Fixing up reliability rating
Are your reliability rating stats (CD/NMR etc) incorrect? We want to hear from you.

As many of you know, the CD/NMR stats aren't quite correct yet. The next step towards having a Reliable Reliability Rating is of course to correct this.

If you're aware of stats that are incorrect (yours or others), can you please email [email protected] with:

a) What you think the stats should be
b) Any gameIDs that are relevant

Please only email if you have concrete examples where you're sure the stats are wrong. This isn't an opportunity to game the system, as we won't be manually adjusting the ratings - instead, we'll be hunting and fixing the cause of incorrect ratings. And remember, we don't have a system in place yet :)

As usual, adoration, complaints, +1s, and other webdip memes can be posted below.

My stat (if I'm reading correctly) shows 0 NMR vs 683 moves entered. Zero NMR is pretty reliable, and the general consensus of me is quite the opposite. Yes, I've been a victim of life and have had a few NMR instances, but I thank the mod team for showing grace and forgiving my sins.

I think mine was taken during a "black spot" on my record. As 0/996 (NMR/Recieved) doesn't seem to fit the supposed 59% Reliability Rating

I know I've CD'd in a few live games but I'm pretty certain I do not have 13 Civil Disorders altogether compared to 4 Resigns. I can't see 9 people taking over after I CD'd in live games of the past.
VirtualBob (224 D)

My profile shows two CD's, but it should be only one ... My network connection dropped in a live game when I was very 'knew' on the site, but the other one must come from the crazy game where anlari insisted on trying to embarrass everyone by going for 34 centers. I appealed to the mods and was replaced in that game, but I expect that I was forced into CD as part of that replacement.

Probably going to save you some debugging work here, anytime a mod forces someone into CD it counts towards a CD. This should not be the case.

are all the stats supposed to be correct, i know i dont have 12 CD and ive have taken over at least 7-8 not the 1 on my account. i think JMO could verify that, as i hounded him several time to get credits ;)

No ssorenn, I suspect most/all of the new ones are not accurate.

My "bad" CD/NMR stats are correct at 0/0. I have taken over multiple CDs and those all show 0.

I would support any RR calculation taking into account the last 365 days of activity and ignoring anything in the more distant past.

I'm actually pretty impressed that I only have 2 CDs considering I average barely 4 moves per game.
JECE (1248 D)

It would help if we could see what the current imperfect formula is counting as a CD or NMR. Then we could meaningfully go back into our game history and see what is going on.

Hi guys,

I am glad to see that we finally resolved some issues and got preview implemented. I thought that was a very good first step! Much thanks to ATC and jmo and kestas!

In terms of RR, I think I agree with what I've seen so far. I think we should show how CDs or NMRs are counted and limit the calculation to the past year or 365 days. I have also updated the formula to account for taking over CDs to encourage people to take over games. So, maybe the next step to do is to run the RR again with the updated formula and corrected CD/NMR count and ask members to verify the results.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
05 Dec 14 UTC
Does that mean RR is boosted for taking over games?
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
05 Dec 14 UTC
That's correct. You can increase your RR (not past 100% of course) by play more games without NMRing or CDing or by taking over CDs. The goal is to incentivize people to play without NMRs or CDs, but if they do, then they can work to make it better. The current formula does not do that. The updated one hopefully will.

I'm giving up on the BBC. I used to think the BBC was a half-decent source of *relatively* unbiased news, but I realise that's no longer the case and may not have been for some time.

Russia Replacement in Classic Diplomacy-33
Hello everyone, we're looking for a Russia replacement in a high quality classic, anon, WTA game. Russia has a good strategic and (probably?) diplomatic position. The board is very even at 8-8-6-6-6 and the global chat decided it would be better to continue this amusing game rather than other options; there's no password on it and it is currently paused.

Altering the game for Italy?
In light of expert opinion such as this, "In a high-standard game, I would put Italy's chances of winning at zero, I'm afraid." The Game of Diplomacy by Richard Sharp, has there ever been serious consideration to altering the classic game to give Italy: i) two fleets instead of one to start, ii) another close-by neutral sc, or iii) some other incremental advantage?

Death of Tamir Rice
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-30172433
A 12-year-old, Tamir Rice, was shot by a police officer on Saturday. Rice was pointing a fake gun at citizens in a park, so police were called. The officer mistook it for a real gun, and asked Rice to put his hands up. Instead, Rice reached for the airsoft gun, which didn't have the orange tip to distinguish it as such, and was shot twice by the officer and died the following morning. Discuss
