Statistics Spreadsheet
Inside:
☺ (1304 D)

OK, so many people put more detailed statistics in their comments. I went one step further, and made a publicly available spreadsheet that has MUCH more functionality, including filters that will allow you to filter out things, and see, for example, only gunboat statistics, or only statistics for games with pots between 500 and 750, etc. etc.

You will have to manually enter all of your games into the spreadsheet, but that shouldn't take too long, unless you have hundreds of games.

If anyone would like to take this spreadsheet to use as their own method of keeping track of things, that's fine by me, you're welcome to download it. I made some comments explaining it a little bit, but you'll have to download it for them to work, comments are disabled in the web app.

If you can work out what statistics you're trying to compile, and the statistical methods used to generate them, they can be run on the full dataset as output for GR

@ ava: Only Smiles.

One of the reasons I wanted a new account was to separate my statistics. I had a number of CD takeovers on rlumley, and I learned to play diplomacy on that account, and sucked for a good, long while.

Besides, putting all of those in would take forever. :-P

And fig, I'm not sure really what your point is.

I think fig's point is that I could do this relatively easily for everyone.

Thanks figle.

I mean, if you can work out what stats you wanted to compile, and how to compile them (even if as simple as "count number of wta games") then they could be generated from the full data set.

Yeah, but I don't know how to do any of that. I do know Excel, and I know it very well. XD.

Re Ava again: I also had a number of games with cheaters in them that were later banned.

Re Topic: I added an "Average number of players per draw" category too.

What webDiplomacy really needs...
I very much miss multilateral negotiations here. Next to global broadcasts and bilateral correspondence, there ought to be the option to adress several (but not all) players at once. It's a very basic and very necessary feature that all Diplomacy judges have. webDiplomacy really needs to up its game on that one.

2010 Player of the Year
As some of you recall, I released a series of stats last year, as an unofficial player of the year award, using the data I get for Ghost-Rating.

Here is the 2010 version. (If someone formats it with links by each player's name I would be really grateful)

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Picard And Sisko Argue Ethics--Ends vs. Means!
We started to have a debate about this in the last topical post, so I thought I'd give it the full attention it deserves, since it IS one of greatest dilemmas in all of ethical thought and conduct. And, luckily enough we have two GREAT advocates for the opposing positions: Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Captain Benjamin Sisko! ;) So, as a fun end of the year discussion, if ends DO justify the means, to what extent, and if they DON'T...then what IS justifiable?
