Nick Varner is a Fargorate 777

6.5 year bump! Nick is now a 772 (down from 777), still with 706 games. He hasn't played a single fargorate game in 7 years. His rating must be super fragile now, and any new play will be highly weighted.

@mikepage hey wait a minute! I just read thru this old thread, and my post #78 from 2024 showed he had 744 games, yet today in 2026 he has 706, which is what he had on post #1. What gives?
 
This is the single craziest thing about the Fargo system. For comparison, pro golfers only have 2 years of results included in their world rankings.

That's a ranking system. A rating system is very different from a ranking system.

And in effect, FargoRate uses the last three or four years of games played because old matches count less.

They sure aren’t counting less for Mr. Varner.

I’m sure someone will call this an edge case but it’s really not. 770 is bad data but it stays in the system, unflagged. Totally legitimate ratings with 150 games have a scary “preliminary” or “starter” tag but this obvious raspberry remains with no warning.
