Is the repbot database available (preferably in a convenient format like text)?
I've got some ideas I'd like to try out, but I need the list of vouch/complains.

Obviously, I could write a script to ask repbot about each fibs user in turn, but I don't really want to overwork our robotic friend.

My first (and easiest) idea is to generate a friends/villains list for javafibs, but I also want to test out some trust metrics on the vouch/complain graph.

 

Can RepBot get from the FIBS server the information about which party drops a game?

A dropped game may be for personal reasons (the person doesn't want to finish a losing game!), technical (network), or by mutual agreement (usually finished anyway). It will not necessary to show the distinction, but who dropped.

The server knows exactly when a game was left hanging and by whom. The Java Based game software records the matches, so, certainly it is also available on the server and if necessary the last move can determine the person who was left hanging.

In short, the DB should contain the party at fault for non-finished games. Then this can be used in the reputation calculations.

If this topic has been discussed, please post a direction to the appropriate thread.

Another source for villains are here: http://www.fibs.com/savedgames/ where you can find list with players who have saved games.

This list is inaccurate and cannot be trusted.  It shows me as having 21 saved games when in fact I currently have just 5.  In fact, I don't think I've ever made it into double figures.  http://www.fibs.com/savedgames/shame.html may be a better guide, listing only the very worst offenders.  Step up FASTplayersPLEASE and take your bow.  173 dropped games (if that figure is correct) is indeed an achievement!
