| EDIT: How could I fail to mention Scotty's "Hello computer..." bit in ST IV?!? |
|
I always loved that one I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw it the first time. 
I know the one you refer to damn if I can pin it down to one show name.

I'll take a guess. "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Not Googled

| The good news about the bad blocks is that the effects decay with each successive block |
|
Don't forget that the block are first 30 days block and at a time, they become 70 days blocks.

from my calculations I should be going up by at least 10,000 / game and i'm only going up by about 6,000 / game this has happened for the laST 4-5 games i've submitted
1260000/4.5825756985= 274,952 for the last 30 day block
60000/sqr(21 games)
60000/4.5825756985 = 13,093
I put the extra loss of about 6,000/game to my bad blocks (I could be wrong |

If you submit onky 60K games, if you have already N games in a block, adding one game give you:
60K * (N+1) / sqrt(N+1) - 60K * N / sqrt(N) =
60K * sqrt(N+1) - 60K * sqrt(N) =
60K*( sqrt(N*(1+1/N)) - sqrt(N)) =
60K * ( sqrt(N) * sqrt( 1 + 1/N) - sqrt(N)) =
60K * sqrt(N) *(sqrt(1+1/N) - 1).
since sqrt(1 + 1/N) can be approximated to 1 + 1/2N the formula became :
60K * sqrt(N) * (1 + 1/2N - 1) =
60K * sqrt(N)/2N = 30K/sqrt(N).
With N = 20 this gives 6 700. And this is what you are experiencing.

| Thanks.. I almose fell out of my captians chair when i saw you slingshot ahead like that.. I was expecting you only to advance by about the same amount as me (maybe slightly more..) not the huge amount you did.. |

Well, he have a nice submission profile:
one game on the 5/24/04, on other on the 6/16/04 and one other in the 7/15/04. Very nice for some rollercoster effect
And one the 11/13/04, he had one game aged of 121 days and one other of 150 days.
But on the 11/14/04, there was only 1 game aged of 122 days on this block. And he has lost 6K with his submission He has now 1 181K points. But if he doesn't submit any more and a recalc occurs in 10 days, he will have 1 199K points since the games from end of july will enter the block aged from 121 to 150 days. For july, the submission rate is steady, and the drop in submission rate is now in a 70 days block, meaning that the impact on score is lessened.
But you JT qwerk, you have still problem linbked with the following submission:
06/21/04 - 08/03/04 - 08/31/04.
You will experience a nasty gap starting the 11/19/04 that will end the 12/2/4 due to an empty block for games aged from 121 to 150 days. But it should be the last rollercoaster since after that, you will no longer have empty block, since the bad submission period will hit a 70 days block

so its not from block cramming.. more like block gapping..
