Hmm. I'm tempted by sheer inevitability to award the 'Coveted Grand Winner' to Rait...

Interestingly, my survival rate is 50% - completely unintentional, but would be interested to see whether there are any higher rates?

Another one Sean, Undeafeated, which is total minus defeated (or sum of other fields). Also, are you going to set a minimum number?

for I will survive, sum the draw, survive and won %ages.

figle, great minds think alike. Minimum was 10 games.

How about an award for most rapid growth? Points (both in games and unspent)/games

Award - Most likely to BLOW a lead Award?
(Given to a player who has managed to get to a certain %ge and then not win the game?)

Consistency Award
(Given to a player who has managed x wins on the bounce)

Golden Duck Award
(Given to a player who has been killed in x consecutive games without surviving once)

I also think the award for a person who has 'stayed alive' in x consequtive games should be the 'Invicibility' award or something that sounds a bit 'nails!'

:)

mark

i just chose those awards coz they were the % given in the profile page. others suck as you suggest mark would require people to put in a bit more time and memory recollection to sort it all out.figles- so undefeated is 100% minus the defeated%?

as this is a test run of awards im going to keep it simple.
. ok, can i start it off. im going to paste in my stats MINUS the number of games (to reduce clutter) Please post any % scores you have that are BETTER (ie a higher win percentage, higher drawn % or higher defeated(loser award) % etc and please ONLY post such scores and not all your stat %.
for example if somebody above you in the thread has a win % at 50% and a draw% at 40% and you have a 51%win and 39% draw stat then ONLY post the win%.) after a few days we should come up with less and less posts and we can see the final winners of the stats.
(minimum games 10)



total number of games 24
# Defeated: 21%
# Won: 29%
# Drawn: 8%
# Survived: 17%

# Defeated: ( 12% )
# Survived: ( 43% )

# Survived: 56%

19 games completed, 5 in progress
# Defeated 4% (1)

I vote we rename the 'Most likely to BLOW a lead award' to the 'Darwin Award' - referring to the real awards for people who remove themselves from the gene pool in the most amusing and stupid ways.

# Defeated: 5%
# Survived: 58%

cgwhite has me on defeated by 1%. I thought mine was pretty damn low too.

Woohoo! I reckon though that my survival percentage is higher than 50% if you add in wins and draws... are we allowed to do that?

True survival percentage (think this was noted above) is merely who has the lowest defeated number, which would currently be you.

# Defeated: ( 15% )
# Won: ( 15% )
# Drawn: ( 3% )
# Survived: ( 39% )

Just don't get knocked out of any o' those active games cgwhite! You may end up handing that award over to me. XD

Oh, and the "everyone hates me" award for Defeated % should be the "everyone loves me" award.

so... you're basing this awards solely on percentages?

"Everybody hates me" is loosing often

yeah, you know awards shouldn't be based on percentage type stuff...those are rankings, really. it'd be much better to have subjective things for awards. they're much more fun.

k...to be clear...
high defeat % = everybody hates me.
low defeat % = everybody loves me

thewonderllama has a point though. :)

I'm going for the Most Balanced Record award, if I win my current game!

Won (36%)

Won 36% too.

One thing I noted from looking at people's stats is the lack of % draws. I haven't had any... though should have had one if i hadn't missed a turn after 2 years of stalemates.

I think this must be a function of people being less cautious (easy to be gun-ho when you're playing several games at the same time), people going into CD which makes building grand alliances harder and also the points system.

Also, draws have only been on the site for a few weeks, admittedly now quite a few.
Just to give him some credit before this thread finishes (and since I never see him on the forum):
opripom - Won: 14 ( 56% )

making a clean new thread.so far we have

# Defeated: 4% - Cgwhite
# Won: 56% - opripom
# Drawn: 12% alamothe
# Survived: 58% - Dawyn (true to his name)

if you have a better ( higher won/drawn/survived or lower defeated ) stat please post here, please post ONLY the stat that is better and not all your stats.

Er... Rait's got a 59% win rate.

Rait rhymes with rate...

WAIT! Sorry, Rait's got a 60% win rate

Oh, I always pronounced Rait "Rah-eet." You know, like, Ra'it. Lol

sheeeeee it

I always thought rate, but we'll have to ask him. Infact, I'm going to form a thread on it!

it should be rah-eet

lol i was joking but ra'it sounds a lot cooler than rate. lol. but maybe it actually is pronounced that way.

...actually it is pronounced Ra'it ;) (it sounds similar to 'right')
