Ladder points crisis averted

Fixed the server so no more switching between division and losing points. Oh and your profile shouldn't crash anymore if it was doing so previously. Sorry about that guys!

Thanks alex!

As a quick sidenote:
The point system we're using right now is something i'll be monitoring and getting feedback on. If it's not a disaster league ranking-wise we'll probably keep it for the remainder of season 2. I've got another model I've been noodling on that should provide some interesting changes and properties to the divisions (that ultimately I think would be better), but if things are a-ok then there's no need to fast-track it and I'll just develop it for season 3

Alex, can you please confirm that the points debacle did not affect the "true" ranking behind the scenes? Some people are wondering.

This is correct. Your ladder points were independent of your skillrating when doing those calculations. If you win a lot, your skill rating most likely went up, etc.

That's great. Thanks Alex!

On a side note, I knew I shouldn't have finished my 'won' games a few hours ago >.< I would have had more points if I had waited! Oh well, time to queue up a bunch more =)

@Szei: It seems that only games created after the server update are affected so don't you worry.

@Alex: Is that intentional that only games created after the update are affected? I won one half an hour ago but instead of the displayed 15 points it brought my ladder points to a total of 3. It also has put me into a new division.
