Here is my suggestion:
1. we unvouch ALL players with 5 games or less. There are 3 reasons for me:
A) inactive players lose their skill.
B) inactive players miss the 'evolution' of the game.
C) Most importantly: accounts get reset after 3 months and they can be picked up by someone else. If you think that is just 'theoretical': I went through the vouched accounts list and I remade the account "console" which is vouched. I think we are lucky I took over the account, because what if a ban-dodger takes over an account?
To prevent this, all accounts who are inactive or nearly inactive: out. If the inactive players want to play again they can ask for a re-vouch in the vouch section, after which the moderators will judge if he/she still is suitable.
2. The important part, the formula. This is my proposal:
One must satisfy two of the three conditions to not be unvouched:
- A) Have played more than 25 games if one is vouched for 1 month or longer.
B) Not be in bottom 10 in the ELO-rankings.
C) Have 43% win-rate or higher.
If one does not satisfy at least two of the three conditions, one will be unvouched for:
- 1st time: 2 weeks
2nd time: 1 season
3rd time: permanently
To be clear what we are talking about, I will make a list of people who did not meet the conditions last season.
Last season:
A+B +C= Omatic- 859.53 (8/17) |
A+B= No one.
B+C = VigorousApathy
A+C = - Faith_Fanzine; 9/15 (37%) xmilena; 7/11 (38%) Stoneage; 7/11 (38%) tpy6ugyp; 5/10 (33%)
So last season 6 players would have been unvouched with this formula. Looking at the names I think this would not have been unreasonable.
At the time of writing, there will be more unvouches than there would have been last season if we would carry it out now. Beware there is still half a season to go, so the number of unvouches still can either increase or decrease. My prediction is that they will decrease, because 1. if more games are played and the season lasts longer, luck will be less of an influence and bad streaks will be compensated, and 2. people will have more games played, so condition A will be less of an influence.
So the people who would be unvouched at this moment on the basis of B+C are:
Faith_Fanzine; 2/8 (20%), scuds; 2/9 (18.18%), feor 28/39 (41.79%), lorddus 11/20 (35.48%), Rock.Steady 4/14 (22.22%), iightfyre 18/32 (36%), Johannaa 21/37 (36.21%)
Please note that the three players with most games in the bottom 10 will not be unvouched under the current circumstances, which confirms that there will be less unvouches at the end of the season. Most notable is that the number last, Martiny, will not be unvouched with 65/85 (43.33%).
I really don't want the kind of drama we had at the end of season 1, so if you do not agree with anything I proposed, please post here now and not at the end of the season. I am determined to get a good outcome, so I will take all constructive suggestions seriously. If you come here to flame or make inappropiate comments I will delete your comment and you can expect to be unvouched from the LIHL for a while. Stay on-topic and constructive.
Hope to hear from you.
