A More Specific Attendance Stat

[Tupence]

Concise description:

• On member profiles, increase the accurary of their Attendance Statistic

Specifics/Details:

• Increase the accuracy to 1 decimal place

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• This would be useful for Tournament Organisers; 97.1% is very different to 97.9%, or if the current stats are rounded to the nearest integer, 97.5% is very different to 98.4%.
• People may like to know more specifically what their attendance rating is. My example:

For a long time I was at 98%. Then I didn't miss a turn for at least 6 months, and it stayed at 98%; I wanted to get it up to 99%. Then I missed quite a lot of turns because I moved house and didn't have an internet connection for a while. My attendance still remained at 98%.

I support this.

I'd also support this, I'm at 100% but a while back I was at 99%, so obviously I'm not exactly at 100%.

[Tupence]

Does anyone else support this?

[patrickaa317]

I support it though there are more beneficial things that I think should be done first.

[Dukasaur]

I agree with the proposal, although like patrick I think there are more burning issues.

I don't know anything about coding etc, but I assume that this would be a quick change to make?

Adding one digit to the display of the attendance percentage would take about two minutes.

I definitely support this! Would benefit a lot, with only a little bit of effort from the webmaster

Let's get it done then!

I agree completely! And if it's such a quick fix (basically the same thing as in excel) it should be implemented!

Well the whole point of the attendance stat is that it's not supposed to fluctuate a lot because of day-to-day issues. It is supposed to be an indicator of how likely you are to miss turns as a long-term phenomenon, not how likely you are to miss turns in the third week of August 2011, say. That is why another decimal of accuracy is unneeded for that purpose. Holistically, there is not much of a difference between a 96% and 97% player, regardless of how many tournaments choose a certain cutoff.

Additionally, it seems like you're saying we should add the decimal place so that you can know how far away you are from the next integer, but I have a feeling that if this is implemented, your nearest integer score will become unimportant and people will just start referring to something with one decimal place as a cutoff.

Well, it depends on whether blake or lack is doing it...

This is true, the turtle's time is most often spent on larger and more complex things.
