Changing results?

[raw] LD29LD #29 22. May 2014 · 09:06 UTC · 27 days after compo start by Tifu · 3

So… I stupidly didn’t take a screenshot at the time, so I have no proof of anything, it’s possible I am just having faulty memory… but I’m as certain as I can be without proof that something weird happened here.
On the day of the results, I am sure that I got ranked somewhere in the top #50 in theme, around 44 or something, with a 4.0 star average. I mentioned this to someone, as it was the first time I had got any main LD entry into the top 50.

However now when I check my results, they are:
#59 Theme 3.95
#103 Mood 3.73
#299 Innovation 3.44
#342 Audio 3.10
#508 Overall 3.22
#587 Fun 2.98
#679 Humor 2.27
#706 Graphics 2.93

It’s not a big deal of course, not like I was knocked out of the top 25 or anything, which would have been AGH, but… odd. Are the results kind of unreliable in the first 12 hours of them going live or something? Anyone else experienced this?

edit
Seems this was a fix made on day one of results, so the newer scores are the correct ones. So… that clears that up. yay?!

We had something similar happen, from yesterday to today our Innovation score improved from 103 to 98… :-/

I’m not entirely sure but I believe they’ve fixed the bug that showed you wrong places sometimes. As far as I can remember, right after the voting ended the system counted several tied results as just 1 result, so if 2nd place is a tie between 2 participants, every game after 2nd will have its score 1 higher (4th will be 3rd place and so on). It was showing correctly on one page and wrong on the other, by the way. So your score didn’t change and neither your place in a table, it’s just displayed correctly now.

This happened to me too. I don’t think my scores changed, though; just rankings did.

Hey, both my rating and scores changed too! Overall decreased by 0.4: 3.75 (#70) -> 3.71 (#89); others decreased or increased by ~0.1. This is weird.

My coolness increased from 88% to 91%, not that I want to complain or anything, but still strange.

Yeah, I remember seeing my initial result for Jam Humor was #106, but checked the next day and it rose to #68. Obviously not complaining, just reporting the change. Didn’t pay attention to the others though.

I’ve seen it too. I think there was a problem with the calculation of the results on day 1. This was apparently fixed after someone discovered they got 0 coolness after rating 20 games. You can find the post here:
