Can someone tell me what it means, in practical terms, if a guy in Primary was grabbed twice yesterday and twice today and the ones from yesterday just ticked past an hour ago so his DR would normally be 2? Now it's going to be like 2.8 something or possibly more? Why would we want this in any other server?


basically, if they just ticked by; normally you'd be 2, but now each of yesterdays will be 0.4 approx, yea, so about 2.8

We were talking about a halflife of 24 hours originally, which is easier to count in your head, but it's a little *too* conservative for grabbing i think, 18 hours means it's reduced quite a bit faster

One of the big reasons for this is that it opens up a way to change the times per-server if we want to. If FFA wants more grabbing, we can make it 12 hours, that sort of idea; much more tweakable

Finally did the signature thing.
