I've sliced and diced the data every way I can (aside from "custom" formulas) and I can't possible find a method to put both Nihi at the top and Force at the bottom.

How about some transparency... share the "formula" with everyone k?

Least when I was producing the charts, I was faithful to the data and didnt devise some "master calculation" that showed it the way I wanted to see it... You're a joke phpboy.

If I'd know you were going to doctor the data and not use straight up statistical analysis I would have never given you it.
When I designed the system I did not look at nor care who was on top.

I went through 3-4 version of the points system and every system I did had Nihilum way on top and Force way on bottom. I have nothing against Force, I did not care where they ranked or anyone else for that matter.

I could have just left the data I had and a Nihilum would have remained in every top slot. But I wanted complete data, no matter who it would put at the top. That is why I acquired data from you and two other sources and verified the data before accepting it. With this new data many non Nihilum were put in or near the top.

The system I settled on was simplified. I originally had a much more complex system planned. The first time you kill someone you get 3 points. Unless someone very recently killed that person then you might get 0 points. The second time and on you get 2 points for killing that person. Unless you kill them within a very short time frame and then you get 1 point. If you or anyone kill that person within a very small time frame they get 0 points.

The points someone gains off killing you is the same amount YOU lost in points. So if someone gets 3 points from killing you then you lose 3 points.

The guild leader board is simply a total of all kills/loses for that guild summed into points. The reason that Force is so low is because they have a ton of deaths and not nearly enough kills to cover their deaths.

Not sure how any guild with 1000 deaths and only 480 kills would expect to rank high.
