That would be such a huge help; I think being able to mark who you played based off of the name on OCTGN is just the nice thing to do.
I agree with all of you, and that’s what I did for SHL2. But if someone wishes to contact me, they won’t know who I am on these here forums. I suppose this problem will be solved when Challenge Board adds the bio feature.
Make an Almotasim on ChallengeBoards/OCTGN?
What about the amazing, hard-earned reputation of my existing OCTGN nick, though? Wouldn’t wanna lose that, would I!
Don’t even know that guy.

How do you guys change your avatar in the challenge boards site?

Is one side really stronger than any other consistently? I feel that this ebbs and flows as new cards are released, and I’m not really sure if after O&C, if anyone thinks one side is particularly favorable.
I can’t say for other people but my own win ratio between my corp and my runner deck was pretty close. Both around 68-70% win with more than 150 games played. And it was before O&C. So in my opinion, the Corp/runner balance was pretty close during the 2nd league.

I’ve found the corp side to be stronger for a good amount of time now. Its possible that I’m better playing as corp than runner - I certainly felt more comfortable corping as a new player and it took a while for my runner game to get anywhere near. But I feel like runners are stretched very thin in all the different corp archetypes they have to deal with and tech against - parasites for RP, speed and substantial R&D pressure for NEH, feedback filter for PE, god knows what for Blue sun, something for IT department, whereas corps can just play a nice varied ice suite and be fine. This is starting to change with Order and Chaos - Valencia in particular can make it hard to score in a remote without specific counters to her, but sadly this seems to just make NEH even better. I’ve yet to face a new anarch that poses any more of a challenge than before to NEH, but I’m open to the possibility.
Just play Kate =D
Agreed, but I’m going to be looking at targeting that NEH match up with my future builds. Icemelt+medium is probably sufficient with a little wanton.
If someone writes the code for Glicko(2?) for challengeboards, I’m sure the author would be happy to accept a pull request and put it on the live site.

Of course.
I did an internet search for alternative software. I found an excel extention for chess that we could use. It was not 100% accurate, because you could only report one match and not a double.
However, did we reach a conclusion on the system? ELO, Glicko, Glicko2? Which variables?
I’ll look into Challenge Boards’ code as @db0 suggested. No promises though, not much spare time here (especially now when I play in the league 
).
So https://rankade.com/ seems a valid alternative. We can set up a league with double matches (report corp and runner matches at once) and it has a great algoritm.
How would you guys feel about using it?

Do you have any information beyond what’s (not) on their info page? If so, where can I find it? Particularly interested in anything with some degree of mathematical relevance, rather than truism-filled PR texts.
