Hi,
I just noticed something with the ELO rating calculation which I believe may be a bug.
Here's the situation. I have two combat mission scenarios that I had reported from the Sie Kommen campaign, which by the way, I highly recommend to all. After the second, my friend and long time blitz opponent, David Lynch alias FGM Moondog, informed me that the scenario pack should be reported as an operation at the conclusion of the final game. I wasn't previously aware of this, but it makes good sense as the scenario pack seems to favor the allies slightly but is leveled out by the custom scoring system. Anyway, the issue is that I had noticed a nice climb in my ELO rating from the previous night after I posted a tactical victory for the allies at Walden Beach.
But, after I deleted these two games, I noticed my ELO did not change.
I believe there may be a design issue in where the ELO calculation function is being called. If all ELOs are recalculated and the mysql tables updated on each game result notification, then I think the update method is not being called on deletes. However, if it is being called on deletes, then there might possibly be a deadlock occuring on the call to update the ELOs to the mysql database. Maybe you could check the logs for somewhere around 9:00 am pacfic today for my two deletes to see if this happend. My ELO should have decreased after I deleted each game. Anyway those theories are just spectulation on my part. I'd be happy to lend a hand debugging this if no one else has the time.
Thanks,
Hessians
