Histographic

I guess fixing one bug resulted in about of the histographic players improving a spot. Or did someone fall off the histographic ladder, because of Scratcher's new entry, and that person no longer has a histographic game on the charts?

I don't remember what the Huge Emperor Histographic table looked like 24 hours ago.

And all those ghosts that have ranks between 86 and 152 of LulThyme. I wonder how they changed rank this update

Denniz got bumped off the previous #10 spot: https://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=1004

Ah, I see he still has another histographic entry though. A Tiny Chieftain game for 1621. So, the histographic competition doesn't track your best submitted histographic game score-wise necessarily. It only tracks your best submitted histographic game on the histographic tables.

But, it says:

"This page is a list of the best Histographic games submitted by each player."

Those aren't just entries that satisfy the rules and have gotten checked. They also have to chart on the individual tables broken down by map size and difficulty level.

And it seems reasonable to infer that if some future state made it so that Small Chieftain had 10 entires of positive score, then LulThyme would not have a position at all in the histographic competition.

One of the big reasons we created the whole Quartermaster thing was to try and fill the HOF tables. Database entries don't count.

 

[Spoonwood]

Denniz's histographic game that took 11:48:15 at Tiny Chieftain has more value to the HoF than his game that took 131:01:19 at Huge Emperor.

Well, I do suppose communities often do work in such a way that similar things do happen elsewhere...

 

[Spoonwood]

Scratcher did have a histographic entry before. There were not any new players who had a histographic entry this update. Spiffykeen7744 has a score of 39144 at 25th position, while 26th position has a score of 33384. Denniz's Huge Emperor Histographic game scored 38874 points.

So, Denniz dropped from 26th to 81st in the histographic competition in this update.
