player rankings and game statistics
  • darse at 2012-01-21

    I've enjoyed my first few games of Empathy, and have enjoyed some success (winning on my first two tries, then 3 out of 5, and coming very close on a couple of others).

    I didn't see a good way of finding out who the best players are, so i wrote a program to gather and parse all the game results, and calculate a few different metrics. The next couple of posts will provide the results of that analysis.

    Please critique or comment on my methods, or suggest other measures that you might like to see.

    Here are the three scoring methods i used:

    1. The shared win - shared loss score.

    All the winners share in the win, and all the non-winners share in the loss. For example, if there were 22 players, and two of them tied for first, then the winners would each earn 1/2 = 0.5 wins, and the non-winners would each get -1/20 = -0.05 losses (making it a zero-sum metric). Over many games, we sum a player's win/loss shares, and divide by the number of games played to get an average.

    2. The number of “chips” won.

    This model is like a poker game: everyone antes one chip to play, and the winners split the pot equally. In the previous example, each of the non-winners would net -1 chip, while the winners would net +10 chips each (they gross 11 chips, but it cost them 1 for the ante). That makes it a zero-sum total again, and winning a game with many players counts for more than winning a smaller game. Over many games, we sum the chip totals, and divide by the number of games played to get an average (or “return on investment”, ROI).

    3. The fraction of the best possible score.

    Here we compare the player's score to the maximum score possible (i.e. the sum of the top 10 answers). [1] Since 10 unique answers still earns 10 points, i subtract 10 from both totals to get a fraction in the range 0.0 - 1.0. [2] Over many games, we sum the fractions, and divide by the number of games played to get an average.

    I did not sort the player rankings by average fraction, because that number depends a lot on which games were played. Some wins will have a 1.0 fraction, while other games have tough categories where the winning fraction might be only 0.75, or less. The average winning fraction was 0.9037 (~90%) over the 65 games in the archive so far. [3]

    Footnotes:

    [1] If no one had a perfect score, then you could argue that the best possible score was actually a little higher. I ignore that and just use the sum of the top 10 answers as the denominator.

    [2] Some players somehow managed to score less than 10 (e.g. an incomplete entry), but they do not score below 0.0.

    [3] I've read some forum posts indicating that many past games were lost as a result of a server crash. Unfortunately, i have no way of accessing those game results.

    For the averages, a minimum number of games is required, so that statistically meaningless results don't pollute the top of the list. If a player has played less than the minimum number of games, then their totals are divided by the minimum instead of by the actual number of games (i.e. a true Bayesian average). I would normally choose a 10-game or 20-game minimum, but i chose 7 here because Richard's Empathy results page gives a table for the last 7 games. [No, i didn't choose 7 just because that's the number of games i've played under “drbot” – and i'd still be on top of the list with a 20-game minimum anyway, so there. :-p]

    For the player rankings, i've only shown the top 27 out of 121 players who have played at least one game of Empathy (roughly the top 22%). There was a natural break at around the zero expected value point, just above the many players who have played only one game.

    I haven't shown the whole table because i don't want to risk causing any embarrassment to anyone. If you're not on the list, and would like to know your ranking and stats, then send me a message and i'll send you the row.

    Following the player rankings will be a summary of all the games played so far (since the crash). Included in that table is the number of unique answers given for each game (and average number of uniques per player), which can be viewed as a measure of how disperse the answers were (or perhaps how hard the category was, in terms of reaching common consensus choices).

    I'm new to LG, and not yet sure how to do proper formatting, so forgive me if the first attempts get messed up.

    Hmm… both blah and blah tags flunk…

    Rather than posting more messed-up tables, could someone advise me on how to post fixed-width font (plain text), without losing the correct spacing? Thanks.

    Err…, that should read [code] and [verbatim] tags, with angle brackets.

    (Okay, [quote] [/quote] doesn't work and [pre] [/pre] HTML tags give double spacing, but i'll just have to live with that…)

    Here are the player rankings again, this time sorted by average chips (i.e. return on investment, or ROI), and using a 10-game minimum.

    The cut-off is a bit higher this time (24 players above the one-loss group).

    Please comment on which method you prefer.

    Finally, here are some stats on each Empathy game played so far, in chronological order.

    The games with the highest ratio of unique answers are games 15, 50, 46, and 51, with an average of 5 unique answers per player, or more.

    And… i'll have to send it in two chunks because it exceeds the size limits.

    Game Details:
     Legend:
         game = game number
         plrs = number of players
           1s = number of answers that were unique (1)
          1pp = average number of uniques per player
           Ws = number of winners
       wshare = bonus for winning = (1 / number of winners)
      -lshare = penalty for not winning = (-1 / number of non-winners)
        chips = number of chips earned for the winner(s) (1-chip ante)
     fraction = fraction of the maximum score = (score - 10) / (maxscore - 10)
                [ 1.0 = a perfect top 10 list,  0.0 = 10 unique picks (1) ]

    Thanks for the link, SpectreOfBob. :)

    Q1: Are there particular ways that mongoose looks at the results that you really like? Golf scorecard, maybe?

    Q2: Is there some old data there that might be salvaged and used in current reports? The “time machine” links are all File Not Found.

  • Hjallti ★ at 2012-01-22

    I guess Richard somehow made old results invisible due to complaints about repeated topics.

  • Hjallti ★ at 2012-01-22

    In fact I liked most the stats about most wins, most top10 places. I think I was around 30 when mongoose stopped to deliver results and I got a series of great results… a shame I never so my climb…

  • MarleysGhost at 2012-01-22

    Yes, the golf scorecard is my favorite. 2nd favorite is Top Ten Percentage.

  • ypercube at 2012-01-22

    I guess Richard somehow made old results difficult to find (not invisible) due to the page that showed all results was slow.

    See here the results off the first Empathy game, Date: January 29, 2006 Expression: Snow

  • darse at 2012-01-22

    Wow, thanks for that, ypercube! I was fetching all the recent webpages, but for some reason it never occurred to me to try the earlier game numbers – and they appear to work fine!

    That should make future lists far more comprehensive.

  • slaapgraag at 2012-01-23

    Marleys, thx for posing that link. Ths 'golfcard' was my favourite too, always meant for me 'the best player of the moment'. Oh, I was GOOD back then ;-). Too bad it doesnt work anymore….

    I'll see what i can do along those lines, but i have some other improvements to do first.

    I've now gathered the backlog games. I see that you rank third in all-time wins, and have amassed an impressive hoard of chips:

    I have some new results, going all the way back to game #1…

    I'm going to re-start the discussion in a new thread, because the very wide game summary table makes it hard to read the other posts (it causes horizontal scrolling). Starting from scratch will also allow me to lose the formatting errors in the early posts.
