Playing & Trading Strategy

I have had an epiphany...I will recalculate based on joining value, not glitch %. That's going to change a few outcomes.

What I realized was that the % gains of a player are based on a particular value.  If a player glitches with 2 mil, every 2 mil is 100%, even if at 200 mil, I remove whatever glitch % there might be.  Every 2 mil thereafter will still be another 100%.  The only way to accurately determine the % gain of a glitched player is to record the joining port value, not the % gain and calculate the % gain manually.  

I can do this.  I will go over all the data for this month again and recalculate all winning totals.  Thanks for discussing with me, as it put me back to the drawing board, thinking the process through again.

so, yeah, 75 % of 200 mil is 150 mil, whereas 150 mil on a 400 mil port is not 75%... Lovely.

Grads were previously removed and leagues reset. Leagues are "screened" again, now that the pending list is fixed. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 04, 21:50

I think you'll find that I outscored Strider throughout the month in the 200-400 million port but whatever. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Sep 05, 00:32

Strider was deducted 73.40% for the joining glitch. 126.09-73.40=52.69. You scored 35.82%. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 05, 00:43

Between August 1 and the present Strider907 has increased his port by 32.83%... hyperzeitgeist Sep 05, 00:59

My "math" is a screen print of every league. I checked every player when they joined to note the size of the glitch, if any.. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 05, 01:14

I'm not criicizing your 'process'. I think you do an amazing job. Just pointing out that the glitch has thrown... hyperzeitgeist Sep 05, 01:25

I appreciate that, but I am not saying you are wrong...i am saying that there is little else i can do...unless someone has an idea. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 05, 01:35

Hey Rocket, it looks like you've found a solution that works for you but, just in case, what I do in this situation is just not include... Willroast Sep 05, 14:51

Glad to be of assistance :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist Sep 05, 10:22

You really were. I have redone all the data and reconfirmed with the other leagues you mentioned and the math works exactly. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 05, 11:18

Sometimes a complaint is just a valid observation in disguise :) {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 05, 11:40
