Anonymous Large Social Game ELOs

Hey all! Large Social Game ELOs have existed for a while, but now that we have this section, it makes sense to keep them in their own thread.

ELOs are a predictive measure of how far someone will go in a game, using past information on that player's performance. It is by no means a measurement of how good a player is, but rather how
consistent
they can make a fairly deep run into the game. Every new player is given a base value of 1200 for their first game. After every anonymous large social, everyone's scores are updated using this calculator. First-time players are given a k-value of 25, while all other players are given a k-value of 15.

A player who has played 2 or more games and most recently played within the past 3 games is marked as "Active". A player who has only played 1 game and that game was within the past 3 games is marked as "Provisional". Finally, a player who hasn't played in over 3 games is marked as "Inactive".

Yeah, that would make sense, the 3-game period was adopted when literally no games ran concurrently. I'm going to try bumping it up to 5.

I don't mind it - moderating requires a completely different set of skills from playing, so it would be weird to put them together.

Also it's probably not just a temporary break anymore, at least as far as Survivor goes

You were lowered a lot by including games of the past year in the active list!

You're right zor, it's calculated as (in the case of ned's) 26 1v1 games against everyone else in the game. I think it does skew too heavily towards recent performance, although I could make it more stable by lowering the k-values used for everyone. It's nice to have a dynamic ranking system, but obviously none of them will be anywhere near perfect in something that's so subjective like Survivor and other large social games.

What are everyone's thoughts on the total prize pool increasing as the playercount increases, with the proportions of payouts the same except each new last place position added gets 2500?

In a 16-player game, there's an average of $92,875 given out per player, so for 17 players the total prize pool increases by 92875, etc.

I haven't factored in non-anons or Big Brother yet, which I will eventually, but I made a table of everyone's winnings here:

In post 127, zoraster wrote:Oh wait a second, CC. You adjusted your total prize pool not by +2500 per person but by the percent increase over 16?

I'm getting different numbers than 92875 using your table for:
Seafoam Islands
Arkham Asylum
Conclave
NAH
EtU
Arkham 2
PSV
2016
LoL
Nexus
On the ones you mentioned, the total isn't exact because multiple players tied, I believe

This also gives more weight to someone winning in a 24-person game than someone winning an 18-person game, for example

In post 150, zoraster wrote:Like I'm not suggesting not to give an outsized portion to the winner. But I am saying that 67% of the prize pool being the top prize makes sense for a game show but doesn't really make sense when we have people who are repeat players. Reduce it down to 45% and it's still SUPER important to win vs. come in second.
I'll try calculating new totals tomorrow with the poker-style handouts and see how much that changes things :)

We need an infinite number of ways to jerk each other off

I added a new tab called "PokerMoney" with more even money distributions. I'm not the biggest fan since it puts xofelf considerably ahead of Snakes despite the fact that Snakes has far more wins, but if anyone wants to see what that ranking looks like, it's there!
