Check the time stamps

Or if you're really really lazy:

1 year(s) [Turn in-progress] (nudge)

Yep, I remember that one. Victor was pretty active up until that point, he's one that I went back and forth with in Medal count too, which at the time drove me to play more games :p

[Hugh]

TheVictor was a great player.

[IRoll11s]

I remember TheVictor, he was one of the ones I checked when I was adding the Normalized Wins to my script (G-rating). He has a 2.22.

Wonder what his H-rating is.

[CiscoKid]

So TheVictor states Steven has retired?
Does anyone have the cell number of his kids?

I used to think Andernut and Kobra Kai were the gold standard of high winning percentages... not so
H-Ratings of the legends:

Kobra Kai 76.4%
Andernut 78.6%
TheVictor 79.8%

What is an H rating?

My ratings have dropped steadily since I started joining tons of games my rl friends are hosting where they all think it's fun to take me down a few notches as the game begins.

What is an H rating?

From http://www.wargear.net/help/display/Rankings

H Rating:

H rating is a statistic that expresses your win percentage with respect to the expected norm. Obviously, the larger the number of opponents you face in a game, the lower your probability of winning. The H rating takes this into account by normalizing or “Gamesize Adjusting” those larger games so that a 50% H rating means you are winning 1/2 of your 2-player games, 1/3 of your 3-player games, 1/4 of your 4-player games and so on. It is calculated as follows:

{Sum(W*O)}/{Sum(L+(W*O))}*100 where:
W = Number of wins in that category of #-player games.
L = Number of losses in that category of #-player games.
O = Number of opponents that you would play if you played one game in that category.

For example:
If you have won 2/6 of your 3-player games and 1/5 of your 5-player games (so you have played 11 Games total)
Numerator = {(W)2 * (O)2} + {(W)1 * (O)4} = 4 + 4 = 8
Denominator ={ (L)4 +((W)2 * (O)2))} + { (L)4 +((W)1 * (O)4))} = 8 + 8 = 16
So we have (8/16)*100 for an H rating of 50%!

A player's H rating score will be used as a tie breaker when more than one player has the same Ranking score.

And 998 wins for KK, so close to 1k!

[Thingol]

I think if you're posting top win %s out there, you have to include HighRoller - 64% overall win percentage, including a whopping 84% in 2-player games (which I intend to put a dint in shortly).

[Andernut]

Man I want an edit button for posts.

HighRoller
Win percentage for 2 player games : 84% [146/174 games]
Win percentage for 3 player games : 39% [9/23 games]
Win percentage for 4 player games : 58% [57/99 games]
Win percentage for 5 player games : 61% [20/33 games]
Win percentage for 6 player games : 48% [39/82 games]
Win percentage for 7 player games : 39% [7/18 games]
Win percentage for 8 player games : [38%] (< 16 games) [5/13 games]
Win percentage for 9 player games : [50%] (< 18 games) [1/2 games]
Win percentage for 10 player games : [75%] (< 20 games) [3/4 games]
Win percentage for 16 player games : [0%] (< 32 games) [0/2 games]
Overall win percentage : 64% [287/450 games]

[Andernut]

I wish I could see how my win percentages changed over time though, they were a heck of a lot higher earlier in my warfish playing.

[Hugh]

HighRoller does indeed have the highest H-Rating of these players:

Kobra Kai 76.4%
Andernut 78.6%
TheVictor 79.8%
HighRoller 81.2%

Win percentage does go down over time if you seek better opposition, or if they seek you! Or maybe you were better out of the gate...

[HighRoller]

I will be the first to say I haven't earned my way into that list of greats just yet. So much is based on game selection. My winning percentages have increased dramatically as I've focused on BAO games, and other boards that are much more win-able. I've seen my 6-man win % shoot up as I played more Atlantis & Koprulu games, and then come back down as I venture into the Mall.

However, the real theme here Andernut is that truly great players have really crappy 3-man win percentages.
