This is more of a philosophical irreuglarity than an issue of data integrity: How is it that in the very first game Omar has a rating of 1516 and illz has a rating of 1595?
Perhaps Omar put the rating system into place before starting to archive the games. Approximately how many games were played over what time span before archiving began? I'm just curious.

I just discovered 9 duplicate games in my copy of the games database. (Most have been there for a long time, but discovering the most recent made me look for the rest.)
3913=3914
12535=12536
13047=13048
17769=17770
18262=18263
18274=18275
18513=18514
26280=26281
28600=28601
Maybe some of the duplicates have already been removed from Omar's official database, but they were still in mine, so I thought I would post FYI.

Omar, this isn't a big deal, but the 2006 game archive is starting to become a large download for me. Would you be willing to make a new archive for the second half of 2006 starting July 1? And maybe in 2007 (if Arimaa continues to grow exponentionally in popularity) break down the archive month by month?

Thanks for that suggestion Karl. The games file for 2006 was already getting to be over 14M which is pretty close to 16M for all of 2005. I split the file up by months now, so it should be easier to download.
I've also deleted the duplicate games from the database.
The reason for my rating being higher is because I had played some rated test games while testing the server before releasing it. I cleared the games database, but forgot to reset the ratings.

Thanks for taking care of this, Omar. I know you are busy and have a million things on the todo list (partly because I keep making suggestions). It's great that you keep improving an already great service.

It has been much easier to download the updates since the files split by month. There seems to be a small bug, though: the games for June keep getting updated each week, and the games for July are not yet appearing. Take care of it when you can. It's not a big deal.

Yes, that's intentional. The process to generate the logs runs once a week on Sunday. So for the first 7 days of the month it will generate the previous months logs (but I do it for first 10 days just to be safe). After that it will start generating the current month's logs.

Oh, OK. I had noticed that the July logs started appearing, and I assumed you had fixed it. It's even better to know it wasn't broken.
