Here are the frequencies (histogram) of different game outcomes (either a solo or draw) sorted by most frequent to least frequent. It's not very intelligible as is (more akin to a raw data dump), but anyone can feel free to use to it study correlations in how some countries are more or less likely to reach a draw together.

Weird, in the country statistics breakdown, I used spaces to align the columns of data, but some how those redundant spaces got removed when I made this post. Does this forum remove extra white space?

TESTING:

Austria
Wins: 10 3.6%

Awesome. Thanks for doing all this.

So France has a 48,7% win/draw percentage.
Almost as good as me. :P

hm...
they all have the same amount of 7 way draws... :)

It seems as though the Big 3 here are Turkey, France, and... Germany! I'm pretty surprised at that last one, personally. Germany is one of the biggest victims of midgame shakeout syndrome. I could have taken a solo with Germany and tied it for second! Oh well. :P

So, it seems FGT is the place to be.

Wins: Aus 10 3.6% Eng 9 3.2% Fra 15 5.3% Ger 12 4.3% Ita 7 2.5% Rus 10 3.6% Tur 13 4.6%

As a percentage of total(72) wins:

Rus 13.88%
Aus 13.15%
Eng 12.5%

Weird seeing a true Juggernaut and Western Triple; the two and three, respectively, drew 2 and 1 times, respectively. Interesting seeing that especially the Western Triple has stayed true to domination rather than the Juggernaut.

@acmac10: but that's also just 3 games out of 281. unlikely things can happen.

By the way, here are those three games, the RT and EFG draws:

gameID=6147
gameID=15069
gameID=37614

Those three (EFT and RT) draws happened in the Leagues.

Also, the 7-way draw, gameID=26653 happened in the Masters where draws don't count for anything and only solos affect the standings.

With all those stats out, can I assume that the league's activities are about to end and a new season about to begin?

Probably so Cachimbo, but you have to have a medal to get into the new league. LOL

@Cachimbo, there is one game left running in the webdip league.

Any stats on anon full press games?

Cool. Thanks for the info. It's the premier league game, right?

Yes, and you can check the status of all the current league games here:
http://tournaments.webdiplomacy.net/The-php-League/leagues-winter-2011

Cheers!

Inclusion of the leagues will skew your results as the Meta gaming that occurs in the later games has nothing to do with in game strategy.

@Cachimbo, re: "With all those stats out, can I assume that the league's activities are about to end and a new season about to begin?"
The timing of the release of my statistics is not correlated with the schedule of the leagues. It's just a coincidence. In fact, if I had been patient I also could have included the current leagues.

@mapleleaf: I generated all of these statistics using a handy perl script, so it'll be trivial for me to regenerate them for just a subset of the games, if you want to look at statistics that only include games of a particular type. Any particular set of tournaments you'd like to look at?

@Draugnar: I totally agree that league meta could possibly create a bias in the results. I think the different rules of these various competitions certainly create all sorts of biases. For example, in the Masters, only solos have an impact on the standings, so somewhat unsurprisingly, the only 7-way draw happened in that competition. Also, GFDT has a scoring system that is essentially PPSC, which could potentially skew the percentage of solos.

If anyone wants to see statistics for a particular subset of tournaments/leagues, let me know.

That's pretty interesting to see the modern statistics on high-level play differ from the conventional wisdom of the classic PBM writers.

I always had a personal opinion that France was the strongest country to play on the basis that it has the best access to all of the naval choke points + Munich.

275 players participated in the 281 league/tournament games that I surveyed. Of those players, 54 have won at least one of those games. 19 have won at least twice.

Only three have won thrice.
userID=3927 gameID=7414 gameID=13217 gameID=17149
userID=11454 gameID=10519 gameID=11487 gameID=12004
userID=12416 gameID=10543 gameID=19910 gameID=50983

I'd like to see the statistics without the non-diplomacy game... I mean, without the gunboat tourney. Apples and oranges compared to the rest (IMHO). And maybe without the lowest tier in the leagues, either (the intro, as I assume there are CDs and replacement players there a lot more than the upper leagues).

Yeah I'd like to see the gunboat games filtered out as well, they might deflate how strong Russia is, especially considering how strong Russia has traditionally been considered.

Here are the statistics, with the following competitions/games *removed*:

By the way, I wouldn't read too much into these stats or any of the stats that I have posted, for several reasons:

1) This is a rather small sample set. 281 games isn't really that much to base anything on, especially considering that there are no more than 15 wins per country.
2) There is not really that much to assure quality play. Sure, it's the leagues/tournaments, but the entry criterion is quite varied and still there is some impact from CDs/NMRs
3) The various competition formats biases play. For example, the leagues are affected by meta-gaming; there's no incentive to reduce the size of the draw in the masters; and the GFDT was PPSC while others were WTA.

Also, I am disinclined to believe that there is a "best-country". I think that a particular player might have a *personal* best country(ies), which would be largely dependent on personal style and strategic mindset, but still quite possibly be any of the 7 powers. I do certainly think that there may be a bias in the "personal best country" across this website. Thus, any statistics comparing performance between countries may just be measuring this bias and not necessarily any inherent bias in the game.

While the game is asymmetric, ideal strategic players should compensate for these asymmetries. In practice, the success or failure of a particular country is due to a complex combination of these asymmetries with the strategic mindsets and playing styles of the players involved. Any bias in the performance of a particular country may have more to do with a bias in the personal styles of the community of players. The game does not leave any county as doomed to fail or destined to win.

In short, I don't think these statistics measure the game, but rather the community.
