    Appreciate the effort you are making Starfinder. Hope they are giving you something for all your effort. I second Moonbiters request to enhance the display with the number of globals or the the gap between each place.

    The images Cyrus provided to me for making the scoreboards does not have a place for "points".
    It does make sense from their side not to include such a field, since this might discourage you to hunt the mobs if you can see you are far behind. I dont know "I just work here". :)

    Regarding the part about them giving me something - They are part of the planet partner agreement, which means they are paying me a little (less than you would think) if you are running the ET client on Arkadia. So, events like this should get more people on Arkadia and hopefully they will use the ET client - as ET keeps track of the scores. Thus, I should be getting a little more than I have been lately.

    Btw.. All the scoreboards have been made now:
    http://www.entropiatracker.com/planetEvents/Category_1.png
    http://www.entropiatracker.com/planetEvents/Category_2.png
    http://www.entropiatracker.com/planetEvents/Category_3.png
    http://www.entropiatracker.com/planetEvents/Category_4.png
    http://www.entropiatracker.com/planetEvents/Category_5.png
    http://www.entropiatracker.com/planetEvents/Category_6.png

    I will add the "updating of the scoreboards" to the cronjob I have running on ET.
    They will update every 4 hours - I think it is.


    Edit:
    Regarding the special rules Cyrus posted, where if you win event 6 you can not win any lower level events. The scoreboard has been made so that if you win an event - you are excluded from the algorithm to find the winners in the lower events. This means that if you are winning event 5, and would take 3rd place in event 4 - you are not even listed in event 4.

    However, if you are placed 3rd in event 5 but winning event 4, you are still listed as 3rd place in event 5 since this event is of a higher level than event 4 - and you are also still listed as winner of event 4. The point being that the system always wants you to "win" the highest possible event, so its not excluding you from events thats higher than the one you are currently winning...

    Does that make sense?

    Slight problem here:
    I can't access the e-mail address that I originally signed up to ET with and I can't make another account with the same avatar name - how can we resolve this?

    Starfinder, just to check I understand you:

    You say that if you're winning event 5, and coming 3rd in event 4, you're excluded from the algorithm to find the winners in event 4 and below.

    If you drop out of the running for event 5, do you suddenly appear in event 4?

    In other words - is the exclusion a live thing that changes as your positioning changes, or are you eliminated from event 4 permanently, once you've gotten to the top of event 5?

    Probably a stupid question. Just checking :)

    Very well done to get this all working at short notice. I can't speak highly enough of what you're doing for our community.

    ***

    EDIT: For anyone who isn't sure, the Leaderboards for this comp can be found at the forum's homepage (ie when you click "Home" at the top of the page) here.

    Im at arkadia now.. - hunting Kiana. 14309 10437 .. come see me :D

    You are exluded from the query to the database meaning that IF you would be winning category 4, even tho you are winning category 5. Then you are not listed in category 4.


    Yes.
    If you all of a sudden are taking 4th place, then you would be listed in the lower categories again. :)

    Isn't ANYONE hunting in category 1????
    I can't believe its THAT hard...

    I've never seen so many globals in chat though :) it makes me happy

    And you should check entropiatracker website for the stats on 8 coins and santuary cove LA's. They have an incredible influx of activity :) i wonder if it will stay as high...

    I like those odds! :D let me go and exterminate a few & see what I get shall we? :) I'll pop over from NI after I've done the few limited missions there & migrate to ARK for a while. I'll try either category 1 or 2 due to the Oro challenge. Gl everyone looks like a fun event & I'm missing out!! :( for now.

    But you will be listed as the highest loot will you, because one person can win more then one of those? It might be kinda weird to be listed as the top loot, without being listen in the top 10 for lets say category 1 wheer I do not expect to many globals.

    I'm not taking part in this anymore so I'll tell all....south of Taipan Digsite (if thats the name I don't remember it exactly) - Domi>Stalkers... west of the Halix are Oro Domi>Stalkers. Use an el cheapo LR32/A103 combo or equivalient to blast through them quickly. I did about 500 of each before giving up... 6 weeks of killing the same old mobs and I'd go mad (and broke)

    Category 1 mobs have about the same stats as male snable meaning they will be incredibly hard to global from.. my advice is find the staalker / prowler and camp them... could get lucky...

    Other note the Kiana no1 is mine you can have the fap tho Star :)
