Can I be deranked?

No, just hide your skill.

A player asked me to join, I EFRed and played. I was not interested in playing otherwise.

Reportedly, this or similar was the usual scenario, not an isolated case.

I have never switched players to different teams for my own benefit on a usual scenario, whoever is saying that is lying.

So now that I am deranked, does this mean my skill no longer tracks? I can't wait to have fun again

I don't suppose Azareal anf giZmo would be both lying. And you still get your data collected, just doesn't show ingame to others.

The personal vendetta against Calypto really should stop. Trolling saying he is gaming the system when he clearly isnt, and adding +500 +1000 deaths to him to troll is just really not funny anymore, not that it ever was.

I play reasonably often and do not once see this kind of behavior from him. When he joins it is to balance, and he often plays EFR which means it doesn't matter where he joins.

Also I do not see your validity in saying 'just hide your skill' when I wish to be deranked, when the data is still collected. The data is ONLY there for the balancer so it if it still collected then me being unranked would matter nothing.

With that said, I look forward to being unranked and having fun again

I would tend to agree with iRobot on that one, I've rarely seen Calypto joining in order to unbalance the teams.
Although it has been "prooved" that Calypto is young enough to care about the "skill" which makes him abusing EFR every time.
So the question is, does someone that young and that careful about the image he gives of himself readdy to be an admin? I don't discuss about his technical skills regarding the Invasion server but regarding the BW server it has been shown many times that he is not readdy for that. If he didn't have that "power" there wouldn't be any problem.

This amazing phrase shows how careful some players are regarding their skill.

If that happens, i can only congratulate smart Izumo. With mere handful of lines code and few numbers he affect humans sooo much.

It wasn't coming from trolling the last time, neither it is this time, really. Besides there's more to it but that's private.

No, even if you're unranked, your data is still collected. Hiding your skill has exactly the same effect (except for the website), it will show iname X.XX for your skill.

It is not the same effect. I'm in some top 10 board I don't want to be. I've deliberately dropped my skill recently because I don't like it. Still working on that.

RE: Calypto. I've no reason to change my belief on you say, given the level of trolling previously. If you're going to criminalise him in public by highlighing he has been deranked, then at least provide more insight because it just looks like a witchhunt as it is now. He balances the teams where he can.

TOP10 got nuked when Aza updated it with the stat screen on BW.
