Motd fixed the notable games thing where it was showing your own notable games on other people's profiles.

However the notable games table is still misaligned on my profile due to Panagiotis' long name :P

Updates

• Fix a bug where it would show the notable games of the logged-in player on other player pages.
  Thanks to TheRiverStyxie for reporting it.
  
• Add an API to retrieve player data. This will allow people to build on top of MDL data sets(like Muli's script).
  
  
  • GET all players - http://md-ladder.cloudapp.net/api/v1.0/players

    Sample response: {
      "players": [
        {
          "best_displayed_rating": 1945,
          "best_rank": 1,
          "displayed_rating": 1945,
          "player_id": 2214950915,
          "player_name": "master of desaster",
          "rank": 3
        },
        {
          "displayed_rating": 1482,
          "player_id": 167696903,
          "player_name": "USA Biches"
        }
      ]
    }

  • GET a specific player - http://md-ladder.cloudapp.net/api/v1.0/players/2428496679

    Sample response : {
      "player": {
        "best_displayed_rating": 2025, 
        "best_rank": 1, 
        "displayed_rating": 2005, 
        "player_id": 2428496679, 
        "player_name": "Master of the Dead", 
        "rank": 1
      }
    }

It's maybe quite late for such ideas, but...
The name 'Multi-day ladder' doesn't really give a clue what this ladder is about - there are 4 other multi-day ladders.
So, wouldn't something like 'multi-template ladder' be better and more informative?

"mdl is the best thing on warlight :P"
"don't tell deady I said that though"

Total lies!

For those of you who missed this post, https://www.warlight.net/Forum/106092-mulis-userscript-tidy-up-dashboard?Offset=666

So cool! thanks Muli and I suppose deady :P

Thanks for the template descriptions. Great improvement.

Just noticed on Belarus the Blockade is [21] instead of [19].

What a game for Buns, it seemed that he is going to lose with that position, but he did everything perfectly to break Makedonia.

Amazing, will join it soon enough

Timinator is currently on fire by having 2033 rating while Buns is still in the 1st place with 2038. Also they have common on-going game which should be interesting.

Once there was this forum:

https://www.warlight.net/Forum/260838-mdl-template-changes?Offset=0

It was mentioned that a panel was discussing issues regarding template changes, and the link to follow these was given as https://goo.gl/uwv6js

Now the link takes us to a different Google sheet. On that sheet there's the "Todo" tab. None of what's written there is related with changes in templates.

My question: Is the panel done with the template changes? It's possible that I missed the latest update.

The google sheet has been repurposed i think for other things related to the MDL instead of keeping it as the reasons why those specific template were voted out of the MDL but in the linked thread you can find the template links that were voted out of the MDL by the panel of 8 different players afaik

My question: Is the panel done with the template changes? It's possible that I missed the latest update.

Yeah they are done with the changes afaik. The template Voting sheet was hidden, but I've made it visible again.

Pardon will not be able to do the weekly updates anymore, and we need someone who can post once a week on this thread. The weekly posts increase MDL's visibility to new players and have resulted in greater participation. Any volunteers to take over from Pardon?

It's been a while since the new rating system(see https://www.warlight.net/Forum/216823-multiday-ladder?Offset=628) was implemented on MDL.

I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on the following(or anything else):

• Does it reward a player sufficiently for wins? I haven't been too active myself, so I'd like to hear from some of the higher rated players if their growth was too slow.
  
• Do you see abnormal fluctuations in rating which cannot be explained by results?
  
• Is the activity bonus per game fair(or is it too high or too low)?
  
• Does the activity bonus cap(current cap = 80) need to increased/decreased? Do you see any highly active players not reaching max cap? Are the slower players significantly disadvantaged?
  
• Is the activity bonus daily decay reasonable?
