I could do it going forward, but any past calculations are expensive, now that MDL has been around for a really long time.

wouldn't hurt to add that from now on I guess? not sure if it's worth to recalc for all the past games though.

I think there is no need to do it at 2 hour intervals. 24-hour (rating at the end of the day to be displayed in the graph) should be good enough? Would that reduce already considerably reduce time?

Also, since the graphs become unreadable after a while when players are active for a long time, it might even make sense to skip some days.
E.g., see: https://www.warlight.net/LadderTeam?LadderTeamID=162

I do think it doesn't make sense to implement this until the use of the current system is out of its current trial period. Let's first wait and see if we want to keep the current system and the current choices for the parameters. (i.e. whether they help MotD enough in rigging the ladder in his advantage). ;-)

Would it be possible to change the colour of the lines on the graph, after the date of changing the rating system?

It's a cheaper and less time consuming option. You could also do it for the time it was changed a few months back.

Hmm. I guess I could just do it all in one sweep now that I think about it. This is just as additional data point associated with each game. I need to do it at a 24h granularity for populating the history charts though.

This shouldn't be a problem on MDL since we have the zoom option on charts(drag over a region). Even with a lot of points, the general outline of the charts looks decent. But as a neat side-project, I'll try filtering the points on the client side using this algorithm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93Peucker_algorithm

Would it be possible to change the colour of the lines on the graph, after the date of changing the rating system?

Yeah. That's possible as well. If I don't recompute the historical data in a week or two, I'll temporarily switch to the multicolored lines. I wanted to plot the activity bonus on the same chart though(in the future), so I want to avoid using two colors for the same line.

Updates

• Redesigned the player page(http://md-ladder.cloudapp.net/player?playerId=2428496679). All the charts are more accessible now.
  
• Add a table for "Players ranked near me" on every player page. Thanks to Krzysztof for bumping this to the top of my list!
  
  

Something weird happens when displaying ranks around someone. The correct nearby players were listed, but in the wrong order. For me (ranked 28), they were ordered:
32-33-23-24-25-26-27-(28)-29-30-31
So the last two got bumped to the front. But wait, it gets slightly weirder!
Everyone from ranks 27 to 37 has the one ranked 32nd on top! (only for 37nd this is correct)
The same issue goes for other ranges:
Everyone from ranks 11 to 21 has the one ranked 16nd on top. (only for 21st this is correct)
Everyone from ranks 43 to 49 has the one ranked 48th on top.

Note, the ranks on top are all multiples of 16.

can confirm i have the same thing hwen i'm looking at my own ranking. Note that i'm 36th so i only see 31st in the bottom of my list but it needs some fixing for sure

I pushed out a quick change which should hopefully fix it. If it doesn't, I'll fix it tonight after I get home.

I don't understand why I am not ranked. I have 22 games completed. In the past I would not have been (I only have 7 since I rejoined, that would have not been expired). But I thought all games count now, even if old?

All games count towards the rating. However, you still need 20 games in the last 5 months to get a rank.

That makes sense, but why do all the reports only include ranked people?

Seems like if someone was 19-0 in their first games, you'd want to see that on the weekly report, regardless of if they are ranked or not. Isn't the point to see who is hot/cold...and would you not want to know that regardless of being ranked or not?


Just curious

Most of the leader boards have their own pre-reqs. The weekly report(with just ranked players) was implemented to help Pardon/Dogberry with their weekly reporting on the forum. It should be changed to include all active players though.

One more proposal. To add notice in host message about overriden bonuses. Not listing jyst mentioning.

If someone can give me a list of all template Ids which have overridden bonuses, I can add that to every game created.

on it, do u want link or just the name of template?

Template Id(not name) should suffice.

Added Notable Games to the player profile. This section will be a bit different to WL ladders in that MDL won't auto-populate it with the highest rated players you have beaten. Instead, every player can choose up to 5 games to be displayed on their MDL profile as notable games. You can also list a game that you lost, if you thought it was interesting/significant.

You can do this by going to the top right corner > Settings > Update notable games. Use the game Id(don't need a link). A notable game must be played on MDL, involve you and should have finished.

Awesome!!
