League Tables

You are here: Stellar Forces > General Discussion > League Tables

• At the moment, the league tables are weight in favour of people who have only played say, one game and won it, so they have 100% record and no incentive to play another one. Any suggestions on how to tweak this?

• A point system would probably be best. Point for playing a game and losing, two points for a draw, and 5 for a win. Someone could sit on 100% win percentage, but they will be passed by even crappy active players. :)

• That's a great idea - I don't know why I didn't think of it myself!

• Just added this now. The tables look a lot fairer now. I'm afraid you're only the third best player though. ;)

• Taking a look at the games table I think it is missing some data.
  1980-20.. and I have a drawn game that is not shown.
  Also you're not leading the table, but thats ok. :)

• Well spotted, I was forgetting to incorporate draws in the overall table. Fixed now, and you're top!

• I might tweak it again. I think the table is too weighted towards people who have played the most games now. Maybe losing a game should deduct points?

• I wouldn't deduct points but you could do what quake live does. By default, the stats only show the last 30 days (or you could do calendar months). You can change it to career, but by default only shows you the month. That way you are capturing the status of active players and not old stagnant players (although their legacy is still available in the career stats).

• Fair enough, I won't deduct points, but I think I'm going to stop it giving a point for playing a game (since that automatically gives an advantage to the players with the most games) and reduce the others to 1 point for a draw and 3 for a win. I think I'll also restrict it to games within the last 30 days later on.

• You could also go in the direction of a ranking system, instead of a point system. Similar to what they use in chess where your points are determined by the points of other players you play, and the outcome of that game.
  
  I can dig up more info if you don't know what I'm talking about.

• I think I know what you mean, but I'd need some more specific information like how it's all calculated. Is there a wikipedia page on it?

• I may have missed something but draws seem to be missing from the table again.

• It only takes into account games during the last 30 days. Your draw against victor has just fallen outside that. Having said that, I'm using the date the game was started, when I should be using the date it ended. It will be fixed in a few hours. Well spotted!

• Thanks. It looks a bit complicated - it might take me a while to work it out.
  Posted by SteveSmith 14 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yeah..quite complicated. You might want to do something similar, but dumb it down a bit ;). Although, once you figure out the formula, shouldn't be too tough to implement.

• Please arrange fastest player league table. 99% players are inactive.

• If you go the bottom of this page: http://www.stellarforces.com/dsr/otherleagues.cls it will show you the fastest players. Unfortunately, a lot of players try the game for the first time and decide it's not for them, so they disappear.

• Can you make any filters?
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Technically yes, as I can write the code for it.

• How does one join a faction
  Posted by Jakethegreat 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• There's no actual campaign going on at the moment, so it's not currently possible. I can start another campaign, if there's enough appetite for it from other players.

• i wonder what would hapend if you stay on the death body of cadaver would it come back to life?
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yes; they wouldn't affect each other until one moved off the square. Sometimes multiple cadavars are resurrected on the same square.
