elements for the program, which it uses as a reference. Only 2 pairs. Be sure that at the end of the line there is the correct name of the template and the end time of the game - in this order, and not vice versa. Be sure to check all words for spelling errors. The following were not included in the December rankings: 13.12.2009, 10:40 mals (red, Swamp, Vistan, Tazar) def temofey (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 215, 2sm4d(3) - not confirmed. 08.12.2009, SEM_56 (krasny, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) def Mals (red, Castle, Valeska, Crag Hack) 2sm4d(3), 145 - if you can somehow come to terms with KRASNY, even a person cannot understand who is red here... 19.12.2009, Deriel_Linch (Castle Valeska Valeska) def RomarioGrom (Rampart Kirq Kirq) 2sm4d(3) 312 - colors not specified. 30.12.2009, Mizrael (red, Tower, Aine, Dessa) def KostyaN (Castle, Tyris, Tyris) 144 31.12.2009, Mizrael(red, Tower, Aine, Tyraxor) def Psyche_7(Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 232 In the last two reports, the template and the color of the losing player are not specified. Please correct the errors and post them in this thread. Here are typical errors that I am currently correcting manually: (Blue, Castle, Valya, Galya) and (red, castle, Veleska, Crag) - poor Valeska! 31.12.2009, temofey(red, Valeska, Christian) def Hermit(blue, Solmyr, Solmyr) 2sm4d(3) - castles are missing. 31.12.2009, Hermit(blue, tower, Solmyr, Orrin) def AYMAN(fortress, red, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 216 - incorrect order. 26.12.2009, Alex_R (red, Necropolis, Random(Isra), Galtran) def Shamys (blue, Conflux, random(Inteus), Solmyr) 141 Jebus cross L 160% - extra parentheses. 24.12.2009, RomarioGrom(Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) lose Deriel_Linch(Blue,Neropolis, Galtran, Galtran)2smd4 (3), 213 - no castle Neropolis and template 2smd4 (3). 18.12.2009, ~no1_knows_me~ (Red, Castle, Valya, ?) def scorp (Blue, Barbarian, Gurney, ?) 2sm4d(3) 1-2-2 - do not put question marks, it is better not to write anything at all, then the program will record the starting hero and the final hero.

...

There must be brackets after the nickname, which indicate sequentially the color, castle, starting hero, final hero for each player. That is, there must be two pairs of brackets - no more and no less. Brackets are key elements for the program that it relies on. Only 2 pairs.

...

There are games where there is more than one ГГ. With Woland, we postponed a game as part of the 2010 tournament, and I had 3 of them there.
By the final hero, do they mean a participant in the FB? In that case, sometimes the first scout hero you come across participates, and there can also be more than one of them.

There are games where the main character (ГГ) is not alone. We postponed a game with Vollan as part of the 2010 tournament, so I have 3 of them there.
By "final hero," do you mean the participant in the FB? So in it, sometimes the first scout hero you come across participates, and it may also not be alone.

Is it important to you? :)
Set anyone, I think Pete and the game client (proga) don't care

Will there be features implemented later, such as personal statistics, at least the number of wins (losses)? Another question: you wrote that parentheses are a key element in the template name, like in 2sm4d(3) – do they not matter? I didn't even make it into the top 60... there were only 2-3 entries.

Yes, the program won't be stubborn. Write whichever you like more, but only one.
The final hero is no longer mandatory; if there is none, the program will repeat the starting hero.

Petya—will features like personal statistics be implemented later, at least things like the number of wins (losses)?...

Yes, definitely. Everything is already there, but it's not yet known how to place it on the site...

Another question: you wrote that brackets are a key element. In the template name 2sm4d(3), there are also brackets—don't they matter? Didn't even make it into the top 60... seems like only 2-3 total...

No, the template name can have brackets too. The main thing is that the first two pairs of brackets are placed correctly.
This is still the statistics for December. Looks like you didn't have any games in December?

Ah, yes, of course, thank you!
