Title: Bot victory ?!
Post by pago on Jul 17^th, 2010, 6:43am

I am a little troubled by the last mave by silver in game 149263...

Silver played very well for a ELO1147 and then "made" a huge mistake.

No problem if silver find funny to lose its game but I'm wondering wether it will artifically increase the bot level

Well hanzack is a bit of an odd bird, he keeps his rating artificially low by losing won games on purpose like that.

It's beyond me why he's allowed to keep doing this.

He plays in unrated mode.

If the difference between ratings is bigger than 706 the ratings are not affected whatsoever.

When the best rated player wins of course.

Yeah Einstein, but since the bot's rating hasn't been affected by this game, it's tantamount to an unrated game.

Hanzack loses those games on purpose precisely for this reason. Try to keep up.

Thank you for snarkily parroting the explanation that Eltripas gave three hours before you. It was sorely needed.

I didn't read his answer before I posted mine, a couple of minutes before posting I didn't even know you made your asinine remark, bozo!

We don't live in Nazi Germany, we don't penalize people like Hanzack when they're not hurting anyone.

Funny that you'd talk about parroting when you're the one who can't be bothered to use his brains before harassing someone(Hanzack).

Trying to communicate with you is obviously like pushing a button on an insult-generating machine...

Go ahead with your fruitful tirades, bad-loser behavior and all that which I've observed in the last few months. I won't be addressing you any longer, I hope this can lower you blood pressure a bit as well.
