Tales from the leaderboard

Sledging aside Rav.

Does your stat machine cough up any humourous details?

QUOTE (Shizoku @ Feb 5 2009, 10:53 AM) Again the leaderboard takes into account two of my personalities, lol. If you combined both my stats would they be higher than PKK?

didnt you ever link those accounts?

[Shizoku]

I've only ever played alleg on two computers, both have been linked probably about 3 or 4 years ago.

QUOTE (Raveen @ Feb 5 2009, 03:45 PM) I see no reason why we can't get that data assuming TAG records:

When a player joins
When a player leaves

If you know that you can tell what the imbalance between the teams was at time of joining which is relevant. A bail statistic might be interesting (team imbalance at time of leaving).

Yes, this is entirely feasable. Something of this nature may very well appear in AS MkII (work currently in progress).

One other thing to consider, and it was touched on earlier. Could we rename the stacker rating to balance rating. It's not conducive to good game play to have a (5) join the team that is already down considerably, so why punish him for joining the stacked team. Whenever a pilot who has a skill level below the mean of the community joins the weaker team he does just as much harm as having a vet stack. This opens a whole new can of worms into the system, but worth at least some consideration.

I do agree, intent should be measured if possible. If you join a team that is down and the stack follows, surely that doesn't make you a stacker.

Maybe the more refined incarnations of the stack rating can take into account your own rank? But I guess the person looking at the stats can just look at your rank too

After a wee break it's time for Fact the Tenth.

Commands: XT coms have commanded most games followed by ACE and GB. XT also have the highest percentage of wins/commands at 64%. The effect of the XTack?

As for humerous facts, anything like that is perilously close to squad-bashing which I'm avoiding at all costs. I leave you to make your own minds up about the stats.

Yeah, like this newbie, badp. He's nice enough, but he wants to antistack while he is only a 5. I always try to tell him to join the other team instead, but he doesn't listen

Fact the Eleventh.

Sigma: AllegSkill is most uncertain about SF pilots who have an average Sigma of 2.14. They’re closely followed by SPQR with 2.12. AS knows Spidey’s bunch better than any of the rest with an average sigma of 1.55

[CronoDroid]

Hmmm, I wonder why we have the highest Sigma, you'd think the newest squad's would be larger.
