Field of Glory Tabletop Rankings Live!

[timmy1]

I don't think it is in your ranking. The two reasons I can see why it might not be there are:

1: the different points per game

2: Si (or whoever) has not reported the results with a listing of armies and/or opponents by round.

Or 3, he send them to Hammy, who might have forgotten them or more likely decided they are unusable if a different scoring system was used (which might or might not be correct).

Only one way to find out ... JAMES... you know your job, get us those results please.

Thanks, does 'all of these' indicate the other 3 were 25 mm or that you just don't know?

Anything else?

Yes, how the heck do I fit the CoastCon 33 theme into an 80 characters field?

[timmy1]

Karsten

The commonly accepted English convention for boiling such down to a much shorter phrase is to use the word 'stuff'. As in if you were eventually to have FoG:AM, FoG:RW, FoG:N, and FoG:S&S, doubles and singles, scales, themes, active and lifetime histories and all the other things you have been asked for, rather than say that every time, you might say 'Martin and I do the FoG rankings stuff'. For CoastCon 33 you can either say 'Western Europe, 1250 A.D. to 1500 A.D stuff', or more simply 'some stuff'. You always have the option to reduce it to the simple 'stuff'. It conveys that the full description is too long to repeat every time but that there was more provided.

[Ghaznavid]

Thanks... I settled for: "West-Europe from Storm of Arrows, Oath of Fealty + Lost Scrolls 1250-1500" if anyone has a better idea... stuff sounds to much like turkey for me though.


Btw. the 24 month limit is now active, currently it affects just 19 players though.
There is an additional checkbox on the players ranking page that allows you to view the full list, including those players that did not play any tournaments in the last 24 months.

[peterrjohnston]

Have you got day 2 from Athens yet Karsten by any chance? After day 1 looked interestingly poised...

More like, the ones I gave you were from the Gulf Coast Championship and I had all of their information as the GCC Coordinator. I believe for the most part all of the others may have been 15mm but they sometimes also have 25mm events in other places so I did not want to speak for them.

I think what you came up with for Coastcon sounds reasonable.

Well that one is difficult. Actually Martin entered those from Athens. I hadn't noticed and knowing him in Athens and presumably busy otherwise took the opportunity for some maintenance and extension works on the database. To that end I DL it, modified it locally, tested it and reupped. So even if Martin entered the 2nd day results they have been overwritten. I'm pretty sure he will input the full results tonight though.

IC, thanks. I guess I will flag that posting for Marc then.

Just noticed we are also missing more detailed info on how the themes in Derby last year were structured:

Derby - Old Glory World Team Championships 09 - Classical
Derby - Old Glory World Team Championships 09 - European Medieval
Derby - Old Glory World Team Championships 09 - Middle East & The Crusades

[Ghaznavid]

Hi all,

I just uploaded a modified version of the Player Rankings.

The Player Rankings page now includes a 'more options' box. It contains the already familiar functions 'Show points in addition to the ELO-Score.' and 'Show all players, even those that did not play any tournaments in the last 24 months.' What's new is the option to give a date range for the Player Rankings.
If a date range is entered only the results from tournaments that fall inside the given date range will be considered for creating the ranking list.

Currently there is one restriction. It is not possible to have a ranking list with custom dates that also shows the total and average points as well. This is due to both being high load operations for the server, so I'm reluctant to allow both at the same time. (Also implementing the points thingy in combination with custom dates is a bit tricky. So even if the server bears the load well it might be a bit before I get around to that. Unless we get lots of requests for it.)

Karsten

Thank you for that.

I don't know if it was intended but now when I click on a country (e.g. Pete Dalby is a player of country 'Great Britian') from the player rankings, the country display is entirely in German. Is it possible for the page to retain the original langauge used?

Regards
Tim

[Ghaznavid]

No, obviously that wasn't intended. It's a side effect of me building the new page in German first and testing it for a few days on the German site. Given the scope of the changes it was far easier to redo the translation then to try and modify the English page. Seems I missed changing some the links while redoing the translation.
Should be fixed now, thanks.

[timmy1]

Thanks, that makes sense. Seems to work now

It is part of Karsten's--exquisitely subtle--plan to bring the German team to victory at the ITC in Lisbon this September.

I thought Karsten's exquisitely subtble plan for Germany to win the ITC was to rig the draw so that they played the American team in all 4 rounds...

Regards
Tim

[Ghaznavid]

Would probably not suffice to win as the ITC is 6 rounds IIRC. That and the sad fact that there won't be a German team.
