IBL Week 5 games

This week was marked by poor turnout, with 2.5 divisions on Sunday and 1.5 on
Monday.  Poor Washin showed both nights but couldn't play due to incomplete
divisions.  On Monday night we only got 1 division and that got messed up...
for the full (and mildly) amusing story a la Cat_Buttafuoco, scroll to the
bottom of the web page.

So here are Sunday results:

div 5a1 seedings:  1.Wmute  2.Hoov  3.Diamond  4.BMaster    Wmute 0-3
div 5a2 seedings:  1.Ender  2.Bleak  3.Angel  4.Mel         Bleak 3-0

Wmute dropped 186 points and 3 ranks, while Bleak ended his losing streak
and gained 130 points and 3 ranks.  BM quickly gained 132 points to become
a Sluggo Class player (in the tradition of naming after famous old people).
Ender's 1-2 upset hurt him a bit.  Most curious is Hoov, who continues his
curious IBL savvy by going 2-1 as top seed in division 1.  I guess he is the
ultimate partner?  

A word on rankings:
We are now only showing recently active players on the web page, although at
the bottom is a link to the full list including inactive folks too.
The recent ranks are shown in order, but internally the system still remembers
your "real" rank in terms of all players, and that is used to derive rank
*changes* to avoid big shifts depending on who shows up week to week.

A minor bug in the web ratings calculations was corrected.  This did not 
affect the actual ratings each week, just the live report thing.

Monday night

No games were played!

Email report from Cat_Buttafuoco:
well monday was very fucked all the way around. first off sam bowed out of div1 because of his bad connection with kovy. washin showed up for a second night of ibl to find out he couldn't play yet again. once the whopping ONE division was formed (me/santa/ender/kovas) at 8:10 or so it took me and kovy about 20 more minutes to get santa/ender's attention on #ibl (apparently the was lagged bad). then (due to the ircle lag) it took another 10-15 minutes just to get the fuckin game started because of ip/pw miscommunication. THEN eventhough my connection was fine with princeton and flawless with sam, once kovy entered the wash it all went to hell and i started splitting. this time i'm pretty sure it was my net's fault. fuck me, maybe i should bow out. we got about 15 minutes of total playing time in at which point me and kovy were in trouble but were counting on snausage's innebriated state to start working for us.
