Thanks folks. It was a good one and I just feel a year younger now.... Ganzohnesushi

On the contrary... I really love this game because it emphasizes the losers... Among the pre-basho games it is within the Top three for me. Brilliant game invented by Shiyonofuji (aka as Kaiopectate the Killer Sock Monkey). And I'm glad you took over the game master role in 2000 when he decided to quit Ganzohnesushi

Just checked the Gino-sho in Seki-Toto. Amazing performance by Susanoo. 15 points difference between him and 2nd place. I'm not sure whether I have ever seen such a huge difference before. Well deserved Yusho. Congrats! Ganzohnesushi

DB is o.k. for me but I can't get access to the Toto entry page. 'Runtime error' all the time. Ganzohnesushi

Are you sure that Kakuryu still belongs to the Dream Team in Kumi? I guess Hakuho has selected much more points (24 vs. 16). Ganzohnesushi

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a good one. Ganzohnesushi

Indeed, Pandaazuma is absolutely right when he says I just had suggested rules changes. That was when Hoshitori was at its peak with 9 Yokozuna and nearly half of them were underperforming over a longer period. And as obviously none of them had the balls to retire voluntarily I had more or less carefully asked for a rule change. I made a few suggestions how the rules might be changed and after some modifications Doitsuyama finally implemented the current version for Hoshitori a couple of Basho ago. Only when this was done I had asked our UDH gamemaster Tamanaogijima whether he could implement the same rule for UDH. As far as I can remember he mentioned in one of the UDH threads that he will check and adjust UDH rules accordingly. But this obviously has never happened. Perhaps I'm a bit impatient, that's why I asked very frankly "how much worse...?" I really appreciate all the work that needs to be done and is done by several guys to keep the games running and I did not intend at all to complain. As you may know or not I'm contributing myself to the games as Banzuke maker for Odd Sumo, SalaryCap and ISP. Ganzohnesushi

When was the last time UDH had 140-150 active players ...sigh...? I remember the days when I joined most of the games in Kyushu 2005. Number of players in SB games was on its peak. But even then we had only 4 or 5 Yokozuna in UDH while Banzuke Haru 2012 e.g., contained 92 Rikishi in total with 7 Yokozuna on top. And of course the Superbanzuke was affected. Because eternal Yokozunae had their place reserved, regardless how bad they performed. A few of these guys were simply blocking some of the Top 42 ranks. Ganzohnesushi

Well, I did not look back any further as I don't think results from more than a year ago should be considered. A period over a full year (= 6 basho) should be sufficient to see whether a Yokozuna is performing good or not. The 45-45 rule which was implemented in Hoshitori is really fair (it is just average, not more, not less). I never understood why we had up to nine Yokozuna in Hoshitori and up to seven Yokozuna in UDH. Ridiculous. This rank should be given only to the very best players and unlike in real Ozumo not a title for the rest of your life. It is easy to play the games even as an ex-Yokozuna. Ganzohnesushi

I'm really surprised to find both Mariohana and Gonzaburow still at Yokozuna rank on the UDH Banzuke. How much worse do they have to score to lose their rank? The record of Yokozuna Mariohana in the last 6 Basho: 6-9 (09/17), 12-3 (11/17), 0-15 (01/18), 10-5 (03/18), 0-15 (05/18), 3-12 (07/18). That is 31-59 in total over 6 Basho. What a shame. Yokozuna Gonzaburow achieved 43-47 in the same period. And after 5 Days both are struggling again in Aki basho... Ganzohnesushi

All the best, Simon. Hope you have a good one Ganzohnesushi
