I've created a test webpage that will tell you how many games each
player on FIBS has. The information is not 100% reliable, since it
will list the matches that a player has recently completed, unlimited
matches, and other oddities, but it should give you a reasonable
approxmation.

http://fibs.com/savedgames/

Note that it's beta-- I just hacked it together tonight. Feel free
to let me know about any bugs.

Oh, yeah. It's only updated once a day, somewhere around 3 a.m.

About time you got around to doing something semi-useful Patti.
I *used* to have a bot on FIBS that tracked dropped matches
(by having "report" and "notify" toggled to on, I monitored
matches that would begin and end, similar to what ls_one does now).

You could ask the bot about a player and it would tell you
not only how many saved matches a player had, but it would
also list the opponents. It was called something like
"pattisabloodyidiot"... I have forgotten.

Oh yes, there is a problem with the list you have Patti, the
very first player listed has no name.

I've sorted the list, and surprise surprise, the most
dropped matches are with bots:

206 gnu
198 MonteCarlo
143 frick
132 mgnutest
109 mgnu_zp
66 NIHILBOT
62 mloner

There are 503 players that have over 10 saved matches.

Here are the top 30 excluding bots (one of my *favorite* idiot droppers
garyKay is right up there... I got *banned* because I used to
abuse this a**hole and Patti didn't like it. I abused him because
I watched him drop and drop and drop.) Believe me, FIBS was
a better place when Brutus was around to yank the chains of these
jerks.

It's an excellent resource, Patti. I predict, though, you will get
more flames than compliments for your efforts. What would be best,
of course, is an implementation such as NOBS has, which has the
capability of a
show saved <name>
command, giving all of the details. Of course the bots have the most
saved, they get dropped the most. This is a programming problem that
would probably have to be addressed by marvin.

Happy New Year Patti and all at FIBS!

This sounds like a fine idea Patti
I notice i have 12 saved matches but most of them are unlimited
matches.
I don't feel these should be included since by definition an unlimited
match is always saved.
How dop others feel about this?

They shouldn't. However, neither should matches that have been
completed during the last day. Doing it the way I did is easy and
resource-light-- I only have to look at a list of matches, not peer
inside each file. Examining each file to determine the state would
be much more resource- and coding-intensive.

I will, however, change the wording at the top to reflect unlimited as
well as recently-completed matches.

I think you should STFU and use it for the tool that it is.

Patti:

Are you planning to involve a bot to "resolve" saved matches after a certain
period of time?

No. The FIBS code is not set up to handle that, and I don't like it
as a technical solution anyway.
