Histographic : LulThyme rose from 154th to 153rd.

At first I thought someone had their previous entry excluded. But, I took at the table. There only exist 87 players on there. So, how is LulThyme now 153nd instead of 154th?

 

[superslug]

That's an interesting question, and it looks like the reporting thing has been doing that for years.

I would suspect the official Histographic table is counting each player's best game on the tables, and the update forum report that's autogenerated might be reflecting all histographic games in the database overall. If it's just a bug in the update announcement, I can live with it.

Yes, what's interesting about the bug is that a game has to actually disappear from the list of histographic games in order for LulThyme to improve his standing. Not sure how that happens.

A #10 game would fall off if anything better got posted on that table.
