Why don't they already work? They should already work. Anyone know?

Re: Neutral forces

I've actually played this (it's a variant suggested in the rulebook). We found it very unbalanced.

Re: Some ideas

@Clesar - it's not possible to create new accounts on the dev forum (and hasn't been for some years). I've spent some time migrating all the topics there to the github issue tracker. It's better to point people in that direction.

The link is at the bottom of every page on the site;

Re: Search facility broken

This is actually an extremely annoying bug. I looked into it at one point - I think, the definition of "joinable" is the problem (for historical reasons, it's something to do with the minimum bet, rather than whether or not there are empty seats) since a number of things relied on it, it wasn't easy...

[ACCEPTED] Site section?

It'd be good to have a site section for announcements/bug reports/feature requests/arguments about PPSC.

Re: Are we ever going to get TLS on this site?

The answer to the question in the OP is "probably not", I'm afraid.

Re: Unable to save orders / load

This occasionally happens to me on mobile (and has for years). I have no idea what causes it, but it's only 1 in every 100 order saves. If changing your network settings fixed it, maybe it was because part of the javascript wasn't loading correctly. This could explain the intermittent failure on mob...

Re: EIDRaS Ratings

It's really better to call GR "Elo inspired" rather than "Elo based". Many of the features that make Elo effective are not present (for better or worse) in GR.

Re: EIDRaS Ratings

A ratings system that only factors in your last year of games is going to be very unstable.

Re: EIDRaS Ratings

in Ghost Rating, losses against expert opponents and beginners are not rated equally. Yes, they are. This is because GR doesn't have a constant k-factor - the ratings of all players in this game is an input into the k-factor, which cancels out the earlier weightings. Have a play with some numbers i...

Re: Move/Results Database?

It wouldn't be appropriate to give out database access - it's not designed to be given out, and the site has a reasonable responsibility to keep players private data well, private. Plus the only way to access the database is via shell access to the account that hosts the site. The "only experienced ...
