[Cs5500] Fwd: [Cs4800] Number of games per avatar differs

[Karl Lieberherr]

Is it true that there are two forms of kicking? I did not put that into the
requirements but it is not unreasonable.

Please can you conform that it is possible just to be kicked from a round
but not the tournament?

Ok. I just see Madhu's message that this is not possible.

Prof. Lieberherr,

I think David was referring to the fact that in some cases an avatar who
performs 'bad scientific behavior' is kicked out from a round, and in
others from the whole tournament.

Hi David:

There is no difference.

There are two kinds of "punishment" behavior in SCG: for bad scientific
behavior you lose reputation
and for really bad scientific behavior, you get kicked out.

Bad scientific behavior is, e.g., not defending your claims.
Really bad scientific behavior is, e.g., to provide a solution that is NOT
valid for the given instance. The valid predicate is defined in the
playground definition.

Thank you for all your great emails.
