Exposed me. :-D
Yeah, the meaning was, it is always an honour playing someone like Gamer, and an opportunity to learn. And also I hope to play many more games :-D
Winning him is a different matter. :cry:
Second try up :-P -
Whackamatt (Axis) vs. dawgoneit (Allies +15)–Whackamatt wins

Ghost/Bold game three rubber match - Ghost (allies +13) over Bold in round 22 - one of the largest naval battles in recent memory skews hard for the allies and the axis concedes. All three games of the season series went to the allies with fairly low bids, very interesting!

why?
And btw, am I getting it right - my win over Balladeer was actually REDUCING my PPG? I have another game with Mallery that I’m going to win with almost certainty - should I urge him not to report it to avoid falling down even further?
Let me just say, if that’s the case - it’s a silly flaw in the ranking system. There HAS to be some way to avoid that.
-
You fell because that was Balladeer’s 4th game. Causing him to be tier 4 instead of starter tier 3. This dropped his past opponents. JWW dropped to tier 2. That caused a lot of other people to be adjusted. You’ve played pretty much everyone, so when a couple players drop tiers, you take hits. Opposite is also true.
You only go down very slightly for beating a tier 4. A 3.30 playing a tier 4 is a pretty severe mismatch.
You are 20-0 against tier 4’s. Those are not competitive games, frankly.
-
You are 1-15 against tier 1’s. I would argue that you are still over-rated at 3.30. So your beating up on tier 4’s is actually putting your PPG closer to where it should be. System is near perfect :-D
-
And no you should not urge him not to report it. Finished league games are to be reported.
You have played 67 games and are at 3.30. You know how much a +3 is going to reduce your PPG? Probably by less than .01.
You should be playing tier 1-3, Roboto. Again, you are 20-0 against tier 4, and probably very few of those were even close.
-
Actually, if I were you I would play tier 2’s and 3’s, and play 4’s for fun (which is probably why you play them).
At 1-15 against tier 1’s, you’re definitely not in that category. I mean, the dice are going to give you a win once in a while.
20-0 against tier 4’s - that just proves my system is working great. You didn’t even allow a single DICE win to them.

The Known Soldier over Karl7 Allies
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=34491.75
Terrible game for me… the dice bled the allies dry including a couple real woppers like the japanese dd’s that can kills numerous subs and planes again and again in one off battles… :-P

this isn’t my day, another dicing… this time in a big sea battle… sometimes I hate this game… :-P

I’m not arguing that your system isn’t putting me at the right spot or that it’s ranking ppl wrongly. It is in fact working very accurately.
I just think it’s very counter-intuitional that you’re dropping after a win, no matter who you defeated.
I take challenges from everyone, not even looking at your spreadsheet. In fact, I have not checked it for at least half a year. And I am also challenging basically everyone. Especially newcomers to that site, because I want to welcome them, give them advice and guide them. And while most of them turn out to be tier 3-4 (like Balladeer), sometimes they turn out to be quite good. Your posts made it look like I was grinding on tier 4 ppl to get cheap wins and frankly, I do not want to be perceived that way.
I’m used to ELO rating systems. In these, you just get a +1 or even a +0 when defeating a much lower opponent. Being punished for winning against a tier 4 means that I will be very careful at choosing my opponent next season. Including refusing any challenges from newcomers, which is a shame.
