It has been a while since I posted any news.
The site is functioning just fine, although we had a glitch yesterday when we tried to upload too much data :-).
You should now be able to search for just about any player in the Player search page. Here's an example searching for me across all the sectors.
GamerProgres* Across all sectors
There is some new functionality that you might like - check it out. A statistical comparison between the top 50/top 100 players alliances across all the sectors.

We have figured out how to get more detail on any single player, the problem is that it is a massive download if we do too many players. We are trying to figure out how to surface this information, so hold on to your hats for a bit.
Hope you like the improvements.

Game statistics updated. I delayed till this morning so that we would have a snapshot close to the "5 hour shutdown". I just seemed like a good idea
Anyway, we've found another bug - this one affect my account and anyone else who is in an alliance with a long name or has a long player name
I was going to post a message about my game stats since I attempted to get a base in every sector, but with the above bug, my stats are all smooshed!
We're still trying to re-engineer the API to get better data, particularly about tournaments. I did put in a request for access to the API, but apparently that request went into a black hole somewhere. Maybe I'll have better luck with RockYou :-? , maybe, but i doubt it. I'll be surprised if I still get to pull down the data I am pulling down now once RockYou takes over.

P.S. Thanks to all the leaders who responded positively to my request to take and keep a base. Thumbs down to all the idiots who blast me off the map (I'm talking all you 500K+ players attacking a level < 100 player). I did get one base up to about 32K in the last two weeks.

May I have everyone's attention please, especially Alliance Leaders in all Sectors:
We have been experimenting with getting additional raw data to perform additional statistics. In particular, we are trying to collect more information about the "MAP", battles, and tournaments.
To this end, we have created an alliance in every sector called "GamerProgress". This alliance has only one member - me! I will NOT accept anyone else into this alliance. This alliance is peaceful and will not attack anyone.
I have no intention of attacking anybody. I have no intention of playing in the map, or in tournaments.
I would appreciate it if when I do have a base in a sector (so far all I have been doing is to take an empty base when other alliances have decided to ghost the map) that you allow this base to continue and do not attack it and wipe it off the map.
The coordinates of this base are {154,108}. PLEASE DO NOT ATTACK ME!
Alliance Leaders => you can expect me to request that you allow me to take one base for this research. I will typically ask one of the stronger alliances in each sector so that I have some small assurance that this one base is not a casualty of some petty war in the sector.
One of the experiments that we are running is to see how high (levels and force) we can get one of our bases. This base is in the "Joehnk Galaxy". The reason for this is to show everyone that you can level up incredibly high and fast with a little luck. By logging into this sector, we won 1000 Incineraptors. This allowed us to win all the prizes in the current tournament, which then cascaded.
At the moment, this alliance "GamerProgress" in the sector "Joehnk Gallaxy" has a base level of 4791 and a force score of 10,690,764. However, our inventory has so many troops that I would have to pay 2 people to click everything we have won.
If this experiement goes well, we may have additional insight into map play, tournaments, and other aspects of the game.
Fight hard, fight well!

Weekly updates have been posted, including the new sector 'Frosty Leo'.
As always, if anyone has more suggestions on data and statistics that you would like to see, send me email.
We are still investigating pulling data in for tournaments - getting the data for tournaments is a lot more intensive and more intrusive into the Kabam servers, so despite a desire to do this, I also don't want Kabam to get too upset and close off the access.

The site has been updated with new data, however, we have noticed a bug in a couple of screens so we'll be fixing that ASAP and uploading a new set of data/pages shortly.
sorry about the odd data today.
How is everyone liking the new stats - growth rates, graphs, and especially the up and coming page?
we are still working on adding more statistics - we just have to sort our a few things.
As always, have fun!

First things first - Merry Christmas to everyone! Even if this isn't a day of celebration for you, please accept our best wishes for peace and happiness for all the days of your life.
Secondly, Tarkin, actually this displaying multiple days of data is expected behavior. We have updated the site a bit more. We have made our statistics calculations work across and arbitrary time interval for the downloads (moving us one step closer to automation and to perhaps doing daily updates).
If you look closely, you should see that the data is actually different between the Dec 22 and Dec 23 lines - as long as the player did something during that time period.
We've also moved the fast growing players and alliances to their own page - Growth Leaders. We hope you like this new placement.
Have a wonderful holiday, or if this is not a holiday for you, then have fun gaming in EW.
