 If GR were actually good at what it does, we wouldn't all be able to claim we're better than everyone else. No fun in that.

We're not better than anyone else, except for you. We're all better than ghug.

I'd check those rankings again, bud. :razz:

 Also keep in mind that it excludes PPSC which was the only scoring system on WebDip for a long time so comparing "peak rating" misses out on a lot of the stats.
Things were much different back when I started playing on webDip. Even after WTA was added to PPSC, PPSC was the default option so it took time for WTA to gain popularity.

We didn’t have anonymous games as an option, I remember creating a few games after completing my first 7 games, all 7 were solos so my profile showed a 100% win percentage, in a few of those my competition literally agreed to kill me pretty much the moment the game was started, in the pre-game (after looking at my profile), which obviously would not have happened with anonymous games.

If you wanted to play gunboat it was done with the honor system, thus never tagged in a way for GR calculations to recognize it as gunboat. I remember playing a handful of gunboat games with the main purpose of decreasing my winning percentage, in an attempt to avoid the ridiculous metagaming I had encountered, and as I understand it those games are not counted as gunboat when calculating GR, which clouds its accuracy.

In the end, statistics are just statistics, and it’s kind of fun that every one of us can twist them around however we choose to our own amusement! :-)

 I don't think Balki even exists. Somehow there's always someone who thinks some other guy is Balki in every game. He's the Keyser Söze of Webdip
FYI, I have joined four anonymous games on this site in the last two months. So that guy everyone thinks is Balki may actually be Balki.

But it's okay -- Balki is an absolute joy to play with and he's the guy you want on your side. So please, be nice to "that guy." He's here to help.

 I think there is a bug with Ghostratings.

I have re-entered the Ghostratings after a long period of absence. I play only DSS/SoS, Classic Map, Full Press, Non-Live.

On the general list, my Ghostrating is 172.1022521. On the DSS/SoS, Classic Map, Full Press, Non-Live list, my Ghost rating is 89.09456678.

I believe they are supposed to be the same.
I don't think it really works that way, there's a relativeness to it. The nature of the elo-rating system using in Ghostratings takes the rating of the competition as part of it's calculation.

If (for example) you played a full press game against the 6 best gunboat players, who happen to be crappy press players, and won then you would get better credit for beating players taking all stats into consideration then you would in just the category. Theoretically they may have been the 1-6th ranked overall players but still be bottom of the rankings in the DSS/SoS, Classic Map, Full Press, Non-Live category.

There's more informed people then me who can explain it better.

 I was clicking through the website and found the League games from 2015...ahh how I remember getting beat in those games so badly
I enjoyed the League - pity no one has wanted to run it for 3 years since - half those guys no longer even play here.
Caballo Blanco cleaned house in the round we played together.
He did very, very well haha. I was proud I managed to stay alive for one game.

There was a league this year.

People tend to get turned off by the metagamey nature of it. I always enjoyed that aspect, but many struggle to adjust.

I'd just hate to see you get soft after thinking you've conquered all of online Diplomacy. There are still players left to stab.

 In my world Full Press/Classic Map is all that matters and in that world (if i'm not mistaken) I now hold record of highest Peak Rating ever at WebDip.
That's definitely the rating I care about more. Just to keep you motivated, MM's peak rating was 510 and I couldn't find Zultar but he had a pretty good streak, if I'm not mistaken. Also keep in mind that it excludes PPSC which was the only scoring system on WebDip for a long time so comparing "peak rating" misses out on a lot of the stats.
I work so hard to make Yonni proud of me, but it's never enough.

Second to MM? I thought you thought more of yourself.

No one likes any of you. Except Balki. We all love him. Sometimes.
