For instance, sir_macelon gets to play in only 4 maps now. 2011-08-27T11:32:41 *** Chris_0076 has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) 2011-08-27T11:34:51 *** Chris_0076 has joined #aichallenge 2011-08-27T11:37:24 *** Chris_0076 has quit IRC (Client Quit) 2011-08-27T11:40:30 *** Chris_0076 has joined #aichallenge 2011-08-27T12:25:00 eashoka: Interesting, only height_map_7 & 8 are played by sir_macelon but the opponents change. 2011-08-27T12:25:55 it could also be that the game manager was explicitly looking for 2 player maps and only these two are available 2011-08-27T12:30:48 *** sigh has joined #aichallenge 2011-08-27T12:40:28 mleise : and it is getting worse. he used to play 4 maps till few days ago. same is true opponent wise as well. for instance, DarkMomoBot was used to play all others till yesterday or so now it too is limited to play only few selected bots resulting other bots are now limited to a even smaller set of opponents. 2011-08-27T12:45:22 *** mathis_ has joined #aichallenge 2011-08-27T12:57:24 eashoka: again this might be a result of the ranking algorithm converging to a fixed order 2011-08-27T12:57:55 I don't say it is good, but probably actually showing a healthy behaviour 2011-08-27T12:59:31 The only bots that may really affect DarkMomoBot are these few remaining bots. It's gonna be difficult to change that, I could imagine. 2011-08-27T13:01:40 Every player needs the same amount of games, but yet some players are already at a pretty much fixed rank. This might have lead to very small groups of players for each match. And that again results in 1vs1 matches on only two matching maps. 2011-08-27T13:02:06 *** delt0r_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 258 seconds) 2011-08-27T13:07:01 mleise :You are correct. However, I'm not sure it is a healthy behaviour. looks like a bug to me or an incorrect strategy. we didn't see this opponent locking behaviour in planet wars 2011-08-27T13:08:57 we had more activity there 2011-08-27T13:09:38 look for any player (regardless of their rank, skill) who is not in this set and you will see that they are limited to play only with opponents in the given set. the set (which is shrinking) is : 2011-08-27T13:12:59 mleise : (mathis, revolt, UVants, Trumpet, barisdermerdelen, svenhelge, luda, humwum, speedy_consiles, eightball) I may have missed few bots but this seems to be it. (until recently , DarlMomoBot was also in this group) all players I have seen can not play with anybody else but these players. May be this is the bottleneck in the scheduling system. 2011-08-27T13:13:01 mathis: eashoka, TrumpeT, HumWum, FlagCapper, integer, martinordi, Scpeedy_Co, GreenTea, barisdemir, kadiyaa, eightball, paratrechi, UvAntsBeta, DarkMomoBot, revolt, phillc 2011-08-27T13:13:06 thats a lot of bots! 2011-08-27T13:14:10 eashoka: from which player did you generate your list? 2011-08-27T13:14:35 mleise : eashoka, Flagcapper, kadiyya, darkmomo, greentea etc are NOT in the set actually. 2011-08-27T13:14:50 they are in mathis' set 2011-08-27T13:15:19 *** delt0r_ has joined #aichallenge 2011-08-27T13:15:20 yes. mathis is in the set! 2011-08-27T13:15:35 mliese : you need to take someone who is not in the list 2011-08-27T13:16:01 take any player outside of the set I have given. 2011-08-27T13:16:19 sir_macelon for example? 2011-08-27T13:16:24 yes 2011-08-27T13:16:33 *** dvladim has joined #aichallenge 2011-08-27T13:17:00 ahrr, someone fix this sql please :p 2011-08-27T13:17:07 greentea, flagcapper, eashoka, paratrechina, kadiyya anybody.... 2011-08-27T13:17:42 i would need to find someone who plays something else but 1-on-1 2011-08-27T13:21:29 *** sigh has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) 2011-08-27T13:21:57 hmm, yeah it looks like some obvious opponents (with few games as well) are missing in your opponent set 2011-08-27T13:22:24 smly-- would be a candidate I think 2011-08-27T13:23:36 *** Naktibalda has joined #aichallenge 2011-08-27T13:23:46 you mean he should also be in the set ?

But I see no obvious reason why you should not play that bot any more. 2011-08-27T13:27:36 yes. it looks like a bug isn't it? everybody in the system(who are not in the set X) can play only against members in set X. right now, set X is seems to be : ( mathis, revolt, UVants, Trumpet, barisdermerdelen, svenhelge, luda, humwum, speedy_consiles, eightball, zounds) 2011-08-27T13:28:57 only 12 bots! and set X too is keep shrinking. so do available maps for all who are outside of X 2011-08-27T13:30:49 I don't believe there are fixed sets, but dmj111 or McLeopold probably know what the reason can be 2011-08-27T13:31:05 since everybody else is waiting until one from set X becomes available, they all have to wait for long durations. since opponents are limited, one drifts towards 1-1 games eventually. 2011-08-27T13:32:11 mleise : it is not a fixed set but a result of some bug, I think. 2011-08-27T13:33:08 yeah so let's wait and dring a cup of tea :D 2011-08-27T13:33:57 we should make a list with all the things that need to be looked upon by McLeopold when he returns 2011-08-27T13:34:05 mleise : yeah :-) I like Green Tea. 2011-08-27T13:34:36 mleise : ah, where has he gone? 2011-08-27T13:38:12 *** foRei has joined #aichallenge 2011-08-27T14:11:00 *** mathis_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) 2011-08-27T14:16:46 *** Obeleh has joined #aichallenge 2011-08-27T14:16:57 Heyall 2011-08-27T14:20:16 Obeleh : hi 2011-08-27T14:22:55 Programming a bit...
