This goes along well with the last bit of news... people don't have to worry about their old, crappy work since it won't affect them now. So now we can really see the evolution of an artist since their old work won't negatively affect their stats.

I do agree, though, that 3 submissions is a bit low. Maybe something a bit more inclusive would be nice, giving the artist more incentive to submit more and more good work? I was thinking 5 or 10 would be good numbers to ensure that there might still be one or two works of flash sticking around that the artist would want out of their pool.

Agreed! This is definitely one of the greatest updates ever!!!
Now the portal is gonna rock ass like it was before!

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 14:20:14


Excellent idea. I had deleted a submission, to see if the batting average would change. When it was higher than I had calculated I was confused. Now I get it. That's a fair rule, though it might not be a bad idea to use like the top 1/3 of a user's submissions, to properly weight it. Just a thought.

lol this update is so great ...! Even Fat Badger ( the King of the TOTW ) Batting Average went from a 2.92 to a 4.12 !!! Hahhaa!!!! This will definitely shut the mouthes of those who diss him because of his turds!

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 14:22:26


I would like to thank james for kicking my batting average up about 0.20 and putting me at 4.12. :D

Hahaha, if it weren't for all the other authors that I'm sure that are in the same situation as me, that I'd be on the top 50 rated artists tomorrow!

We can't have X-naut without his F+ now, can we??

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 14:37:44


that's one of the few drawbacks of this system ... now X-Naut no longer has his perfect F+ Average... but not to worry.... I will help you out X-Naut ... I will vote 0 on your entries every day so you can earn your F+ again!

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 14:38:04


oh swell sir.

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 14:38:12


Will we have to change the minimum batting average for a ballob because of this, due to everyones B/A going up a good amount. (mine when up .88)

Thats awesome. For the longest time my batting average was like B+ or something gay because of my old little shitty submissions I made in 2 minutes.


I was never really here.

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 14:41:06


this change should make alot of user happy,a nice update for all flash makers...

OMG STALKER

well it was 3.70. I thought it was pretty good actually, considering the amount of submissions i had.

But 4.07 looks sweet too.

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 14:48:29


Yay! I'm now at a 4.18! Pretty cool. I kind of liked the average of all, rather than of the user's top three, but I have no problem with it I guess.

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 14:49:01


another positive change,

oh, and give james a break, NG is a lot to handle on his own, what about hiring another guy to help him with his work? so many changes :)

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 14:49:54


Batting average: 4.01 / 5.00 (A+)
Swell =D Great idea, Tom/Liljim. Kinda like how THPS3 skate competitions go about. I like.

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 14:52:24


I actually really dislike that new change. Now flash artists can sbmit a horrible flash and it doesn't affect their battling average unless of course they're top flashes aren't necessarily that high scored. I like to know their overall average not just their best work's average.

We will see a lot more collabs now though. I suggest making the new collab Batting Average requirement 3.75.

Sweet, my BA went up by about .20!

and with the top 3 average, this is the perfect time to submit Tupac, "Bad Day"

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 15:13:45


I know I was watchinh the discussion yesterday. But I never expected that will happen -- TODAY!

So, thank you, it is a nice new one.

Today my BA 3,62, and yesterday it was 3,11. I am not sure if this is because of deletting my four worst movies yesterday or because of the new feature, but still better.

MUCH BETTER!

(hope that won't overload the db server :D )

Response to Batting Average 2006-06-23 15:15:23


That's much better. I always got paranoid about batting average.

Wish you'd put this up before the delete system though, now I've lost all my old crap :(
