Title: Name that player!
Post by: Lusche on December 21, 2011, 09:16:54 AM
A little quiz - I present to you six longtime AH players (all of them still playing) and their top 20 "kills in" (deaths in are given too).
Some of them aren't that hard to figure out for anyone being around here for a long time ;)
I recommend you try your luck without looking up the actual numbers of your 'suspects'.

(I hope it can be read; if too small I will break it up into single pictures)


Oh, and of course you can win... nothing  :P

SHawk, 999000 and Ghi came to mind for the C Hog, B17 and IL2 guys

D = dr7

This would be my guess, no idea on C or F though.

C is probably Bruv as Spit isn't listed.

i thought that at first tinman because of the excellent K/D,  but I think it is the snail himself because of the tiger and TA kills

I'd be very surprised if I had more than 100 in a TA152.

Lusche might be Player C.

Bruv can't be C, bruv has alot more 51 kills then that...

Left to right, top to bottom:

SHawk, GHI, ?, Dr7, 999000, ?
Title: Re: Name that player!
Post by: Lusche on December 21, 2011, 04:55:41 PM
I knew it was easy ... for the most part:
A=Shawk, B=GHI, D=Dr7 and E= 999000. While browsing the numbers I noticed how easily identifiable some players where just by their stats (others are by their combination of specific ride&'signature move', other again by the way they moan and whine day in, day out).
These four are just some examples, I could have chosen some more.

With player C and F the things are a bit different.

C has apparently not one single main ride standing out from the rest - less than 10% of his kills in his #1. "Bruv119" was actually a very good guess, as his "kills in" profile looks almost identically to player C:
(http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/1795/bruvd.jpg)
Both are apparently quite versatile players not depending on a single plane/gv. Note the very high total kill numbers in planes/vehicles apart from their top 20 ones. There is just one big difference: One has FPH status, the other not  :D

Player F I thought to be the most difficult one, and it seems I was right. He's playing this game with no notably break for about 10 years now, with a very impressive number of kills in all modes (the tour average for all late war arena players is ~100). But despite having such a very rare record (you can probably count number of active players with a similar history of activity with the fingers of your two hand) he maintains a very low profile. I give ya another hint: He's a Knight, and to my knowledge has ever been...

Post by: Tupac on December 21, 2011, 06:21:28 PM
player F is probably pacerr
Title: Re: Name that player!
Post by: Hopper on December 21, 2011, 07:43:23 PM
not stampf I don't think too many k4 kills.  Frodo is my next guess for F.
Title: Re: Name that player!
Post by: 321BAR on December 21, 2011, 08:31:07 PM
player F is probably pacerr
Pacerr's a lala fanatic and iirc he doesnt play as of now. No lala in F's categories

These charts are flawed :old:

They do not account for the best looking in game and thus do not account for everyone  :old:

But they do!  Mulletman at #1  :banana:


-------------------------


Player C was guess correctly a few times, but F's true identity has not been mentioned so far. But here are all identities at a glance:

To be fair, C was the only player with different pilot ID's


By the way, Chris' stats are just reinforcing my wish for a more capable German bomber for MA use than the Ju 88A-4  :old:

How are you mining the data?

Most of that data in this topic was collected way back with Spatulas neat pilot stats application. For the advanced stats stuff I wrote a few small tools in Python (which I started to 'learn' last year exclusively because of AH)

Cool.  I wondered if you were somehow querying the database directly.

I'm sure it's a fun project for you. :)

Precisely the language I was going to use (from that other thread). :)  If you have any questions or ideas you want some tips on implementing feel free to PM me.

I wish I got here sooner. As I scrolled the data I started chiming names Shawk, dunno, Snail, DeeArr, 9s&zeros, dunno. The only one I was sure of was Snailman (So greedy with the 163 kills, lol). Should have known GHI, would never have guessed Chris3. This was fun.
Hey can you tell me who has the best k/d r vs. P51d lifetime, okay past 12 tours? Just curious, one day I hope to get to 1 to 1, the 51d has always been my #1 for kills of and killed by and nearly an invariable fact for me.
