New Global Rankings Page - with Extra Speed Rankings

[AlanH]

I've updated the C-IV Global Ranking page.

The defaults are the same as before, displaying Score Rankings relative to the best score in each game. But now you can choose to display rankings based on DaveMcW's Speed Ranking, or Combined Rankings where the better of each player's Speed and Score Ranking is taken for each game. You can also choose to have the list sorted by Cumulative Ranking or by the rankings for the latest game you have selected.

I know I don't even need to ask you to let me know if you spot any problems with the new version

That's great AlanH - very useful indeed.

Of course I have an ulterior motive for being pleased - under the Speed ratings it seems I'm boosted to the lofty heights of the world's 398th best player, instead of the miserable depths of being 399th.

 

[AlanH]

I knew it would help someone

 

[ainwood]

Looks good, Alan!

 

[LordKestrel]

Eww, I drop 300 ranks when sorted by speed I'll take my score-based #592, thanks

 

[Redbad]

I like the speed and combined rating: it lifts me up 300 places compared to the score rating. As I've done only culture games without being all that agressive I suppose it makes me one of the players that benefits most from the speed rating.

 

[DaveMcW]

Excellent!

Now I can move to phase 2 of my campaign: making the combined ranking the default.

 

[Obormot]

Yes, that would be nice. I really like the way the combined ranking table looks like, we can see all the good players that played regulary at the top of the table, nomatter what kind of games they played. Good job, Alan! I used to ignore the ratings we had before because they were so unfair to fast finishers, but now I think I will try hard to get myself a higher combined rating

 

[Harok]

Great work as always GOTM staff.

 

[kojimanard]

Very good work. The combined is probably the best overall ranking.

 

[socralynnek]

Good work. I have a feature request: How about, when I hover the pointer over a number, then I get a tool-tip with something like:
"Domination Victory in 1234 AD
Score 34567"

Would be nice to know what the top players in there do...

 

[AlanH]

Good thinking! I was trying to work out how to display the VCs in limited space, but forgot the most obvious option of a tool tip.

 

[Alraun]

Excellent!

Now I can move to phase 2 of my campaign: making the combined ranking the default.

Something like making it actually combined, giving 50% of your rating to each, might be more interesting.

 

[AlanH]

Good thinking! I was trying to work out how to display the VCs in limited space, but forgot the most obvious option of a tool tip.

I've added the tooltips.

 

[Garmoon]

hmm Score rank 75th. Speed rank 23rd. Combined rank 31. And I'm about to play all future games toward Domination victory for maximum score

 

[Matty B]

Is there a new link I should be using? The page I see only tracks rankings up to GOTM5, but GOTM6 has been finished for over a month.

 

[DaveMcW]

Nothing wrong with the link or you, GOTM6 results are just really slow.

 

[Shoot the Moon]

Great job as always.

The one thing I found that could be streamlined was when you select a player, but then change the scoring method you have to retype that player. Would it be possible to keep the searched player showing?
