Conquer Club

Concise description:
When you get game finder results, show the number of won games, alongside the the total number of games in that category.

Specifics/Details:
Either as an option or standard, give the total number of wins on particular games instead of just the overall count

For example, I could search for all my speed games and see how many I have won. OR, I could look at all my games on a particular map. We could search people other than ourselves, but that is just an example.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
Since medals are based on the number of games won, this will help those of use without the maprank plugin, etc. to know how close we are to earning medals.
Also, I think many people are as interested in knowing how many games on, say each map or category they have won, not just the total number they have played.

It seems as if it would not require a lot of excess programming and would give us information many of us would like to see.

I'm not sure what you're saying.
You want the total wins for what now?

I have an expansion on this. A selection to display only games that you've won, instead of just a number. What it could be used for: personal history, CC Special events might be able to make use of it, etc.

This will greatly help those of us without maprank to know how close we are to earning medals, plus its just good information to know. It seems as if it would not require a lot of excess programming and would give us information many of us would like to see.

how will knowing how many games you have won help you ?

I edited my intitial post, hopefully clarifying.

I would like to know how close I am to certain medals, but without maprank, I would have to count the games by hand or ask someone with the add on to do it for me.

But, I think people are sometimes just interested in this information. I think its of as much interest as just knowing the number of games we play in a particular category, etc.

I can see how it might be used for tournaments and such, too, though.

for tournaments I could see that if you can't download tour stats

but for medals it wouldn't work very well at all. First of all, games can be different sizes, 1 win can be worth 1 defeat, or 7. More importantly, medals are by UNIQUE defeats, so if you beat the same guy 10000000 times, it's still only 1 unique defeat towards a medal, and that would not be factored in.

Game size difference don't matter. You can already narrow or widen those options as much as you want. The unique defeats bit is a good point. It would not be that difficult to count unique defeats, but even if its just the overall total, it would still be of interest to a lot of people.

This is information already available to people who have the add-ons (plug-ins,whatever). So, there obviously is a demand. I just want to see it within CC itself so everyone, not just those with the fancy stuff can see.

can you not do this from http://chipv.freehostia.com/scoreboard.php?

I guess it takes maprank to populate the server, or does it? Seems like chip was going to try to get it to auto-populate on some recurring basis?

The whole point is that not every can or wants to use non-official CC programs.

Right. I use Google Chrome which doesn't have maprank. Also, we can see cases where "just because an add-on exists" doesn't mean the suggestion isn't valid in the case of Teammate Spoils, which is now a site feature.
