Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
Hello, this is "goose88".
I had achieved the highest activeness badge as of about a month ago. I went on a trip where I had poor service last week, so I resigned in 2-3 games where I was about to die so as to not hold the games up (or get skipped), and I think I ended up getting skipped maybe once in another game. In other contests I often moved with only a few hours left. At the end of my trip my badge dropped down one rank, which I guess I expected. But since, I haven't been skipped once or even let a game get down to within 1-2 hours of skipping, but my badge has twice more dropped all the way to the regular circular dull shield. What's happening here?
What is the formula again? Does it matter I only had 2-3 active games for a week or so? Or are you penalized if you take 20 hours to move versus 3 hours? Do the resignations hurt me for some reason? Or perhaps it's just a glitch?

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping for seemingly no rea
The formula may be (no. of game finished in two months-no. of times being skipped)÷10
Example:If you get highest badge at end of Jan,and you only finish few games(may be 3 to 4) in Feb and March.In April, you may only get level 2 badge.
Correct me if that is not correct.

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping for seemingly no rea
True. And my badge has been all over the place: even though my activity level is usually steady.
Thanks!

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping for seemingly no rea
Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression it just had to do with how quickly you played your turn. I feel like if I'm in only 3 good long private games at a time but I always make my turn in 10 hrs or less, I should be considered a dependable player. I guess I'll join a few more games!

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping for seemingly no rea
basically, you have to have 5-8 games constantly playing without getting your turn skipped to have the highest activeness badge.
Which is ok I guess because it is for the very active players who constantly have 5-8 games at a time

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping for seemingly no rea
ok, i have changed the logic to this:
please tell me if this is ok or nor (actually only skipping will drop badge)
logic:
- if anyone has at least 3 games in last 2 months than he has max badge (if he has no skips in this 2 months)
- every skip in 2 months will drop the badge by one badge.
what do you think (actually it is in, so you can see your new badges now)

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
I had the highest badge and just dropped to the lowest.
Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
Staying roughly around level 3. But practically no active games currently. (I am joined but we rarely take our turns )
Thanks!

please tap on the badge and on the badge statistics and tell me your values.
Coolguy: you need to have a fresh update on a game to are playing to have the "job" calculate your new badge.
Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
I log in and out of my account quite regularly - is that enough to refresh it? I have 5-8 games (can't remember) but have only taken around 4 turns total this week.
Thanks!

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
No I updated - level 3
My data in the last 2 months- 5 finished or long running games. I think that is correct.

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
yes on new calculation 5 skip will bring you down to lowest.
any suggestion to change? 9 skips is not so few (however the 71 is high too)

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
No, I think 9 skips should be flagged, but I haven't been skipped at all. I take my turns multiple times a day. I never get to less than 12 hours.
The only thing I can think of is that it is counting "resignation/withdraw" as a skip as I have surrendered quite a few games. Could that be possible?

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
No. Only skips are consifered as skips
Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
hmm, i dropped from Level 5 to Level 3 today.
Stats say:
Skip/Kick (which a can not remember): 1
Games: 20
So value should be (20-1)/10=1.9
value > 1 should be top badge.
So why did it drop to level 3?

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
No it minuses 1 after the divided by 10 (so 1 skip equals 10 games) ... I think

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
Then the Information should be updated.COOLguy wrote:No it minuses 1 after the divided by 10 (so 1 skip equals 10 games) ... I think
There it says:
and furtherCalculation:
(games-skips)/10=value
So even if calculation isvalue>1: top badge
1>value>0.8: 2nd badge
games/10 -skips = value
I should have 20/10 -1 =1 : 2nd badge
which means, not only calculation is not as in the Information but also the values correspondig the badges differ from what is said there ....

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
as i wrote above this is the new logic:
any suggestion checnging the current logic? (maybe every 10 running games will "grant" you to have a unpenaltized skip?)
and yes the texting is not updated until we finalize the logic.logic:
- if anyone has at least 3 games in last 2 months than he has max badge (if he has no skips in this 2 months)
- every skip in 2 months will drop the badge by one badge.

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
Ups, sorry. I probably did not read that accurately and thought this was outdated by the calculation in the Information.Daniel (the dev) wrote:as i wrote above this is the new logic:and yes the texting is not updated until we finalize the logic.logic:
- if anyone has at least 3 games in last 2 months than he has max badge (if he has no skips in this 2 months)
- every skip in 2 months will drop the badge by one badge.
But if I understand this one right, with one skip (which I still can not remember, really) I should have 2nd badge, or did I miss another Information?
Sounds good to me. Maybe you should put a maximum.Daniel (the dev) wrote: any suggestion checnging the current logic? (maybe every 10 running games will "grant" you to have a unpenaltized skip?)
If someone joins 100 games and has 10 skips he is quite unreliable I think, so if you change it like this:
10 games will "grant" you to have 1 unpenaltized skip
20 games will "grant" you to have 2 unpenaltized skip,
> 30 games will "grant" you to have 3 unpenaltized skip
it might be better ...
Edit:
hmmm, I had a look in my recent games now.
There are two games still running:
One that I lost, the other I have withdrawn.
It seems that there was a problem with me withdrawing so I was kicked instead.

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
i think having 1 skip on 10 games is fairly good.
i have changed to what i suggested : every 10 games gives 1 unpenaltized skip.
lets see how this works.

Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
I think this is what happened to me also. I withdrew from many games, then I dropped rank.Eiswolf wrote:hmmm, I had a look in my recent games now.

But I seem to be back up to a decent rank now so I'm happy.
Re: Activeness badge continues dropping IMPLEMENTED
I am up to badge 5 for the first time. I like this new system
