well, I for one think we should boycott the site and give up all faith in the system over this

Can't GR (and other Elo-based rankings) change even if you don't play any games?

I DEMAND JUSTICE

@Zybodia

For GR at least, it only changes when you play games. The example being June for you Zybodia. You didn't finish any games, and your GR points didn't change either.

What does tend to change, is you GR *ranking*. Other people can move up and down in relation to you. so if a few guys in front of you do really badly one month, and you didn't play any games, They will fall below you and you will rise up. So there's a slight difference between GR rating and ranking.

Alright,

First off, Yoyo is correct. There's a reason we publish GR irregularly and hesitantly, and it's because, in addition to the fact that we're not entirely comfortable with the system when it is working as intended, it's also run using an old piece of code that none of us are intimately familiar with, so it's difficult for us to add site changes into it. I'm working on making it accurate for all games (SoS, unranked, and the ten player variants) now, but that may not come as quickly as some would like.

Second, it wasn't our intention to mislead you. This was a miscommunication, and it's my fault, so I'd like to apologize to all of you for that.

@Zybodia, Elo doesn't have dropoff over time, and GR is basically just Elo extended strangely to seven players.

Whelp, time to dust off the ol' pitchforks and torches.

Is it exciting to be on the other side, goldie?

Very, but I'm all alone. Don't lynch mobs usually have a lot of people?

Only the last update of GR has this problem.

SoS games were counted incorrectly too.

I thought I already posted about this.

@goldfinger I'll join the mob. I don't much care about GR, but seeing someone with a pitchfork just makes me want to celebrate!

For those demanding justice, we considered removing the head of the person responsible for this egregious mistake (and putting it on a spike outside the mod office), but then we realised GR would never be updated again.

I've been helping ghug to generate GR on his own, so that we can get right to the justice.

I'm glad someone shares my love of pitchforks and mobs.

ATC, just take Bo's head. Everything's always his fault anyways, right?

Basically.

All this tells me is that the World Cup rankings are as general a guideline as they could be, and some teams could be very underrated, while others overrated. This makes the groups even more interesting.

Is GR going to counted in the tourney?

Best thing to do with GR is pretend it doesn't exist. WebDip is a communist utopia in which all are equal. Well, until the new ratings system appears anyway, but that's not showing much chance of happening any time soon.

I demand justice for my unranked defeat

This might explain how I accidently let my GR creep back up
