obsessed by final results ?

how many times an hour do you check your profile to check if there was new games ? be honest ... i think i am above 10 times/hours which is kind of sad.. slow day at work i guess.

I may be worse than you. I watch my own score regularly, but now that it's clear I'm not in the top 100, I'm more interested in the overall process as a spectator, playing through some of the better games now and then. I run stats (curl & perl) to see how well the failbots are getting weeded out (down to 8% of games "Won at turn 1" this morning from 25% yesterday and 34% before the cutoffs started, and many of the remaining ones are legitimate standoffs rather than 10 bots sitting on their thumbs). I have also been watching the top 25 or so to see how fast they're congealing, and I'm pretty optimistic about the process working in time.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to maintain your interest for a while, though - we've spent days or weeks (months for some, I guess) on the problem, so dropping it cold turkey would be a let-down.

My schedule is roughly 15 minutes of work, then 15 minutes of looking through the rankings and recent games (including many refreshes of my account). repeat.

I seem to get most of my games in bursts, so I will go for several hours with no change, and then get like 5-10 games in a 30 minute span.

during a: "In Game: Playing in a game right now."
I refresh my profile about 10 times in average until the game ends

I'm too afraid to watch it ... I'm hoping to barely squeeze into the top 50 and I've been hovering around 53.
