For those who haven't heard me mention it in #winbolo, here is a link to a game log/analyzer I've been toying with for the last couple of months.

My logs start Nov 4... Maybe with Elvis' help I can get more logs. For those not appearing, you'll have to register/use wbn for your names to show up.

Congrats, it's looking good Fermat.
I thought that you had done something with the power rating stuff I sent you?
I have played with various formulas for "rating" players based on their statistics, but I haven't found any that I'm completely happy with, though I'll be happy to throw in anything that people would like to see. I just haven't opened it up yet to feedback until now. Adding a column that is simply a weighted sum of other columns (as I believe your power rating was) is a snap. Some statistics however I don't think are too meaningful... Tank kills, for example, doesn't neccessarily have anything to do with how good you are, and base takes can be misleading too as sometimes players will keep exchanging bases.
My most ambitious attempt is the following:
( (np1 + 2*pp1) + 1.5*(np2 + 2*pp2) + 2*(np3 + 2*pp3) ) / minutes
Where np1 is "neutral pb's in 1x1's", pp2 is "player pb's in 2x2's", etc. It sort of measures pb's/minute, but weights player pills higher, and pills taken in 2x2's and 3x3's higher.
After some recent changes were made to the database, I decided to take the above out, though I may play with it a little later.
Remember also that the only real statistics I have to work with are the ones reported in the wbn logs.

I've been asked this a couple of times and I admit it is hard to find... To see a players complete game history (official tourny games or otherwise), first go to that players playerinfo page either by clicking on the player's name or clicking "find player" at the top. The player info page then has a link at the bottom to display that players complete game history.
Improved greatly on the log view... Thanks fi for the suggestions. For official games, now shows #pills/#bases for each team after each event. There is also a link to hide unimportant events.
Also FYI... People didn't seem to realize you can click on the column headers to sort the columns on the "All Players" page:

Also, you can click on any players name to view their playerinfo page.

I think players ratings should be estimated using the following:
A = I.J.K /2
where I is the Lagrangian of the co-efficient of pill taking success (from
Hilbert and Moore, 1981, SIAM Appl.Maths) using an infinite number of
degrees of freedom (or 3, whichever is simpler to compute).
Trivially, J is set to 1 for open games and 42 otherwise (see Debruski,
Corliss and Corliss for the reasons) and
K is the Hamiltonian of the Hilbert vector of base properties.
I can do this in a few hours on a bench top steam babbage in my kitchen
so I think it is pretty practical for general ranking purposes.
