Anyone working on cutting edge science, that is not top secret?

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

The webdip forumites tend to be more educated, or just smarter, than your average person, but are there also scientists around here?

What is wrong with my stats?

I am missing a % somehow?

Partysane (10754 )
10 Mar 14 UTC

Defeated: 130 ( 21% )
Won: 61 ( 10% )
Drawn: 290 ( 48% )
Survived: 111 ( 18% )
Resigned: 13 ( 2% )
Total (finished): 605

= 99%

I noticed it with one or two other players already lately. What is it? Is something on my side broken (even though i can't imagine what)?

SplitDiplomat (101466 )
10 Mar 14 UTC

I see 130 (22%) at your profile. Try logging off and then find yourself.
But it's possible,when you have,for example, 21,49 % defeats and 9,50 % wins, to miss a % or to have the amount of 101% either...

Partysane (10754 )
10 Mar 14 UTC

Logging on and off did not change it. I think i will try to get a game going as soon as possible and see how it turns out after that.

SplitDiplomat (101466 )
10 Mar 14 UTC

Then you have one defeat added but not a finished game added.
You have 21,55% defeats, 1,55% resignes and 18,41% survives. That's why percentages sometimes don't match 100 as they are close to 1/2 from both sides.

Out of interest, does winning lose a bit of its shine once you've clocked up over a half century of them?

Partysane (10754 )
10 Mar 14 UTC

Ah alright. Then it should fix itself in no time.

SplitDiplomat (101466 )
10 Mar 14 UTC

Yes,I see negative points in play now. And 603 finished games,not 605. That changes percentages a bit.
But it's possible,as I said,even with correct numbers to have an amount of 99 or 101.

Partysane (10754 )

Actually i think i gets even better the farther along you are. Possibly because you become more cynical and feel more joy over everyone else losing... :D

@Split, you're seeing a different number of completed games than he is because he must be in some anon games where he is already defeated.

@Partysane, the issue that you are seeing is simply an artifact of rounding. For example, if someone had 1 defeat, 1 survive and 1 draw in 3 games, each percentage would be listed as 33% simply to round things to the closest whole number.

“A lot of folks, they got a little bit of shine to them. They don't even know it. But they always seem to show up with flowers when their wives are feelin blue with the monthlies, they do good on school tests they don't even study for, they got a good idea how people are feelin as soon as they walk into a room.”

Alderian (2425 )
10 Mar 14 UTC

@Partysane, what yebellz said, it is just rounding.

If you do the math yourself and round to two decimal places instead of none, you get:
130/605 = 21.49%
61/605 = 10.08%
290/605 = 47.93%
111/605 = 18.35%
13/605 = 2.15%

And that does add up to 100% surprisingly enough. I was half expecting 99.99% or 100.01% due to rounding. Just the luck of the rounding I guess.

Partysane (10754 )
12 Mar 14 UTC

Yeah well. 9 finished games later i am still missing my %.
It seems as if i walk a very fine line between rounding up or down. I am disturbed and impressed by myself.

Draugnar (0 )
12 Mar 14 UTC

You are exactly 100% right now. But all it takes is one game to change that again.

Game stats: ◦Defeated: 132 ( 22% )
◦Won: 63 ( 10% )
◦Drawn: 295 ( 48% )
◦Survived: 111 ( 18% )
◦Resigned: 13 ( 2% )
◦Total (finished): 611

RIP Bob Crow

There are not many people who achieve as big an impact on the lives and minds of the British people as Bob Crow. I did not often agree with him, indeed I can't remember ever agreeing with him, but he was without doubt a man of principle who fought tirelessly for his beliefs and earned no small amount of respect. Rest in peace.

Need two players for a solid full-press game.

We're looking for two reliable players—either with no CDs or with very few CDs that can be explained away—to fill out gameID=137177. We’ve played several games together with largely the same group (a few rotate in and out each game), and they've all been good games with lots of press. They're pretty balanced as well--no solos yet.
