User Profiles about blobsgame HOT 4 OPEN

Looks good to me. I approve. But:

• Nom:Death ratio (per gamemode)

I assume "nom" in this case means how often someone "won" against another blob?

Right now the accounts table in the database stores the following:

• Username
• Hashed password (not plain-text)
• Registered at (timestamp)
• Blob Rating (BR)
• Role (Admin, Guest or normal account)
• Blobcoins
• Timestamp from when the user has claimed their daily gift the last time (used to determine how long the user needs to wait until they can claim it again)
• Travelled distance
• Blobs
• Current blob (what blob the user is currently using)
• Clan (unused value; see #29)

In other words: right now it does not store everything you suggested and we would need to add columns to the table, but that should not be a problem.

• Alpha Blob — This user signed up before the game even had multiplayer!

I am unsure if we can limit it to users who have registered before the game had multiplayer because we started logging the registration date kind of late. Perhaps we can limit it to users who have registered in 2018?

But other than that, it looks like something we could add.

Yes.

I was going to leave the cutoff date for being able to obtain this Blob Badge up for discussion, but I just spat that out. I’m pretty sure that you couldn’t even sign up at that time!

Looking at the commit history, I think a suitable cutoff date would be October 13th, 2018, but you should probably look into how many people would get the Blob Badge, because we wouldn’t want only cool people that we know to have the badge. Assuming how long the game stays in beta period, we might even need to move the cutoff date into 2019!

If we were to set the date to October 13th, only you and me would get it. Most of the users have a registration date of November 1st (12 out of 33), because we had to set everyones' date to a dummy value as it was unclear when exactly they made their account (everyone as in everyone whose account was created before November 1st, of course).

1. That’s sad.
2. Alright. Let’s set the cutoff date to the first account created after November 1st.
