That's probably possible but won't be easy for me personally to do since I'm not much of a code guy.  But I do think currently it starts with the total number of players that joined the game, and then subtracts out watchers to get to the 2 people playing (a 1v1).  It could probably be changed to instead count the number of people that played from 0 up, instead of from the number of total players down, which would make a watcher dying or disconnecting irrelevant

You should add simple checks for dates of games before they are put into the ladder equation. That would keep the active players where they should be on the ladder? I think 90 days is great.

you mean inactive people should be demoted?  I tried to code something for that but it fucked up so I just do it manually if someone says the guy on the top is inactive or if i notice that myself.

also.. php is a pretty basic/easy to learn language. its just a matter of having nothing better to do to sit down and learn it... or learn just enough to know which code to rip off of someone else's script.

oh, since it's easy, would someone, anyone, like to write a script to demote people by 50 ranks if they don't play for 20 days for this community?
