Would it be indiscreet to ask which kinf of tools have been used to create that stat-tool of yours ?

                        
#629  by Veteran kryo - 10/27/2003 11:32:30 AM

AFAIK, the statbot was made completely by hand, from scratch (except the pie charts), by idle and kasualkid.

Not at all

Yup.

With some perl code, and permission from Stardock, the MWC's very own KasualKid wrote a fantastic script to mine the top 25 empires and the top 100 independants.

He is also the one who put together the database structure using mYSQL.

With lots of help from GreenReaper and Kjartan on the #galciv IRC channel I was able to put together what you see here http://idle.thehueys.com/midwest/empireapp.php Link

These pages were created entirely in 'vi' on a Mandrake 9.0 linux box.

I had full intentions of getting a game in this weekend as well as working on the stat machine, but real life had other plans for my time.

I hope to add some more data to the script like last weeks data and last month, plus some bar graphs depicting games over time, per version or morality.

If you have any ideas please post them

Thx....
i just had a far fetch idea for a different way of scoring empires against each other, and wanted to try out how it would look

but i hardly have any coding experiense, so i guess is was hoping that you had answered Access or Excel....although deep down i probably knew it was going to be that simple

The metaverse gods have smiled upon me!

For no readily apparent reason my score increased by nearly 20,000 points at some point this afternoon!

Where the boost came from I have no idea, especially since I haven't submitted anything since Saturday...

Regardless, as long as the boost stays, I'm only 2 or 3 games away from the number one evil ranking in the metaverse!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

                        
#633  by Citizen Rishara - 10/27/2003 10:43:35 PM

Okay guys, we're within one good game of both 2nd and 3rd place empires. Alas, I must go to bed and cannot play any more this evening, but come on, someone else submit some games.

                      
#634  by Citizen Rishara - 10/27/2003 10:46:01 PM

Okay, maybe 2... I don't think we have any 60,000 pt crankers, do we? I can't stand gigantic games, so you won't ever see me doing that...

                      
#635  by Veteran kryo - 10/28/2003 7:34:25 AM

I've put in a couple gig masos but the time investment just isn't really worth it IMO... though with the scoring boosts in 1.11 you should be able to come very close if not to 60k with a huge maso now. And a large can still net you 45k, which is not bad by any means...

                        
#636  by Veteran kasualkid - 10/28/2003 10:06:37 AM

Started a painful/gigantic last night (on 1.11) - noticed two things:

1) the Yor colonized a PQ 14 planet

2) they got really agitated when I planted a culture mod on a starbase in that sector

Also, it was really easy (inexpensive) to get various races to fight each other, but really difficult (expensive) to get them to not fight me.

I should add also that the minors are very aggressive at getting trade goods and galactic wonders - just seemed kinda weird after playing maso and crippling and having to fight the major AI's for this stuff.

Sorry I got busy at work right at this critical time. Couldn't play at all. Maybe now I will get a few games in. We had to present our designs for exterior elevations to the owner today so I have been putting in 50+ hour weeks getting the presentation together. The good news is it went over well.

                      
#639  by Citizen Rishara - 10/29/2003 9:08:40 AM

I really don't have much time to play during the week. I'll try to get a couple good games in over the weekend. I noticed that culture flipping seems far far easier in the latest version. i don't know what they did, but I was flipping planets without even trying. It was kinda weird.

I don't mind it when the AIs go after the TGs, since they're way more willing to sell them to you!

                      
#640  by Veteran idleprocess - 10/29/2003 11:15:12 AM

Well I guess I'll chime in here too.

RL has me by the shorties. I haven't gotten a game in almost a month!

I'm not even going to say I'll try and get a game in this week or weekend

I am working on the statbot in my spare time at work though

Well, 'bout the only thing I can suggest is start a game and play a bit at a time. I do that. I know it is not as fun as sitting for the whole event, but at least you get some time in.

My latest game has spanned 3 days so far.

Since I do live in the Mid-west, I went ahead and joined your empire - which has put the Mid-West Confederation into 2nd place for the moment. I won't be playing in the upcoming weeks quite as much as I have this past month, but I figured I may as well let my scores contribute. Happy gaming to all!

Thanks, Gyb, and welcome to MWC! Even if you don't play much, your past scores are a welcome contribution to the empire

                        
#644  by Veteran kasualkid - 10/29/2003 2:00:11 PM

Gyb, thanks for joining and hope you get some time to play now and then! Welcome to the MWC!!!

Just thought I would wander in and pay my respects. It has been a while since I visited. Just remember, the pirates shall rise again! Protect those corn fields well.
