It does not. I have the newest version of GM installed (and it works), but BOB doesn't.


What doesn't work?

C.


Sorry - I thought BOB did not work with FF3. That was incorrect.

Re: The issue with average

Saying the ratings are flawed, so soon, is similar to getting bad dice in 2 games, and saying there must be something wrong with them.

No, it's like saying I have a brain and can predict where the ratings are going. You don't have to experience everything for an extended amount of time to know ...

Re: The issue with average

The issue with average.....is that people haven't given enough time to see what will be average. Regardless of what anyone thinks SHOULD be average, there is an actual average rating. Over time, this average rating will become more consistent (won't fluctuate as much), and will make prejudging ...

exactly! that's why the new system isn't as good as the old. positive or negative is easy. 1-5 is subjective.

Re: Fair Ratings for everyone! change the rating system!

take this out of the context of ratings:

suppose I give you 5 numbers. 45, 56, 67, 78, 89. What's the average? 67.
suppose those numbers are now 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. What's the average? 3!

The problem here is grade inflation. Everyone thinks they deserve an A (or 5) unless they did something wrong. That ...

Re: [09-Jun-2008] Ratings & Medals

i agree with others -- the new system seems more arbitrary than the previous positive, neutral, negative system. one person may rate in one manner, with lots of 5 stars, another (more critical) player might rate with very few 5 stars.

i suspect that the people that play the most might rate people ...

So there's these stars now, no more feedback. What happened, and why?
