Gusset, actually at one time the SEIV community had both. ladder scoring and the KOTH.

In the ladder scoring system any game could be counted as a ladder challenge as long as all players were on the ladder.

Geo had set up a ladder system on some website at one time. Unfortunately, it was about the same time I decided I should do something for the gaming community and started a website that had rankings based on the same formula that the Chess Federation uses. It ran for about 2 years and interest died out, so I dropped it. As you might guess, the rankings on that site were fairly close to the listings I just posted on this thread.

Seeing as not all copies of se5 come with se4 I think its best we have two hills. Here is what I have setup: SE5 KOTH.
If enough people agree with the settings I will see if we can get this on se.net. If you want to be the league administrator don't let me get in your way.

That would probably remove some confusion between the two hills.

Just fiddling around. Since I don't like the listing of most wins at the top (despite how many games have been played...which can lead to having the most wins if one just keeps playing forever), I thought I'd do a better representation of the Hill. So the list wasn't swayed too much, I removed anyone who hadn't completed at least 5 games.

This look good? koth ratios prototype

Yeah, I think so. I think a better representation of ability. Otherwise, you're like me, playing a bunch of games and then by virtue of that, get enough wins to be listed on top.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi
 
As much as I like seeing my name at the top. There is a problem with using ratios. While it would only take me losing two games to be ranked near Slynky, he would have to win nearly 55 games strait to get to the top. It would be far easer for Slynky to get to the top by simply playing under an new name.

The ratio shows ones average ratio over there entire career. Where as they may have improved substantially over time.

Perhaps if the ratio for the last 5 to 10 games were shown beside the overall ratio???

This is why I never botherd with the order on the rankings when I was running the hill. There lots of different ways you can come up with to order it and they all will put someone different at the top. And in the end it doesn't really matter because the only thing that matters is who is the King of the Hill and that's not reflected in the historical rankings. Slynky is just trying to find a way so his name isn't at the top, so just sort it alphabetically. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
