We felt that this encouraged &lt;br&gt;players to get in the least number of wars where they achieved the &lt;br&gt;maximum number of points for each category (5, for a week, for instance)&lt;br&gt;and then stop playing. We didn't like that so we've come up with a &lt;br&gt;metric we'll call &quot;TWar Score&quot;. Here's what it looks like.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; WEEKLY MONTHLY YEARLY ALL TIME&lt;br&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br&gt;-----&lt;br&gt;# 1. 180.7 vrag 200.00 wallace 200.00 leon 200.00 leon&lt;br&gt;# 2. 173.08 stribor 158.33 stab 158.33 stab&lt;br&gt;# 3. 165.38 hoshigaki 150.00 simigwa 150.00 simigwa&lt;br&gt;# 4. 165.38 qilakitsoq 141.67 stribor 141.67 stribor&lt;br&gt;# 5. 161.54 wallace 141.67 bathala 141.67 bathala&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm only cut-pasting the top 5 people there for brevity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let's go over how this works. Your TWar Score is a combination of your&lt;br&gt;points / war plus your total number of points (both of these are for the&lt;br&gt;time period in question - week, month, etc). This means that if you&lt;br&gt;play a LOT just to get a bunch of points, even if you're not that good&lt;br&gt;at getting a high number of points each war you are still improving your&lt;br&gt;standing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To explain this more, let's look specifically at a few player's&lt;br&gt;TWarscores by typeing 'twarscore &lt;playername&gt;' (you can do this too).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here's the data for Stribor: (only sowing weekly data)&lt;br&gt;----&gt; twarscore stribor&lt;br&gt;[Weekly Rankings Score] : 173.08 = 100.00 + 73.08&lt;br&gt; P/W avg : 124.33 - rank 1 of 26, or 100th percentile&lt;br&gt; Total points: 746.00 - rank 8 of 26, or 73rd percentile&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Stribor's weekly rating is 173. The following lines explain that comes&lt;br&gt;from a 1st place rating in points / war and an 8th place rating in total&lt;br&gt;points earned.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Next, let's look at Vrag's WEEKLY DATA ONLY:&lt;br&gt;[Weekly Rankings Score] : 180.77 = 80.77 + 100.00&lt;br&gt; P/W avg : 59.67 - rank 6 of 26, or 80th percentile&lt;br&gt; Total points: 1432.00 - rank 1 of 26, or 100th percentile&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;OK so VRag is SLIGHTLY higher than Stribor in total TWar score (in fact,&lt;br&gt;as you can see above the tabular rankings). He's only 6th place in P/W&lt;br&gt;(compared to Stribor's 1st place!) but he's 1st place in total points.&lt;br&gt;So he's being awarded for playing lots of TWars even though he hasn't &lt;br&gt;scored as well as Stribor's few matches.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Finally, let's loo at Leon: (all time stats only)&lt;br&gt;[All Time Rankings Score]: 200.00 = 100.00 + 100.00&lt;br&gt; P/W avg : 71.58 - rank 1 of 12, or 100th percentile&lt;br&gt; Total points: 10522.00 - rank 1 of 12, or 100th percentile&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Notice that Leon is 1st place in Points/War *AND* most points earned. &lt;br&gt;That gets him a 1st place ranking in both groups and therefore 200 total&lt;br&gt;score. Obviously you can tell this means that any TWar score will be &lt;br&gt;bounded between [0 -&gt; 200].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Get it? No? Go read about percentiles.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This work is thanks to Aristotle and Punk for coming up with the metric&lt;br&gt;and the complex SQL to make this all work. I just did some of the &lt;br&gt;coding and pretty printing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Razmataz.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
