I just ran a script which synchronizes clones times, so if you had a clone who
scored better than your main account somewhere, then the main account
received the time
Lucky people include Wotan998, Luxoflux, KIGO1987, pirhapac, kingheim...

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but it would be great if there was a form page that has listed all of the rows automatically filled out for each record so one can just go down the list entering times and not all the other info. Message me if you're interested in hosting and/or scripting.
272 rows? That's an idea. Normally what I do is go to some ranking then add 1 record,
the site will automatically fill some of the blanks...
Yeah, just an idea to perhaps make it quicker for new members to add all their scores. Once they're in, it's a piece of cake to modify. I have another question now as I'm going through and putting in scores. I've seen mention of this but I don't understand what's going on completely. Are some scores not being posted to the SL leaderboards, or does it take a while, or what? If they don't then I have to resort to looking at the personal times list and it seems as if it does not distinguish between Single Race and Multiplayer times in that list, is that right? So, because I didn't know the answers to these questions I've just been going through and playing the tracks again.
I have another idea for your already awesome website. I think it would be cool if you had a column that showed the Overall Ranking for each record. So for example, if I'm looking at all of my records I know where I'm ranking for each one without having to the leaderboard for each record. Perhaps there is already a way that I haven't discovered.
Anyway, I love the website, and would love to contribute. Message me on psn if you need help with inputting times, coding, hosting, etc.

Well it could be good but I don't want to have too many columns, I'll message you later,
help is always welcomed
after adding times im now #32 over all venom speedlap. SWEET edit: and #21 on flash omg lol AWESOME xD
P.s seems like the way ro climb in rank really is adding times, will do it more in the future. and btw connavar this leaderboard rocks. it is one of the best i have seen in any game

HD-rankings and print
For those of you, who didn´t already discover it (I just did a few minutes ago ):
In the newly updated Internet Explorer, you´ve got the option to convert webpages to PDF-documents (it even has a select tool).
Very easy to print tables from Connavar´s site now
I've been keeping my times offline in a spreadsheet, and have a separate table where I can see very clearly where I need to improve by showing me my global rank in each track/class/mode. This may be something you'd like to integrate on your website. I've attached an image; hopefully with the low quality, you're able to see what's going on.
A couple of people on the site have mentioned excluding Zone mode from Phantom. I'd like to exclude it because I can't really play it without getting headaches. I loved achieving Zone Zeus but it's really not something I want to have to do again. It was painful.
I feel that if I choose Phantom class it should just be Phantom class. I want to compare pilots at Phantom speed and not the overall game. Just as choosing Rapier lets me compare all events only at Rapier speed. If I choose overall ranking on all classes, then I think that is where Zone should be included.
At the same time it's good to keep it because it encourages more people to play Zone and that will make it a more competitive mode. But if it's included in the overall ranking for all speed classes then I think that would make more sense. Especially as Zone runs through all speed classes.
Can we not have an option for Phantom class without Zone? Pretty please? With psychedelic hagelslag on top?
Okay, I'll try to find a solution... maybe another button somewhere.
The all/all/all/global ranking is pretty meaningless, I mean most people want
to check the rankings for 1 speed class, so I don't want to have the Zone mode
only in it. Having it in Phantom was nice for the motivation as you said.

Hooray. Thanks Connavar. Was I really that convincing?
i think the best solution would be a zone speed class ....
This is the first time I tell you that I LOVE your work.... (yes I've a question, you're right )
May you add my clonename like those above?
IT's "francygirl" (nickname of my girlmate on ps3), only used during the first 1.40 bugs.
Thanks mate for your amazing site (and your skill!!!)
Il_Nik
I was wondering who this "francygirl" was...
Just wondering Connavar, you have my records on my 1987 account and my Angelus accounts merged yes?
I will add francygirl ...
Yeah KIGO I merged them, but right now I need to click on a button to merge
all the times of all the clones, as soon as I see chboing we will update the site
to have it update the parent player as soon as a new clone time is entered,
so this will be 0 delay, and no more button pushing here
if i ever beat any of my online records it will be under kitsune2097, my brother's account
Well I was about to update my times spreadsheet when I figured it would probably take me as long to do that as it would make a quick webpage. So I did. It uses the all the times from Connavar's site (current as of today). You can just change the psn id to your own to see your ranking map.
Also I've made a table of the top 5 in each category. I get a kick out of this stuff, maybe somebody else will too. I think these features would be cool directly on Connavar's site, as I probably won't update the DB more than once a week.
Anyway, here's the link (don't forget to change the id to your own, because Connavar's is nice to see and all but it's a bit intimidating :
http://www.akinonyx.com/wo/index.php?id=Connavar
Looks great, amazing work!!!
Feel free to send the PHP code!
(or maybe I can add a link to your website? in any case we need something
integrated for the user)
Hm I just looked at it again, there are issues with your OVERALL RANKINGS, you
should use my own results (go to */*/*/OVERALL) because your site shows
precisely why using positions is a bad idea, for an overall ranking at least:
1) It shows Darxinus being #2 on venom speed lap and #1 on venom single races,
however Darxinus only did 8 tracks, no reverse, so basically someone who
does only 1 race but being #1 on it, will be #1 overall, which is unfair.
2) Another example: let's say I'm #1 on 15 tracks but #500 on another, then
the average will be 515/16 = 32, so someone who's #30 on every track will beat
me, which is again wrong, especially if I'm 1 second faster than him on every
track, and 0.1 sec slower on that track where I'm #500, you see?
^ All these non elementary issues have been solved by the system used on my
website, which gives points based on the relative time with the #1 time,
instead of the positions, and this is where most of the work has been spent,
so please, you can use my work, Leungbok's icons (I guess), layout etc,
but don't destroy our hard work by turning these rankings into something
meaningless.
(That was just a detail btw, I'm still very happy hehe,
huge thanks for the initiative, glad to see more people helping)
Cheers!
