Flaw in ath logic? (6 posts)

    As I understood, an ath is just registered for games played more than 100 times. But what if you have the top time in a game and then eventually the 100 line is crossed, shouldn't the ath register four you then?

    Hi Eq.

    It should.
    What game are you referring to?

    I looked up member LuckyLuke, who has been beaten by Thomsiboms in one of my games. He should have aths in some other games (nearly all of the view he played), so I was puzzles that he has not a single ath.

    I've seen now that the aths are shown as registered on the games's info pages (but not on his community page).

    Eq.

    It works like this:

    * An ATH is always registered for the person who sets it.
    * An ATH doesn't show up on the first page "broken records" unless it has >100 games
    * An ATH doesn't show up on your community profile (score page) unless it has been played more than 500 times.

    You are quite right. The logic surrounding it is quite messy, although I don't see a formal bug here. Anyway, I'll align it.

    The "reasoning" behind this in the first place was only to avoid overcrowding the first page "record broken" stats with any new game that was created, as it happens time after time when a game is new, for obvious reasons.

    I didn't know the 500 times rule. Maybe you've written it somewhere and I forgot that I read it? But know that I know it, I don't think the logic's messy, it's just that it isn't intuitively understanable and that one have to know about those 100/500 rules. Maybe they could be written down somewhere near the statistics.

    So question answered: Flaw in ath logic? No :) Thanks for explaining!
