Out of curiousity, why do the values differ from the leaderboard?

A different set of games count toward each leaderboard. Helo requires conquest games that were 10v10 for 5? mins at least. AS requires at least half the game to have at least five players.

HELO requires 5 vs 5 for 5 minutes. AS requires the same.

The differing values, however, come from AS counting draws, where HELO does not

Actually it's because AS uses three years worth of data wheras Helo only uses two.

Due to the fact that #draw is currently used to end silly games (on the whole) we're currently ignoring them. It's not that the system doesn't support #draw, it's fully coded, but we encountered a whole load of super-stacked draws which resulted in crazy rank updates. I've proposed introducing #abandon to end such games, but this is alleg. Two Weeks™.

What is stopping you from processing the older games? I was kinda shocked to see so few blown bases in my record.

Baker, how accurate is the current AllegSkill leaderboard?

#1: Nothing is stopping us from processing older games. We did, and that's why there are far more games played listed on the AllegSkill board than on the old LeaderBoard.
#2: The reason why you don't see any more stationkills or playerkills with these older games processed is because those fine-grained statistics were not collected until a year into the stats project, starting at GameID 19124.
#3: The current AllegSkill leaderboard is accurate as of the last game processed. See the top of the leaderboard for more info.

#4: All of the answers to the above questions are available on the wiki. The new leaderboard links to the wiki 3 times with clear words like "For more information, visit the AllegSkill wiki"
All of you suck for not RTFMing.

Well on the allegskill leaderboard i have 100 more ejects and 1000 less kills, so im not sure how that is possible either way you cut it, unless you arent counting drone kills towards the total
