the little circule of

“grades” no appear .. :(

and 2 non flag winners

nobody saw my stats :(

Yes, we all saw your stats and silently digested them. Juspajara?a!

Nice stats! Thanks for the info!!

“Juspajara?a!”

what means?

http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/forum/topic2.jsp?forum=1&topic=1361

somebody can actualize this¿?

Hey!

I won three games (I think)… That would put Israel in there, no?

yes

if someone refresh this.

when somebody can refresh this????

and yes thierry

that would put israel in there.

Well, for starters, the Republic of Mysteria has four wins (that's the country with the question mark on the flag in case you didn't know.)

Don't laugh, they're VERY patriotic!

I always thought Mysteria was a kingdom.

(since it is mysterious that although rational arguments would clearly point out that a republic would be more democratic then a kingdom, it turns out to be the other way around (the only reason I can think of is that in a republic the president has (often twice) 4 (USA) to 7 (France) years to fill his pockets), while the king is born with full pockets and doesn't need to take the trouble anymore).

“while the king is born with full pockets and doesn't need to take the trouble anymore”

Or queen.. Let's not be sexist!

AFAIK it's about keeping the job inside the Royal Family. To achieve this, they even allowed Queens. There are more important goals than sexism.

The old way (“whoever manages to defeat the dragon, gets my daughter plus the kingdom after my death”) was not necessary any more, when dragons became extinct.

Wow Hjalti, that was an insightful analogy

For kpato…

Below are the current number of wins by each country, from Game #1 (“Snow”) through Game #172 (the empty expression), a total of 171 games. (There was no Game #110.)

(79) USA

(25) Poland

(24) Finland

(13) Netherlands

(12) Canada

(12) United Kingdom

(08) Germany

(07) Chile

(07) Norway

(06) Belgium

(05) Taiwan

(04) Italy

(04) Yugoslavia

(04) - null -

(03) Brazil

(03) France

(03) Israel

(03) Zimbabwe

(02) Greece

(01) Andorra

(01) Egypt

(01) New Zealand

(01) Portugal

(01) Slovakia

(01) Sweden

(01) Switzerland

(01) Ukraine

The results were obtained by cutting and pasting the source code from the Empathy Results Page into a text file, and then simply parsing the data, looking for all references for “.gif' title='” in the file. You'll note that after each such reference, the winning country is listed. It was then a simple matter to save this data to a file and sort and total the results. The entire program uses just 20 lines of code.

The data would be more relevant if the total number of players from each country who have played was known. For example, USA may have three times as many winners as the next highest country, but if ten times as many players from the USA have played, then the USA would certainly have nothing to brag about.

The following people have played 150 or more games:

153 /jsp/info/player.jsp?plid=10954 Paavo Pirinen

And how did you do this, Fat? You most have catched and crunched a lot of files ?

So, the real winners are:

1. Israel (Thierry!)

2. Yugoslavia

3. Zimbabwe

4. Finland

( one win only gives really too random results ;)

Hope I guessed the abbreviations correctly

To find all players - 171 wgets, 171 greps, one sort, one uniq.

Then to get the actual tallies - Hundreds of “lynx -dump"s, hundreds of greps, one perl script to combine player nationalities with the number of games they'd played, one sort.

Do not expect me to do this again, as it hammers the server rather a lot. It would be an utterly trivial query to perform at the server itself, so you should persuade the webmaster to implement the feature if you think it's useful or interesting.

Only those with 4 or more victories listed.

nice numbers.

but hey ed

we use a diferent system

u count all the FLAGS

But for example

on the “roman numbers games”

there are (flags):

6 USA

2 FIN

2 GER

2 CHI

2 UK

1 TAI

1 NUL

1 BEL

1 NET

1 SWI

1 ITA

but i think is more fair

.no mather how much of flags are there

its 1 point

to USA , UK , CHI , FIN …etc

do u undestand?

that is the system that i use

show the reality more clear.

Nice. …Of course it's nice. I'm doing damn well :)

Actually I think winning rounds is less interesting feat than hanging on top ten lists (quite a feat if you really can win when you want to, but in practise it seems rather random). On a long run it matters some, but it's still not what I aim at. I think taking more risks gets you more wins, but worse average rating. I try to avoid risks (though sometimes fail on that).

It's again pity that we've lost the last summer. I think we might get it on the waybackmachine soon, if we're lucky.

u are right paavo

maybe there is some way to see

the “topten stay time list”

or something like that.

or

FIRST PLACES …X days.

maybe we can use the 2places and 3places of the games

because..i think maybe are players that have 1 game won

but have 10 2nd places :\|…it is important too.

On this page you can see the top 10 players of last 7 games after round n.

game 127 to 141

hey robin

what about your places on the topten in a row?

Robin, can you expand on your last list? Give us the results for players who held it for three consecutive rounds, then possibly four, etc.? And who held it the longest?

Jeez, I thought the way I arrived at my stats was pretty cool. I forgot the company I'm keeping. Some of these other stats, and the method used to generate them, blows my stats away.

Hi Ed,

I think my last list contains exactly that information. You are number one on the list with TWELVE consecutive rounds. Pawel and Paavo share second place with EIGHT consecutive wins etc…

Robin

My last post contains a mistake. Pawel and Paavo share second place with EIGHT consecutive rounds at the number one spot of the “top 10 of last 7 games” (not consecutive wins).

Ah, my mistake. I was misreading the information.

Ok, thanks.

kpato said: “what about your places on the topten in a row?”

I don't know, but it's less than twelve :) However, I appeared 45 times in the top ten of the last seven round. You appeared only 23 times in that list :p

:c !! :(

and what about the others?

nobody? hehe

I think it is a good idea to create a webpage with empathy statistics. Ed, perhaps you can provide some space for this on your homepage?

It would probably be interesting to be able to break down the expressions by country. I would bet that cycling brings different things to mind for Americans than it does for people who live in the UK for example. It could help us to understand the way people from different places think.

Bumped to spotlight mongoose's cool new table!
