This season?

[Black Mage]

I think I heard talk of Ardour doing this again this season, but I haven't seen him around lately. Any word on that?

[kthx]

I hope Ardour decides to but.. I think he quit playing, that isn't to say that I think he won't do this though.

I am willing to help out with twlm again if he runs it.

The website is already up... and most of the players already have rankings based on last season...

All you would have to do is update the squads and reset the statistics/leaderboards/money and its done.

I see NO reason why this couldn't be run again VERY easily. Ardour did so much work on it last season to where it can be reused pretty easily.

Ardour said this in mid May to Humid talking about the potential draft ratings system:

Okay, Ive been working on a rating system that gives players values which ends up in a 10 star value. The formula is simple and currently is applied to last seasons scores. I believe, to make this draft its own league, and if we wanted to give value to players, then we should base that value on how well those players did in that league in the past.We shouldnt base values on our opinions or on other leagues. Even if you say theres no difference between them.

Okay back to the rating system that Im proposing:

1* 200$
2* 400$
3* 600$
4* 800$
5* 1000$
6* 1200$
7* 1400$
8* 1600$
9* 1800$
10* 2000$

Ardour
Warbird: Kills-Deaths 34-37 = 322
Javelin: 7-15 = 163
Spider: 0-0 = 250
Total = 735
Stars = 3

Now lets include a few who did well last season!

Ease
Warbird: 90-77 = 409
Javelin: 103-82 = 440
Spider: 419-324 = 453
Total = 1302
Stars = 6

Vys
Warbird: 81-63 = 450
Javelin: 44-59 = 261
Spider: 317-266 = 417
Total = 1128
Stars = 5

Formula is (k/d) x 350
Capping values at 100 to 650. Default is 250.
So a new player signing up is defaulted to 750 (3 stars).
For base ive made it so if kills are greater than deaths, it calculates a value. (so that all the sharks that took part last season dont get valued at 100!)

If a player does terrible in all 3 leagues, their total value will be set to 300 making them a 1 star player. If a player does amazing, the most possible value achievable will be 1950 (650 x 3) making them a 10 star player. This doesent stop them increasing even further in values. But they cant get more than 10 stars.

The player values were going to increase/decrease using the twlm formula.

Ive not actually looked at any other possible player values but even if the highest is around 6 stars at the start of this season, I still think thats good as it leaves something for players to strive for.

The above system is already programmed and is available to try at: http://www.trenchwars.org/twdt/new/
Login and it will work out your value. Relogin and click on the signup button, then click on 'Waivers' and you can see what your value is.
(I programmed this in mind to use it for this season so people didnt have to use the forum to signup but summas already created the signup thread and got things rolling)
