Ranking Tracker / Graph

The idea is simply that over a certain period of time you would get to look at a graph of your rankings changes.

Specifics:
  • Whatever time period would be best for coding, a couple weeks, months or even a year or more.
  • Ability to track streaks(winning and losing)
  • Possible for all players to view, or keep private, like online status option
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
This would be for statistical purposes, how one player is doing today compared to a time in the past. This could also become a factor in choosing oppoents in games. I wouldn't complicate this with going backwards to include all changes in the past, just going forward. I could also see it eliminating the "highest ranking" sig lines, which I find annoying for the most part... :P
Mainly its stats that would be the addition. Most sports have stats about a ton of different things, and it's always interesting to look at how one player is doing vs, another, and it should work here too.

I really like this idea it would be great for newer members, but once people achieve a solid rank it will do less but it could help also get a few more people to become premium as they want to see their graph increase quicker.

Cool, approval from a mod!

There is a ton of different way you can go, different things that be tracked statisitcally, so it'd really be about what people want tracked, and what can be coded, and whether they jive.

I like the suggestion. I think the best way to update a person's rank is whenever a point change appears in a game log. Since BOB can access these lines, it should not be that terribly difficult for lack to code.

Also when there's a rank tracker maybe have a tracker for average net gain per setting of game, so maybe on classic map i have a +194 net gain. And on Doodle Earth I have -339. And you can filter to find out what it is for Doodle, Sequential, Flat, Standard. Etc.

I think this idea would be great to implement. It can help better determine an opponents skill.

Might be possible to extend Map Rank to do this. Map Rank could record the results on demand, timestamp them, compare and present results.
