If you figure out what is wrong with Ars0ns account, can you do it to mine instead!? I'd love to be a (0) forever!

ETERNAL NOOBISM!

Ok I mapped out the throttle too use as roll so far it feels kinda wierd too me but im sure ill get used too it. I may try and get a set of rudder peddles like I used too use on air warrior 3 and aces high. Hopefully that will make me a better pilot but thanks for everyones input on that issue its truly appreciated.

On my rank, I am ALWAYS on the trusted servers very rarely can you find me on another server and usualy its just a 1v1 if I am. This seriously has too be a bug lol I mean it started off that I just thought I sucked....and too a point I did but Im not THAT bad too stay a 0 for a month. I know the games acronyms allready I dont think many 0's could pull that off. Most people in here would love too always be a 0 and maybe one day I will think back and regret bringing it up but it is quite annoying when an older player looks at my big fat 0 and instantly decides that I couldnt kill a scout with a skycap turret when ive had 20+ kill games. Enough of my ranting again thanks for the help guys I would be lost without your tech help and flight lessons:)

Btw...I do hope I can resolve this soon I start @cadet on saturday.

Ars0n,

First, let me explain how the system works, then it'll be easier for you to understand what the issue is.

You initially start with an ELO Rating of 1500. Unmodified, this would make your rank (15). New players have an "Age Modifier" that adjusts their rank downward so that we can show them as new players without adjusting their actual ELO score. The modifier is basically the number of weeks you've been here - 15... and is capped at 0. So if you're brand new, the modifier is -15. In your case, you've been here since late september, and your modifier is -12.

Right now, you're 3 weeks in, with an age modifier of -12. Your ELO rating is 1188. Your rank would be 11 (it's truncated not rounded) plus the age modifier gives you a rank of -1. Of course the lowest rank you can actually have is 0, so that's what is displayed.

What has happened is that you've played plenty - but almost always on the losing team. This means that your ELO Rating is going down faster than the age modifier is going up.

While it is damn funny, it does not explain, why TE does not find any games with Ars0n in it...
