For example, I want to rank by commander rank and would like to see what number a person is without having to count

I asked for that first Fufi!

I like this leaderboard, my joystick breaks and I don't play for months, and suddenly i'm ranked #3!

Edit:

Wishlist:

Dronekills/Hour
Dronekills/Hour NOT commanding

I'm looking into a proper stats analysis of drone/base kills and caps. Drone kills/hour is at TE's discretion. Calcs involving numbers on the LB can be implemented in a flash. When TE is back from AFK I'll ask about it.

Also, could you have it not count people who have played for very few hours/games in the average player ranking? It seems really odd that the average player ranking is 1ish.

Also, you define a Mu of 25 as being perfectly average. Can I suppose that being below 25 means a person is a detriment to the team and above 25 is a benefit to the team?

I was really hoping someone would address this question. Any elaboration? The question of the average Mu has me curious.

I can not help but laugh at a few of the rankings on this leaderboard.

I know it exists to predict who will win a game, rather than to predict how good you are, but still.

Harhar.

Still a VAST improvement on every level.

One of my tasks for the coming months is to have a look at how/what the Alleg server does to collect stats with a view to enabling such things.

The problem with 'average rank' was spotted the moment we started processing the database. Currently it's using the mean of the rank column, whereas the median would be a far more sensible choice. TE is aware of the issue and plans to fix it.

Very roughly speaking, yes. The average mu for the entire community is actually closer to 24 than 25. MS defines mu as 'the average performance across all games played'. If you consistently perform well, you will have >25 mu etc.

Hey everybody!

See that disclaimer that says this whole thing is still a work in progress? That's why there are all of these little issues/problems with it.
Let those who are working do their work and understand that you are very privileged to have seen the fruits of their labour so early before the project was launched.

Quick question/problem:

The computer I use to play allegiance is shared with my brother. He was the first to discover allegiance and the first to register an account name. He quickly gave up on the game, but I am still playing under the account I created second. This seems to have confused both leaderboards, as they only display my brother's original account(which I now use as my hider nick). Is there any way to fix this so that my account is the one displayed on the boards? It is a minor inconvenience, but it would be nice to see my account name up there.

Also, let me know if I should post this somewhere else.

Thanks
Ding

Good work, if only because my rank seems realistic to me

There's obviously been a lot of work put into this, so thanks to all the time and effort from baker, TE and anyone else who has been working on it.

Now, to get my stack rating negative...
