serakfalcon: I need a specific username to tie you to in order to sign you up.
Also, I want people to have only the vaguest notion that a larger number is better than a smaller one, and nothing more (without consulting formula), so yeah, I think the big numbers serve me fine.
timchen, yes, this is simply the idea behind the logistic curve. You can google it, or I can try to give a thumbnail later today when I have more time. I do not believe it is correct for Dominion especially, and this is my biggest innovation, however it is what is widely used and as good a starting point as any - do you have some other suggestion?
Log Parsing: Man, if someone wants to do that, for everyone, it is fine by me. But I lack the resources and time.
Qvist, well, I don't expect to have tons of things. Something like 10 games yesterday, and I expect this might go up a bit, but not just a whole ton. The URL of the log would force me to write a log parser, and then make sure it has one of the right people, and there are a few other issues. And anyway, the only thing that is STRICTLY necessary for now is the two players and the result, so okay, I don't see this as that much harder than pasting a URL, especially since you have to go and get it. Anyhow, if people don't want to do that, I'm not THAT interested in getting this done anyway - it's okay to me. But if you want to write such a parser, then people can always use that to input their data.
