Server's stats

[Snipe]

I am curious to know why you think 3 players is too low. The only reason I didn't go with 1 player is to avoid cheating.

Well, honestly, I think a good player/regular could set a record far too easy with that kind of minimum amount of players. My experience with racing with 3 people is that I win a lot easier (if not all the time, depending of the skill of my fellow racers). I see a chance that records could be easily broken then. And 1 (lol) is obviously no limit at all. 6 players would be fine in my opinion, as I stated earlier.

[...] but you are talking about more points
if there are more players and vice versa. But can U give more details how many
points for how many players? 

I think we first have to decide what we want (admins or all the players), brainstorm some to come with ideas and opinions. Then maybe we can think of a fair pointscale for that system.

Everytime someone earns the first place, MCvarial will get -10 points
A new record: MCvarial -20 points

Everytime someone earns the first place, I get 10 points and elbrujo loses 10 point...

No. But seriously, no I cannot. Not at this time. Would have to put a good deal of thought into figuring out the best scoring system.

It's a given that it will get easier to beat the current records if the limit is lowered, and thus many of the long-standing records will be broken if the limit is lowered. It won't, however, be any easier to beat records once the records have stabilized after the lowering. The only difference is that records will overall be better and closer to the optimum, and that we will see fewer records set when the server is peaking.

[elbrujo]

a classification with the number of records of each player will be interesting too.

He's trying to say that a number of records should be called something. For instance, Brujo has 10 records. That means he's falling in the category of 5-20 records, which will be called the class "Veteran" or something. I think though that doesn't solve the problem of stats/records anyway.

hop hop hop snipe i've got 64 records!


about the points, & on my experience on gtaIV, the difference have to be high between a 3ppl win & a 25 ppl win. perhaps 30points for a 3ppl win & 250 for a 25 ppl win? -> one player=10 points.


about the player record's classification, it will be that :
1. el brujo  64 rec
2. snipe 25 rec
3 pro2 24 rec
4 mcvarial -10 rec( pay a beer)
.....
but it's not a proposition to solve our problem, just an add-on!

[pro2c]

cool, a ladder with the number of records per person would be great!

[MCvarial]

I refuse to pay a beer

Stats and records are now available for 7 players and up.

hi guys and razo,i liked your idea,and is the better than i thoguht.now the records are avaible for 7 players.is a good nunber but do you have plans for put it for 3 players yet?
i think records show the skills of a player,not points.stats are valid too,but the most thing i like to do in mta is beat a record .
i remember my first record time.was triumwiwam.and then pizza-beta,and now i have 12 records .i am playing better but some of records you really have to be luck to beat them.3 players is very good,but if you put 5 players i dont mean.
ty for the attention of my topic,you admins are really doing a nice work.
thnks and keep on making this server better
now,a last question:what are you meaning with i ''dying server''?

[Rao]

i dont want annoying you admins,but is not the time to put 4 or 5 players?today i played,and the server was empty for the most time.

[raz0]

I will try and hear the other admins again. Originally I wanted a 3 player limit, but the other admins wanted the limit higher, thus the 7 player limit.

[pro2c]

yeah, the player number is lower and lower

[Rao]

i did a new poll.and i vote for 3 players now.so,have you decided now?

[elof]

I've noticed the stats doing some funny things lately,
I played "Infurnus GT 500", My time was 02:17:68 and it said i was 2mins 36secs faster than the record
The same sort of thing on other maps too,
I am playing on my old pc, but it cant be that surely.

[Rao]

lol,elof this happened to me too but other day.
