Third? wow. No, phantom will be unaffected.
I just looked at your matrix, and you should gain many ranks in the overall
rankings, as deserved.

Could you also resize " < > " buttons? They are so small :)
i moved up a few places last time, i wonder where im goin this time :? lol
Connavar, according to the current overall index formula, are each of the game modes weighted evenly? If so, perhaps you could alter the formula to favor certain modes over others. I'm sure we all agree that a top Speed Lap or Time Trial record is much prestigious and difficult to obtain than a Single Race record.
I'm thinking:
1a) Time Trial
1b) Speed Lap
2) Multiplayer
3a) Zone
3b) Detonator
4) Single Race
or switch 2 and 3 (or make 2 and 3 weigh equal, not sure right now). What do you guys think?
I think single race is easier too, but only because it's less competitive. I've done some single races recently and easily obtained good scores, which have improved my rank a lot. So I can look at it and see that really, I'm not better than a lot of the people below me in the rankings who actually have barely done any single races at all. But if more people took part in singles and treated it as a legitimate game mode instead of shunning it, then it would be more competitive and wouldn't be so easy to get good points from it. I think it would be better to encourage each other to compete than make competing in it less worthwhile.
Multiplayer is a bit different, because it's heavily affected by the internet connection of the individual, and those he or she is racing against. I often feel like I'm at a disadvantage in terms of getting good records online because my ping is at least twice that of others. But at the end of the day, the more time I spend on multiplayer, the more chances I have of getting good times, so I don't mind if it's weighted equally either.
I do not have a strong opinion, but, if it matters, I would put Zone and Detonator above multiplayer and single race. The former are modes that are exclusively designed to finish with quantitative scores while the latter are primarily designed to give an ordinal result (first place, second place, etc.).
Although I do wonder a bit about the formula for Zone. The pure four tracks have rather skewed index distributions for the very top ranks, especially Corridon 12 and Pro Tozo. You can be ranked in the top 20 and still not break 500. It may be that these tracks are not as competitive, as SR said, but it does make me curious if Zone mode naturally moves to a less proportional score distribution than times for TT and SL.
Good ideas there ... but of course speed lap players will want more weight for
SL and zone players more weight for zone, so right now I'm gonna leave them
all equal, in a first step I'm going to improve the interpolation formula to better
reflect players' skills.
Yeah maybe I should modify the formula for Zone, originally I found the
parameters by giving 1000 points to the best player and a good score like 800
or 900 to a good or very good player etc. Now if a good Zone result scores 500
points only, then there is something wrong indeed!
So close to my first ever SL Phantom Rank 1... Joint on Talons Junction with AkFurtif on 21.74.
Swear ill be dead long before i ever get a 1st :)
Joint first is still first. ;) I don't understand the number vs. rank though. You are number one, but rank 2. Sort by points and it puts you first. Maybe because you have less pads, but then shouldn't you be rank 1? It's weird.
i'll try to beat that for avoiding those rank/number issues :twisted
...but there are many weeks i'm trying that :brickwall
This problem should be solved like this: whoever scores first gets
the rank (here #1), people equalizing it will be #2, #3 etc
when are you updating the formula conna?
8 days
Hey, how long Connavar, you help me long time ago with the blink brigade trophy!
I´m ranked 164 in Vineta K/Forward/Phantom ^^. Good memories!
Really? Nice! :D
(Patch coming within the next hours)
Edit: done, the overall rankings have been improved (better interpolation algorithm),
seems to be working as someone like ericd7m jumped into #12 position!
im sweating with anticipation, wonder where im goin lol
Hi Connavar
i added a new rekord: vineta k (r), SL rapier, rang 22, 611 points
and now i have lost one rank in the overall ranking?
how works the ranking?
cheers, novide
ps. thx for your great ranking site
I see my times have been updated yesterday. Great :clap. I was thinking about doing them myself since I started the TT and SL comp but couldn't find the time. Cheers chboing (I take it) :+
Who has added all the records, yesterday? :eek Connavar, you got access to
SL's database server?
A big thumbs up! :):+
seriously ?
U don't know who added records on connavar's website ?
:clap
:brickwall
hard to believe that ....
may be a problem with u belly button ?
The answer is even on the post above :lolQuote:

