XG Profile >> Progression curve question

[BlueDice]

What does each individual data point on the progression curve represent exactly?
Maybe some sort of moving average of decision errors?

Thanks

I believe that it is a weighted average of your decision errors, with more
recent decisions weighted more heavily. I can't remember where I read this,
though. My best recollection is that Xavier explained this on BGOnline once.

More arbitrary, elaborate bullshit... But perhaps not all
too useless ;)

One could ask "why not simply the average of most recent
so many decisions"? But then how could one see what kind
of a great teacher, trainer XG is, right?? :)

Looking at it from the rate of improvement point of view,
it can even be used as some sort of IQ test substitute by
the chimps trained by XG. :))

Enough. Since Michael's asking me "where is your compassion?"
for the mentally ill, obsessive-compulsive, trash of humanity
gamblers, I started feeling increasingly guilty about mocking
at the chimp too much. :(

Anyway, any news about XG3?

I had predicted that there would never come an XG3 and so far
so good on that. Yet I actually would like to be proven wrong
on that because I really would like to see how differently it
will play compared to the greatest cheating stolen-ware XG2.

In fact, if it played square and included a few new features
(suggested by others) that would let me enjoy playing against
it, I would even be fair to pay for a licensed copy.

Still, I have a bad feeling that it will be flushed down into
the sewer pit of bg bots just like its daddy Jellyfish... But
perhaps to refloat to the surface under a different name and
a different scheme by the team of petty crooks.(??)
