Little Golem <a href="http://golem.tasuki.org/" target="_blank">Monster Rating Page</a>: Updated!

Looks like the Little Golem Monster Rating Page was updated - it no longer falls for the spelling change from January in DVONN and Amazon (or whichever games it were).

Bumped me down to 9th, but I still like it.

THANKS tasuki!!!

This is good news, indeed! Also, I'm very pleased to finally have reached 2nd place in the weighted ranking.

Tasuki, are you back at LG? That would be good news, too! :-)

Why there is no WYPSnumber taken to the rating?

That is not an "official" rating. If you look at your player profile, you'll see that only the "standard" WYPS rating is listed there. This is the page used in the Monster Ratings, I think.

Including ratings for every variants of every game would severely disrupt the "Monster Rating", I think. For some games, like Havannah and GO, there is a common rating for all variants. For WYPS, there are internal ratings for each variant, but these are not found on the player profiles, nor are they part of the WYPS game page. The reason for keeping different ratings here are probably that different language variants exist, and since some may be very good at one language but not know a single word in another, such "internal" ratings for different variants probably makes sense. To me, it also makes sense to keep these internal, and have only one "official" WYPS rating.

An alternative would be when a game has many variants rated differently (which mainly happens due to language issues) that the general profile would show the average rating between all the variants the player has ventured into (but that would obviously cost some more processing).

Aganju, you were lightning fast :)

I'm very sorry it took me such a long time to update, as the update was dead simple.

Marius, I'm not back (yet!), but I'm not completely away either. I miss playing ^^

There should be a script that adds new players automatically. I had to use the link to update somebody else and plug in my own ID to add myself to the rankings.

JeanHebert, there is an older post that discusses this (and also explains to do it exactly that way); I think the main point why it is not done is to avoid the load on the server. tasuki cannot directly access the server database, but uses the html interfaces we all use. Where on the website would you find that there are new people? You could try the next ID number like every some hours, but he decided to not do that. Same reason against auto-updating: immense server loading for small result. Everyone has to click his ID and back + refresh to get his ID refreshed, that limits it to the people that really want to see the result.

At the moment, the top 5 on this list are the same as the top 5 players in the 2nd Monster tournament - in the same order! A correlation between the two is hardly a surprise, though, I guess...
