Frankly I find it interesting he didn't comment on the massive score increase of NPO. Makes sense, don't want to give away the fact you are going to war. Still, should be a fascinating update. And it is about time for this to be pinned.

never thought of that. True though

Also I've noticed a lot of TOOL wars with the reason on "Ghostbusting." I am very glad to see TOOL take a turn for the better.

Thank Shingo for being the only one brave enough to go through our entire ingame member list by hand and compare it to our forum one. :D

We're coming for ya TOOL :((

I expect you'll pass us, with our ghostbusting and your military buildup. But we're going to start recruiting soon. :ph34r: Enjoy being ahead while you can. :P

You finally put that in? It only took months from when I put it out there.

Got shelved for a while... other stuff going on, like the new Charter and gov/mil reorganization. Plus, we had a hard time finding someone brave enough to go through the ingame and forum memberlists by hand. Again, hats off to Shingo. :D

Score and NS is not updated until members collect taxes. Since over half of the GPA is in Anarchy, they won't be collecting taxes, and thus their NS and portions of alliance-wise score are not updated. This is the reason for apparently insignificant GPA losses.

Actually I believe you're wrong. NS is updated when a transaction is made, so whenever a GPA nation buys a soldier or Cm they'll have their stats updated.

Commentary

Wild day. Great time to be busy Logan... gosh... :P Anyway, let's start with the huge gains near the top, especially with militarized alliances. NPO's enormous increase is startling, considering how recently their war began. Grämlins dropped noticeably, were immediately passed by TPF and GATO, and remain only .01 above MHA. Probably just one of those massive improvement swaps or tech deals... We know they'll jump right back up. Down towards the bottom, much less happened; many alliances lost score or went nowhere. Nice jumps by FOK, NATO and VE... while NADC continues to rocket down the charts. However, they'll be thanking the GPA for taking the title of "Biggest Loser" for today, and, from the looks of some of the conversations in this forum, the next several days/weeks/months/years. Invicta passes Legion, yet again. RIA moves up another slot, even though they lost points themselves. Atlantis gets a shout-out just because they're cool. B)

Check my math/colors/bolding/ranking... I did it all by hand. And for the record, it took 48 minutes.

You may be right, I admit I probably have forgotten in the long time sicne I've had to calculate things like this. I just know that score and NS aren't updated automatically as many seem to believe.

Regardless, Few GPAers are collecting or buying anything, so my point stands :)

Horde, for reference NS is basically the only part of the score calculation: each nation is currently worth a score of

0.0107 every chunk 3000 NS is worth exactly

0.01

Those are the only considerations in the equation and, as you can see, a 3000 NS Nation is worth 2 times the score of a new nation, a 30000 11 times.

The math simplified:

divide NS by 3000 them multiply by .01 and add an extra .01 (or .0107 if your that picky) for the lulzs and you have the score of your nation.

Nukes themselves are simply worth the 50 NS they add to your nation. Many over estimate their score value and this irks me. For reference 5000 nukes are worth a sad .83 in score. (I lol'ed at those who thought GPA could recover #1 by maxing nukes)

I hope this is useful to anyone wondering how score works.

Sorry guys. I got on at about 2 Pacific time and the forums were down, then I had to go to work. I'm just glad that people like this topic enough to pick it up if no one else can do it. Editing the update in OP. Thanks winstonopai.
