Box to Exclude Inca from Main HoF Table

I would like to see a box that can be checked on the main table that would exclude any Inca games from the main HoF table. I would be hoping for something like the box on the Ad-Hoc Query Page. First of all, is this possible? Secondly, is anyone else interested in seeing this?

You have my support.

It is possible. But. The main page is to show the "Official" HOF Tables. The Ad-Hoc Query was created to provide a look at the data in other "unofficial" ways. What are you looking for that you can't get from the Ad-Hoc?

It is easier to see the trends of where the top Non-inca scores across several entries on the main table, as opposed to doing an Ad-hoc query which shows only one top entry. I find this more interesting mostly.

I personally see most Inca games as outliers. This is mainly because Inca games are not used for EQM, gauntlets, and few challenge games. I am not sure if Inca games are eligible for QM.

A non-Inca button allows someone like myself to look at the big picture without Inca games, while not changing, altering, or tampering with the "Official HoF Table" that is available for everyone else.

I am by no means trying to resurrect any sort of Inca ban discussion. (I would be opposed to a ban.)

I can only speak for myself. That is why I have asked for others to give their input. If anyone looks at the statistics page, they will see that I am one of the players that is the most active in the HoF. I am asking for a change with something with which I am quite involved, not as a bystander.

They are for QM, not for EQM.

I'm not sure of the value really.
You can't really have this discussion without suggesting a ban on Inca.....IMO.

I have submitted games as Inca, but I don't think I currently hold any #1 spots with them (thanks STW ), so I have nothing to lose.

To be honest I don't really understand the hoo-ha about Inca... but thats just me.

The Incans are the best for pretty much every VC on the table for monarch+ games.

Having a no-Inca filter may be useful for people trying to gather information about victory dates when trying to estimate a "good" victory date for a gauntlet.

Yes, you are probably correct.

Isn't this what the ad-hoc query is for?

Anyway, I am not against an Inca-free HoF table per se, but from there it is not hard to imagine this becoming the default HoF table, which effectively means Inca has been banned by the back-door.

Oh, and I checked, I do hold two #1 spots with Inca, at Immortal. So I'm not as impartial as I first said.

Since Inca are banned from the EQM and from the most of the gauntlets since years, i find shulec's request perfectly fitting.

I'd like to see how many deity victories will disappear just ticking a box.

This is not a ban of Inca, it's just a way to see how the entire HoF main table looks like without them.

The ad-hoc query can't give you this info at a glance. So, if it's technically possible without great effort, i strongly support the request.

I have just opened a new thread on this topic with an poll. If interested, please click:
