Congrats on a great score Rumpel. Now I do I get appreciation.

Thanks. I've just sent you one by UPS. You should get it by tomorrow.

Wait a minute, how did you get my address.

That's because there's 3 letters in my eyes: K-G-B.

319th place - the worst derby since November 2005

370/371, yay.
1/2 for the year, but just barely


My average ranking also shot up nearly 3 places, and overall score dropped by almost a half percent.

At least the winning score was over 70.

362 out of 452, my worst performance ever percentage-wise; yeah, worse than the 416th finish of 579 three months ago.

246th.

Still third place for the year, by only 17 points (or 1.7% deficit).

310th...

right behind you. #311

My ranking is going from bad to worse

168th for the week, and up 1 spot to 7th of the year.

Could've been worse, I guess.

Didn't Flash of Genius made 2.251M, why did they use a 2.6 figure?

WTF! That's true! Will they change it?

I'm not really complaining but that's a little bit unfair. It will cost about 23-24 points in the yearly race.

The results are correct now. Moved from 316th to 264th.

there is another error: September had 5 games, not 4

It was the 2nd lowest top score in Derby hist, after Corpse's Legend/Chipmunks win.
It was the 10th lowest ave score in Derby hist.

If BOM listed champs by the average relative-to-average score like they should to be the most fair, you all wouldn't have to sweat games like this. For example Remus, currently the champion listed, was not penalized by this game because he/she didn't play it.

BOM:

Here's the real all-time Box Office Mojo Derby Champ list, listing all of those who have achieved an average score at least 10% above the average for the respective games they played in, and modified to include only those who have played at least 30 games.

Notes about this list:
1. There is no restriction on last game played.
2. If there have been user name changes, I can't account for those.
3. Ave Rank, Ave Score, and # Games are less accurate measures of rank because the relative difficulty and pool size of the different games are not accounted for as they are in this relative-to-average measure. For example, Jeremy Larsen ranks higher than Vovanik by this measure because the games he played in were significantly harder on average. I am measuring game difficulty by the average player score in each game (and there has been virtually no trend in average score over time). (Edit: out of the 1123 30+ game players, Larsen's game set was the 5th hardest. As an example, his worst game was a 59%, though it landed him just outside the top third.) What I have not accounted for (and good luck trying to) is the relative skill of the pool of players in each game (eg. playing against all extremely good players vs. playing against all extremely bad players). But we can safely assume that the average true skill of players is about the same for every game.

Other Derby stats:
1. 14,340 distinct user names have played (who knows how many unique people).
2. 1,123 have played 30+ games.
3. 311 have played 100+ games.
4. 23 have played 300+ games.

Up to 256th now. I rule

Congratulations to Scott, Omni/Corpse for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Well done!

2/3 for the week. A little.... bittersweet I guess? Could have won the week if we didn't change a few things, and Ember had quite the low IM. But hey, 2/3!

Congrats on the win Scotty!

Interesting stats. I was wondering if you'd get a significantly different result if you used the average relative-to median score instead of the mean score.

Thanks for the congrats guys.

I am also closing in on you Corpse for the yearly chart.

Amazing. 5th overall, but only 4th from KJ

Congrats Scott, Omni/Corpse
