I assume this is because they haven't finished a league game since this season started. GreatGonzales, you might consider something to adjust for this in your accounting. If someone high-ranking disappears from the list, maybe estimate a rank based on known rankings before and after.

Hmm. Well, if you look at my spreadsheet (which I am about to post) you'll see I keep track of peoples' "most recent" rank. So when, for example, Javaseed comes back, his rank shift will be compared to the last time we had a rank recorded for him (11/30 I believe). But you're suggesting that I somehow adjust someone's rank because I happen to know that Alvendor has been removed due to inactivity, but his true rank is still very high, thus displacing active players' true rank. I could attempt to do this but it would be very complicated... I would have to adjust everyone's rank according to other players on record who have a higher "most recent" rank, and also have that impact be affected by the currency of the rank. For example, Javaseed would have a bigger impact than someone like [Admiral77], who just came out of retirement.

I dunno, sounds like this would be more trouble than it's worth. Unless you have a simpler way of handling it.

It's time for an update to the...

Outwitters Top 200 Ranking Trends

A lot of green this week! It's been 2 weeks since the last update, so there have been some pretty dramatic shifts. I will give a summary of the highlights:

Soaring to the top:

awpertunity (13 places to reach 7th)
mastercaster (26 places to reach 19th)
Riptor (33 places to reach 23rd)
antersz (42 places to reach 28th)
exzachtlee (114 places to reach 30th)
wcmishere (70 places to reach 45th)
losingfaith (52 places to reach 52nd)
The Rawkhawk (53 places to reach 60th)
Emuchu (100 places to reach 66th)
GreatGonzales (19 places to reach 17th) (hehe, had to mention it! )

There are many others this week, sorry if I didn't mention your meteoric rise! Of course, it is tougher to rise in the ranks as you approach 1st place, so it's more impressive to get these high numbers in the top 100.

..Sir3.. and ren8585 both suffered surprising falls in rank. It's getting tough to stay at the top! Congratulations to poweewee for taking the number 1 spot, and to garcia10000 for breaching the top 5.

Da Wizard is also gone

3 of our clan's ST members aren't here: Terence, DaWizerd, videogamer. They are active, but I guess not many league games. And alvendor. This leads me to believe a lot are missing and other more active players have artificially shifted up in this list (me included).

[Alvendor]

Too many friendlies and too few ranked for me! Only ranked is with veggies against Sir3 on glitch which seems to be a never ending story..

Yup, I finished one game on patch day, been busy with tournaments and such since, I limit myself to no more then 5 or so open games at a time.

Congrats to my partner poweewee being #1, and all the iPro members in the top 200.

I only finished (lost) a game with pokhs on foundary this two weeks, I haven't started a game in season 2. I think that is the reason I am not on the list!

Thanks partner! Thanks everyone! I finally reached #1, though it would have been better if I played a few games against Terenceshiu as well I've been playing mostly against pokhs and garcia recently.

Well considering I'm just recovering from a finals week loosing streak I certainly did not see this coming. #136, what a pleasant surprise.
