Version 3.0.106 is uploaded

GreedyGammon version 3.0.106 is up.
It features a new player list of ratings so users can see their ratings climb up the list compared to other player numbers.
It is similar to the previous version where the online capability was abandoned but now we have both the offline bot only games and online player vs player games to pick from.

The players listed on the new panel are mostly old version users who have disappeared possibly using older version ignoring or not checking for new updates, and some of the users at the high rating space are just there for reference (like Mochy Akiko felafel) They are not GreedyGammon users. if you reach that (1950+) rank without cheating, you can tangle with the best of them and expect to get in some wins yourself.

A note on the new ratings, the way it works is that when player starts a new game with the bot, the player rating is right then and there adjusted as if it was a player loss. This means that if you abandon a game your rating is already reduced by whatever the points would have been. If you do win the match, your rating is adjusted up to where it was and from there the new points are added.

The reason bot games are not saved for resume is because the games are offline. There is no "disconnected" possibility as with remote player vs player games.
Player vs player games are not rated. GreedyGammon saves the outcome of each match against each opponent so you can see your score against that opponent. If you play for small stakes, you can use that data to calculate your total win amount.

The criteria for "enhanced dice" has been restricted to 1650 rated or less, with win rate of less than 30%
