The attendance meter shouldn't go back up to 100%

It does, my friend had 99% and one day it was back to 100% which annoyed me then, as it still does now.
Even 1 missed turn ever should place a 99% record limit for ever, surely?

If mathematical integrity means nothing to you then no i can't.

There’s a mathematical concept called rounding. So if you have 99.4% you’ll be shown as 99%. If you get it back to 99.5+% you’ll go back up.
Mathematical integrity still intact.

99.0 to 99.4% of turns taken rounds down to 99%
99.5 to 99.9% of turns taken rounds up to 100%
Someone who claims to care about mathematical integrity should understand this.

Whilst the lessons on rounding are well received my issue is merely that no rounding should occur above 99% as having 100% attendance while still having missed turns is just wrong, abhorrently so.

Well, i have 10 015 games played and 5 695 wins as of right now, yet it says 57% win rate. How is that any different?
Do you see a decimal coma on these %? No, right? Then stop being such a nit picking asshole about your "friend".

There's only one significant digit in 100. If we really wanted to get technical, everyone over 50 has 100.

How is your example not different? Win rate being rounded isn't particularly misleading, having 100% attendance yet having missed turns is blatantly misleading.
The whole thing of 100% is it equates to perfect, you see someone with 100% record and think they've never missed a turn yet clearly we now know this isn't always the case. Which is bollocks, nit-picking arsehole or not it's bollocks!

How much worse is a decimal coma compared to a regular one?

Well a coma with a decimal if you prefer... not a millionial. But it could work too.

In that case, you should complain about all these guys with a 5.0 rating only because it got rounded up after susan from accountings rated them all 4/4/4 just to piss those 5.0 off.

It should round you down! That would be more accurate.
I suppose what it boils down to is that, like a lot of you, the case of 100% needs to be treated as if it were special.

Huh, it rounded up on me too. I never noticed because unless it's showing something much lower than 97% it just means you missed a turn for some reason.
It's not like you are someone that may not show up half the time.
36% of turns taken. That makes me wonder, who has the worst attendance?
