http://kdice.com/leaderboardAll?page=5

all the info is there for the entire leaderboard but it's just a whole lot of work to copy it and extract the data manually.

A script could easily do it though, but you would have to "record" the leaderboard right before the end of the month for it to be accurate.

I will ask Ryan if he there's an easy way to backup the entire leaderboard during the maintenance cycle. There's a lot of (nerd) fun potential in having that database

Think she meant after the month though? not sure if i am useless but from last month i can only get archives for top 100

Yeah, what Cameron said. There's no way for anyone to pull more than the top 100 for any previous month.

I know and I probably didn't phrase it clear enough.

What I tried to say is that you could get all the info of a month if you really wanted to but you would have to grab the info from the site right before the end of the month. I know that the info disappears afterwards, except for the top100.

the disadvantages now are that you basically need a script to copy each page of 25 players and if you don't do it right before the end of the month, you won't have the info of the last games (although you could argue that the impact of that would be minimal for the players below top 100 if you do it in the last hour)

The other problem is that the data then is easily manipulable- you'd have to really trust skrum to not change any of the numbers because there's no way to check any of them past month end save the top 100.

agreed

The good news is that Ryan responded that it would be doable to keep the entire file somewhere but just be aware that it's not on the top of the todo list

"[Y]ou'd have to really trust skrum to not change any of the numbers because there's no way to check any of them past month end"

I understand the principle, but why'd skrum manipulate the data? Isn't he a reliable old skool member of the community, entrusted with mod powers?

He could do a lot more evil as a mod (e.g. making up reasons to ban innocent people) than simply changing a few numbers (that are only interesting for the nerdest members of the community).

The nerdiest members of the community certainly care about the integrity of their data, though. :)

i Agree chloe but there are no actual pirzes, thats whay makes me not care. If someone was winning someting sure. If someone were to do this out of the goodness og their own heart/ own nerdy fun there is just seriously no point to not use accurate data. Main concern is (i know this is nowhere near top od to-do list jurgz and it shouldnt be.) Is where do you stop. You want skrum to check all 1000-2000 contenders. Id say maybe top 200 but then 201 gets sad.n For simplicity and low work load for a volunteer in skrum iod say top 100 but maybe some way to expand the MOST KILLS list and incorporate the top 20 of that list into the results if they are not already a top 100.

Fun fact I ran a couple stats for this site monthly for years- they're no longer relevant because you can now sit a table with less than 7 people (same reason the TAPL/TAZD is no longer relevant/accurate). Point is, I'm fully aware of how tedious it is to run stats beyond the top 100. Top 100 is just a single copy paste into a template skrum likely built ages ago (or just a paste over last month's data in the same spreadsheet). With the way data is currently presented, I'd never ask anyone to do anything past the top 100 (except PERHAPS checking the "deadliest this month" stat on the last day of the month and including those five people).

Ideally, it would be that much work to run the stats for all the month's competitors- those stats could then be linked to via google docs so anyone could see their placement, since it wouldn't make sense to publish them all in the forum.

And sure, there's no reason for skrum to manipulate the data. But it's good practice to have data that can be replicated- I used to run the stats he ran just in case of typos etc and caught errors a couple times. There weren't intentional manipulations, but just errors. That happens.

There WERE once actual prizes, and I hope Ryan considers instating actual prizes for measures beyond score. Pursey would run competitions- most kills this month, etc- where the reward would be membership and sometimes jurgen would give out contributor badges for topping a certain list.
