Well we're 8th now but I have noticed that we are the third most voted for site on the top fifty and we're 8th. I say that is pretty damn good considering 478 people are voting Cantr II at 5 most of the time. Plus we have 634 hits out from that site. I think one of these days we will hit the top 50 for sure.

We're now 7th with 490 people voting (at least that better be the case). There are three sites that have more people voting but all of them are very far under us. It is only a matter of time before Cantr makes #1.

More precisely, we are at 7th place with 490 total votes so far. A far smaller number of unique people will have voted. It does bother me, that the site's algorithm allows a site with only 11 votes of evaluation to be eligible to even enter the top 50 list. Surely a much larger representation with a slightly lower average ranking signifies a better game overall.

I've done a short calculation. We're currently at an average rating of 4.60782. I've set a goal of 4.71 for us. That would currently make us #1. At the moment, we have 500 votes.

Given that data, and assuming that I haven't included any errors in my calculation, we need 177 rate 5 votes to pass the 4.71 rating.

If malevolent minds rate Cantr lower, the amount dramatically increases.

That means that twenty people rating Cantr at 5 for slightly over a week will achieve this goal.

Cantr has more votes in than 47 of the other listed sites.
Cantr has more hits out than 35 of the other listed sites.

I am considering writing a letter to the administrators of that site, asking them to consider whether their algorithm is robust and stable, and a good way to measure a site's popularity for their Top 50 list.

LMFAO...don't do that, they might kick Cantr off...at least we're staying in the top 10 now.

Alas, were nr. 14 now. Its those lame "few votes" sites... So damn easy, it's almost cheating. We should have a club of 20 ppl voting 5 each day to stay on top... :evil:

How many people are voting daily?

I know that I am, and I assume, that Cosmo, Jerry, Solfius, and you, Orion, are.

Makes 5 so far.

Postby **Thomas Pickert** » Sat Sep 27, 2003 12:51 am

Count me in, I never miss a day. I guess I make #8

ephiroll · Postby **ephiroll** » Sat Sep 27, 2003 12:54 pm

yep, everyday mostly, I miss maybe one day a week.

XBL · Postby **XBL** » Sat Sep 27, 2003 1:09 pm

I vote almost everyday... miss sometimes (have to do other things, than playing cantr, sadly). But I try to vote everyday.

That makes 10

But don't forget, that there are actually also other people voting... people who might not like cantr (cant believe it, but it is possible).
