The lower initial phi of 1 instead of 2 seems good. It now seems to needlessly penalize new players. But can you back it up with some argument/example? Suppose a new account does pretty well on its first day, an 8-2 record against various random opponents, what would the resulting rating be for these two options?
Quote from: Stef on 08 May 2017, 12:42:12 PMFirst, my hunch is that currently (average) phi is too high, because sigma is too high. (Especially at the top of the leaderboard). That makes subtracting 2*phi more important. I don't have a strong opinion on that, but I would continue to subtract at least 1.5*phi.
I'm uncertain about using (mu - phi) over (mu - 2 * phi). While there is no need for quick degeneration of levels, I do actually believe you get worse at Dominion if you don't play for a while, and I don't want people that haven't played for half a year to still be near their old rating/rank.

I am tempted to change the system to immediate updates over daily updates. Not that I really prefer that myself, but people seem to like it and it prevents some questions about the current leaderboard.

Most of all I don't want to introduce new rules/parameters too often. Ideally you or someone could compose an actual short list of proposed changes and when there are no valid counterarguments we just do that. That would require filling in some more details.
Quote from: jeebus on 28 April 2017, 04:53:02 PMIt is about maximum 14.5 levels difference now. If both players have the same phi, that means a maximum difference for mu of about 2. And that means a maximum implied winning probability of about 88%.
Is it plus/minus 30 just like the default when you start a table?