you see? And in case you haven't noticed, hundreds of records were added yesterday in
one go. So in essence, I just wanted to know if Connavar got the data from somewhere else
or if he and / or chboing has collected them over time and updated the website in one go,
which I believe was the case.
It's been asked before but I'd actually like to know how chboing adds so many, anyone....?
well PBS , you wrote : " who .....
but u was meaning ; " how ....
even my english is bad , i think im not wrong .
may be some english people can help us :)
Well if you guys think I add records using the web interface, you're wrong!!
I write data in a file over time, and then I just upload that file, skipping the
interface, so that's why there were suddenly many new records.
(Also, adding a time takes a lot of time on the server because it does
many consistency checks and updates ratio's and so on ... If I had time
I would accelerate this process)
Only myself and chboing have a direct connection to the server database
and are able to do this.
Btw we're spending a lot of time on those updates, I think we should just
be thanked for our efforts. Our original goal was to populate enough data
and then let everyone else add records, but it didn't really happen, still
we're ready to stop doing it any time.
wow, i lose rank per rank, if i enter a better record... why?
there must be something wrong...
it is a big motivation for me, to do better records... hmm
@tug_14: Seems like you don't know that I've posted in this thread before and
that I do know who has entered the most records and things like that. Since I
assume that we do know each other here, and as such share a given context, I
left out the quotation marks around my question.
@Connavar: Being thanked isn't enough, I would say. The webside is great and
really shows your dedication. :+ What bugs me as well is that even some of the
top player don't enter their records. :?
Ok, shapealot you're #5!
Added 2 clones: No-Ghost and Conor-Buckley, so they won't show up in the
rankings anymore, if you guys know more clones, just post a comment here or
a private message on the website, or anywhere!
Also JPA2097 has become a BotMod!
Here's some confirmed alts that can be merged:

+ more for sure that i'm not aware of... :lol
Next are IDs that only have WOHD installed and hardly any trophies (or trophies that can quickly be won playing online races only), low rank (5-15), sometimes even no avatar selected, and of course surprisingly strong performances on the track not matching the trophies or rank. I hate being ambushed by an alt! :bomb Not sure whose are these:
- Wow__your_good
- Reptile-ninja
- do_you_feel_that
- feel_that
- he_he_haha
- l_-_o_-_v_-_e
- come_icaras
- U-wait-n-See
Just looking at the formatting of the IDs you can tell half of them probably belong to one person. Is it you? :lol I'm watching and compiling :sonar
It's messing up the boards with so many unknown alts in the top 100 of multiplayer...
conor buckley is another alt account ! :rolleyes:
With so many records to upload and keep track of (like 300 or more?), it gets hard to maintain a persistent effort to correct them all the time. Thanks heaps for the blanket update, my profile has so many more and updated times now! :P
@connavar & chboing thanks go to you guys for all youre effort on the site, im sure everybody will agree. im on it everyday checkin whats been added and without it i dont think i woulda put as much effort into my laps :p
BTW what exactly has changed about the formula? thanx in advance :beer
Hi shapealot, the formula is now a lot more complex, I modified it to try to
represent better pilots' skills, it's still far from being perfect (I shouldn't be in
the top 10 for example) so I will improve it further. Because before, ace pilots
such as ericd7m, Elois-13 and SaturnReturn were outside the top 24, now they
are in, so it works better.
Rezatron, thanks a lot for those clones, I will add them to the site shortly.
Leungbok: Sarah Conor Buckley has already been terminated!
Thanks to Mietepiet for making me have a closer look at the site. And of course, a BIG thanks to Connavar for making the site. :D
I knew of it... but thought it was only for super pro players. I then had a closer look when Mietepiet directed me to it and saw it has records up to rank 300~ which I fall into. :) So, I've gone ahead and updated all my TT, SL, SR and MR times.
I don't know if you're taking suggestions but would it be possible to display 24 results per page? (24 tracks total... or maybe more if you include Zone tracks)
EDIT: Ohhh.. nvm with the above question... was answered below. Thanks. :D I thought it was a 'jump to page' box.
ooh, I know that one!
In the box next to MYSELF | NEXT PAGE | BOTTOM, you simply enter whatever number you want displayed pr page and hey presto! :D
Edit Looking over the records, I'm missing quite a few MP/SL/TT records. I only have 13 MP records entered?!? When I try to add the missing ones, it seems to accept the edit but the entered time is just gone. Are the times really that lousy...? ;)
Hi, are you telling me you're unable to add some of your times?
That's a bug. Can you just list some of them so I have a look?
My bad... I had a certain ship selected, so of course only the records set with that ship is showed.
So, your site works exactly like it's supposed to :)
Sorry for yelling 'fire!'...:redface:
One more clone to merge: Xtriko aka Xtriko2097
Clones;
{PhantomV6, Max-RX6, Phaze2097} and {silverfox073, silverfoxy}.
