Hi everyone!!!
It's your resident Biplane Girl again (YAY BIPLANES).
A few weeks ago there was a good deal of discussions about clans, clan rivalries and the fact that there was no effective way for Clans to compete in any meaningful way and some open questions as to what could be done about that.
I sort of began casting about for a way that Clans might actually be able to rate themselves against each other in some uniform way so I went to the Clan Boards and started poking around. The problem with the existing Clan Board is that a lot of the clans listed there are either dead or have a few active members but a HUGE number of highly rated pilots that have left the game. These clans, even though they are largely or totally inactive, may still have a high "clan rating" in the system which makes the way that data is displayed not particularly helpful or even very valid.
So I decided to do something simple but something that could solve at least part of the issue and give some meaningful data to the community and clans. I decided to use the information on the Clan Boards but include only "active" clans". I decided that a clan that averaged at least one battle per day per member was likely to be "active". This would eliminate the clans which were essentially dead as well as those with a small number of active pilots and hordes of inactive ones which are having their effective clan rating inflated by continuing to hold highly rated inactive pilots on their clan rolls.
Anyway, after having done this for a few weeks and gain some mostly positive (and a bit of negative) responses, it was suggested I put this into it's own thread so ... here it is, the most current weeks ratings for the 31 active clans in WOWPS.
This information is based on the data contained in the Clan Ratings Board. Clans with a Average Battles per Day per Member rating of under 1 battle are considered "inactive" clans and are not included in these rankings. These rankings are based on the Clan Rating as calculated by WG.
For quick reference, the following information is provided.
Clan Ranking - If a Clan has moved up the board to a new higher ranking a +1 will show immediately after the rank and a -1 if the clan has fallen back in the rankings.
Clan Rating - Calculated by WG. If the clan's rating has increased or decreased the amount of this increase or decrease will be shown directly after the rating. Changes in rating are also color coded with normal black text indicating no change in the rating, blue text indicating and increase in the rating and green text indicating a decrease in the rating.
