His official ETF2L PR admin keyboard, as supplied by Sonny Black, only has the keys ctrl, c and v on it

Thanks for the heads up, this seems to have been a heisenbug as it started working when I looked at it. It's correcting itself now, should be up to date relatively soon but there's quite a lot to process so expect some wild variations in the immediate future. Probably be a few hours to process everything that's missing

Addressed the heals/damage per minute problem a bit. Things may still appear a little odd if a player's sample size is small as they may have been in a particularly aggressive of passive handful of lobbies that distort things.

Also about 100 people have updated their name since the ability to change it went live.

UPDATE:
You can now login via steam and update your name! It’s a bit of a rush job but it should help anyone who’s not happy with what they’re currently called on the site. There will probably be a bit of lag between the update and your name changing in the ranking lists. It seems to be working for people but if you get any problems let me know.

Xalox has just popped up into 2nd place in the Demoman ranking with a relatively modest DPM and KD. The reason he wasn't there before is that he's only just got the qualifying number of logs to have a trustworthy rank.

The quantity of participation will probably be a problem for NA players, but only because they may not get enough entries on logs.tf to get a rank.

Is it possible to put arbitrary HTML or load a specific url into an htmlcontainer in a hud?

No, time participated is always recorded regardless of extended stats plugins.

This is a matter of opinion, of course I wont be going into any detail of how these specifics work.

This guy gets it. Internet points people!

Not beyond forcing inactivity

It does, but it doesn't skew the ratings, time participating is taken into account.

Yes but this isn't a problem, the only people the rating compares you against are the other players in that log.

Sorry for not making this clearer, it's obviously a design challenge for me to meet, but I'll state it as clearly as I can. If you are in a game/log with no damage the only people that affects you against are the other people in the same game/log who also have no damage. It has no effect on comparing you with the wider group. Having no damage in a log does not put you at a disadvantage against the wider field.

Yeah, also "official" thread --------> this way

That position will fade away over the coming weeks but I thought I'd let the old masters bathe in some glory before letting the new kids take over.

I've just realised that I haven't mentioned anywhere that this is an Elo system, I know this is important to some people and may clear up some confusion.

No problem at all, it's in beta for a reason :)

The issue Mustard Overlord is speculating about wouldn't manifest itself entirely in the way he suggests, but if there are areas between NA and EU stats that I measure which aren't available with the same consistency then it would be more likely to produce an imbalance between classes rather than an overall detriment to the continent as a whole.

No, the rating isn't based on an accumulation of stats, it's a moving target most strongly influenced by your recent performances, who those performances were against and specific metrics in those games that I've identified as being of relevance to player skill (i.e. winning). You could pile up impressive stats but if they're exclusively against scrubs don't expect to hit a top rating.

If there's no damage in a particular log, then damage isn't a factor in that log. Is damage a factor in any ranking decisions from any log? Maybe. Would missing damage skew ranks? Maybe, but there's only so much I can do about that.

The DPM/damage you see in the summary is your total damage/your total time on that class. I would need to identify and filter out 0 damage logs from that total time. Database performance is an issue when you're dealing with million of rows of data, so at the moment I don't. But it doesn't affect rankings.
