200 Watch - ETAs for GMS

Eos, I think Crekrd is the same person as LaCubAniTa09; Luna said she had gotten a name change.

Eos is aware that LaCubAniTa09 is Crekrd/GetMeWet08. His script must be acting up, especially since two of the top 10 in Mardia have been banned and are off the ranks for obvious reasons.

Two separate reasons with a tie in, both intentional.

1) Crediting is done by names, name changes are not retroactive to historical data, so if you're Bob today, but were Ted yesterday, XP while you were Ted stays under the Ted identity , and XP for Bob is treated as if Bob were brand new. The identities don't get merged and share info, ever, because Name is the most distinct attribute about a character, with no absolutely unique identifier available to automatically join Ted and Bob, and it's not worth it for me to manually try to join everyone to everyone they ever were.

2) They're still in the 14 day window, even if they're banned today. Until their days counter drops to 0, or their average daily xp drops to low enough that they're no longer at the top of the chart, they continue to show up.

Both issues resolve within 14 days when the secondary identities fall off the list, or the banned people fall off the list, but because this is data representing more than just a single day everyone who was present during that 14 days is accounted for.
