I just caught up on all these Super Challenge threads, so I missed my chance to participate in the debate (probably for the best), but I just wanted to thank Surrealix for a great compromise on the table sorting!
It moved me way down in the list, but that's because I've only watched movies so far, and I totally respect that people who have been reading have accomplished more than me. This just gives my competitive nature more motivation to move up the list. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Not nagging, but did you miss this post? Or are you unsure yourself what to do about these?
Also, is the percentage affected by the books/movies distribution? Like, is there a difference between completing 4% as 8 movies, 4 books/4 movies or 8 books in your best language? I'm not complaining, just trying to understand the logic of this (where 7/1 at the bottom is just my best language, my totals being 20+/5). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by percentage? There's no percentage measured anywhere by the bot any more, for the same reason I don't show the books-per-week calculation - I simply don't know the goal to measure a percentage of.
What column are you sorting by to get this? It might be a bug. When I click 'participant', I get this. If I sort by stars, your entries are scattered down the list, but the one with 7/1 is at the top, followed by 3/1, 2/1 etc. Edited by surrealix on 14 May 2014 at 2:48am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

I mean percentage of the best language completed. You said this was implemented. (or what exactly does your reply to Jeffers mean? I quoted it)
That's various people's entries, mine are indeed the way you screencapped them. I just don't understand why someone with 3 books and 4 movies is ahead of me, or someone with 6 books and 0 movies for that matter. I'm not criticizing the ranking, just trying to understand it.

Ah okay, I understand what you're asking now. The number of books and films is inversely weighted by how popular each category is. If more people watch films they have less of an effect on the ranking than books, and vice versa. The position in the list is only based on your highest ranking language. At the moment far more films have been watched than books read. This is why you see people with books ahead of you in the rankings. If you want to work it out by hand, the formulas are (roughly): Participant Ranking = MAX( {EntryPagesRead / TotalPagesRead + EntryMinutesWatched / TotalMinutesWatched} from all Participant Entries ) Star Ranking = MIN( FLOOR(EntryPagesRead / (50 * 25)) + FLOOR(EntryMinutes Watched ; / (90 * 25)) ) IF EQUAL THEN USING FLOOR( EntryPagesRead / (50 * 25)) + FLOOR( EntryMinutesWatched / (90 * 25)) IF EQUAL THEN USING (EntryPagesRead / (50 * 25) + EntryMinutesWatched / (90 * 25))
Yes, this. Edited by surrealix on 14 May 2014 at 3:59am 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

I think the way it's set up, the books are weighted more heavily than the movies (at the moment) - but this is because people have logged a lot more movies than books. If there were an equal number of movies and books logged, they would be weighted equally. EDIT: Yea, what he said. :D Edited by Kerrie on 14 May 2014 at 3:47am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

I think it has to do with books being weighted more heavily than movies. The other thing
I've noticed is it looks like the fewer languages your stuff is spread across, if they are the same amount of books and films, the higher you are on the list? Edit: what they said :P Edited by hjordis on 14 May 2014 at 3:48am 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Surrealix, I don't know programming so maybe this is obvious to others, but the participant ranking (the code you have here) - is that based only on the most active language?
