All three of you are close to 35%, which is a pretty common placement.

If going by the 10 games played standard, the unluckiest (win-loss percentage doesn’t indicate that someone “sucks”) would be Boogs at 0-16, or DisgruntledPorcupine at 1-21.

I didn't even know that would happen.

Pretty cool for Boomslang to be the only person on both lists.

Pre-2016 rankings:

1. Golden - 66.67% (15)
2. Nevinera - 63.64% (11)
T3. a2thezebra - 45.45% (11)
T3. Ricochet - 45.45% (11)
5. Bass the Clever - 40.00% (25)
6. Mongoose - 39.13% (23)
7. Boomslang - 38.46% (13)
8. Roxy - 37.93% (29)
9. Long Con - 36.36% (22)
10. DharmaHelper - 35.00% (20)

That 2016 marker made an incredible difference for nijuukyugou. Before: 8-36 | After: 10-7

I decided to check it out. This is the top ten in win percentage for games starting in 2016 or later (10 games played minimum in that stretch). This does not perfectly reflect the survival win condition rules and the cultural shift, but it's close enough. I may have made error(s).

1. JaggedJimmyJay - 67.86% (28)
2. dunya - 64.29% (14)
3. nijuukyugou - 58.82% (17)
4. sprityo - 57.89% (19)
5. LoRab - 56.25% (16)
6. ColinIsCool - 54.55% (11)
7. Sloonei - 53.57% (28)
8. Boomslang - 53.33% (15)
9. Spacedaisy - 52.78% (36)
10. M Plus 7 - 51.61% (31)

I've drawn a clean line on the spreadsheet and when time permits I might be able to check out the other side of 2016.

Colin is in it now too. 6 for 10.

I was curious how this shakes out presently. I realize this will look like self-congratulation given my own rank, but I have been shit this year so leave me alone.

T1. dunya - 63.64% (11)
T1. Nevinera - 63.64% (11)
3. JaggedJimmyJay - 61.76% (34)
4. sprityo - 58.82% (17)
5. Enrique - 58.33% (12)
6. Sloonei - 46.67% (30)
7. Boomslang - 46.43% (28)
8. Simon - 45.45% (11)
9. Matt - 45.00% (20)
10. Golden - 42.86% (35)

Notes:

~ The number in parentheses is the total number of games played.

~ I established a minimum of 10 total games played for members to qualify for this list. This standard is arbitrary beyond being a "nice, even number" or "the first double-digit number". Some standard is necessary though to facilitate a decent sample.

~ Many players who played a large number of games prior to 2016 (or so) are at a disadvantage -- it was more common then for games to feature a "live to win" condition for civilians and/or others, and this resulted in fewer wins and more losses across the board.

~ Wins and losses reflect chance occurrence as much as anything else, so I wouldn't take much from this beyond it being neat. Some good players here have had really bad luck in the win column, and that's just the way it goes.
