Rank for -100 ?
By De3b0o, history, 2 weeks ago, In English

While everyone is celebrating tourist as the first to break the 4000+ rating barrier, No one has thought about the real reason behind his historic achievement.

What do you think it is? Tourist being good? No, it’s simpler than that—he’s just better than everyone else.

And if he’s better than everyone, that means everyone else is worse than him.

So, the true reason tourist was the first to reach 4000+ isn’t just his skill—it’s You. Yes, You.

Because if you were better than tourist, you would’ve reached 4000+ before he did.

In my opinion, instead of creating a new rank for 4000+, Mike should introduce a rank for -100.

Personally, I think this rank should be named in honor of the legend himself: vjudge36. What do you think the -100 rating rank should be called?

I'm a Miku fan btw.

True dude I need this though I think it's impossible to reach -100 under the rating rules.

You can get infinity ratings by always get the rank 1 in Div.1s, but you can't get negative infinity ratings by always get the rank -1 in Div.4s.

I think set a level for -50 is totally enough.

    I think it depends on the number of people participating in the contest, so maybe in the future if codeforces becomes more popular -100 will be possible.

    He's the one who created the Vjudgian Algorithm, an algorithm so powerful it could destroy the fabric of the universe. So Mike had to ban him, making sure it never falls into the wrong hands.

No one knows that vjudge36's true goal was to underflow and reach INT_MAX rating

    By the Codeforces rating algorithm, -100 is basically impossible even by getting last place in Div.4, so this rating system wouldn't work

      No, we just need to wait for the Codeforces population to go up by like 3-4 times.

"And if he’s better than everyone, that means everyone else is worse than him." it should be this conclusion "And if he’s best than everyone, that means everyone else is not best."

While reaching -100 rating by genuine participation is certainly impressive (if not borderline impossible), I don't think we should introduce a new rank below this threshold. It would encourage more people (mostly trolls) to try to obtain this rating. After all, if they can't reach a new rank and are frustrated by being trapped in their current rank, the simplest way is to just submit trash in the next few rounds and get this new rank dopamine this way. In consequence, it would mean more people spamming broken stuff onto the server during the round just to be rated as low as possible, making unsuccessful hacks etc.

Besides, if the name for this rank would be legendary newbieor anything like this, it would encourage this troll behavior even more. So the name should be something derogatory like the worstor something like this to discourage trolling. But for genuine participants that get to those ranks this would be very sad and heart breaking.

So imo, while the idea is funny, we should not do that and only celebrate positive progress of our community members :)

Also, I refuse to believe rating -100 is possible for non-troll participants.
