Hmm..

What happens if you look at relative commander rating after you've excluded all but the games that are within 10% of even?

Probably something very close to what we see when examining teams. I might call upon Bayes at some point.

I'd suggest reversing the polarity and modifying the phase variance.

On the scatter graph can you get specific information on the game with the point near (-200, -5)?

Does the scatter graph take into account the number of people on the teams and the difference between numbers of people? There are some weird instances where a team can be up on helo but down several players. I know three 7's don't add up to a 21 but I think it still means the game is more even than helo alone says.

That scatter plot takes the difference in skill in to account over the entire course of the game. So if team 1 was up by 25 for the whole game, they'd be marked as +25. If they were up for 25 for half of the game, then team 0 were up by 25 for the other half, it'd be 0. etc etc

Im unsure what you where trying to accomplish by this entire mess with the PMs and such. The only thing I can think of was you were having a go at @#(! stirring. Many around here do it and are significantly better at then you; Muppet, IB, Drizzo, Shiz who all to more or less of a degree have their tongue firmly planted in their cheek. The difference between them and yourself, other then the stock pile of good will and respect built over the years is none of them would EVER be silly enough to make the claim you did:

" I have finally looked into the Allegskill equations, and operational functioning. So, I can see its very reliable in determining winners/losers of any given game quite accurately. "

You asserting that a few moments was all you needed to determine the validity of the entire matter has me aghast at your complete lack of social skills, and clue. Do you not realize how much you pissed all over the work of Baker? The $#@!ing guy put in 100s of hours, VALIDATING that it does work, has MSResearch asking for his work and YOU say I had a glance at it and *meh* it all good!

You and I dislike no no detest is closer... yeah detest each other and I for one am was completely comfortable with this idea. Im sure you feel the same about me. So why am I even bothering acknowledging your existence? A small part is the respect I hold others in and their opinion of you ( take a bow Oderus among others ), partly because I can see you have been trying to change your ways for a time now, some my thoughts on you have a negative effect on how you are being treated, but mostly watching the awkward kid get the @#(! kicked out him makes me physically ill.

So consider it a parting gift from me to you. ( im afk for a few months from game due to RL )

Welcome to Allegiance MaliciousWraith I hear you are quite an accomplished gamer. The community is quite harsh to those who lack maturity. I'd advise you to consider that before posting. See you in game.

It's hard to lose that rep, MrC. One small slip sets off more people than you think, thus it takes 3 times as long to gain that respect back. Thank god my girlfriend doesn't get as pissed as IB when you make a mistake.

MSResearch is asking for Baker's work? `4! Personally, I think that the maker of ASGS should get a patent on it and rent it out to, say, EA, Blizzard, and Microsoft as a way of preventing piracy. If it was a community effort, it would be all kinds of awesome for them to share the patent, and send the money right back into Allegiance. If Allegiance doesn't need that much money, a big portion of it could go to charity.

Yeah, yeah it does.

`gu, not my ex-girlfriend. I slipped up twice and she nailed my ass to the wall for it repeatedly over eight months. Care to share your secret on finding such a forgiving girl?

People like Greyslayer, Nak and Geminii. Unfortunately they don't play anymore, so who do you model yourself after? Who do you work yourself up to beat? Nobody is really that good anymore.

I dunno, I'd put Aarm in their category, and probably Spidey these days, too. CoD could be in that category too if gets back into a squad and keeps playing.
