Thanks Abstract Love your work

[syfRize]

Here are all of my accounts, some have been re-named and I'm adding 1 or 2 I think.
Just might be easier for you to see all the links here rather than scattered about.

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't updated this in a while I have been v. busy.

There needs to be some changes on the program due to blizzard changing the API. Due to this and as I am not really playing starcraft at the moment I think that I will have to stop doing this thread.

Sorry about that. I hope you all enjoyed it while it was running.

Eddie give me my Top 10 points. Every point counts dammit!

Thread will be closed until abstract decides to make a return.. but even then it would be 4.0 I guess

It is just best to accept only one per person (so they have to nominate their account to be used).

Also showing Different Data on one person can be confusing. There is no point in showing Data/Stats from different Account/s of the same one person.

Nearly everyone has more than one account added. Many people ladder on multiple servers so I think it is totally justified that they should be able to add them. I have accounted for it all through the program so it doesn't affect the accuracy etc. There is no double counting.

The only possible problem would be with people adding accounts that are not theirs or that other people are playing on. I think that would be unlikely though.

EDIT: The cyclone / liquid instance was just my error though and doesn't really apply to the others.

Might tell you which regions is harder or easy for the person).

Was referring to the win rates for each region etc. The combined win rate count I thought was interesting. But having specific win rates published for each and every region is probs unnecessary. So abstract doesn't have to crack his head to think how to make that a reality

Even then abstract has already made it an option for players to choose to make that stats public or not. So it's already pretty good.

Dedication is about consistently practicing, with blizzard ladder trying to push everyone to a 50% winrate anyway it doesn't hold much meaning.

I will try to explain why it is not redundant data with some scenarios that are quite common.

Person A usually ladders on KR but sometimes the connection to those servers is laggy for them, during these times they ladder on NA.

Person B plays on SEA most of the time but after a string of losses to smurfs they decide to play on NA for a bit.

Person C plays on NA most of the time but needs to have a number of games on SEA to enter a BSG so this week they have switched to that ladder.

In all these circumstances playing on the other account is showing #dedication and therefore should be counted.

When it is really just a few people, because of their other accounts they own.

ah ok I think you are maybe misunderstood something and that is the source of all this.

A real person has only one spot in the table, regardless of the number of accounts. I aggregate all of the data for each of there accounts under one name. So every player listed is a person to beat.
