Golix and 'Most Dropped Games' statistic at opengames.asp

Golix and 'Most Dropped Games' statistic at opengames.asp

Since Golix uses the table found here http://demigodthegame.com/opengames.asp to accuse me of being a leaver and even host some games with titles like "Don't join OMG-IN1 the leaver", etc., I'd like to say a couple of words about how the table should be read. The only significant column is the last one ('Drop Rate'), while the absolute number of dropped games means little. Why is that?

Consider this example. There is player X, that had played 1000 games, of which he dropped out of 100. That's 100 total drops, 10% drop rate. On the other hand, there is player Y, that has 100 games overall, of which he dropped out of 99. That's 99 total drops, 99% drop rate. Absurdly, player X will be placed higher in the table than player Y.

This example is not a completely hypothetical one. As of 29/01/12, these are the stats for me and Golix:

Player Total Drops Total Games Drop Rate
OMG-IN1 159 500 31%

vs

Golix_      50             121              41%       

 

I trust any reasonable person can draw his/her own conclusions from the comparison.

Well, this thread has officially contributed enough to Demigod high society.  Closing this one down.
